-(Natural News) Antioxidants offer an alternative way of preventing the growth and spread of cancer. In particular, N-acetylcysteine (NAC) presents a powerful solution to combat the disease. In 2018, more than 1.7 million new cases of cancer were reported in the U.S. That number is expected to go up in the coming year despite billions of […]

-(Natural News) Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that you can’t see, smell or taste. An article by The University of Toledo College of Engineering explains that radon is a “by-product of the radioactive decay of another element, uranium.” Radon exists in most rocks, sediment and soil throughout the earth. Because uranium is in a constant state of decay, […]

-(Natural News) A Canadian research team announced that it has found the reason for the appearance of pulmonary fibrosis in a number of lung cancer patients who underwent thoracic radiotherapy. They found a connection between genes on a certain chromosome and the development of lung injuries triggered by radiation. The researchers were investigating chromosome 6, one of the 23 pairs […]

-(Natural News) There are now at least 34 countries, and the same number of states in the U.S., where the use of cannabis or cannabis-derived products is approved for treating symptoms of various diseases. Europe leads the way with 28 countries. The U.S.A., on the other hand, has yet to approve it at the federal […]

-(Natural News) Vitamin D levels among Canadian children did not show any improvement despite a 2010 revision in the country’s dietary guidelines recommending higher nutrient intake, a study revealed. As part of the study, the researchers pooled data from the Cycle 1 and Cycle 3 series of the Canadian Health Measure Survey, which were taken from 2007 to […]

-(Natural News) Deadly lung cancers were found to be the result of multiple genetic changes, according to a study led by researchers from the University of San Francisco (UCSF). The UCSF team’s findings imply that new first-line combination therapies are necessary to treat the full array of mutations that can worsen a patient’s cancer and thwart drug resistance. Trever […]

-(Natural News) Since ancient times, people from certain locations such as Africa and Asia have customarily chewed areca (betel) nuts to strengthen community ties. According to a study, the areca nut, which comes from the areca palm (Areca catechu), may also possess anti-cancer properties. The study, which used mice models to test the anti-cancer properties of […]

-(Natural News) Proper nutrition has long been implicated in maintaining good health. However, few researchers are putting their efforts on looking at the health benefits of natural substances since these won’t rake in as much money as products that can be produced exclusively. Fortunately, there are still some studies looking at how specific nutrients can […]

-(Natural News) Smoking wreaks genetic damage to different organs of the body and causes mutations in the DNA. Researchers at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and the Los Alamos National Laboratory, as well as King’s College London, said that on average, smokers accumulate at least 150 extra mutations in every lung cell for each year […]
