Those with a vitamin C deficiency may experience a variety of symptoms ranging from fatigue and weight loss to bruising easier and having...
 Dogs happier to EARN rewards rather than receive handoutsBy J. D. Heyes, June 20 2014
(NaturalNews) When humans finally solve what they perceive individually as a particularly difficult problem, that is often referred to as the "eureka moment." New research now suggests that humans are not the only creatures to experience this feeling. Dogs, too, gain some pleasure from solving difficult problems.
Britain's Daily Mail reports that, in a series of experiments, researchers discovered that dogs become happier when they earn a reward by performing a task instead of just being handed...
 Fortune 500 company discriminates against homeschoolers, refuses to hire smartest kids in AmericaBy J. D. Heyes, June 20 2014
(NaturalNews) The federal government has long monopolized public education, and the latest effort to tighten that monopoly is a set of standards called "Common Core." The term "standard" in government parlance is, as you know, synonymous with "control" and the other favorite of authoritarians, "conformity."
But as crony capitalism binds government and big business more and more every year, now even "private sector" employers are beginning to resemble in behavior the government masterminds they...

 Leftist climate change 'hero' Chris Hedges caught in plagiarism rowBy J. D. Heyes, June 20 2014
(NaturalNews) Four years ago, in early 2010, the editors at Harper's Magazine began the process of editing a long manuscript written by Chris Hedges, a former reporter for The New York Times. In the piece, Hedges focused on one of the most downtrodden cities in the country, Camden, New Jersey. Theodore Ross, Hedges' editor at Harper's, was happy with the piece's content: "I thought it was a great story about a topic--poverty--that nobody covers enough."

 Surprising reasons behind dehydration, best food sources with high water contentBy Antonia, June 20 2014
(NaturalNews) Staying hydrated by having the proper amounts of fluids on a daily basis is essential for the body, as the body loses fluids in ways that many may not be aware of. For example, according the Mayo Clinic, "Every day you lose water through your breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements. For your body to function properly, you must replenish its water supply by consuming beverages and foods that contain water (1)."
It's not uncommon for people to overlook the fact that water is...
 Low vitamin D levels increase risk of early death for 66 percent of AmericansBy Julie Wilson , June 20 2014

 Biotech, chemical conglomerates retaliate against the people of Hawaii for daring to restrict GMO field experimentsBy J. D. Heyes, June 12 2014
(NaturalNews) The state of Hawaii has become the new battleground in the controversy regarding GMO crops and pesticides, according to a watchdog organization that monitors the industry.
With the crop seed industry -- conventional as well as genetically modified crops -- reaping some $146.3 million a year in sales from Hawaii-based farming activity, out-of-state pesticide and biotech firms like Monsanto, Syntenta, DuPont Pioneer, Dow Chemical, BASF and Bayer CropScience "have brought substantial...
 Does your peanut butter contain poison? How to identify hidden trans fats in popular brandsBy Aurora Geib, June 19 2014
(NaturalNews) Consider the lowly peanut. Almost any way you look at them -- unless you're allergic -- peanuts are a near-perfect food. They come straight from Mother Nature already wrapped in a handy, no-mess, biodegradable package. They're easy to carry, easy to store. They're also incredibly versatile. Peanuts can be enjoyed raw, for instance, if you like their green, slightly pea-like flavor. They're also good oven-roasted with just a touch of sea salt. They can even be marinated in lemon juice...

(NaturalNews) There are many elements that are useful to the proper functioning of the body, but mercury is not one of them.

