 Do vegans need more iodine?By C.E Burch, July 8 2011
(NaturalNews) The vegan lifestyle can be quite healthy if the diet is composed of fresh, organic foods. This takes some planning. Vegans also need to avoid heavily processed vegan foods that give the false impression of providing balanced nutrition when they do not.
Studies that compare a balanced vegan diet with that of vegetarians, and omnivores suggests that vegans frequently have less body fat, lower serum cholesterol, and reduced risk of type 2 diabetes than those on other diets. In addition...

 Is your medication causing you to suffer from malnutrition?By C.E Burch, July 7 2011
(NaturalNews) Most people trust that the medicines that they take will help them overcome illness, enhance their health and promote well-being. Unfortunately medications often deplete important nutrients from the body, and people don't find the relief that they seek.

 TSA failure: Man successfully flies from NY to CA without ticket or IDBy Ethan A. Huff, July 7 2011
(NaturalNews) With the excessive security arsenal of X-ray machines, naked body scanners, and "enhanced" full-body pat-downs, one would think the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) would at least be able to make sure that travelers have valid tickets and proper identification before boarding airplanes.
But a recent report by CBS News in New York explains that the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is looking into a case involving a man who had neither his ID or a valid ticket...

How doctors and hospitals relate to and use radiation in both diagnosis and treatment of disease needs...
 FDA unleashes end game scheme to outlaw virtually all dietary supplements formulated after 1994By Mike Adams, July 6 2011
(NaturalNews) In the wake of hundreds of dietary supplements recently being outlawed across the EU, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has quietly unleashed a regulatory scheme that, if fully implemented, could ban virtually all dietary supplements in the USA that were formulated after 1994.
That means nearly all superfoods, multivitamins, detox supplements, and medicinal herbal products we have all come to depend on to prevent disease and boost our immune health could soon be stripped from...
 Durbin 'Dietary Supplement Labeling Act' to reward FDA for failures and punish responsible supplement producersBy Ethan A. Huff, July 6 2011
(NaturalNews) A new bill introduced by Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), S. 1310, the "Dietary Supplement Labeling Act of 2011," threatens to undermine the dietary supplement industry by giving the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) more power over it, despite the agency's failure to enforce existing laws that are already on the books.
The Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), the leading trade association representing the dietary supplement industry, has come out in opposition to the bill, saying...
KFC and PepsiCo donate to diabetes research in exchange for your soda purchaseBy J. D. Heyes, July 6 2011
(NaturalNews) It could be one of the most ironically insulting "gifts" ever, but what it is, for certain, is a pathetic shame.
You might think that KFC is doing a good thing by pledging to help fund diabetes research, but when you figure out they are doing much more to cause diabetes than actually cure it, you have to shake your head in disbelief.
According to a recent advertisement spotted in a KFC store, the fast-food chain says it will donate a buck to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation...
 Captive zoo animals plot ways to escape and find freedom, says new bookBy Bella Muse, July 6 2011
(NaturalNews) "Vengeance is mine," sayeth the captive beast. "A Siberian tiger at the San Francisco Zoo leaps a 12-foot high wall and mauls three visitors who had been tormenting her, killing one.

 New diabetes drug linked to infections and cancerBy Jonathan Benson, July 6 2011
(NaturalNews) Tests on a new diabetes drug being developed by drug giants Bristol-Myers Squibb and AstraZeneca have revealed that the new class of drug may be linked to causing urinary tract and genital infections, and several forms of cancer. Add to that dapagliflozin's many other known side effects, and the experimental drug fares even worse than metformin, the more-common drug for treating type 2 diabetes.
The two-year study found that out of 5,478 patients treated with dapagliflozin, nine...
Stop, Think & Contemplate: BP, Fukushima & Fracking: Is Our Future in Jeopardy?By Mitchell Rabin, July 6 2011
(NaturalNews) I'd rather stop, think and contemplate a beautiful sunrise really, a powerful, yellow ball rising above the horizon by the shore. Or a sunset with a bloom of colors across the sky. But due to evolution's incredibly slow movement in the minds, hearts and souls of some of our fellow human beings who consider it acceptable to decimate natural systems, resources, animals, fish and humans to save a few dollars here and there on their bottom line, our collective survival is in actual jeopardy...
 Infant kidnapped, tortured by Missouri state officialsBy Daniel Erickson, July 6 2011
(Natural News) Kansas City - Mid-April - It began as a routine check-up. New parents Calob and Ashly had taken their 2.5-month old baby, Caden, to a weight specialist because he was slightly underweight. As far as they knew, they were doing a great job with Caden, feeding him everything he needed and performing the duties of responsible parents.

 Bill Gates in global push to vaccinate every child on the planetBy Jonathan Benson, June 14 2011
(NaturalNews) Microsoft guru Bill Gates is busy rallying the troops to bring about what he calls "vaccine equity," which is his plan to vaccinate every single child in the world. Manipulating the heart strings of his listening audience, Gates stated at a recent Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) conference that "rich" kids take for granted the vaccines they receive, and that now is the time to provide the same vaccines for the world's poorest children.

