 Urgent: Johnson & Johnson recall of more than 60,000 bottles of contaminated TylenolBy Jonathan Benson, July 2 2011
(NaturalNews) It appears as though Johnson & Johnson (J&J) may soon have nothing left to recall, as the company announced this week yet another recall in a long line of recalls in the past several years.
This time, more than 60,000 bottles of Tylenol Extra Strength Caplets produced in 2009 for US distribution were found to be contaminated with the same odor-causing chemical identified in many of its other recalled drugs.
McNeil Consumer Healthcare, the division responsible for the tainted Tylenol...
 Weather experts: California mega-quake could be at the doorBy Ethan A. Huff, July 2 2011
(NaturalNews) A new study conducted by researchers from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography in La Jolla, Calif., suggests that the ill-famed California mega-earthquake could happen literally any day now. Overdue for experiencing the "big one" by as much as 100 years, the San Andreas fault line, which stretches about 810 miles along the California coastline and branches inland to the south where it ends at the Salton Sea, could very soon experience a devastating 7.5 magnitude or greater quake.

 Living in the country really is healthier than city lifeBy J. D. Heyes, July 2 2011
(NaturalNews) A sound diet, exercise, plenty of sleep - and escaping the concrete jungle of city life. All of these things contribute to a longer, healthier and less stressful life, according to new research.
While urbanites have long suspected it, scientists have actually identified what makes life in the big city so much more, well, unhealthy. They say their research has found that the parts of the brain that deal with stress and emotion don't handle crowds well.
That could be why people...
 Whistleblower claims White House used CIA to perform hit jobs against political dissidentsBy Ethan A. Huff, July 2 2011
(NaturalNews) Getting on the wrong side of a political fight can land you in the crosshairs of a White House smear campaign, at least that is what appears to have happened during the Bush administration years. According to recent testimony by former US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officer Glenn Carle, the Bush White House ordered the agency to dig up dirt on a prominent university professor that had been outspoken against the war in Iraq, in order to publicly discredit him -- and that was apparently...
 Los Angeles schools swap fried for fresh with massive lunchroom menu overhaulBy Ethan A. Huff, July 2 2011
(NaturalNews) Soggy chicken nuggets and processed corn dogs are making their exit from Los Angeles County lunchrooms, according to a recent report from the Los Angeles Times. The county school board recently voted to replace these and other "junk food" menu items with more vegetarian options like spinach tortellini in butternut squash sauce, as well as more ethnic foods like sushi rolls.
The decision comes just after another recent decision to ban chocolate and strawberry flavored milk drinks...
How To Take Down A Giant (Opinion)By Hesh Goldstein, July 1 2011
Long, long ago David, armed with a slingshot, took down a giant. Today, without a slingshot, we are poised to take down another giant - Monsanto.
Getting into this may take a bit of time. But, by the time I'm done hopefully those that have read this will be so ticked off that you may even be driven to take action.
I can only relate to the GMO horrors that plague Hawaii. Despite Hawaii being only one venue, I am sure that what you are about to read is the norm everywhere.

Massive wildfires threaten to ignite 30000 barrels of plutonium waste at New Mexico nuclear weapons facility, EPA on radiation alertBy Jonathan Benson, July 1 2011
(NaturalNews) Threats of radioactive disaster from what is shaping up to be the largest wildfire in the state's history are escalating, as heavy winds and plenty of dry brush have fueled flames to within 50 feet of New Mexico's Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), home of the first atomic bomb.
Crews claim there are currently no fires burning on the lab's 36 square mile property, but the entire town of Los Alamos, population 11,000, has been evacuated, and the US Environmental Protection Agency...
 Fukushima in the US? Flood berms break around Fort Calhoun nuclear plant, ten-mile evacuation zone declaredBy Ethan A. Huff, July 1 2011
(NaturalNews) The American public is largely being kept in the dark about the escalating Midwest flood disaster, which has now been further intensified by reports that a major nuclear plant near Omaha, Neb., has been breached by flood waters.
A few weeks ago, NaturalNews reported that an electrical console at the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Facility had caught fire, and that the plant's nuclear cooling pools had subsequently lost power for about an hour (http://www.naturalnews.com/032672_nuclear_power_plant_Nebraska...
 Texas TSA bill dies after House refuses to address it on final day of special sessionBy Jonathan Benson, July 1 2011
(NaturalNews) The infamous US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) anti-groping bill that floundered around the halls of the Texas State Capitol for a while has officially died, according to a recent report in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. After getting introduced, then fading away, then getting introduced again, House Bill 41 (HB 41) never ended up making it on the House special session agenda.
When Texas Governor Rick Perry first expressed support for the bill, which would have prohibited...