 Monarch butterfly decline being caused by GMO agricultureBy Julie Wilson , June 19 2014
(NaturalNews) Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and pesticide-drenched fields are detrimental to the planet in just about every aspect. They're deteriorating human health, stifling plant diversity, inflicting soil damage, encouraging growth of superbugs and superweeds and, in some cases, eliminating planet species entirely.
Milkweed, a perennial herb that's native to Southern Canada, has seen an enormous decline over the past several years. A study led by Tyler Flockhart, a postdoctoral researcher...
 Pope Francis joins effort to warn world about impending global economic collapseBy J. D. Heyes, June 19 2014
(NaturalNews) The majority of the world's people are not Catholic, and many are not religious in any manner whatsoever, but no serious observer would consider Pope Francis a conspiracy theorist or a "doomsayer."
And yet, in a new message to the masses, the pontiff is making observations that have been made for at least the past couple of years by other observers of the global economy who have been derided as conspiracy theorists: Things are not good, and in fact, they are looking more dire by...
 Question: what is trisodium phosphate and what is it doing in our food?By Zach C. Miller, June 19 2014
(NaturalNews) Certain working professionals, such as carpenters and painters, might know what trisodium phosphate (TSP) is. They'd know that TSP is an industrial cleaning agent used for paint prep work, as a degreasing agent, as a mildew remover, siding cleaner and lead abating agent. However, what these working pros wouldn't expect is for TSP to be in their breakfast, lunch, and toothpaste!
TSP used for industrial cleaning comes with first aid warnings on it due to the compound's extreme alkalinity...
 Why is Obama concerned about mercury in coal power plants but not in vaccines?By Ethan A. Huff, June 4 2014
(NaturalNews) The Obama administration's war on carbon is advancing the battle lines to coal production, with a new proposal by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to attain a 30 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from energy production by 2030.

 Cell phone radiation - is your cell phone killing your sperm?By Lloyd Burrell, June 19 2014
(NaturalNews) Storing your cellphone in your pants pocket might be killing your sperm, and it might also explain the global drop in sperm count due to exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic radiation emitted by your cellphone, a new study suggests.
Researchers at the University of Exeter in the UK found a small but consistent drop in sperm quality in men's sperm that had been exposed to cell phone radiation. This finding could throw some light into understanding the global drop in sperm...
 Media blackout of Iraqi war dead is striking double standard aimed at shielding ObamaBy J. D. Heyes, June 19 2014
(NaturalNews) Left-wing reporters and editors dominate American news media, and that's a fact not even worth debating any longer. And while that in and of itself may not be a big deal to most people, it is, in fact, important because it makes the news and views we get completely slanted.
There are a few outlets that can be considered right-leaning, for sure, but they are outnumbered 3-to-1 by institutional media like The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, The...
 Why Walmart and Costco shrimp prices are so low - and why you should never buy from them againBy S. D. Wells, June 19 2014
(NaturalNews) Some of the most popular American corporations are importing shrimp at super-cheap prices from Thailand, where migrant workers are in slavery, like in Nazi Germany, being tortured while they work for no pay 20 hours a day. How much shrimp is being imported that's processed by slaves, including child slaves? Walmart and Costco are contributing to the chaos, buying and selling shrimp exported from Thailand every year, and it's slave-labor shrimp at "rock bottom" cost. No wonder Walmart...

(NaturalNews) A new report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reveals a shocking fact about the current state of public health in the U.S.: nearly 10 percent of Americans now have diabetes. Roughly 30 million people, it turns out -- 8 million-or-so of whom have yet to be diagnosed -- currently suffer from some form of the disease, says the agency, and the bulk of these folks are 20 years of age or older.

 Healthy, natural tips to fight dandruffBy Antonia, June 19 2014
(NaturalNews) While jokes about snowy shoulders abound, laughter about their dry scalp is often the last thing people with dandruff think about. An itchy scalp, coupled with the embarrassing frustrations of having their clothing often covered in the noticeable white flakes of dead skin, is a bothersome condition. Yet, it's a common occurrence. In fact, Dr. Seema Hirji, who is a dermatologist, estimates that about half of the world's population will suffer from dandruff at some point in their lifetime...
 Senator who attacked Doctor Oz over dietary supplements received over $146,000 in campaign contributions from Big Pharma mega-retailer and MonsantoBy Mike Adams, June 18 2014
(NaturalNews) The pieces of the puzzle are finally coming together on U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill's bizarre attack aimed at Doctor Oz. In a scathing Senate hearing exchange, Sen. McCaskill all but accused Doctor Oz of peddling quack weight loss products -- even though Oz actually runs a very meticulous, science-based operation where dietary supplements are heavily researched before being recommended to the public.
Now Natural News has learned that Sen. McCaskill received over $146,000 in campaign...

