(NaturalNews) Major soft drink and cereal manufacturers in Britain have pledged to reduce sugar content in their products, but only to avoid a new 'sugar tax' being considered by Prime Minister David Cameron.
Cereal giant Kellogg's has promised to use 723 tons less sugar in all its cereals starting in 2016, including Frosties and Coco Pops – which currently contain 35 percent sugar.
Coca-Cola is expected to stand its ground regarding the sugar content in its main product (7 teaspoons...

 There are 'fracking' chemicals in your toothpaste, detergents and ice creamBy Jennifer Lea Reynolds, January 30 2016
(NaturalNews) Most people take measures to ensure that the items they use in their homes on a daily basis are not on par with things that are considered unsafe for their bodies or the environment.
However, researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder have discovered that the toxic substances in fracking fluid, which are going down wells, are essentially the same as what's going down the drain in people's households. Their findings, which are published in the journal Analytical Chemistry...
 U.S. missile defenses rendered totally obsolete by Mach 10 hypersonic missile developed by ChinaBy Daniel Barker, January 30 2016
(NaturalNews) China has just conducted the third flight test of a hypersonic missile which has the potential of breaching U.S. missile defense systems. The successful flight test of the Wu-14 hypersonic glide vehicle was carried out early in December, following two other tests which occurred earlier in 2014.

 Drive-thru supermarket invention allows people to keep getting fatter on processed junk foods without even having to leave their carsBy L.J. Devon, Staff Writer, January 30 2016
(NaturalNews) An immobile, self-crippling generation of processed, junk food dependents may have something to look forward to in the near future. A new drive-thru supermarket invention is poised to capitalize on consumer laziness, providing a unique drive-thru shopping experience that allows people to shop from the comfort of their own vehicles.
Instead of dragging their feet through the supermarket, barely making it through the checkout aisle, the future generation of lazy consumers will be able...
 Chinese scientists genetically engineer monkeys to be autisticBy Sarah Knight, January 30 2016
(NaturalNews) In a controversial study that has been slammed by animal rights groups, scientists in China have engineered autistic macaques using a human "autism gene" that has been linked to autistic symptoms. The study hopes to find a treatment for the poorly understood disorder that can be severely debilitating for humans.
The engineered monkeys behave in similar ways to humans afflicted with autism, showing symptoms such as making repetitive gestures, being anxious and having poor social interaction...
 TalkNetwork.com radio host and citizen journalist Pete Santilli arrested in Oregon standoff, charged with conspiracy against the U.S. governmentBy Mike Adams, January 29 2016
(NaturalNews) To all Natural News readers: I normally wouldn't be posting this article on Natural News, as we've switched all politics and liberty coverage over to NewsTarget.com. But with all the rumors and speculation now circulating about Pete Santilli, I thought it important to chime in and issue our TalkNetwork.com joint statement from myself and the producers. It always disturbs me when citizen journalists get arrested and charged with serious crimes.
Before I get to that, let me disclose...
 36 children die in war-torn Syria from UN measles vaccines; government claims vaccines were intentionally sabotagedBy J. D. Heyes, January 29 2016
(NaturalNews) It isn't as if the current civil war in Syria has not already taken a ravenous toll on the Middle Eastern country's children, but so, too, has a recently administered measles vaccine that the Assad government claims was sabotaged.
According to a mid-September report by Britain's Telegraph newspaper, at least 36 children were recently reported to have died "excruciating deaths" after being given what Damascus says were "tainted" vaccines via a United Nations-sponsored program in the...
 Group of scientists gave standing ovation for plan to kill 90 percent of human population with airborne EbolaBy Ethan A. Huff, January 29 2016
(NaturalNews) Some clues about the origins of the latest Ebola outbreak may be found in the contents of a speech given at the 109th meeting of the Texas Academy of Science back in 2006. Professor Erik Pianka reportedly told his audience that the best way to kill off 90 percent of the human population would be to spread an airborne version of the Ebola virus, to which he received an enthusiastic standing ovation.
As reported by Australian journalist John Ballantyne, Pianka opened up the meeting...
