 Like that skim milk? You're essentially drinking pig slopBy J. D. Heyes, February 17 2014
(NaturalNews) Americans have been conditioned to believe a great many things, especially when it comes to our diet, so suffice it to say that, when tidbits of truth seep out about some of our most common foods, especially on sites like Natural News, it can be a bit of a jolt to the psyche.
Take "skim" milk. Please.
I know, old joke. But seriously, at one time it was anything but the wholesome, lower-calorie food that it is sold as today, as excerpted from the book, Pure and Modern Milk: An...
 Studies show that cooking causes lung cancerBy Sue Woledge, February 17 2014
(NaturalNews) It is common knowledge today that smoking causes lung cancer, however there are many cases of lung cancer diagnosed in people who have never smoked in their lives. So if they've never smoked, what caused their lung cancer we might ask. Studies indicate that it could be as simple as the way they cook their food.
The undeniable link between tobacco smoking and lung cancer was demonstrated many years ago, and the dangers of smoking have been drummed into public consciousness for decades...
 New federal rule will allow patients to have direct access to their medical lab reportsBy J. D. Heyes, February 17 2014
(NaturalNews) A new federal rule to be issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will make calling your physician's office for your lab results a thing of the past.
The rule, which was first proposed by the Obama administration in 2011, will give patients direct access to their results. As reported by Kaiser Health News, the regulation "amends privacy rules under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments...
 Spiritual practice may protect your brain from depression: How to be consistentBy Mike Bundrant, February 17 2014
(NaturalNews) A new study published by JAMA Psychiatry suggests that participating in regular spiritual and religious practice may help protect against depression. Researchers believe this may be due to a thickening of the brain cortex that occurs with regular meditation or other religious and spiritual practices.
More research is necessary; however preliminary results of MRIs performed on 103 adults at varying risk for depression have shown a correlation between a thickening of the brain cortex...
 Maryland legislators introduce 'emergency' bill to cut water, electricity to NSABy Jonathan Benson, February 17 2014
(NaturalNews) The National Security Agency (NSA), which some have now dubbed the National Spying Agency, could soon be brought to its knees if an initiative launched by the freedom advocacy group Tenth Amendment Center (TAC) is successful. Members of the Maryland House of Delegates have reportedly introduced emergency legislation in their state that would cut off water, electricity and all other forms of material support to the NSA headquarters in Fort Meade.
The bill, which is part of a legislative...
 Grocery Manufacturers Association sues the state of Washington over GMO labeling fight: GMA more evil than MonsantoBy Zach C. Miller, February 17 2014
(NaturalNews) Monsanto has for years now been referred to as the most evil and hated company on the planet to those in the know. But before Monsanto, junk food companies were already peddling their wares to Americans and influencing the American diet. Junk food companies are represented by a single entity called the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA). The GMA represents leading junk food producers such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Kraft, Kellogg's, General Mills, Nestle and Monsanto. As you might guess...
 Cafeteria manager suspended after taking away food trays from elementary kidsBy J. D. Heyes, February 17 2014
(NaturalNews) There has been an effort to make school lunches more nutritious over the past decade or so, and that's a good thing, considering the epidemic of childhood obesity that has gripped the nation. There is still a long way to go, but at least as a nation we seem to be headed in the right direction.
That said, there is nothing nutritious - or smart - about denying children lunch, yet that is precisely what one school cafeteria manager recently did at a school in Utah.
According to CNN...
 Study shows inactivity changes the brain, has harmful health consequencesBy Antonia, February 17 2014
(NaturalNews) "This is your brain . . . and this is your brain on the couch," is Dr. Patrick Mueller, associate professor of physiology at Wayne State University's approach to highlighting the detrimental effects that inactivity has on our brains and hearts.
A recent study published in the Journal of Comparative Neurology demonstrates that inactivity (not just activity, as previously thought) can change the shape of neurons in our brain, an indication that may make couch potatoes more sensitive...
 Federal court deals blow to net neutrality, threatening future of freely accessible, unbiased informationBy J. D. Heyes, February 17 2014
(NaturalNews) Whether it is being blocked by governments or whether tech companies are attempting to limit access to it, attempts to control your access to the Internet have been ongoing practically since its commercialization.
Until now, however, outside of governments (Syria and China come immediately to mind), it has been difficult to actually block users from getting online. But thanks to a recent federal court ruling, it may get much easier for tech companies in the U.S. and abroad to limit...
 Why pot should be decriminalized but never smoked: question your beliefs starting nowBy Mike Adams, February 17 2014
(NaturalNews) Supporting the decriminalization of pot does not mean supporting its recreational consumption. Let's be honest about pot's effects on people who smoke it regularly: first it makes them dull, then apathetic, and finally stupid. With enough repeated use, recreational pot use turns intelligent, productive people into unmotivated stoners.
That doesn't mean it should be illegal, however. And that's the point of this article: I am wholehearted in support of marijuana decriminalization...
 BMJ investigation exposes Big Pharma as conspirator in WHO pandemic flu scamBy Ethan A. Huff, February 16 2014
(NaturalNews) The World Health Organization (WHO) is the subject of a new investigation aimed at uncovering what really took place during the 2009 global influenza pandemic, which led to tens of millions of people being vaccinated for so-called "swine flu." A joint investigation by the British Medical Journal (BMJ) and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (BIJ) has already uncovered major conflicts of interest at WHO, whereby vaccine companies profited heavily from the pandemic and the mass hysteria...
 Pollen from GM soybeans threatens Mexico's honey salesBy PF Louis, February 11 2014
(NaturalNews) A large part of Mexico's agricultural export is honey. They are ranked fifth worldwide for exporting the bees' food, but recently Germany rejected a batch of honey from Mexico. Pollen from genetically modified (GM) soybean plants was found in the honey being imported.
Bee keepers in the region and agricultural authorities of the Mexican state of Campeche, one of the states in the Yucatan Peninsula at the southeastern tip of Mexico, were mystified. So a research team familiar with...
 Mammograms are more harmful than you thinkBy Reuben Chow, February 16 2014
(NaturalNews) Mammograms are widely touted as an effective breast cancer screening tool. But some research and experts suggest that it could be causing more harm than good.
Increases cancer risk In undergoing mammograms, women are exposed to radiation. And radiation, as we know, is a cause of cancer.
Dr. Russell Blaylock, an oncologist, brain surgeon, and neuroscientist, estimated that annual mammograms could raise breast cancer risk by 1 percent to 3 percent per year. According to him, "some...
 UK school expels brothers for bringing cheese crackers to school, says they violate 'healthy eating' policyBy Jonathan Benson, February 16 2014

