 More New York schools ditch Michelle Obama's totalitarian school lunch schemeBy Jonathan Benson, September 12 2014
(NaturalNews) Forget what Michelle Obama has to say about nutrition -- we're going back to the old ways. This is what two more school districts in New York recently decided after witnessing major financial losses and starving students who simply can't stomach the First Dictator's obtuse guidelines for "healthy" school lunches, the latest in a growing movement of resistance against the oppressive new food guidelines.
The school districts of Fayetteville-Manlius and Baldwinsville both scrapped the...
 How Harvard University secretly funds a giant, questionably legal payday loan schemeBy J. D. Heyes, September 12 2014
(NaturalNews) Just because Harvard University is an Ivy League school does not mean that all of its officials and administrators have Ivy League scruples.
According to a report by Bloomberg News, private equity fund manager and technology financier Alex Slusky came under pressure some years ago to put to work the $1.2 billion he had raised to rescue struggling software companies.
By 2012, however, a number of investors -- which included Harvard -- were antsy and upset that about half the money...
 Maine to allow companies to put carcinogenic formaldehyde in products without informing publicBy Julie Wilson staff writer, September 12 2014
(NaturalNews) The U.S. government's failure to update the antiquated Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 has forced states to spearhead their own policies regarding chemical safety laws.
Over the last decade, 18 states have passed more than 70 laws creating new chemical management programs intended to protect and educate the public regarding harmful chemicals, according to HealthyStuff.org.
In 2008, Maine passed The Kid's Safe Products Act, nearly unanimously, which requires manufacturers...
 High melanoma risk found in airline crews exposed to high-altitude radiationBy L.J. Devon, Staff Writer, September 12 2014

 Sunburn: the indirect effects of severe UV radiationBy J. Anderson, September 12 2014
(NaturalNews) With summer here, many of us are getting ready for beach vacations and the inherent sunburns that usually accompany these trips. Sunburn, which is caused by UV radiation, can lead to melanoma. Melanoma can cause metastases to form (malignant tumors spread from the original source) in our vital organs such as the liver, lungs, and brain. UV radiation can cause melanoma by directly altering the genomes of pigment cells, but there is an indirect effect that may have been overlooked. A...

 Down Syndrome babies should be killed, urges top scientistBy L.J. Devon, Staff Writer, September 8 2014
(NaturalNews) Top scientist Richard Dawkins isn't interested in protecting life on Earth. He's only interested in protecting a planet full of people that he approves of. To him, Down syndrome babies have no importance in the world and should be terminated before they take their first breath. With the right prenatal testing, Dawkins believes that Down syndrome can be detected early, and the baby can be discarded as medical waste so they won't waste any space on planet Earth. In a way, Dawkins is like...

 Global Warming - man made or nature? Does it matter?By Kali Sinclair, September 11 2014
(NaturalNews) A few years ago it wasn't in vogue to believe that we mere mortals were contributing to global warming. The majority of scientists said no and Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth was...inconvenient. Now the tide has turned and scientists are pretty much lined up behind the idea that humans are causing the icebergs to melt.
Global warming is a fact. Hopefully no one denies it now. The only question is, why? Is global warming caused by humanity? Are our carbon emissions to blame? Does it...

 Martial law: Sierra Leone orders citizens to stay confined to homes for three days to combat Ebola spreadBy J. D. Heyes, September 8 2014
(NaturalNews) Increasingly, as the Ebola virus continues to spread and kill, authorities in Africa are becoming more authoritarian in their attempts to contain the deadly disease -- steps that look eerily similar to those imposed on Americans in the days following the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing and which could be imposed again were Ebola to make it to the U.S.
In Sierra Leone, authorities recently ordered people to remain inside their homes for three days later this month, ostensibly in a bid...

 Which causes cancer more quickly: cigarettes, diet soda or GMOs?By S. D. Wells, September 9 2014
(NaturalNews) Some people believe that regularly smoking the 7,000 chemicals in commercial cigarettes is the quickest way to get cancer in the world. Other folks believe that artificial sweeteners, because they taste so sweet, trick the body into ingesting them and are the "Trojan horses" of the food industry, causing breast cancer and prostate cancer faster than any other food, drink or consumable chemical-laced product on the market. But then again, there's GMOs. Genetically modified organisms...