 US spends billions every year prosecuting marijuana violations while economy tanksBy Ethan A. Huff, July 5 2011
(NaturalNews) The US economy is rapidly unraveling, vital services are being cut, and millions of Americans are losing their jobs and struggling just to survive.

 Reduce your exposure to cancer-causing petrochemicalsBy Randall Neustaedter OMD, July 5 2011
(NaturalNews) Petrochemicals cause cancer. They are also hormone disruptors, capable of contributing to hormone imbalances and premature puberty in children. We are all exposed to these chemicals every day, but we can also limit our exposure by taking simple measures in our daily lives. Some products, like air pollutants, are not in our control. However, there are many household items including the foods we eat and the fumes we breathe that may include hidden petrochemicals.
Children are especially...
Is the natural gas industry fracking itself?By Mitchell Rabin, July 5 2011
(NaturalNews) The number of social, political and economic problems we're facing today are nothing short of daunting. With the momentum of privatization of otherwise public works, and even subordinating elected officials to the whim of corporate profiteers as in Benton Harbor, MI, gives some indication of how powerful the corporatization of these United States of America is. On last week's front cover, Time Magazine pictured the Constitution with its ends being frayed with the query "Does it Matter...
 Fresh meat versus processed meat: Here's why it mattersBy Mike Adams, July 4 2011
(NaturalNews) Every July 4th, Americans gobble down enormous quantities of meat. Some of it actually comes from animals. The rest comes from factories that assemble bits and pieces of meat scraps, using chemical additives to make the final substance resemble something edible. That's where hot dogs come from… and sausage, pepperoni and deli meats.
If you're eating hot dogs this Fourth of July, you're engaged in acts of nutritional tyranny against your own body. So if you eat meat, eat fresh meat...

 Push to secretly approve GM corn in Pakistan leads to resignation of chief GM regulatorBy Ethan A. Huff, July 4 2011
(NaturalNews) Attempts by biotechnology giant Monsanto to thwart the proper approval process for its GM corn in Pakistan have led to massive outcry by various stakeholders who recognize they have been deliberately ignored and betrayed by their own government. And the uproar against this high-level corruption has been so strong in recent days that Dr. Iftikhar Ahmad, head of a government subcommittee that tried to secretly aid Monsanto's efforts to push through its GM corn, recently resigned from...
Scientists propose growing fake meat in labs to cut 'emissions'By Ethan A. Huff, July 4 2011
(NaturalNews) Instead of focusing on ending the horrendous factory farming practices that inhumanely confine cattle to tight living spaces, and subject them to an unnatural diet of genetically-modified (GM) corn and soybeans, scientists from Oxford University have decided instead to concentrate their efforts on culturing and growing artificial meat in petri dishes.
A recent report in the UK's Guardian explains that researchers there hope to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by producing fake meat...
 Forest density study blows hole in excess CO2 myth and the supposed need for carbon taxesBy Jonathan Benson, July 4 2011
(NaturalNews) We have all heard it before. Humans are supposedly producing too much carbon dioxide (CO2), which is contributing to "global warming" -- and the only solution, of course, is to have the United Nations (UN) distribute carbon use credits and implement carbon taxes to offset an impending global disaster. However, a new study published in the online journal PLoS One helps debunk this myth by showing that the natural world is basically taking care of this excess CO2 naturally, without the...
 Historical fact: Independence Day is a celebration of freedom from government tyrannyBy Mike Adams, July 3 2011
(NaturalNews) Happy July 4th, my fellow Americans. It's the Independence Day weekend! Independence from what, you might ask? As even the somewhat revisionist history taught in public schools readily admits, July 4th is a celebration of independence from government tyranny under British rule.
And what kind of government tyranny, specifically? Well, the kind that involves warrantless searches of peoples' homes, where government agents could just waltz right into your private home for no reason and...

 Listening to radio healthier than watching TVBy J. D. Heyes, July 3 2011
(NaturalNews) Sitting in front of the television for hours on end is not healthy. Listening to the radio is a better alternative.
According to new British research, time spent listening to the radio makes people happier and gives them higher energy levels overall compared to television viewing and surfing the Internet.
In a survey of 1,000 Britons, a study called, "Media and the Mood of the Nation," respondents reported a 100 percent lift in spirits and a 300 boost in levels of happiness when...
 Got arthritis pain? Try frankincenseBy Jonathan Benson, July 3 2011
(NaturalNews) Reducing or even eliminating the inflammation associated with chronic arthritis does not require the use of side effect-ridden pharmaceutical drugs. A new study conducted by researchers from Cardiff University in the UK suggests that frankincense, a resin derived from Boswellia trees, may just do the trick naturally.
Already known to help relieve depression, treat anxiety, and even eliminate cancer (http://www.naturalnews.com/frankincense.html), frankincense is a powerful herbal...
