 Ethanol myth shattered: Corn biofuels release more greenhouse gases than gasolineBy David Gutierrez, May 12 2014
(NaturalNews) Corn-derived biofuels release even more greenhouse gases than conventional gasoline, according to a study published in Nature Climate Change on April 20.
The $500,000 study, which was funded by the federal government, is expected to be a setback for the Obama administration's plan to promote such biofuels as a way to meet renewable energy targets set in a 2007 energy law.
The law originally set a target of 1.75 billion gallons of cellulosic biofuel production for 2014, and the...
 4 major screw ups with your sun exposure and how to correct themBy Derek Henry, May 12 2014
(NaturalNews) The sun is a major healing force and is responsible for sustaining life on this planet. However, in recent years it is more recognized for its damaging effects than how it can positively affect someone's health. This is due to an improper relationship with the sun, however, with some slight adjustments that healing power can be recaptured.
Acclimation and exposureThere is a tendency to overdo it when exposing the body to the suns rays, and the result is often a skin damaging sunburn...
 Aggressive prostate cancer caused by vitamin D deficiency, scientists now declareBy Ethan A. Huff, May 12 2014

 Court rules that having facial acne while driving constitutes probable cause for police to detain youBy J. D. Heyes, May 12 2014
(NaturalNews) A federal appeals court has recently ruled that driving a vehicle with your hands at the "ten and two" position is reason enough for police to pull you over, even if no traffic laws have been violated.
Additionally, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit ruled, a driver having facial acne is sufficient enough "evidence" for police and federal agents to suspect him of being a drug smuggler.
According to the website Police State USA, the ruling stems from an incident which...
 Chocolate production begins by harvesting, fermenting, drying and then roasting the pods of the cacao treeBy David Gutierrez, May 12 2014
(NaturalNews) Chocolate is made not, strictly speaking, from the seeds of the cacao tree but from the entire seed pod. To make chocolate, the pods are broken open and the mix of seeds and mucilaginous pulp within is left in the sun for several days to ferment.
Wild yeast partially digests the cell walls of the beans and causes them to heat up, killing the embryo and guaranteeing that the beans will not sprout. Even more importantly, the fermentation step produces the characteristic chocolate flavor...
 The greatest health conspiracy of all time: making you believe you can't heal without medical interventionBy Mike Adams, May 11 2014
(NaturalNews) The newest episode of "Awakenings" reveals what I call the greatest health conspiracy of all time: the institutionalized effort prevent you from realizing that you are born with all the programming you need to create perfect health and even heal yourself of deadly disease.
Even though this universal, fundamental truth is undeniable, nearly every modern institution of medicine, food, science and media tries to convince you that we're all born as "defects" requiring medical intervention...
 Science proves that avoiding sunshine doubles your risk of deathBy Jonathan Benson, May 11 2014
(NaturalNews) The merits of regular sun exposure for optimal health have been reiterated by one of the most comprehensive studies yet to look at the connection between vitamin D and early mortality.

Dietary fiber, or roughage, occurs in two separate forms: soluble and insoluble. Insoluble fiber cannot be digested by the body, but still...
 The amazing health benefits of okraBy Michael Ravensthorpe, May 11 2014
(NaturalNews) Okra, also called gumbo or lady's finger, is a tall, flowering plant that is cultivated in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions around the world. It has been prized for centuries for its edible green pods, which transform into a thick, gooey mucilage once cooked. However, many cultures like to cook okra pods with acidic ingredients, such as lemon juice, which reduces their mucilage and makes them suitable for drier vegetable dishes.
Although not as well-known as other supergreens...
 Europe's ocean depths and seafloor found littered with trashBy PF Louis, May 11 2014
(NaturalNews) "What you see is what you get" doesn't apply to how we view the ocean. The only litter one can observe is what's on the surface. Unfortunately, the ocean's surface covers a vast underwater topography at great depths that rivals the earth's surface.
And it's where the ocean surface trash is collected, making it look as though it were never where eyes once saw. Thus the illusion of ocean purity is maintained.
Modern marine exploration advances and computer technology enable this...

 French fried pesticide and the upcoming GMO potatoBy S. D. Wells, May 10 2014
(NaturalNews) Health enthusiasts all talk about the dangers of consuming genetically modified corn, soy, canola, cottonseed oil and sugar beets (MSG), but what about GM potatoes? Surely fast food French fries aren't just cooked in genetically mutated, hydrogenated oils but come from potatoes that are bred to resist blight fungus and other field "pests" right? Corporate America never leaves a stone unturned when it comes to saving money and investing in chronic sick care at the same time, so why would...
 Technology breakthrough creates jet fuel out of thin air using solar powerBy David Gutierrez, May 10 2014

 Losing weight can significantly improve vitamin D levels in obese womenBy L.J. Devon, Staff Writer, May 10 2014
(NaturalNews) It's known in the health community that obesity increases one's risk of getting cancer, heart disease and diabetes, but there is more to the story than just weight gain. In fact, in a new study, blood samples of most obese individuals (70 percent) showed low vitamin D levels. That correlation is significant, since vitamin D is a fat-soluble nutrient.
Vitamin D goes underutilized in obese individuals, because it can become "trapped" in their fat stores. This limits the essential nutrient...
 Selective climate alarmism of White House ignores imminent threats of EMP attack, debt collapse and Fukushima catastropheBy Mike Adams, May 9 2014
(NaturalNews) The White House alarmism over global warming / climate change / "climate disruption" would be a lot more believable if it weren't so contrived. Of all the legitimate, imminent threats facing the continuity of the American way of life with its cheap money, cheap imports, cheap electricity, cheap fuel and cheap food, the Obama Administration selectively chooses to acknowledge none of them. The only one you're supposed to notice is "climate disruption," a loony new reframe of reality that...

 Curious mental habit scientifically linked to depressionBy Mike Bundrant, May 9 2014
(NaturalNews) It turns out that people suffering with depression engage in an unconscious habit that prevents them from feeling the positive emotions that are available to them every day.
A new study conducted by KU Leuven has shown people in a depression (the volunteers for this study were postpartum women) experience normal potential for positive emotions. However, when positive emotions were felt, they were suppressed.
The research concluded that suppressing positive emotions may play a...
 Study shows stress levels can increase just by observing others in stressful situationsBy Antonia, May 9 2014