 North America being bathed in radiation from Fukushima... alarming levels now 1,000 times above normal for alpha particlesBy Sarah Landers, January 29 2016
(NaturalNews) Official data reported at the National Conference on Radiation Control shows that the U.S. has been experiencing a huge spike in radiation from Fukushima. Levels are considered to be far exceeding the federal regulatory limit, with nearly 1,000 times the normal amount of alpha particles recorded, including plutonium.(1)
Data analysis of Californian air samples, taken seven weeks after Fukushima began to release radiation in 2011, shows gross alpha activity of 200
 Flint, Michigan, still harassing public with past due water bills even though water is contaminated with toxic leadBy Harold Shaw, January 29 2016
(NaturalNews) On January 5, a state of emergency was finally declared in Flint, Michigan. Having switched back to Detroit water in October 2015, the city of Flint still had a long way to go before their lead-poisoned water was once again safe to drink.
Nevertheless, it seemed as if the recent crisis never even took place when Flint decided to dish out around 1,800 water shut-off notices in November. These were to arrive at their respective households early in January, just as the state of emergency...
 Stage 4 cancer survivor speaks the truth about cancerBy Jonathan Landsman, January 29 2016
(NaturalNews) A diagnosis of cancer can bring immense fear, anxiety and feelings of hopelessness. Most newly diagnosed patients and their family members will listen closely to what their physician tells them is the best avenue for treatment, then follow that advice, relying completely on a course of radiation or chemotherapy to slow their cancer. But that way of combatting cancer - without changes to diet and lifestyle – never provides the cure.
The failure of Western medicine: Most conventionally...
 Chinese hackers have been unleashed onto Taiwan over Chou Tzuyu Taiwan flag rowBy S. Johnson, January 29 2016
(NaturalNews) A South Korean entertainment company, criticized for forcing a teenage Taiwanese K-pop star to apologize for waving a Taiwanese flag on South Korean TV, has had its website taken down by hackers, a spokesman said Tuesday.
JYP Entertainment represents the singer, Chou Tzuyu, who was accused of supporting Taiwanese independence after briefly waving the Republic of China (ROC) flag on a South Korean TV show.
The incident did not occur on live television, but went viral in China and...
 Jury decides that 'climate necessity' excuses criminal actions, renders 'not guilty' verdictBy J. D. Heyes, January 29 2016
(NaturalNews) To a liberal – especially a climate change activist – there is no such thing as the rule of law when it comes to saving the planet. In fact, when the planet is at stake, then anything goes.
That's the only way to explain how a jury in one of the country's most liberal, environmentally-conscious sectors of the country, could vote to acquit obvious lawbreakers whose defense was, in essence, acting out of "climate necessity."
As noted by The Daily Beast, Seattle-area...
 Home schooling parents tasered, pepper-sprayed, children taken because of a neighbor complaint about a "messy home"By J. D. Heyes, January 29 2016
(NaturalNews) More and more, Americans who are guilty of nothing more than noncompliance with the status quo are being targeted by an out-of-control system that bears virtually no resemblance whatsoever to the nation's constitutional founding principles.
The latest example of "the system" run amok involves a Missouri home schooling family that has filed suit against a local sheriff and another officer after they forcibly entered the family's home in 2011, used a Taser on the father, pepper spray...
 Is the Gulf Stream broken? NOAA satellite data sounds alarmBy Jennifer Lea Reynolds, January 29 2016
(NaturalNews) It's no secret that the weather is becoming more severe as time goes on. From places like Buffalo, New York, which recently got hit with a hefty 5 feet of snow during one storm, to other areas that experience extreme temperature fluctuations from one day to the next, it's obvious that the climate is changing.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA) satellite data and details from an animated map called the Earth Wind Map, show that it's not only changing, but that it's...
 The illusion of choices in choosing a restaurant - Toxic factory food from a handful of suppliersBy Natural News Editor, January 29 2016
(NaturalNews) There are dozens of chain restaurants from which we can choose when we go out to eat. Some are fast-food eateries with counters for ordering, and others are traditional sit-down table service restaurants. Probably McDonalds is the most well-known fast-food chain, but dozens of other chains dot the landscape of towns and cities throughout America. (Story by John P. Thomas, republished from HealthImpactNews.com.)
As of 2012, there were 263,944 fast food restaurants in America with...
 Robots will obliterate America's middle class and unleash mass unemployment, social chaos and global populist revoltsBy Mike Adams, January 28 2016
(NaturalNews) In the next generation or so, highly capable robots will obliterate America's middle class by displacing tens of millions of workers.
We're already seeing it take shape. Check out this robotic crop production facility that uses robots to produce 30,000 heads of fresh lettuce each day. This is precisely the kind of technology that makes humans obsolete.
As robotic systems become more capable in the coming years, nearly all low-wage labor jobs will be taken over by affordable, reliable...