NPR violates FCC rules, promotes interests of its sponsorship donor MonsantoBy Jonathan Benson, July 1 2011
(NaturalNews) Many NaturalNews readers may be shocked to learn that, for years, biotechnology giant Monsanto sponsored the popular show Marketplace that airs on National Public Radio (NPR). According to a recent report by the Bohemian, the show had received funding from Monsanto for several years, and the views presented on the show have (surprise!) mirrored those of the biotech behemoth, despite the fact that US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules prohibit sponsors from being directly...
 FDA now admits breast implants only last 10 years and have to be removed in all womenBy J. D. Heyes, July 1 2011
(NaturalNews) Reversing earlier statements that breast implants are completely safe and never have to be replaced, the Food and Drug Administration now says many women who have implants must have them removed or replaced within a decade.
According to the agency, new research data from a long-term study found that the implants should be examined every 10 years because they were at risk of rupturing, and that some are linked to a rare form of cancer.
"The key point is that breast implants are...
What's Your Heart's Condition? (Opinion)By Hesh Goldstein, April 5 2011
(NaturalNews) The question was not whether you had a heart condition. It was specifically asked about your heart's condition. To put it another way, do you feel that you are softhearted or hardhearted? By the time we are done with this, you will know one way or another.
Everyone says they are softhearted and full of compassion. They have a pet dog or cat that they love to death, or some tropical fish or some type of bird. Yet, they have no problem eating the flesh of other creatures as long as...
 Hexane may be lurking in the soy protein found in popular food barsBy Kas McNally, June 30 2011
(NaturalNews) Protein bars, breakfast bars, really anything in bar form just makes sense in our dine while dashing society. The question is, what is it you're really eating? Most of these bars claim to offer healthy, wholesome energy, but what you may not have realized is that the process to create "soy protein isolate," which is often a primary ingredient in protein bars, utilizes a toxic solvent called Hexane.
Hexane is an industrial waste by-product of gasoline that, according to the EPA, can...
 Eating blueberries helps build strong bones, suggests studyBy Jonathan Benson, June 22 2011
(NaturalNews) Move over calcium, there is a new bone builder in town. Research published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research back in 2010 showed that blueberry compounds helped improve bone development in lab rats, and new research conducted by the same team of scientists is now investigating how the fruit works in humans to boost bone development.
Jin-Ran Chen and his colleagues from the Arkansas Children's Nutrition Center in Little Rock recently received funding from the US Department...
 BPA plastics chemical found to feminize malesBy S. L. Baker, June 30 2011
(NaturalNews) Don't worry, be happy. Just ignore the fact that countless researchers have warned time and time again that the chemical bisphenol A (BPA for short) is a major hormone disruptor and is a huge threat to human health. After all, we must all be safe because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would have banned the stuff long before now if there was really any problem, right?
If you agree with the above, you might also think the deadly radiation still spewing from nuclear reactor...
 Feds raid Amish farm for the crime of selling raw milkBy Bella Muse, June 30 2011
(NaturalNews) A year long sting? 5 A.M raid? An undercover agent using aliases? The crime in question: unpasteurized milk.
It is absolutely absurd to know that these kinds of exaggerated situations actually take place. And even worse, that our tax dollars fund them.
It's no secret that the FDA can be the least reliable source of information regarding health and nutrition. They've proven time and again to care little about the facts that prove holistic approaches cure diseases, and have made...
 GM marijuana booms in South America, growers reap ten times market valueBy Ethan A. Huff, June 30 2011
(NaturalNews) Business is booming for sales of marijuana that has been genetically-modified (GM) to contain up to nine times more tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) than normal marijuana, according to a recent report by AFP.
The South American country of Colombia, which is known for its illicit drug trade, is apparently becoming a mecca for growing GM marijuana because the "frankenweed" is worth almost ten times the black market value of conventional marijuana.
Though growing marijuana is illegal in...
What you need to know about omega-3s (Opinion)By Hesh Goldstein, June 24 2011
(NaturalNews) Rather than get really technical and bore you to death with long chemical words, there are two fatty acids that are considered "essential". One is omega-3 (alpha-linoleic acid) and the other is omega-6 (linoleic acid). Both are polyunsaturated oils and are considered "essential" because the body cannot produce them on its own, despite the body needing them for many functions. Because of this we must make sure that we get enough of these "essentials". Omega-6s are easier to get through...
 Super-efficient, low-cost inkjet system to revolutionize solar energy technologyBy Jonathan Benson, June 30 2011
(NaturalNews) The same technology used in your home or office printer to deliver ink to paper is now being used in a revolutionary new solar technology that eliminates 90 percent of raw material waste, and drastically cuts the costs associated with producing solar cells.
Engineers from Oregon State University (OSU) are well on their way to producing the first ever super-efficient, extremely low-cost solar film made from inkjet technology, which could make solar energy production a whole lot more...
 Coconut sugar quickly replacing agave nectar as natural sweetener of choiceBy Mike Adams, June 29 2011
(NaturalNews) Over the last two years, we've witnessed a mass exodus away from agave nectar and a search for more natural sweeteners that are both low on the glycemic index and high in nutrient density. Several candidates have emerged, but my all-out favorite has become coconut sugar, which is really more like a coconut caramel sap.
This sweetener is fast becoming extremely popular among raw foodies, vegans and vegetarians. Many have switched from agave nectar to coconut sugar for all the reasons...
 The true story of SV40, the cancer-causing virus hidden in polio vaccinesBy J. D. Heyes, June 29 2011
(NaturalNews) Poliomylitis, or polio for short, is a disease that has been around since ancient times, and despite the medical advances we have made in the United States in terms of regular and natural health, there is still no cure for this dreaded, disabling disease.
An infectious viral affliction that attacks nerve cells and, at times, the body's central nervous system, polio causes a phenomenon known as muscle wasting (a decrease in the mass of muscle), and can also cause paralysis and death...
 Are you eating pesticides? Canola oil, soybean oil used as key ingredients in pesticide productsBy Mike Adams, June 29 2011
(NaturalNews) In a shocking new video, Mike Adams (the Health Ranger) reveals that common cooking oils such as canola oil and soybean oil are used as key active ingredients in pesticide products because they work so effectively to kill bugs. The video shows how one pesticide product that kills insects is made with 96% canola oil and is so dangerous that the label says, "Hazards to humans and domestic animals."
The label of the product, made almost entirely with canola oil, goes on to explain ...
 Japan's 'most dangerous reactor' severely damaged, could become worse than FukushimaBy Jonathan Benson, June 20 2011
(NaturalNews) If you have been following the events surrounding the unfolding Fukushima Daiichi nuclear catastrophe here on NaturalNews over the past several months, you are already likely aware that it is now considered by some to be the worst industrial disaster the world has ever seen, and one that will continue to worsen in the coming months and years ahead. However, according to a recent New York Times (NYT) article, another severely damaged nuclear plant 300 miles from Fukushima could supersede...
 Organic Consumers Association boycott forces Silk soymilk to get honest with Non-GMO ProjectBy Jonathan Benson, June 29 2011
(NaturalNews) The Silk beverage company, which is owned by the nation's largest dairy conglomerate Dean Foods, shot itself in the foot in 2009 when it quietly switched its line of organic soymilk beverages to conventional without changing its products labels (http://www.naturalnews.com/027450_food_foods_Dean.html).
In response to massive consumer outcry and a subsequent boycott initiated by the Organic Consumers Association (OCA), Silk eventually made some positive changes, including its recent...
Nuclear facilities in the US at risk of disaster this weekBy Randall Neustaedter OMD, June 29 2011
(NaturalNews) Are you worried about nuclear facility safety? Could the US have a disaster similar to Japan? Just this week three nuclear facilities have been threatened by the power of nature. The Fort Calhoun nuclear reactor 19 miles north of Omaha, Nebraska has been overtaken by floodwaters of the Missouri River, which reached 33 feet above flood stage and left the facility under two feet of water.
This places the reactor within six feet of its critical levels. Too close for comfort. The Fort...
 Stop USDA from allowing commercial plantings of GM eucalyptus treesBy Ethan A. Huff, June 29 2011
(NaturalNews) In 2010, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) granted approval to ArborGen, a multinational company that produces genetically-modified (GM) trees, to plant its GM eucalyptus trees on dozens of test sites across the southeastern US. Though not yet officially approved for commercial cultivation and distribution, these GM trees planted on test sites are still destroying local ecology and spreading GM spores -- and they must be stopped.
At least 260,000 GM eucalyptus trees, which...

Olestra fake fat actually increases body fat, says studyBy Sally Oaken, June 29 2011
(NaturalNews) Popular wisdom suggests that substituting high fat foods with equal amounts of reduced fat and reduced calorie foods will lead to weight loss. It's long been assumed that weight fluctuations influenced by nutrition alone occur in accordance with a simple equation: the consumption of excess fat and calories make us fat.
But a new study by Purdue is turning this common assumption on its head. As a result of studies conducted on rats, researchers are suggesting that the relationship...
 Japan urging citizens to grow sunflowers to remove radiation from soilsBy Sally Oaken, June 29 2011
(NaturalNews) The devastating earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March caused a nuclear disaster that left high quantities of radioactive cesium and other toxins in the soil in around the Fukushima prefecture. But a recent campaign has been launched by civil servants and independent entrepreneurs who are focusing their efforts on the use of sunflowers to clean contaminants from the fallout zone.
Project leader Shinji Handa explains the long term plan. Sunflower seeds will be sold to citizens...
 Claim: TSA employees now developing cancer clusters from standing near body scanner machinesBy Mike Adams, June 28 2011
(NaturalNews) In a new twist to the TSA saga to which we can only say, "We told ya so," the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) has obtained documents through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) that reveal TSA employees are reporting "cancer clusters" among their own employees who work near radiation body scanners. At the same time, DHS refuses to issue dosimeters to TSA employees because, obviously, those dosimeters would indicate alarming levels of radiation exposure. So it's better...
 TSA makes grandma fly with no underwear (explicit satire)By Mike Adams, June 28 2011
(NaturalNews) Remember the story about Jean Weber, the 95-year-old leukemia patient in a wheelchair who had her adult diaper removed by the TSA as part of their "security screening?" (http://www.naturalnews.com/032827_TSA_adult_diaper.html) Today, the TSA declared "We did NOT remove her diaper!"
Instead, the TSA claims this 95-year-old woman "willfully surrendered it" in much the same way that people "willfully surrender" all the items the TSA confiscates from them and then sells for a profit...
 Exposed documents reveal Napolitano, TSA lied about safety of cancer-causing naked body scannersBy Ethan A. Huff, June 28 2011
(NaturalNews) Remember when Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano claimed back in 2010 that the US Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) naked body scanners had been proven safe by research conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) (http://epic.org/privacy/backscatter/USAToday.pdf)? A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request recently brought to light internal emails that were sent by NIST to DHS that basically decry Napolitano's false...
 Tests reveal radioactive urine in Japanese residentsBy Ethan A. Huff, June 28 2011
(NaturalNews) Doctors from Watari Hospital in Fukushima, Japan, recently conducted tests on residents living in two Japanese towns located about 25 miles from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power facility, and discovered that all of them had radioactive particles in their urine. This shocking discovery reveals just how widespread the nuclear catastrophe really is, and how its devastating implications will likely continue to persist indefinitely.
Nanao Kamada, professor emeritus of radiation...
 Support bill to include vitamins, dietary supplements as eligible medical expenses in FSAs, HSAsBy Jonathan Benson, June 28 2011
(NaturalNews) Individuals who help pay for their medical expenses with Flexible Spending Arrangements (FSAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) may soon be able to use these programs to buy herbs, vitamins, minerals, meal replacement products, homeopathic remedies, and various other dietary and health supplements that are not currently eligible.
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) recently introduced S. 1098, the Family and Retirement Health Investment Act of 2011, which if passed will amend current law to...
 Olive oil really does reduce risk of stroke, says researchBy J. D. Heyes, June 28 2011
(NaturalNews) Another new study has confirmed what we've known for quite some time - that olive oil contributes to better health.
According to researchers who followed about 7,000 people aged 65 and older in three French cities for five years, olive oil can help greatly reduce the incidence of stroke.
Scientists conducting the study said they found that people who used a lot of olive oil either in their cooking or as a dip for bread and other foods had lower rates of stroke than people who...
 Bill Gates, Monsanto hijack 'humanitarian aid' efforts to push GMO agendaBy Ethan A. Huff, June 28 2011
(NaturalNews) Those still in denial about the connection between the so-called "humanitarian" efforts of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the bigger agenda to thrust genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) on the populations of the world (among other things), need look no further than the Golden Rice Project (GRP) for proof that things are not as they seem. Hailed as the solution to "micronutrient deficiencies in developing countries," GRP is actually nothing more than an attempted Trojan horse...
 J&J recalls 40000 bottles of schizophrenia drug RisperdalBy Jonathan Benson, June 28 2011
(NaturalNews) The Johnson & Johnson (J&J) Co.'s pharmaceutical division just cannot seem to get its act together. A recent recall involving 16,000 bottles of its schizophrenia drug Risperdal, and 24,000 bottles of a generic version of the same drug, mark yet another in the growing dozens the company has initiated over the past several years. And once again, the cause of the most recent recall involves the same strange odors caused by a palette chemical used to ship the drugs that also spurred earlier...
 The Horrors of Commercial Pet FoodBy Celeste Yarnall, June 28 2011
(NaturalNews) The global commercial pet food industry is astonishingly profitable and continues to grow (sadly) by leaps and bounds. Let's define commercial pet food, for our purposes, as anything that is packaged in cans or bags, even if labeled holistic or natural. Hundreds of generations of pet guardians have fed their animals successfully without the use of bagged, canned and processed pet foods, but that fact has been virtually covered up by "Big Pet Food," and consequently forgotten by consumers...