Colnbrook C of E Primary School in Berkshire says six-year-old Riley Pearson repeatedly broke the rules by bringing cheese crackers, which the institution sees as nutritionally unbalanced, that his mother packed for him to school.
Controversy erupted after young Riley was found with the snack food multiple...
 Europe embraces healthy raw dairy by unveiling fresh milk vending machinesBy Carolanne Wright, February 16 2014
(NaturalNews) As the U.S. government continues to wage war on raw dairy products, several European countries have done just the opposite by expanding access to the food through unpasteurized milk vending machines. Taking to heart findings from current research, Europe has recognized the exceptional health benefits of raw dairy and subsequently promoted it. Compared with pasteurized and homogenized dairy, raw milk offers a wealth of nutrition - all without the drawbacks of oxidized fats, denatured...
 Military-style guerrilla raid on Silicon Valley power substation puzzles FedsBy J. D. Heyes, February 16 2014
(NaturalNews) Some say it could be just a fluke. Others say it might have been a dry run by terrorists. But nearly all analysts agree that, if it occurs on a wider scale, it could cripple the U.S. power grid.
A report by the Los Angeles Times recently said authorities are baffled by a low-tech, but highly coordinated, attack on a power substation in a remote area of California:
They came after midnight, two or more armed individuals so deft that they cut telecommunication cables in an underground...
 Is your food living or dead?By Jay Ricci, February 16 2014
(NaturalNews) Dr. George Malkmus said, "Our body is a living organism, comprised of living cells that were designed by God to be nourished exclusively with living (raw) plant-sourced foods." Is the majority of the food you eat on a daily basis living or dead? Maybe you never thought to put your food into one of those two categories but it may help you in your quest to avoid serious health problems now and in the future.
Is the majority of the food you consume in its raw natural state or has it...
 Rhode Island could be next state to legalize potBy J. D. Heyes, February 16 2014
(NaturalNews) Following a growing trend across the country, Rhode Island could be the next state to legalize marijuana for recreational use, if legislation recently proposed is passed and signed into law by the governor.
A bill introduced by state Sen. Joshua Miller and state Rep. Edith Ajello, both Democrats, called the Marijuana Regulation, Control and Taxation Act would make Rhode Island the third state behind Colorado and Washington to legalize the drug - which remains illegal under federal...
 North Carolina warns residents to avoid water and fish from contaminated Dan RiverBy L.J. Devon, Staff Writer, February 15 2014
(NaturalNews) North Carolina has beautiful countryside, with the Appalachian mountains rolling through its western lands. A nice sprawl of rivers work their way through the state. Near the northern border winds Dan River. Once a serene river to fish from and an excellent source of fresh water, it has now become clouded with pollution from a catastrophic Duke Energy coal-ash spill.
Residents warned not to touch Dan River for miles, as thousands of tons of coal ash billow into the waterThe North...
 Tom Brokaw announces he has cancer; Doctors call it 'incurable,' despite natural curesBy Jonathan Benson, February 15 2014
(NaturalNews) It was recently announced that former NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw has multiple myeloma, a type of bone marrow cancer that the conventional medical industry says is incurable, though treatable. And while Mr. Brokaw has since come out publicly to say that these treatments have been going smoothly, the mainstream media is insistent that the special correspondent will never be cured of his condition, despite the fact that natural cures for multiple myeloma do exist.

