 Two Simple Ways to Avoid Weight GainBy Reuben Chow, November 28 2008
(NewsTarget) Eating too much means excessive caloric intake. Sitting too much, on the other hand, reduces caloric usage. It is thus simple common sense that both of these dietary and lifestyle habits can cause weight gain. However, two recent studies have separately shown us different aspects of how sitting and eating can be linked to weight gain. One of them adds another reason why sitting for too long can cause weight gain, while the other suggests that besides the amount we consume, eating too...

 Arsenic in Water at EPA Approved Standards Linked to Heart DiseaseBy Sherry Baker, November 24 2008
(NewsTarget) What comes to mind when you think of arsenic? For most people, it conjures up a deadly poison used by killers in fictional mystery novels and some real-life murderers, too. But the danger of this toxic substance most often comes not from some evil-doer but simply from exposure to it through our environment, including the water we drink. Unwittingly taken into the body over many years, arsenic can result in lung, bladder and skin cancers, as well as heart disease, diabetes and neurological...

The Three Stages of TruthBy Dr. Gregory Damato, Ph.D., November 24 2008
(NewsTarget) Much of the people in the western world are ostensibly living unconsciously, locked inside their own minds, too busy to break free of social norms and societal pressures. In fact, when presented with a new or different idea to a pre-existing belief, 96 percent of the population will reject the idea outright while only four percent will be open to the possibility of the inherent truth. It is because of this inability of many individuals to take in new knowledge that much of the present...

 The Sixth Species Extinction can Still be AvoidedBy Jo Hartley, November 24 2008
(NewsTarget) Human beings, having reached the 6.7 billion mark, have succeeded in modifying our environment to the point of harming the biodiversity of a wide variety of native species.

The first occurred 450 million years ago, shortly after the evolution of the first land-based plants. Four more extinctions occurred over the time between...
