Reduce Exposure to Dangerous Bisphenol A

By Sheryl Walters, March 18 2009
(NewsTarget) Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical that has been used for years in the production of plastic and epoxy resins. The plastic it is used to produce is used for food and beverage containers, CDs, DVDs, sports equipment, cars, and thousands of other products.

Stethoscopes Infected with Deadly Bacteria

By Sherry Baker, March 18 2009
(NewsTarget) You've probably heard some horror stories about bacterial infections, including the "flesh eating" kind, that are resistant to broad-spectrum antibiotics. In fact, MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) infections have been on the rise over the last decade, occurring primarily in hospitals, nursing homes and other healthcare settings. It turns out, however, that if you need emergency medical care, you could pick up a MRSA infection before you even get to the hospital. The...

Justice Ginsburg Should be Removed from the U.S. Supreme Court Following "Chemo Brain" Effects of Chemotherapy (opinion)

By Mike Adams, March 18 2009
(NaturalNews) Following surgery for pancreatic cancer, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is scheduled to undergo a round of so-called "precautionary chemotherapy" just to be sure her cancer is gone. No one has apparently told her that neither surgery nor chemotherapy are cures for cancer, and such cancers will inevitably return unless the original conditions causing the cancer are reversed. The far more worrisome issue here, however, is that chemotherapy destroys human brain cells, causing the deterioration...

Drug for Heart Disease Causes Heart Attack and Stroke

By Sherry Baker, March 18 2009
(NewsTarget) According to a study published in the March 18 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), a drug that had looked promising in preventing atherosclerosis (the process in which plaque builds up in the inner lining of the arteries leading to cardiovascular events) in animal tests just doesn`t work in humans. What`s more, the medication appears to be downright dangerous. Instead of preventing cardiac problems, it increases the incidence of heart attacks and strokes...

By Sherry Baker, March 17 2009

Lifestyle Changes Decrease Inflammation

By Sheryl Walters, March 17 2009
(NewsTarget) When most people hear the word "inflammation" they think of the swelling and redness that accompanies an injury such as a sprained ankle.

Systemic inflammation increases the risk of cancer, hypertension, heart disease, gastrointestinal problems, and many other health conditions. In fact, many anti-aging experts believe that inflammation is the greatest cause of premature aging...

Paylean: Drug in Conventionally Raised Meat Linked to Cancer and Heart Disease

By Barbara L. Minton, March 17 2009
(NewsTarget) Up until recently, U.S. pork producers were worried about tightening profit margins across their industry. Now many of them are smiling, and it's all because of Paylean, a drug that is netting them more cash for each hog they sell. Consumers of pork products may not be too happy though, since most of the pork products they buy at conventional grocery stores and restaurants are chocked full of Paylean, a chemical that has been shown to have the potential for causing cancer and cardiovascular...

Stress while Awaiting Biopsy Results Adversely Affects Health

By Reuben Chow, March 16 2009

How to Wipe Your Mind Clean of Health Wisdom and Plug Yourself Back Into the Mainstream Matrix

By Mike Adams, March 14 2009
(NaturalNews) If you talk to many people about health, medications, toxic chemicals and food, you'll quickly come to realize that most people have very little knowledge of reality in these areas. And yet, ignorance is often bliss because these people can just wolf down a cheeseburger, get vaccine shots, drink fluoridated water and take all sorts of toxic chemical medications without even a hint of concern (that is, until a few years later when all the toxic build-up starts to kill them). So as...

Negative Views of Old Age Translate to Poorer Health

By Reuben Chow, March 14 2009
(NewsTarget) It is often said that we are what we eat. In reality, we are what we think and feel, too. Add that to the fact that ageist mentalities are still very much prevalent today, with many holding stereotypical views of elderly persons being incompetent, helpless, or even burdens, and we have a situation whereby the vast majority of people would probably dread the thought of growing old. Now, a recent study published in the journal Psychological Science has suggested that there is a degree...

Teens in Danger from Epidemic of Low Vitamin D

By Sherry Baker, March 12 2009
(NewsTarget) America's teens too often are inside glued to their computers and video games instead of playing and even working outdoors like previous generations did.
