NZ food bill to make growing food a government privilege rather than a human right

By Ethan A. Huff, December 7 2011
(NaturalNews) The God-given human right to freely cultivate food is under attack in New Zealand (NZ) as special interest groups and others are currently attempting to push a "food security" bill through the nation's parliament that will strip individuals of their right to grow food, save seeds, and even share the fruits of their labor with friends and family members. In accordance with the World Trade Organization's (WTO) Codex Alimentarius scheme for global food control, the NZ Food Bill, if...

Starbucks nutrition shocker - many menu items contain more calories and fat than ice cream

By Tara Green, December 7 2011
(NaturalNews) Your morning cup of joe at Starbucks may have a higher calorie count and fat percentage than a serving of ice cream or a piece of chocolate cake. NaturalNews looked into the nutritional information on Starbucks' website and found that many of the chain's popular latte drinks have the same dietary impact as the kind of dessert most people avoid for being "too fattening." Starbucks' NumbersStarbucks' Salted Caramel Mocha is described on the company's website as "espresso and steamed...

Five things you can do right now to help stop the economic plundering of our world

By Mike Adams, December 6 2011
(NaturalNews) The economic plundering of our world is well under way, with the Goldman Sachs "white shoe boyz" taking over entire national economies as they confiscate the wealth of the working class. They aren't the only evildoers wreaking havoc across the world, of course: A cabal of powerful and criminally-insane corporations are destroying the future of food, plotting to keep citizens suffering from disease, and even perpetuating war so they can earn obscene profits from selling more bullets...

New research finds possible reason for obesity and type 2 diabetes epidemics in kids: lack of vitamin D

By S. L. Baker, December 6 2011
(NaturalNews) If there's one nutrient that has received an amazing amount of attention and research over the past year, it's vitamin D. As NaturalNews has reported extensively, a lack of the vitamin has been linked to everything from dementia and arthritis to heart disease and breast cancer. What's more, as scientists have probed deeper into the question of vitamin D deficiency, they've come up with an alarming finding -- huge numbers of people tested appear to be deficient in the vitamin. For...

TSA worker arrested for wearing uniform, flashing badge while off duty in order to sexually assault woman

By Jonathan Benson, December 6 2011
(NaturalNews) A perfect example of "trickle-down tyranny," 52-year-old US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officer Harold Glen Rodman was recently arrested and taken into custody for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in his Manassas, Va., neighborhood. According to ABC 7 News in Washington, DC, Rodman was arrested on charges of aggravated sexual battery, object sexual penetration, forcible sodomy and abduction with intent to defile. All while wearing his TSA uniform and badge. Following...

Beware of artificial food coloring chemicals in pickles - it's what makes them appear more yellow

By Selena Keegan, December 5 2011
(NaturalNews)Pickles make great snacks, satisfying food cravings without throwing off your daily intake of calories, fats, sugars or carbohydrates. Like most fermented foods, natural pickles provide probiotic benefits. Unfortunately, most commercially sold pickle brands contain high fructose corn syrup and/or food dye. Garnish your sandwich with cancer? Food manufacturers dye pickles as a marketing ploy to enhance the shelf-appeal of their product, hoping consumers will choose the brightest pickles...

GSK pays US government record $3 billion for illegally marketing drugs (but CEO and executives not held criminally responsible)

By Ethan A. Huff, December 5 2011
(NaturalNews) The pharmaceutical industry is notorious for getting away with murder, both figuratively and literally, without so much as a slap on the wrist from the justice system. And a recent settlement involving drug giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) only further exposes the fact that Big Pharma is free to break the law as long as it pays off Big Government, its partner in crime. The latest dog and pony show involves the US government addressing GSK's illegal activity over the years in peddling...

Pesticides are one of top three 'worst toxic pollution problems' on planet, say non-profit groups

By Jonathan Benson, December 5 2011
(NaturalNews) The Blacksmith Institute (BI), an international non-profit environmental health organization devoted to solving pollution problems around the world, in conjunction with Green Cross Switzerland (GCS), a group that helps clean up pollution, recently co-released a comprehensive report entitled The World's Worst Toxic Pollution Problems. In it, researchers explain how agricultural pesticides represent the number three worst pollution problem on the planet. The report was compiled based...

