(Natural News) Our ability to smell is perhaps the least developed among all our senses. Evolutionary scientists claim that despite the weak olfactory receptors our species has, it is one of the more important ones. Smell alerts us to potential danger, helps us find the right mate, and aids in food gathering and hunting. More […]

(Natural News) Spider webs are known to be among the strongest natural materials known to man. For example, the webs of a type of spider found in Papua New Guinea are so strong that fishermen use them as handheld fishing nets. Additionally, in 2010, scientists discovered that the web of a species of orb weaver […]

(Natural News) Curbing the use of fossil fuels is often singled out as the best way to tackle climate change, but a new study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters shows that the problem of deforestation should not be overlooked as it contributes far more to climate change than once believed. The new paper, […]

(Natural News) The first experience I had with “purple” potatoes was earlier this summer when my bride and I had several Army buddies over for a social gathering, and one of our guests brought a multi-colored potato salad as her contribution to the food table. I was flabbergasted, as was my friend’s hubby, who told […]

(Natural News) Researchers at the University of St Andrews in Scotland have observed that two chimpanzee communities in the Budongo Forest in Uganda have vastly different ways of hunting and sharing the meat of the prey that they hunted. The scientists concluded that the difference in hunting styles has something to do with the presence or […]

(Natural News) One of today’s cultural fads is transgenderism, and while the discredited “mainstream” media and entertainment industry would like for you to believe that it’s just a natural biological process people are born with and not a “choice,” the physiological facts say otherwise. As reported by Science Daily, researchers have recently identified thousands of […]

(Natural News) Scientists are finally beginning to uncover some of the chemical mechanisms underlying the powerful medical benefits of marijuana and its cannabinoid compounds. The breakthrough came with the discovery of the body’s endocannabinoid system, a biological system based around signaling molecules highly similar to many of the phytocannabinoid (plant-based cannabinoid) compounds found in marijuana […]

(Natural News) When most people think of appendicitis, they also think of appendectomy — or the removal of the appendix. For years, removing the tiny organ has been something of a standard procedure in the treatment of appendicitis. But new research shows that surgery is often not necessary. Appendicitis is characterized by abdominal pain, primarily […]

(Natural News) Leave it to Big Pharma to find a way to turn a natural, effective, plant-based healing substance into something patentable and deadly. That’s right; the guys in the pharmaceutical labs are so desperate to develop a drug that delivers the same therapeutic benefits as cannabis – under their own exclusive money-making patent, of […]
