 Does drinking lots of coffee really help to prevent breast cancer?By Ethan A. Huff, May 23 2011
(NaturalNews) Coffee addiction may not be the detriment to health many people think it is, according to a new study published in the journal Breast Cancer Research. Postmenopausal women over 50 who drink five or more cups of coffee every day may be as much as 57 percent less likely to develop estrogen-receptor (ER) negative tumors, say researchers from the Karolinska Institute (KI) in Sweden.
Dr. Jingmei Li and her colleagues from KI evaluated 6,000 women, some of whom drank no coffee, and others...
 USDA fines family up to four million dollars for selling bunny rabbitsBy Ethan A. Huff, May 20 2011
(NaturalNews) When the Dollarhite family of Nixa, Mo., first started raising and selling bunnies as part of a lesson to teach their teenage son about responsibility and hard work, they had no idea they would eventually meet the heavy hand of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). According to a recent article covered in Breitbart's Big Government, the USDA recently ordered the Dollarhite family to pay more than $90,000 in fines because they sold more than $500 worth of rabbits in a year -- and...
 Bill Gates pushes for 90 percent vaccination rate worldwideBy Jonathan Benson, May 22 2011
(NaturalNews) The infamous Bill Gates is on a crusade to vaccinate the entire world. In a recent speech, the Microsoft guru-turned-humanitarian put pressure on the governments of the world to "prevent four million deaths by 2015, [and] ... ten million deaths" by 2020. He believes this will happen by vaccinating at least 90 percent of the world's population.
Gates has been an outspoken proponent of vaccinations for years. His organization, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is constantly promoting...
 Why are emergency rooms disappearing across America?By J. D. Heyes, May 22 2011
(NaturalNews) The number of emergency rooms has fallen by more than one quarter over the past 20 years, yet visits have steadily risen over the same period, causing backlogs in remaining ER's that leave patients waiting sometimes for hours.
According to a first-of-its-kind study by the American Medical Association, from 1990 through 2009, the number of urban ER's fell from 2,446 to 1,779, a drop of 27 percent. The biggest reasons for the decline, the study's authors found, were market forces;...
 Sex, Lies and Pharmaceuticals - how drug companies exploit female sexual dysfunction for profitBy Daniel Erickson, May 21 2011
(NaturalNews) In the last decade, many American women have begun to question their libidos. Even though just twenty years ago, women accepted the ebbs and flows of their sex drive, something has changed. Many now hope for something to help them keep up with their partners, in the bedroom. They see their desire as falling short of what it should be. Now, for some strange reason, there is a new standard that many women feel they are falling short of.

 The Mummy's Curse: Clogged ArteriesBy Tara Green, May 21 2011
(NaturalNews) Living in the land of pharaohs, waited upon by servants and worshiping a polytheistic pantheon of gods -- the lives of wealthy ancient Egyptians seem to most of us exotic and far removed from modern civilization. However, recent research shows they shared a mundane health problem which afflicts large numbers of people today -- clogged arteries.
At a heart imaging conference in Amsterdam in May of 2011, one paper presented involved a confluence of history and modern diagnostic technology...
 Tired of compact fluorescents? Philips unveils new eco-friendly incandescent bulbBy Sharon Stone, PhD, May 21 2011
(NaturalNews) Touted by environmentalists as a more efficient and longer-lasting alternative to the incandescent bulbs, GEs compact fluorescent light bulbs save you money and energy. They last ten times longer than incandescent bulbs, and offer a choice of soft white or color options.
Consumers got on the bandwagon and bought them in droves, many lighting their entire household with these CFL's. But are they safe? Not according to recent reports. Waste industry officials and some environmental...
Governor of Idaho signs sweeping new order banning ObamacareBy J. D. Heyes, May 21 2011
(NaturalNews) In another blow to the federal healthcare "reform" monstrosity known as "Obamacare," Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter, a Republican, has signed an order banning portions of law.
State Republicans had already passed a so-called "nullification" bill, which Otter said would have been too restrictive in terms of offering state residents better choices, and opted instead to sign an executive order that he said would negate that issue.
"The (Republican) bill went further than what the authors...
 There may be a Rapture, but it won't be this SaturdayBy Mike Adams, May 20 2011
(NaturalNews) You've probably heard the news that the Biblical Rapture is supposed to happen tomorrow (Saturday), May 21, 2011. A minister from the group Family Radio Worldwide has raised a lot of attention lately, campaigning from city to city with the message that the Rapture is coming this Saturday. Those who have accepted Christ will ascend to Heaven, the narrative goes, while those who have not will be "left behind." It's all supposed to happen this Saturday.
There is truth to Minister Harold...
 Recycling not always an energy and resource saver, study findsBy Jonathan Benson, May 20 2011
(NaturalNews) A recent study conducted by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has found that remanufacturing or recycling certain products actually uses more energy than simply using new products. Published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, the findings cast doubt on the notion that remanufacturing things like old tires and used motor cores always helps to save energy and resources in the long run.