The move has shocked almost everyone, because the football...
 Whole Foods sued over false 'all natural' claim on baked goodsBy L.J. Devon, Staff Writer, June 18 2014
(NaturalNews) The term all natural can easily be a rip-off slogan, slapped onto products posing to be all about consumer's health. Consumers are easily hoodwinked into paying extra for a product that is advertised as "all natural."
Also, just because a product has a "natural" ingredient, doesn't necessarily mean that that ingredient is safe, clean or healthy. Vitamin supplements may be sourced from indigestible isolates. Some herbal supplements, like Ginkgo biloba products from Starwest and Frontier...

(NaturalNews) DuPont, the maker of the Pioneer brand of genetically modified corn, has been sued by an investment fund over claims that company managers promoted herbicide-resistant crop traits that they were aware did not work.
The suit was filed by the Ironworkers District Council of Philadelphia and Vicinity Retirement and Pension Plan. The plaintiffs contend that both past and present directors at DuPont wasted corporate assets while fraudulently promoting a specific gene trait known as GAT...
 Could this be the answer to California's drought?By Alex Du Toit, Earthie Mama, June 18 2014
(NaturalNews) California is facing one of its worst droughts in recorded history. Farmers all over California, of both meat and plants, are seeing crop failures in epic numbers. What if there was a method, a closed-water-cycle system that could change all of that?
There is... and its called aquaponics.
In its most basic essence, aquaponics is using live fish (waste) to grow plants and vegetables in a recyclable water system. Aquaponics is a symbiotic combination of hydroponics (growing plants...
 Bad breath cures revealed: Top 7 ways to overcome severe halitosis for goodBy Aurora Geib, June 18 2014
(NaturalNews) "Let not the breath of your mouth be sour and unpleasing, nor... offend the nose." Sound like something you might say to a spouse, friend or coworker? Actually, that sentiment was written more than 2,000 years ago by the Greek poet Ovid, clearly demonstrating that the offensive odor of bad breath has been a problem plaguing humankind for quite some time.
Pretty much everyone has dealt with bad breath, or halitosis, at some point in their lives, but that doesn't mean that we have...
 Austin Powers star 'Mini-Me' butt-searched by TSA goonsBy J. D. Heyes, June 18 2014
(NaturalNews) If you're an Austin Powers fan, you will recognize him as the pint-sized actor who played "Mini-Me." His real name is Verne Troyer, and he's the latest high-profile American to be victimized by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
As reported by the New York Daily News, it is a sure bet that Troyer wasn't saying, "Yeah, baby!" when he was rather thoroughly searched -- including his buttocks region -- by a TSA agent.
Troyer shared a photo of his invasive search on...
 Acupuncture: From quack science to proven medical treatmentBy Derek Henry, June 18 2014
(NaturalNews) There are many alternative treatments that have been considered (and still are) as quack medicine by the all-seeing and all-knowing conventional medical model. However, as science and results began to prove their legitimacy, conventional wisdom was forced to acknowledge their efficacy. Acupuncture needles are one of those treatments that have gone from quack science to proven medical device, and scores of people are now experiencing its benefits.

According to The Telegraph, the plant had been dumping toxic untreated waste into the region's air and water supply, sickening...
 80% of what you buy at the grocery store is wrapped in toxic packaging; new store in Germany to eliminate all wasteBy J. D. Heyes, June 18 2014
(NaturalNews) It is a concept that has a long way to go before it gains wide acceptance in the U.S. and throughout the West, but it is nonetheless a reality now in Germany: The country has seen the opening of its first waste-free supermarket.
And by waste-free, that mostly means "packaging-free."
According to the store's website, the store bills itself as "Original Unpacked," priding itself as a retailer whose products do not come in disposable packing.

 Smart meters really do spy on your use of appliances, industry admitsBy J. D. Heyes, June 18 2014
(NaturalNews) For years, anyone who suggested that the new electronic, Wi-Fi-capable "smart" electricity meters were devices that could be used to snoop on the unsuspecting public was labeled a crazy conspiracy nut. But, as is often the case, those people weren't off their rockers; they were prophetic.
Further, this technology is actually being celebrated by people who think that the technology is "cool." They obviously don't understand that it's just another nail in the coffin of the Fourth Amendment...