Payola fuels Big Pharma and the medical monopoly

By PF Louis, December 5 2011
(NaturalNews) Payola means bribery, direct and indirect. It has been discovered to permeate the music industry and politics, but allopathic devotees don't know that it affects their medicine. After all, doctors are the high priests of the mainstream medicine religion, and they should be respected even if they are shill for Big Pharma. No need for concern. Fortunately, the Texas State Attorney is concerned now. The state attorney's office is preparing for a January 20012 trial against Jansen Pharmaceuticals...

Breast cancer prevention alternatives - know your options before leaping

By Tara Green, December 5 2011
(NaturalNews) Fear, pain, poison, and "pre-emptive" surgery characterize mainstream medicine's philosophy of breast cancer awareness. The cancer industry's attitude toward breast health is rooted in harrowing more than healing, its motives based in profit rather than prevention. Dangerous Diagnostic Procedures Although many thoroughly indoctrinated scientists would have you believe that measures such as self-exams, mammograms and in some cases even pre-emptive breast removal are wise precautions...

FBI 'entrapment' tactics questioned in web of phony terror plots and paid informants

By J. D. Heyes, December 5 2011
(NaturalNews) Dave Williams might have made some bad choices in his life that ultimately led to some jail time. But his greatest "crime," seems to have been manufactured by an overzealous federal agency looking to make some sort of "progress" in the war on terror. Williams, who grew up poor in the small, gritty New York town of Newburgh, had already served time on a drug rap when he and three other local men were arrested in May 2009 on charges they plotted to blow up Jewish synagogues and purchase...

Magnesium - Learn about the master mineral supplement you must have

By Paul Fassa, December 5 2011
(NaturalNews) Many call it the master mineral, yet eighty percent or more of modern society is deficient. It is a basic element of over 300 cellular metabolic processes. It's magnesium. As important as it is, it is vastly underrated and underused by health practitioners and physicians. The combination of depleted topsoil and food processing have minimized or completely removed plant magnesium from our diets. If your digestion is good, and you're eating all organic produce and whole grains, you...

TSA strip-searches 85-year-old woman in wheelchair while National Organization for Women (N.O.W.) remains shamelessly silent

By Mike Adams, December 5 2011
(NaturalNews) For a federal government that has gone insane with criminality, no act of violating fundamental human rights is too outrageous anymore. In the latest chapter of the U.S. government's police state humiliation of innocent American women, an 85-year-old woman in a wheelchair, Lenore Zimmerman, was strip-searched by TSA agents who left her bleeding from a painful gash in her leg. (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/dec/04/woman-claims-strip-search-jfk-airport) "They took me into a...

Hospitals in Houston requiring unvaccinated employees to wear face masks during entire flu season if they refuse flu shot

By Ethan A. Huff, December 4 2011
(NaturalNews) Memorial Hermann (MH), a major hospital system in Houston, Tex., that employs 20,000 workers at 11 area hospitals, is currently pushing a campaign that aims to vaccinate 100 percent of its workers with the flu shot by Nov. 18. And one of the ways this medical group is not-so-subtly attempting to force full compliance is by threatening those who have not gotten their shots with having to wear face masks at work throughout the entire flu season. NaturalNews was able to locate a Flu...

Is the war on terror a complete hoax? Paul Craig Roberts reveals how social engineers infected America with mass paranoia

By Mike Adams, December 4 2011
(NaturalNews) What if there weren't any real terrorists threatening America and the whole thing was just made up to justify a military agenda? A rational person might say that if we're all going to give up our rights, and our Fourth Amendment, and have U.S. troops in the streets running checkpoints, then logically there should at least be some evidence that America has been infiltrated with terrorists, right? Or, more specifically, evidence from a reliable source that has not already been caught...

Health Basics: What is Aspartame?

By S. D. Wells, December 4 2011
(NaturalNews) Over a billion people consume aspartame in their foods and beverages across the world, believing it to be a safe ingredient, but what they probably don't know is that aspartame currently accounts for over 75% of all side effects complaints received by the FDA's Adverse Reaction Monitoring System (ARMS) for the past 4 years. It is banned by health-conscious countries all over the world, especially where there is a national healthcare system in place. Aspartame is best known by the...

School turns abandoned athletic field into organic garden that grows thousands of pounds of produce to serve in cafeteria

By Ethan A. Huff, December 4 2011
(NaturalNews) A Denver, Co., public school has set the bar high for reconnecting the next generation of children with the food they eat. ABC 7 News in Denver reports that Denver Green School (DGS), an urban "innovation" school, has brought new life to an unused, one-acre athletic field by turning it into an organic garden -- and the garden has been such a success in just eight months that the school is able to serve fresh produce from it to students in the cafeteria. "We have harvested over 3...

A method to quit smoking that really works - organic tobacco

By S. D. Wells, December 4 2011
(NaturalNews) Before tobacco was polluted with somewhere between 1,000 and 4,000 chemicals, anyone could quit the habit, even cold turkey without help, but because today's premium brands have juiced up the nicotine so high, it seems to take a small miracle to cure someone of smoking. (http://www.keepitsacred.org/network/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=32&Itemid=24) In fact, the majority of smokers light up just to feel normal, and catch a little bit of stimulation or relaxation; however...

Natural sweeteners can be used effectively in moderation to provide the sweetness that most people crave. Here are the best natural sweeteners ranked in order based on low glycemic index and additional health benefits. Every living creature is designed to run off of a simple sugar called glucose. It is the primary unit in the study of metabolism...

5-year-old cuffed, charged with battery on cop

By J. D. Heyes, December 4 2011
(NaturalNews) There is no question that police officers in the United States have one of the toughest, most dangerous jobs around. But it's hard to imagine an instance - any instance - where a cop feels so threatened by a child barely past the toddler age that he or she needs to forcibly restrain them. Five-year-old Michael Davis, who attended the Rio Calaveras Elementary of Stockton, has a behavioral problem. According to his mother, Thelma Gray, he has been medically diagnosed with Attention...

Arginine lowers total body inflammation to help fight brain cancer

By John Phillip, December 4 2011
(NaturalNews) A diagnosis of cancer, especially the most prevalent form of brain cancer known as glioblastoma, can be devastating, with a dismal prognosis for this particularly fast moving form of the disease. Many cancer lines develop and progress due to a decline in immune function, allowing single cancer cells to form groups that eventually break apart and metastasize to different organs in the body. T-cells (composed of white blood cell neutrophils) are responsible for destroying aberrant tumor...

Fast food nutrition facts - mystery ingredients are industrial chemicals

By Tara Green, December 3 2011
(NaturalNews) Many people think occasional junk food indulgence can be balanced out by skipping meals later in the week or by putting in some extra time on the treadmill. The truth is that the consequences of this type of eating can turn up in unexpected ways, often years later as toxins accumulate in your body and cause serious illnesses like cancer or diabetes. It is only in the past several decades that the abundance of toxic chemical ingredients in food, have made the consequences of dietary...

FDA: Pet treats imported from China can cause severe illness, death

By Ethan A. Huff, December 3 2011
(NaturalNews) A recent uptick in adverse event reports has prompted the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to issue a fresh warning to pet owners about the potential toxicity of certain pet treats imported from China. MSNBC reports that at least 70 dogs so far this year have been sickened or killed by chicken jerky products imported from China, and that dog owners who observe any symptoms potentially associated with the use of such treats should stop using them immediately. According to reports...

Amazing food fact: The main ingredient in tapioca pudding is a tropical tuber that provides a huge portion of the world's dietary carbohydrates

By Mike Adams, December 3 2011
(NaturalNews) After rice and wheat, the most important human carbohydrate source is not what you might guess. It's not the starchy potato, or any of the major sweetener-producing crops (sugar cane, sugar beet or corn). It's a tropical tuber known by the names cassava, manioc and yucca (in Spanish), and it's the main ingredient in tapioca pudding. Although little known in North America, cassava was a staple food for the pre-Columbian cultures of tropical America and remains an important food in...

Fiendish pharmaceutical animal testing does not help humanity

By PF Louis, December 3 2011
(NaturalNews) Many consider animal testing necessary to produce the modern medical miracles that humans depend on. This is animal cruelty. All drugs on the market have gone through animal testing to be considered safe. Yet many still have adverse effects on humans, and some are pulled off the market because so many experience adverse effects. Over 100,000 people die from correctly prescribed and used pharmaceutical drugs each year. Torturing helpless animals, ostensibly to ensure drugs are safe...

Scientists deliberately remove natural compounds from grapefruits to accommodate pharmaceuticals that cause negative interactions

By Jonathan Benson, December 3 2011
(NaturalNews) Grapefruits, lemons, celery, and certain other fruits and vegetables contain compounds known as furanocoumarins that can cause a negative reaction when consumed along with certain medications. But rather than examine the medications to see whether or not they themselves are safe, scientists have instead focused on developing genetically hybridized grapefruit that contains little or no furanocoumarins as the solution. Researchers from the University of Florida (UF) have successfully...

Prevent cancer with green tea - know how much is needed

By Ethan Evers, December 3 2011
(NaturalNews) If you take green tea to reduce your risk of cancer, are you really getting enough? Up until recently, population studies have had mixed results, making it difficult to give clear-cut guidelines on green tea intake. But now, several new meta-studies have begun to shed light on how much green tea is required to provide meaningful reductions in risk for several major cancers. Green Tea: The Most Studied Anti-Cancer PlantThere are now more active clinical trials using green tea against...

Exercises naturally enhance cerebrospinal fluid flow

By Dr. David Jockers, December 3 2011
(NaturalNews) The brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system (CNS), which is the master control system for the entire body. It sends and receives a complicated frequency of signals within the body that dictates the function of the tissues & cells. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) bathes, feeds, & protects the brain and spinal cord. Exercises that enhance the flow of CSF through the CNS are very important health strategies. The CSF maintains the electrolytic environment of the central...

How To Take Down A Giant Part 6 (Opinion)

By Hesh Goldstein, November 29 2011
(NaturalNews) As this movie's plot begins to unfold more and more, Hawaii's Attorney General appears to be pushing back into a corner more and more. I am confident that before long that corner will be so tight that they will have no where to go. So, I received a reply to my last letter. It was dated November 15th. The relevance of that is that their replies are taking longer and longer. This is what I mean by them getting backed into the proverbial corner. Anyway, the letter goes like this: Dear...

Money and the Blame Game: Seeing Beyond 'Occupy Movements' and 'End The Fed'

By Greg Glaser, December 3 2011
(NaturalNews) To say fractional reserve banking is bad is like saying that fire is bad - it's kind of silly for its simplistic assumption. The relevant question is: what are you using it for? Morally, who has committed the greater offense: the farmer who uses loan money to purchase toxic pesticides to spray over his land and workers, or the banker who gives that 'chemical junkie' a loan? What about the consumer who purchases cage-tortured chicken from Safeway, or the bank who gives that 'zombie'...

Wi-Fi radiation from laptops may cause infertility in men

By Elizabeth Walling, December 2 2011
(NaturalNews) Laptops with wi-fi technology have given us the capability to connect to the internet almost anywhere, but now researchers say wi-fi radiation may also be giving us more infertility by decreasing sperm motility and damaging DNA in sperm. Is Your Wi-Fi Laptop Hurting Your Sperm? Published in the medical journal Fertility and Sterility, the study looked at how radiation emitted from wi-fi laptops impacts sperm health. Researchers in Argentina took semen samples from 29 healthy men...

Exposed: Food manufacturers, not the FDA, have self-approved thousands of food chemicals in widespread use today

By Ethan A. Huff, December 2 2011
(NaturalNews) There are currently more than 10,000 chemical food additives permitted for use in foods today. But at least 3,000 of these have never undergone proper US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) safety reviews, and have instead essentially been "approved" for use by the chemical companies and food manufacturers that make and use them. Before the mid-1990s, the FDA members of the public, as well as academic scientists and public interest groups, provided input on chemicals as part of the...

Federal appeals court reinstates corporate ownership over human genes for breast cancer

By Ethan A. Huff, October 28 2011
(NaturalNews) Reversing a previous decision by a US District Court that declared gene patenting to be invalid, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) recently ruled in opposition, declaring that certain gene variants are supposedly unnatural and can thus be legally patented by biotechnology companies. Myriad Genetics & Laboratories, a molecular diagnostics company out of Salt Lake City, Ut., had filed patents for BRCA1 and BRCA2, two genes allegedly linked to predicting breast...

Veggie burgers often contain hidden MSG

By Selena Keegan, December 2 2011
(NaturalNews) Whether you're a strict vegetarian or simply an omnivore seeking to lower your intake of animal protein, you may find vegetarian convenience foods, such as veggie burgers, a tempting addition to your grocery cart. Beware, however, as many of the most readily available brands of veggie burgers betray the healthy impulse that makes you reach for them in the freezer section. The recipes for most commercial veggie burgers rely on industrial ingredients that may put your health at risk. As...