The reality of reincarnation (Opinion)By Hesh Goldstein, May 12 2011
(NaturalNews) When speaking of reincarnation we are speaking of a person transmigrating from one form of life to another form of life.
Obviously, a physical body cannot move into another physical body. So it means that after the death of one body there is something that continues to exist and it is not the material body.
At death, the person leaves the body, the body starts to decay and everybody who was relating to that person who was in that body, starts crying and gets very unhappy. Why...
 The health benefits of phytochemicalsBy Neev M. Arnell, May 20 2011
(NaturalNews) Phytonutrients, the chemicals that help plants defend against environmental challenges, such as damage from pests or ultraviolet light, appear to provide humans with protection as well. Mounting research shows their effectiveness in preventing and treating a range of conditions including everything from cancer and heart disease to diabetes and high blood pressure. But current law dictates that if anyone advertises health benefits without FDA approval, it is automatically considered...
 Transplant tourism spirals out of control as the wealthy harvest organs from the poorBy Jonathan Benson, May 20 2011
(NaturalNews) Tired of waiting for appropriate organ donors using traditional methods, patients from wealthier countries like the US are increasingly taking advantage of "transplant tourism" operations that harvest needed organs from the poor in exchange for money. Though illegal, this underground organ trade market appears to be growing, despite the fact that patients and donors often die due to infections, botched surgeries, and other complications.
A recent Bloomberg report explains that a...
 J&J recalls continue: HIV drug found to contain trace levels of dangerous fungicideBy Jonathan Benson, May 20 2011
(NaturalNews) The strange, musty odor that prompted numerous earlier recalls of Johnson & Johnson's (J&J) Tylenol and certain other drugs has turned up again, this time in the company's HIV drug Prezista. Janssen, a division of J&J, has recalled four batches of 400 mg and 600 mg dose Prezista from Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, and Austria, according to reports, and is allegedly conducting an investigation to identify the source of contamination.

 Congress to authorize perpetual war with no enemies and no endBy J. D. Heyes, May 20 2011
(NaturalNews) After the 9/11 attacks, President George W. Bush and Congress committed the nation to a "global war on terror," which - for perhaps the first time in U.S. history - the nation launched a military campaign that was aimed more against fighting an ideology rather than an army.
And today, 10 years later, the U.S. finds itself engaged in the kind of perpetual state of war that author George Orwell warned against in his novel, "1984." In the book, Orwell's fictional state of Oceania is...
 Thyroid drug increases risk of bone fractures in womenBy Reuben Claxton, May 20 2011
(NaturalNews) Hypothyroidism is a fairly common disorder, caused by low levels of thyroid hormones. With the availability of either natural hormones taken from animals, or synthetic hormones (levothyroxine), doctors now treat the disorder by replacing the missing thyroid hormones. A recent study for the British Medical Journal found that elderly people with high levels of the artificial hormone may have an increased risk of bone fracture.
Hormones secreted by the thyroid gland are critically important...
 TSA morons conduct bomb drill in Minnesota airport, but don't tell policeBy Mike Adams, May 19 2011
(NaturalNews) With their guns draw and packing live ammo, police officers at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport surrounded a man smuggling a bomb in a carry-on bag. Although details are sketchy because the TSA is trying to downplay this incident, the cops were no doubt yelling at the man to hit the floor and surrender. Had this man acted in any sort of threatening-looking way, the cops would have certainly opened fire on him.
This all took place at a TSA security checkpoint at the...
Man cured of AIDS after receiving stem cell transplantBy Jonathan Benson, May 19 2011
(NaturalNews) In what many in the mainstream media and medical community have now dubbed their first known case of cured AIDS, Timothy Ray Brown's miraculous healing from the deadly syndrome is sending shock waves throughout the world. After receiving a bone marrow stem cell transplant back in 2007, Brown inherited a genetic immunity from those stem cells that cured him of not only AIDS, but also leukemia.
Dubbed "The Berlin Patient," Brown first tested positive for HIV back in 1995. And for years...
 Prevent illness by increasing your intake of potassiumBy Ethan A. Huff, May 19 2011
(NaturalNews) High blood pressure, which afflicts roughly one-third of Americans, and heart disease, the leading cause of death in the US, are both often attributed to bad habits like excess sodium intake and poor overall diet. However, a new report released by the US Institute of Medicine suggests that potassium deficiency may also be a critical factor in these diseases, and that Americans would do well to consume more potassium-rich foods as part of their regular diets.
According to the report...

