 Genetic testing wildly inaccurate; different labs reach opposite conclusions on disease riskBy Ethan A. Huff, January 21 2014
(NaturalNews) If you or someone you know is considering taking a genetic test to assess future disease risk, you may be interested to know that the accuracy of such tests is hardly reliable. Writing for The New York Times (NYT), Columbia University graduate student Kira Peikoff explains how, after undergoing genetic testing using kits available from three major testing companies, her understanding of her gene-associated disease risk is even more abstract.
The reason for this is that all three...

 Fathers' diets and health found to influence offspring's obesity, insulin resistanceBy L.J. Devon, Staff Writer, January 21 2014

 Scientist exposes flu shots lies and doom-and-gloom media propagandaBy Mike Adams, January 19 2014
(NaturalNews) The mainstream media has utterly abandoned science in the push for more flu shot propaganda, entirely failing to mention any of the risks associated with vaccines.

Such a position is utterly anti-scientific. All medical interventions carry inherent risk, and this is especially so when vaccines...

Obamacare website 'crazy vulnerable' to hackers, security risksBy J. D. Heyes, January 18 2014
(NaturalNews) It's not just glitch-prone and vague about important components of health insurance coverage, like how much it will cost. But the federal online Obamacare exchange, Healthcare.gov, is also a wet dream for hackers, despite the millions spent to "fix" it.
That's the diagnosis of a number of Web security experts who have examined the site from a hacker's perspective (these are the good guys, by the way) and found it disturbingly open to identity theft, among other calamities, as reported...
