By Mike Adams, February 7 2013
(NaturalNews) There's a lot of buzz in the news about a new scientific study that statistically supports the idea that our known universe is actually a grand computer simulation.

This news, by the way, also supports the idea of a Creator who brought this universe -- and everything in it -- into existence by design...

Creatine - What you want to know and much more

By Dr. Daniel Zagst, February 6 2013
(NaturalNews) Creatine is very popular in the fitness industry as a muscle builder, but may in fact do much more than bulk you up. After synthesis in the kidney and liver from amino acids, creatine supplies energy to all cells in the body, not only muscle (although 95 percent of the body's total creatine is found in muscle). It works by increasing the availability/production of ATP, the main fuel source in the cell, by recycling ADP and donating an additional phosphate with aid of the Creatine Kinase...

Smoking addiction similar to gambling; both are fixed to rob you of everything

By S. D. Wells, February 6 2013
(NaturalNews) The best metaphor for the smoking addiction and how it has gotten so many millions of people hooked is gambling. Gambling is a major addiction in the United States for many people. They go to Atlantic City or Las Vegas and bet their whole paycheck, sometimes cash advances on credit, or worse, their life savings, trying to win big money. But why are all the casinos big, shiny, well-lit, beautiful buildings that thrive even in hard times? Because they let you have some 'little' winnings...

By J. D. Heyes, February 5 2013
(NaturalNews) As if police in most major cities didn't have enough to do already, now they are being deployed as enforcers for the nanny state.

The women, who were known to be vocal opponents of the wireless electric meters, apparently, were not the only smart meter opponents, however, because city officials told the Chicago...