 CDC warns Americans to prepare for zombie apocalypse (really)By Mike Adams, May 19 2011
(NaturalNews) Although it may seem unbelievable, this is not a satire piece or a joke. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control, which has been deeply engaged in the fictions of Swine Flu and other so-called "pandemics," is now publicly warning Americans to prepare for a zombie apocalypse.
In a May 16th blog entry on the CDC.gov website (http://blogs.cdc.gov/publichealthmatters/2011/05/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse/), author Ali S. Khan asks the question, "Where do zombies come from and why do...
 Obama administration to approve drought-resistant GM corn that USDA says grows no better than natural cornBy Ethan A. Huff, May 19 2011
(NaturalNews) The Obama administration is actively seeking to deregulate a new variety of genetically-modified (GM) corn created by Monsanto that allegedly tolerates drought conditions better than natural varieties. However, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) says the corn is no better than natural varieties that are already on the market, and that the GM corn requires just as much water as conventional varieties.
"The reduced yield [trait] does not exceed the natural variation observed in...
 Medicare bankrupt by 2024, says governmentBy J. D. Heyes, May 19 2011
(NaturalNews) - Almost every American who has read a newspaper, watched T.V. or signed onto the Internet in the past few years knows that Medicare, one of the government's largest entitlement programs, is in financial dire straits and is heading for insolvency. What you may not know is that Medicare bankruptcy is closer than even the most pessimistic of previous estimates.

 The economic insanity of corn ethanol and governmentBy J. D. Heyes, May 19 2011
(NaturalNews) For a White House that cheerleads about its commitment to renewable clean energy, President Obama has remained committed to the suicide policy set forth during George W. Bush's administration of burning our food for fuel.
Say what you will about "green" alternatives to fossil fuels - there are some good ideas and bad; some practical and not-so-practical. It has never made much sense to chip away at our dangerous over-reliance on imported energy by burning our food supply. Given our...
 Wonder drugs (statins, blood pressure) revealed as a complete scam: Here's why they don't workBy Kaitlyn Moore, May 19 2011
(NaturalNews) Surprise! Statin, commonly referred to as the wonder drug, has come under scrutiny again for not living up to its claims.

 Drastic changes to US agriculture policy necessary for future of food, say scientistsBy Jonathan Benson, May 19 2011
(NaturalNews) The perpetuity of viable agriculture is dependent on a transformational shift in current agricultural practices, say researchers in a report recently published in the journal Science.

 Spring is in the air: Changing your diet to help lessen your allergiesBy Kshamica S. Nimalasuriya MD, MPH, May 19 2011
(NaturalNews) What's a non-allergenic diet? Well, it's a diet that decreases your level of reaction to external allergens. In other words, it's dietary changes you can make to help improve your allergies and to help reduce the itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing and wheezing.
Dairy products and sugar cause the creation of more mucus in the body. Mucus should be thin and runny to help get rid of allergens. When mucus gets thick allergens get stuck in the body instead of being cleared out which causes...
 Watermelons explode in China as farmers apply too many growth chemicals to their cropsBy Mike Adams, May 18 2011
(NaturalNews) Beyond melamine in the powdered milk and plastic in the rice, Chinese farmers have managed to achieve a little more food history with a new chemical monstrosity: Exploding watermelons.
This was accomplished by applying a chemical growth promoter to the melons. A day later, one farmer saw 180 watermelons explode. Other farmers lost up to two-thirds of their watermelon crops as the melons exploded in the field. The growth chemical used on watermelons is also used on grapes and other...
 Monsanto pesticide found to infect plants with AIDS-like diseaseBy Ethan A. Huff, May 18 2011
(NaturalNews) When Dr. Don Huber, professor emeritus at Purdue University and internationally-recognized plant pathologist, wrote a letter back in January to US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Tom Vilsack, warning him about a new mystery disease showing up primarily in genetically-modified (GM) crops, the notice fell on deaf ears.

 Indiana Supreme Court rules citizens have no right to resist cops who illegally enter their homesBy Ethan A. Huff, May 18 2011
(NaturalNews) In a shocking display of disregard for the true intent of the US Constitution, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled on Thursday in a 3-2 decision that citizens of the Hoosier state have no right to resist police officers who illegally try to enter their homes without a warrant. According to The Times of Northwest Indiana, the court decision essentially decrees that cops can enter a person's home "for any reason or no reason at all," and there is nothing that person can do to stop them while...
 Florida legislature refuses to regulate mercury in vaccinesBy Neev M. Arnell, May 18 2011
(NaturalNews) An amendment to regulate the use of mercury in vaccines was voted down in Tallahassee, Florida, May 6. The amendment would have made it illegal to buy, sell, manufacture, deliver, import, administer or distribute any vaccine that contained more than 0.3 micrograms of organic or inorganic mercury per milliliter for children younger than age 7 or pregnant women. The amendment was intended to address the concern that mercury, in the form of Thimerosal, is still used in vaccines while mercury...