 Programming your ketogenic dietBy Dr. David Jockers, February 15 2014
(NaturalNews) Ketogenic diets are all the rage as they have been shown in studies to reduce inflammation, improve metabolism and enhance brain function. Many individuals do not know how to successfully enter into and maintain ketosis. Natural ketosis is an incredible physiological state that can be measured and cycled or maintained for excellent health.
Many people continue to confuse natural ketosis with the pathological ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis is due to an extreme insulin deficiency such...
 UK government can now ban smoking in cars to protect childrenBy S. D. Wells, February 15 2014
(NaturalNews) British Members of Parliament voted through a House of Lords amendment to enable the UK Health Secretary to ban smoking in cars with kids inside. Not just Wales but all of Great Britain is reeling from the decision, trying to figure out how the Government deems it "sensible" to regulate their every private decision, like whether to pollute their own lungs and have children with smelly clothes. "And thy law shall protect you from yourselves, and that will be the law of the land! And...

 Teens who use energy drinks more likely to smoke, use alcohol, take drugsBy J. D. Heyes, February 15 2014
(NaturalNews) A new study has found that energy drinks may be a sort of gateway drug to smoking, alcohol and drug use for teens.
The study, which was published in the January/February issue of the Journal of Addiction Medicine, found that nearly one-third of American teenagers drink high-caffeine energy drinks, or so-called energy "shots." These same teens also reported higher rates of alcohol, drug or cigarette usage, researchers found.
The same things that drive young people to consume energy...
 New York City douses parks with toxic Roundup hundreds of times annually: Is your city doing the same thing?By Ethan A. Huff, February 14 2014
(NaturalNews) Spring is just around the corner, which for millions of Americans will mean bursting forth from hibernation into the lush green spaces of their local public parks and recreational areas. But if your town or city is anything like New York City, playing ball or doing yoga on those crisp blades of enticing grass at the first sign of warmth could also mean inadvertently exposing yourself to unknown levels of the world's most popular and controversial herbicide, Roundup.

 Twitter, Facebook really do make people stupid, says scienceBy Julie Wilson , February 14 2014
(NaturalNews) 2014 exists in an era when technology allows us to instantaneously access vast amounts of information; however, this advancement has apparently caused our intellect to dwindle, resulting in a population of people unable to think analytically.
A recent study conducted by Dr. lyad Rahwan, an honorary at the University of Edinburgh, revealed frequenters of social network sites like Twitter and Facebook, have difficulty thinking critically and independently.
Dr. Rahwan's study consisted...
 Losing your job because of Obamacare is actually good for you, says Democrat lawmakerBy Ethan A. Huff, February 14 2014
(NaturalNews) The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has announced that the equivalent of roughly 2 million full-time American workers will vanish from the U.S. economy by 2017 as a result of Obamacare, and one Democrat lawmaker from Minnesota says this is a good thing, because "American work too much anyway."