(NaturalNews) In trying times, such as during the proliferation of toxins affecting our food, air and infrastructure (GMOs, wireless electromagnetic frequencies, etc.) like now, it is good to know that there are foods that have been used for centuries to refresh and renew the spirit and reduce stress that we can turn to. It has been said that "man does not live by bread alone." Sometimes we need more than just the basics, especially these days, and certain foods, spices and herbs can offer us spiritual...
 Obama administration creating massive humanitarian crisis by openly encouraging wave of illegal immigrationBy J. D. Heyes, June 11 2014
(NaturalNews) Lawmakers are quoting a little-noticed federal court ruling in December as evidence that a so-called "catch and release" immigration policy put forth by the Obama administration is primarily behind the current flood of illegal immigrants to the U.S. from south of the border.
One lawmaker, in an interview with Britain's Daily Mail, said that U.S. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen, in his ruling late last year, called out the administration for aiding and abetting felonies. In addition...

 Sen. McCaskill unleashes Orwellian thought crimes attack on Doctor Oz for trying to help Americans overcome obesityBy Mike Adams, June 18 2014
(NaturalNews) I find it very telling that in a nation where almost half the adult population is overweight or obese, U.S. Senators would waste time unleashing an Orwellian "thought crimes" attack against Doctor Oz over his advocacy of natural weight loss supplements. Apparently, the idea that a national health TV personality might actually seek to help the American people get healthier with supplements, not drugs, is simply intolerable in the U.S. capitol.
Today, U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D...
 U.S. food prices rising 367% faster than inflation; chemical agriculture headed for catastrophic failureBy Mike Adams, June 17 2014
(NaturalNews) Food prices are now skyrocketing across the USA, says the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Their most recent report (1) reveals that prices of meat, poultry, fish and eggs leaped 7.7 percent over the last year. That's nearly 367% higher than the official 2.1% inflation rate claimed by the federal government. (2)
Prices on these food items have risen 664% in the last five decades, according to the BLS, but much of the price acceleration has happened in just the last few years......
 Flu virus recreated in a lab could unleash new deadly pandemic rivaling 1918 Spanish fluBy J. D. Heyes, June 17 2014
(NaturalNews) There is a famous picture from 1918, during which time the U.S. (and the world) was under assault from a flu pandemic. It shows row after row of bedridden soldiers, and it resembles an optical illusion, like a double-mirror effect. It is a stirring image to accompany world-changing events that began in January 1918 and quickly engulfed the planet.
As noted by The Washington Post, there is little about the Spanish flu -- a virus that ultimately affected one-third of all people on...
 Five reasons why Roundup should be banned foreverBy Jonathan Benson, June 9 2014
(NaturalNews) The science is irrefutable on this simple fact: Roundup weedkiller, manufactured by Monsanto, is a deadly chemical poison that persists on -- and in -- the food crops consumed by millions of people. And the many consequences of Roundup's continued use in commercial agriculture are reason enough, at least to any rationally minded individual, to ban the toxic chemical cocktail forever for the sake of the environment and humanity.
These are strong words, but they are fully substantiated...

 The rainforests: The answer to cancer and other debilitating diseases?By Derek Henry, June 17 2014
(NaturalNews) Rainforest plants are complex chemical storehouses that contain many undiscovered biodynamic compounds with unrealized potential for use in modern medicine. The healing ability of those that have been discovered is potentially unrivaled, and the race is on between natural product companies, cancer researchers, executives of the world's largest drug companies and native indigenous shamans to harvest them for their benefit. So are rainforests the answer to cancer and other debilitating...

The Boston Globe and other papers reported that the change of heart by DCF came after the agency removed its longstanding opposition to sending Justina back home, saying that her parents, Lou and Linda Pelletier -- who have been fighting to have their...
 Millions of animals are intentionally killed each year by US Wildlife ServicesBy J. D. Heyes, June 17 2014
(NaturalNews) In 2013, the US Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services killed more than 4 million animals, an ironic twist of fate for an agency that is supposedly charged with preserving and protecting the country's wildlife.
The Washington Post reports, the massive toll of wild animals exterminated by the government -- as a service to everything from ranches to airports -- has gone up and down, but last year, the figures were up again:
