 Immediate opposition needed against bills that criminalize those who expose horrors of factory farmsBy Jonathan Benson, May 26 2011
(NaturalNews) The factory food industry is apparently suffering from significant profit and public image losses due to increased exposure of the horrific conditions at factory farms. Several states currently have legislation before them that seeks to outlaw the practice of videotaping or otherwise documenting what takes place at Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs), and the authors and sponsors of these bill are largely connected to CAFOs themselves.
For years, undercover workers have...

 EPA RadNet radiation monitoring system exposed as poorly-maintained, improperly-calibrated failureBy Ethan A. Huff, May 26 2011
(NaturalNews) Following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster on March 11, 2011, many Americans turned to the US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) RadNet monitoring system for up-to-date information about radiation levels in the US. However, it turns out they were unable to get this crucial data because the system is very poorly maintained, routinely suffers from severe calibration issues, and is largely useless as an accurate indicator of radiation threats.
One would think that the US...
 Psych doctors took money from drug companies to medicate children in juvenile jailsBy Tara Green, May 26 2011
(NaturalNews) Psychiatrists working for the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, entrusted with the health of children in state custody, accepted thousands of dollars from drug companies.

The Palm Beach Post News broke the story of this medical conflict of interest which one former federal prosecutor calls "truly stunning and...

(NaturalNews) The Federal Emergency Management Agency is asking thousands of Americans who were victims of natural disasters to return more than $22 million in government aid, after the agency mistakenly made payments to many people who it is now saying were ineligible (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110510/ap_on_re_us/us_fema_reclaiming_aid).

 Cancer screenings are now spreading deadly superbugs, say reportsBy Ethan A. Huff, May 26 2011
(NaturalNews) A new study published in the Journal of Urology warns about a newly-recognized danger associated with cancer screenings -- the spread of deadly "superbugs." According to the report, biopsies, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests, and other invasive cancer screening procedures are a direct cause of serious infections, many of which eventually lead to death.
Dozens of studies conducted in recent years have confirmed that not only are many conventional cancer screening methods ineffective...
 Research bees stolen from scientists trying to test effects of pesticidesBy Tara Green, May 26 2011
(NaturalNews) A $3.3 million research project into colony collapse disorder (CCD), the phenomenon of honeybees mysteriously dying in droves, lost thousands of its test bees to thieves. Researchers at the Center for Neurosciences at Dundee University in Scotland, reported that the British black bees, contained in four hives, were taken on the morning of Sunday, May 8, 2011.
The monetary value of the bees, in the vicinity of $5,000-$6,000, is only part of the reason for the researchers' dismay at...
 European Union may ban plastic shopping bagsBy Neev M. Arnell, May 26 2011
(NaturalNews) Following other California cities, including San Francisco, San Jose and Santa Barbara, Long Beach City Council is on the verge of enacting a citywide ban on plastic bags. Now, the European Union may follow suit.
It could be against the law for stores in the EU to stock them or there could be a new tax to discourage their use. Either way, the EU has declared war on shopping bags and the public response is far from favorable, with the public saying it is not necessary, is not going...

 The dangers of artificial food colorsBy Neev M. Arnell, May 25 2011
(NaturalNews) "Should the FDA be so permissive with chemicals in food, suspect or not, that amount to little more than marketing?" asks The Daily Green (http://www.thedailygreen.com/healthy-eating/eat-safe/artificial-food-colorings-health-effects). This question is particularly pertinent considering that colorings have not always proven to be harmless.
Citrus Red 2, Red 3, Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Blue 2 and Green 3, --which include some of the most commonly used artificial food colorings...

 Hospitals mislead patients about benefits of robotic surgeryBy Neev M. Arnell, May 25 2011
(NaturalNews) A majority of the estimated four in 10 hospital websites in the United States that publicize the use of robotic surgery, tout the superiority of robotic surgery over conventional surgery, despite a lack of scientific evidence to support that claim, a new Johns Hopkins study finds.
The promotional materials on the hospital websites overestimate the benefits of surgical robots, largely ignore the risks and are strongly influenced by the product's manufacturer, according to the report...
 Two new studies warn -- medical doctors may be hazardous to your healthBy S. L. Baker, May 25 2011
(NaturalNews) Today's doctors-in-training are learning how to think critically and clearly about the need for -- and potential dangers of -- any drugs they prescribe. And surgeons only operate if they are physically and mentally able to make sure they will not be putting their patient in any danger, right? Unfortunately, two new papers show that those assumptions are wrong. In fact, they reveal critical reasons why mainstream medicine can be a danger to your health and even threaten your life.

Nicole Lurie, the assistant secretary for preparedness and response at the DHHS, recently requested...
 TSA agents grope high school students at prom security checkpointBy Mike Adams, May 24 2011
(NaturalNews) It seems like it was just last week that I warned NaturalNews readers about how the TSA was expanding to become the new Nazi Secret Police of America. Actually, it was just last week (http://www.naturalnews.com/032458_TSA_bomb_drill.html). And now, over the weekend, the TSA confirmed exactly what I was warning about: They have expanded their security checkpoint pat-down searches to high school prom night, which now involves TSA perverts feeling up high school girls in their formal dresses...
 Your help needed to pass FRAC Act and hold drilling companies accountable for water pollutionBy Ethan A. Huff, May 24 2011
(NaturalNews) In response to massive public outcry, the US Senate has finally reintroduced the Fracturing Responsibility and Awareness of Chemicals (FRAC) Act, or S. 587, which will once again hold natural gas drilling companies responsible for the environmental pollution they cause when fracturing and drilling for fuel.
For years, the natural gas industry has gotten away with polluting rivers, streams, lakes, groundwater supplies, and farm land with "fracking" chemicals -- and all without consequence...
 Are BPA alternatives potentially just as dangerous as Bisphenol-A?By Neev M. Arnell, May 24 2011
(NaturalNews) The Atlantic recently posed the obvious but, as yet, unasked question: What is in the new BPA-free plastics that are now flooding the market, and how do we know they are safe? (http://www.theatlantic.com/life/archive/2011/04/beyond-bpa-could-bpa-free-products-be-just-as-unsafe/237246/)
Bisphenol A, more commonly called BPA, is the toxic chemical that largely comprised polycarbonate plastics. BPA does eventually break down, but because products containing it were--and still are--so...

 Fructose: what is it, and why is it in everything?By Kshamica S. Nimalasuriya MD, MPH, May 24 2011
(NaturalNews) We all know fructose is some type of sweetener, we see it listed on so many food labels: ketchup, soft-drinks, energy drinks, cereals, cookies, breads, crackers, ice creams, canned soups, and more. And most of us think fructose has something to do with fruits. So in some way it's okay; it's just some sweetener thing derived from natural fruit sugar.
But it's not. Well it's half true. Fructose is one of the main sugars from fruits, the others being sucrose and glucose, so that's true...
 The false claims of GMOsBy Ethan A. Huff, May 24 2011
(NaturalNews) For years, biotechnology companies have been making lofty, unsubstantiated claims that genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) are the cure for world hunger, and that without them, people will starve to death. But according to many agricultural scientists and researchers, such claims have absolutely no basis in reality, and are nothing more than deceitful marketing. One researcher from the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) recently compared the nonsensical industry rhetoric in favor...

 Global food inflation hits hemp seed, coconut oil and other superfoods: Here's why it's happeningBy Mike Adams, May 23 2011

 A landmark new study out of Canada exposes yet another lie propagated by the biotechnology industry, this time blowing a hole in the false claim that a certain genetic pesticide used in the cultivation of genetically-modified (GM) crops does not end up in the human body upon consumption.