 New hemp oil could be a powerful cooking alternativeBy J. Anderson, February 14 2014
(NaturalNews) A recently developed hemp plant may prove to provide the ideal cooking oil; watch out, olive oil. The University of York reported that they have developed a hemp plant that contains a significantly higher quantity of oleic acid. The new hemp oil not only offers a longer shelf life and a higher heat tolerance but also has a very similar fatty acid makeup to olive oil.
The research, published in the Plant Biotechnology Journal, demonstrates that the scientists were able to traditionally...
 Mysterious underwater 'fairy rings' are not the work of aliensBy J. D. Heyes, February 14 2014
(NaturalNews) There has been much speculation about some mysterious underwater "fairy rings" that have been spotted off the coast of Denmark.
Besides the fairy angle, some have suggested that perhaps they are the work of aliens. Others have had a more, say, realistic view: Maybe they were caused by heavy bombing during World War II.
None of those answers are correct, according to scientists and biologists.
Fairies have long been blamed, however...
In fact, the phenomena are rings of green...
 Cities consider switching from corrosive salt to natural beet juice for de-icing roadsBy Jonathan Benson, February 14 2014
(NaturalNews) It would seem as though they are better suited for filling a lunch plate than being spread all over our roads. But beets, and particularly beet juice, are proving to be a highly effective alternative to pollutive salt rocks for de-icing roads in colder areas, which is why many cities are now considering making the switch from applying salt alone to potentially flooding the streets with shimmering beet brine.
In Indiana, officials from the Fort Wayne Public Works Department are convinced...
 Cannabis compound relieves pain from osteoarthritisBy Shelley M. White , February 14 2014
(NaturalNews) Pain from osteoarthritis leaves many debilitated due to stiff and swollen joints. While prescriptions are readily available for osteoarthritis sufferers, they often leave patients with the choice of living between two worlds: If they take prescription pills, they may live with less physical pain yet suffer from the wide array of side effects that pharmaceuticals are equipped with. If they choose not to take prescriptions due to side effects, they will live in the chronic physical pain...
 Researchers say your body odor should be your new IDBy J. D. Heyes, February 14 2014
(NaturalNews) Ever share a cab, an elevator or some other small space with someone who has an odor? Well, in the near future, our body odor will not need to be quite that pungent in order for us to be identified through technology. Just a hint of a smell will do.
At least, that is what researchers at Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, along with the Ilia Sistemas company, are hoping. They are making progress on the development of a brand-new biometric technology that would allow some sort of device...
 Woman's legs make up two-thirds of her bodyBy J. D. Heyes, February 14 2014
(NaturalNews) She's been told before, "You're all legs!" She, more than anyone else of course, knows that.
Her name is Brook Banker. She's a 5'11" model. She has 47-inch legs.
In all, her legs make up roughly two-thirds of her body, which is incredible.
"When I was in high school, I would have preferred to be 4-11 rather than 5-11. But my height has helped me to play volleyball at a high level and to make a career out of modeling," she said in an interview with the New York Post.

 Lawmakers introduce bill to restore 'Net Neutrality' rulesBy J. D. Heyes, February 14 2014
(NaturalNews) It is one of those pieces of legislation that should be unnecessary, but as it happens, it is being welcomed, especially by online publishers, bloggers and other producers of news and opinions that might be considered unruly by the ruling class.
A group of Democratic lawmakers have introduced a bill designed to allow the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to reestablish so-called "Net Neutrality" rules that were struck down by a federal appeals court in January.

 The future of Bitcoin is in the hands of clueless regulatorsBy J. D. Heyes, February 14 2014
(NaturalNews) In recent months, we've begun to pay more attention to the alternative currency phenomenon that is Bitcoin, but as time goes on - and despite more coverage of the currency and its uses - most Americans still don't know much about it, and that includes those who are trying to regulate its uses.
As reported by Wired, financial regulators in New York State recently held hearings on Bitcoin and other digital currencies. Unfortunately, perhaps, a number of businesses that seek to push...
 How drinking coffee can give you a long, happy lifeBy Sarka-Jonae Miller, February 14 2014
(NaturalNews) People joke about how drinking coffee has created a culture of caffeine junkies, people who are basically zombies without their cups of Joe. But the reality is that while some people will take anything to excess, moderate coffee consumption may actually be good for you. Very good. Research links drinking coffee to lowered risk of serious health condition, to longevity, and to better moods.
Coffee fights diseasesStudies indicate that drinking coffee correlates with lower risks of...

