by Sayer Ji A new study published in Letters in Applied Microbiology shows that a commonly used food probiotic known as Lactobacillus plantarum is capable of degrading dangerous pesticide residues in wheat (pirimiphos-methyl), confirming the traditional fermentation-based food-processing technique known as culturing can significantly improve…
By Case Adams There are three natural catastrophes occurring within nature in slow motion at the moment and they are our fault. All three catastrophes stem from the same kind of mistake made by human science and corporate greed. What are they and what are…
By NIAID/NIH By Jonathan Parker A cure for cancer. Words that, for many people, hover in the grey area between fantasy and ambitious dreams. Billions of dollars are spent each year on theories, new treatments and new disappointments. The painful road to recovery has many affected…
by Joe Martino Hemp has been making a lot of noise lately, especially with the growing awareness surrounding the use of hemp oil for treating cancer. Although the word ‘hemp’ still often gets confused and lumped into the same definition as Cannabis, a similar but…
by Alex Pietrowski In what may be the single largest mass bumblebee die-off on record, some 50,000 plus bees were recently found littering the parking lot of a Target store in Wilsonville, Oregon recently after a landscaping company sprayed surrounding trees with the insecticide Safari….
By Mae Chan A raft of industry and academic experts have slammed the publication of a recent study claiming to ‘confirm’ a link between long-chain omega-3s and an increased risk of prostate cancer – arguing that the authors conclusions are overblown and have caused widespread…
By Heather Callaghan The UK, like the U.S., is concerned by a baffling increase in heavy prescription drugs like Ritalin and psychotropics apparently given to children diagnosed with ADHD* as young as three – although guidelines condemn its use for children under age six. Medical…
by Sayer Ji How much longer will we deny the growing body of research linking Roundup to infertility before calling this chemical a contraceptive? Following closely on the heels of the EPA’s decision to allow Roundup herbicide residues in your food at concentrations a million times…
By Heather Callaghan Imagine you own and run an all-natural sweetener factory. You walk into work and all the employees are sprawled out dead – on the floors, over railings, in the vats. They’ve been gassed; poisoned. Your immune system is slightly stronger so you…
by Catherine J. Frompovich An interview with Stephanie Seneff, PhD: Co-author of “Glyphosate’s Suppression of Cytochrome P450 Enzymes and Amino Acid Biosynthesis by the Gut Microbiome: Pathways to Modern Diseases.” In April 2013, independent scientist Anthony Samsel and MIT scientist Stephanie Seneff published their mega…
by Sayer Ji In a breaking development, the FBI confirms that 1,500 GM Sugar Beet plants were destroyed this month in Oregon, in what they are calling an act of “Economic Sabotage.” When GM pollen blows into a non-GM farmer’s fields and irreversibly contaminates his…
By Lee Bechtel NHF National Lobbyist The acronym GMO usually refers to Genetically Modified Organizations. In this case, there is a direct connection with Monsanto, Dupont, and other large biotech companies that produce genetically engineered seeds, which grow into GMO crops, and find their way…
By Natasha Longo Scientists have now successfully introduced human genes into 300 dairy cows in a bid to produce a cow milk alternative to human breast milk. The biotech company has high hopes that genetically modified dairy products from herds of similar cows could be…
By Sayer Ji An alarming new study finds that glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup weedkiller, is estrogenic and drives breast cancer cell proliferation in the parts-per-trillion range. Does this help explain the massive mammary tumors that the only long term animal feeding study on…
By Heather Callaghan A study released last Monday shows that cheaper honey substitutes such as high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and sugar (made from genetically modified sugar beets) are contributing to massive bee death via Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) by depriving bees of crucial nutrients,…
By Brandon Turbeville In my article, “Pesticide Content In Food Less Regulated By Codex Than Vitamins and Minerals,” I briefly discussed the connection between commonly used pesticides and neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s Disease. In addition, I mentioned the rather contradictory position held regarding the…
By Natural Blaze Fresh off global protests against Monsanto, the Connecticut House and Senate agreed on a bill to label genetically modified foods. “There is mounting scientific evidence showing that genetically modified foods are harmful to our health,” said Senate President Donald E. Williams (D-Brooklyn). “There’s…
by Daisy Luther North America needs to take note: Europe has defeated the biotech giant by refusing to be contaminated with Monsanto’s GMO offerings and toxic farming methods. Monsanto announced that they will no longer continue to lobby for approval of its genetically modified seeds…
By Jonathan Parker It’s no secret to most people that our environment pays a price for human expansion and ingenuity. To the credit of most, we take our concern to the next level. Many people, even in small ways, take steps to be conscientious about their interaction…
By Natural Blaze Super aggressive mutant animals dominating the wild is not science fiction anymore. Canadian scientists have determined that if genetically modified salmon get into the wild, they will breed with wild fish and pass on their modified genes. The study also showed that…