 The virus vs. humanity: Rapid spread of Zika virus causes governments of South American nations to plead with women, 'Don't have any more babies!'By J. D. Heyes, January 28 2016
(NaturalNews) It's become the latest mega-virus to spread to countries around the world, and like the deadly Ebola virus that was just recently declared contained – though the disease killed someone in Sierra Leone after the declaration was made – its spread has stumped medical investigators.
As reported by the Washington Post, a few days ago the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed that a dozen cases of the Zika virus had been found in the United States, as the...
 CDC channels Natural News, now says whooping cough vaccine doesn't work... but recommends more vaccines anywayBy Harold Shaw, January 28 2016
(NaturalNews) It seems that the CDC's only mission is to acquire immunity against its own errors. Even though the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is known to promote vaccines that incur over 20 possible side effects, including deafness, coma and permanent brain damage, they seem to only be worried that their whooping cough vaccines are on their way to becoming nothing more than vitamin shots or worse. As the effectiveness of the vaccine against the B. pertussis bacteria almost completely...
 Grain terminal in North Dakota 100% dedicated to non-GMO harvestsBy Jennifer Lea Reynolds, January 28 2016
(NaturalNews) In a move that further reinforces the wave of health-consciousness that's sweeping the nation, a newly-acquired North Dakota grain terminal has its sights set on creating and maintaining a fully non-GMO facility.
Captain Drake, LLC's million-bushel grain terminal, is addressing the growing demand for all things non-GMO, and as such, is dedicated to helping its clients enjoy their non-GMO commodities. The company also maintains that it's the only U.S. supplier of citric acid which...
 Big Pharma drug trials critically injure six, leaving one brain dead; mainstream media points finger at marijuana not used in experimentBy Julie Wilson staff writer, January 28 2016
(NaturalNews) A Portugal-based drug maker is being accused of trying to conceal details about a clinical drug trial that went severely awry earlier this month, leaving one person brain-dead and four others seriously injured. The trial took place in Rennes, France, and was conducted by Biotrial, a third-party drug evaluation and pharmacology research firm with offices in London and Newark, New Jersey.
The drug being tested was a painkiller manufactured by Bial, one of the largest and oldest pharma...
 22,000 nurses across America refuse to submit to risky, mandatory vaccinesBy L.J. Devon, Staff Writer, January 28 2016
(NaturalNews) "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." These are the wise words of Ayn Rand, who at a young age witnessed the confiscation of her father's business by Russia's communist Bolshevik party. Rand was forced to flee with her family to Crimea, as their individual property rights were trampled upon by the collectivist vision of Russia's Vladimir Lenin.
Honoring the rights of the individual is the foundation...
 If you buy Apple devices, you're supporting child slave labor that's used to mine rare elements used in manufacturingBy Harold Shaw, January 28 2016
(NaturalNews) How would you feel if you found out that your laptop, smartphone, iPod, iPhone and tens of other consumer electronics started out in a small African village, in a place where irresponsible corporate management allows children to mine poisonous heavy metals? Believe it or not, all your rechargeable devices equipped with lithium-ion batteries need cobalt in order to be built. Brands from Apple to Microsoft, Samsung to Huawei, Sony, Vodafone, Dell, Lenovo, HP, LG and many more, are responsible...
 U.S. medical infrastructure collapsing as drug shortages in emergency rooms skyrocket by 400%By Harold Shaw, January 28 2016
(NaturalNews) Emergency rooms play a crucial role in the proper functioning of health care in the United States. During any given year, 45% of American people visit the ER, but a recent study published by the Academic Emergency Medicine journal suggests that not all of them can receive help. According to the study, between 2001 and 2014, drug shortages in ERs throughout the U.S. increased by a staggering 400%.
For some patients, this translated into prolonged duration of their diseases, permanent...
 Survey: 63 percent of American families can't afford $1,000 ER visitBy J. D. Heyes, January 28 2016
(NaturalNews) Things are better today in America than they were during the first few years of the Obama presidency, when the Great Recession was in full swing, and unemployment was high.
Or so we're told.
While the employment rate is certainly lower today than at its peak of 10 percent, what is also true is that the overall quality of employment is nowhere near as good as it was prior to Obama's two terms in office. In fact, the president's policies have done more to harm employment and depress...
 Coming soon: human head transplants to allow people to live forever?By J. D. Heyes, January 28 2016
(NaturalNews) It sounds like something straight out of a science fiction movie, but an eccentric Italian surgeon is claiming that the world's first head transplant has taken place.
As reported by the UK's Daily Mail, Dr. Sergio Canavero says that researchers in China have successfully carried out a head transplant on a monkey. Canavero, the paper said, caused somewhat of a storm of controversy last year, when he revealed his own intentions to transplant a human head, adding that it may be a cure...
 The real purpose of Wikipedia is to SUPPRESS human knowledge, not document itBy J. D. Heyes, January 28 2016
(NaturalNews) There is a reason why Wikipedia – which boasts that it is the world's biggest online encyclopedia – is not considered a valid academic source by thousands of professors and most reputable colleges and universities: Because it isn't one.
According to a genuine purveyor of truth, that is, TruthWiki, rival Wikipedia actually works to suppress information and data, simply by excluding it from entries.
"Available in most languages, the definitions, quotes and 'Wiki-species'...
 Government 'experts' claim all alcohol, including red wine, is bad for you: Here's why they're wrongBy David Gutierrez, January 28 2016
(NaturalNews) In its first major overhaul of national alcohol consumption recommendations in 20 years, the British government has set the lowest recommended limits of any nation in Europe, and emphasized the idea that there is no "safe" level of alcohol intake.
In doing so, the government consciously chose to downplay evidence that low to moderate consumption of alcohol – particularly red wine – can have marked health benefits. Instead, the report emphasizes the fact that any increase...
 Working with pesticides raises women's risk of diabetesBy Jennifer Lea Reynolds, January 28 2016
(NaturalNews) It's no secret that certain factors such as mass body index (BMI), race and family history are among the main contributors associated with diabetes development. While such risk factors still play a role, a new study has found that there's likely another reason behind onset of the disease, one that specifically involves women.
Researchers from North Carolina State University assessed data from a large population study that focused on the female spouses of agricultural workers in Iowa...

 Mankind's destruction of the ecosystem causing rapid spread of Zika virus that causes horrific birth defectsBy Daniel Barker, January 27 2016
(NaturalNews) Call it Mother Nature's revenge ...
The spread of a once-rare disease that causes birth defects – and which may also be linked to cases of another paralyzing disease – is almost certainly related to mankind's destruction of ecosystems.
The disease – Zika virus – is spreading rapidly throughout the world, with more than a dozen cases having now been reported in the United States. The mosquito-borne Zika virus has been linked to a rise in cases of microcephaly...
 Western chocolate corporations causing new 'Dust Bowl' in third-world countries with destructive cacao farming practicesBy Jennifer Lea Reynolds, January 27 2016
(NaturalNews) The effects of the Western World's less-than-ideal way of farming, coupled with its need for greed, are being felt in countries across the globe – and that's definitely not a good thing. In particular, cacao farmers are left scratching their heads, frantically searching for a way to meet a surge in chocolate demand, all the while lacking the resources to make it possible.
Yaa Amekudzi, who runs Mondelez's cocoa sustainability operations in Ghana, says that, "They need to change...
 Global supplies of food and medicine now in a state of collapse... learn to grow your own food or STARVEBy Harold Shaw, January 27 2016
(NaturalNews) On January 13, which seemed nothing more than a usual Wednesday, something truly historic happened.

With the help of GoodGopher and GPS tracking technology, we're able to verify this statement and further investigate the halt that didn't just happen in the blink of an eye. In fact, for the past several years...
 Biological men can now compete against women in the Olympics by claiming they're womenBy J. D. Heyes, January 27 2016
(NaturalNews) It has just gotten easier for Olympic-caliber male athletes who always found themselves just a couple ticks away from winning a medal, to finally bring home the gold, silver or bronze: Just deny your gender.
That's right. As noted by Breitbart News, all male Olympians have to do is declare that they're women, and get some medical treatments that will allow them to reduce their testosterone levels to under 10 nmol/L for at least 12 months, before they will be permitted to compete...

 Horseshoe crab populations in decline as Big Pharma snatches half a million each year to slowly drain their blood for vaccine testsBy L.J. Devon, Staff Writer, January 27 2016
(NaturalNews) As pharmaceutical "science" advances, it leaves a trail of carnage in its wake. Did you know that vaccine manufacturers are immune from all liability? The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVIC) was created by the US Congress in 1986 to circumvent the judicial process, to exempt vaccine manufacturers from being sued for damaging people's lives. The government vaccine court – that the mainstream media pretends doesn't exist – has paid out over $3 billion to vaccine...
 Cancer-causing candles? Some scented candles and air fresheners produce deadly chemicals that could give you cancerBy Julie Wilson staff writer, January 27 2016
(NaturalNews) With the exception of those sensitive to fragrances, the majority of folks enjoy delicious smelling aromas wafting through their homes. This is often achieved through the use of scented candles, but unfortunately those candles you love so dearly may be having unintended effects on your health.

 Science backlash after EPA to add totally inert argon to list of banned pesticide ingredientsBy Ethan A. Huff, January 27 2016
(NaturalNews) The scientific community is in an uproar after it was learned that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to ban an inert gas, one that occurs naturally in the air we breathe, from being used in pesticide formulas.
According to the agency, the natural element argon is considered a "hazardous" substance and should no longer be on the approved list of inert ingredients. Since it isn't used anymore anyway, claims the EPA, argon is best removed until it can be proven...
 Mainstream media touts flawed study claiming that exercise increases body fatBy Jonathan Benson, January 27 2016
(NaturalNews) Serving as further evidence of how little the mainstream scientific community understands about nutrition and health, a new study recently published in a reputable health journal makes the outrageous claim that exercise can actually cause some people to gain weight in the form of added fat.
Researchers from the Arizona State University (ASU) School of Nutrition and Health Promotion somehow came to the conclusion that aerobic exercise in women "typically results in minimal fat loss...
 Pharmaceutical companies fight marijuana legalization to keep patients addicted to opioid painkillersBy PF Louis, January 27 2016
(NaturalNews) The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) is constantly finding ways to bypass state laws that sanction medical marijuana and harass providers who are operating under those state laws. They are overt and obvious with their application of federal laws.
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which operates under the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), still classifies marijuana as a Schedule 1 drug, a rating that classifies it medicinally useless, dangerous, and addictive. Strangely...

 The latest science horror: Baby monkeys genetically engineered to suffer from autism symptoms... NATURE science journal celebrates 'breakthrough'By Mike Adams, January 26 2016
(NaturalNews) The latest horror from science is being hailed by the science journal Nature as a breakthrough for brain research, but it involves genetically engineering baby monkeys to cripple them and make them cognitively stunted and "autistic."
"The laboratory monkeys run obsessively in circles, largely ignore their peers and grunt anxiously when stared at," writes David Cyranoski in this Nature article. It's all part of an effort to use genetic engineering to create "psychiatric disorders...
 75% of world's fish have been wiped out by mankind ... Collapse of marine ecosystems now imminentBy Jennifer Lea Reynolds, January 26 2016
(NaturalNews) Many people point their fingers at climate change, underwater weapons testing, ocean quakes and biodiversity, as reasons behind the collapse of the marine ecosystem. While there's something to be said for these issues as contributing factors in the decline of marine life, the fact remains that the ongoing after-effects of Fukushima's radiation plays a significant role too.
Consider this: in 2006 – years before the nuclear disaster in Japan – a paper was published in the...
 The seven most extreme childhood allergies coincide directly with vaccine ingredientsBy S. D. Wells, January 26 2016
(NaturalNews) During the first year of life children are injected with known carcinogens and neurotoxins. Then, children develop strange food allergies, some so severe they can't even be in the room when someone takes out that food, like peanuts. Let's take a hard look at vaccines like the MMR, DTaP and HPV, and see just what these extreme allergies root themselves in, sending the body into a panic when it senses that same allergen, thinking it might be INJECTED into muscle tissue again. The immune...
 CT scans increase your risk of cancer by 35 percentBy Jonathan Landsman, January 26 2016
(NaturalNews) Medical imaging technology has provided physicians with a nonsurgical method for discovering, diagnosing and monitoring injuries and diseases. Rather than a hospital stay and invasive procedure, patients can undergo a CT scan with little discomfort or down time.
But now research is starting to reveal that those very diagnostic tools that helped patients avoid the risks of surgery are bringing with them an even greater health risk. Studies have found that CT scans, also known as CAT...
 Why are HIV carriers with no symptoms considered criminals, while Ebola carriers with no symptoms are called 'virus-free'?By Ethan A. Huff, January 26 2016
(NaturalNews) If Ebola really is as dangerous as the mainstream media continues to claim it is, then why are possible Ebola carriers like nurse Kaci Hickox being treated as "virus-free" while HIV carriers continue to be prosecuted as criminals?
In case you weren't aware, individuals diagnosed as HIV-positive -- that is, people who show signs of HIV antibodies -- can be prosecuted for infecting others with the virus, even if transmission was accidental.
Many an HIV-positive individual has served...