 Global cancer rates to skyrocket by 70% over next 20 years as conventional medicine failsBy Ethan A. Huff, February 13 2014
(NaturalNews) The overall number of new people who will develop cancer in a given year is expected to nearly double over the next two decades, claims a new report put out by the World Health Organization (WHO). Analysts at the international governing body say the current global rate of about 14 million new cancer cases annually, per 2012 data, will eventually balloon to somewhere in the ballpark of 25 million new cancer cases annually by 2035.
The sobering report comes on the heels of an earlier...
 Australian organic farmer files lawsuit after crop ruined by GMO contaminationBy L.J. Devon, Staff Writer, February 13 2014
(NaturalNews) More organic farmers these days are being invaded by the transgenic seed and pesticide industry. Genetically modified organisms, developed in a lab, are cross-contaminating real seeds, real crops and real whole food. GMO industry is a bully that scrapes real food off people's plates, replacing nutrition with chemical-bred, genetically altered food science. This food science has destroyed the nutritional content of whole food, while splicing it with bacteria genes.

 Fish oil dramatically improves brain healthBy Sandeep Godiyal, February 13 2014
(NaturalNews) Researchers have known for quite some time that fish oil is highly beneficial to optimal human health. These benefits include better brain health, which is why so many manufacturers of infant milk substitutes rushed to add both DHA and omega-3 fatty acids, amino acids found in high quantities in fish, to their products. Some recent research has shown that these benefits go beyond the developing brains of the smallest people and can help people of all ages enjoy a dramatic increase in...
 Spirulina's antioxidant effects help protect against lead acetate-induced damageBy PF Louis, February 13 2014
(NaturalNews) Despite assurances of safe levels in water and only traces in cosmetics, most scientists agree that there are no safe levels of lead. Lead is toxic, period. It serves absolutely no useful function for the human or animal body. It can affect every organ of a body but most often adversely affects red blood cell production, protein metabolism, the kidneys and the nervous system. [1]
Lead is so toxic that it is no longer allowed in paints, and lead additives are banned from gasoline...
 More companies voluntarily phasing out GMOs in response to growing consumer demandBy Jonathan Benson, February 13 2014
(NaturalNews) Demand for genetically modified organisms (GMOs), or synthetically derived "food" owned by multinational corporations, is on the decline, suggests a new report by NPR. And many U.S. farmers are now voluntarily switching to non-GMO and organic crops to meet this growing demand for clean food, despite the fact that mandatory GMO labeling has yet to become a reality anywhere in North America.
Much of this demand comes from Asian countries like Japan, admits Illinois-based grain processor...
 Blue Zones: What we can learn from the world's longest-living peopleBy Michael Ravensthorpe, February 13 2014
(NaturalNews) In 2008, an American writer and explorer named Dan Buettner published a book entitled The Blue Zone: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest. This book, which was an extension of a report Buettner wrote for National Geographic in 2005 about longevity, contained information about five regions in the world in which people lived for an unusually long time (often over 100 years, as proven by verifiable birth certificates). These five regions, which Buettner named...
 Simple invention can seal a gunshot wound in just 15 secondsBy J. D. Heyes, February 13 2014
(NaturalNews) It is being hailed as breakthrough technology and something that would be especially useful for the military - yet it is a concept so amazingly simple that you may wonder why someone didn't develop it sooner.
According to Popular Science, one of the most difficult duties on the battlefield is dressing wounds - gunshot wounds, wounds caused by shrapnel, penetrating wounds of varying kinds - in part because it is traumatic and painful for the wounded soldier:

 Obamacare's 30-hour employment rule will lead to more layoffsBy S. D. Wells, February 13 2014
(NaturalNews) I thought reform was a good word, but the National Retail Federation says the current 30-hour employment rule is causing businesses to "cut employee hours to avoid offering them health insurance." The new definition, or delineation so to speak, for working full time (or not) depends on the government's interpretation of "reform" and affordable (highly profitable) healthcare. Retail and restaurant businesses are blasting the new mandated "definition" of full-time. Reform by mandate,...