Years of social unrest on the horizon if economies fall like dominoes

By J. D. Heyes, December 2 2011
(NaturalNews) Have you been paying attention to the economic collapse of Europe? How about the rising debt of the United States? If not, you should be, because these events are very likely to have a real effect on your future quality of life and safety. Last week leaders from the world's top 20 economies were warned that a social tsunami is coming if their economies tank in the form of massive unrest that could even lead to the collapse of some governments.

Green tea found to lower LDL cholesterol levels

By Elizabeth Walling, December 2 2011
(NaturalNews) Green tea hits the spotlight once again, this time as a natural remedy for lowering LDL cholesterol levels. It has already been shown to prevent flu, improve heart health, and fight obesity, and now researchers at Western University of Health Sciences in California say green tea can also shave a few points off your "bad" cholesterol. Published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, the study pooled results of 20 clinical trials which included 1,415 adults. The trials...

Yes, you can quit smoking - here's how

By S. D. Wells, December 2 2011
(NaturalNews) Most smokers believe that nicotine is the root of their addiction, but there are actually 4,000 other chemicals in cigarettes creating anxiety and driving them to crave relief, which the nicotine brings, but only for about 15 to 20 minutes. The massive amount of toxic chemicals in cigarettes wreaks havoc on the central nervous system, fueling a different kind of addiction - a body and mind which yearns for relaxation and confidence (http://sainompk.hubpages.com/hub/The-Biochemical-effects...

By John Phillip, December 2 2011
(NaturalNews) Researchers from Britain and The Netherlands provide conclusive evidence that a high fiber diet can have a dramatic effect on colon cancer incidence. Reporting in the British Medical Journal, scientists performing a meta-analysis of twenty five prospective studies, including more than two million participants, found that eating a high fiber diet, particularly cereal and whole grains, is linked to a reduced risk of colorectal cancer. Worldwide, colorectal cancer is the third most common...

Don't be fooled by GMO-laden 'natural' cereals that pose as organic

By Ethan A. Huff, December 2 2011
(NaturalNews) The term "natural" has virtually no standardized definition when used on food labels in the US, but manufacturers are increasingly interchanging it with "organic" in order to save money and fool customers. And it turns out that many health-conscious consumers actually prefer the term "natural" over "organic," which is why many food manufacturers are making the switch without incident. By definition, certified organic food products are grown without chemical pesticides or herbicides...

Celiac disease and gluten intolerance - Does time heal all wounds?

By Julie McGinnis, December 2 2011
(NaturalNews) As the saying goes, "time heals all wounds." But what if you have been suffering with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity (GS) for decades and just want to feel better today? Besides a gluten-free diet, is there anything else you can do to enhance the healing process? After receiving a celiac or GS diagnosis, most patients leave their doctor's office with instructions to adhere to a strict gluten-free diet -- and that's it. While it's wonderful to have a definitive diagnosis and...

How to hide preparedness minerals (emergency nutrition) in plain view with a Himalayan salt lamp

By Mike Adams, December 1 2011
(NaturalNews) It's not often you find an item that's functional as both a household appliance and a source of nutrition. You can't EAT your dishwasher, for example. It's even harder to find such an item that becomes more valuable in an economic collapse scenario when food supply disruptions occur. That's why this find is so rare: Mineral salt lamps are made out of the very same Himalayan salt crystals that are usually ground up to create full-spectrum salt. But when they're mined, they're actually...

War on drugs revealed as total hoax - US military admits to guarding, assisting lucrative opium trade in Afghanistan

By Ethan A. Huff, November 16 2011
(NaturalNews) Afghanistan is, by far, the largest grower and exporter of opium in the world today, cultivating a 92 percent market share of the global opium trade. But what may shock many is the fact that the US military has been specifically tasked with guarding Afghan poppy fields, from which opium is derived, in order to protect this multibillion dollar industry that enriches Wall Street, the CIA, MI6, and various other groups that profit big time from this illicit drug trade scheme. Prior...

Study finds connection between prenatal exposure to BPA and aggression during toddler years

By Jonathan Benson, December 1 2011
(NaturalNews) Researchers from the Harvard University School of Public Health have made a disturbing new discovery about the plastics chemical bisphenol-A (BPA).
