The aloe vera miracle: A natural medicine for cancer, cholesterol, diabetes, inflammation, IBS, and other health conditions Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

It also demonstrated a lower rate of leukemia, which is an interesting finding given that so many children today still eat hot dogs laced with cancer-causing sodium nitrite (a chemical added by junk food companies to turn the meat red), and sodium nitrite causes leukemia and brain tumors, among other cancers. You can read more about the dangers of sodium nitrite by clicking here. Aloe vera ends acid reflux disease Acid reflux isn't really a disease. The drug companies just call it that to convince everyone that they need to take medications to ease the symptoms.

Animals are smarter than humans when it comes to feeding their children (opinion) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Most parents don't even make any real effort to follow nutritional discipline at home -- they simply buy whatever their children saw advertised on television, caving in to the all-powerful "nag factor" that junk food companies fully exploit when marketing to children. As a result, human children are the least healthy youngsters of any species on the planet. Baby dolphins are healthier than baby humans, for example, and they are born with healthier nervous systems, fewer toxins and a lot more common sense.

The health care reform legislation that Congress should pass, but won't Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

When Big Tobacco says it's running ads to dissuade children from smoking, do you really think it wants children to not smoke? junk food companies work the same way. They know that the earlier they can get kids addicted to sugar, salt and MSG, the more those kids will buy of the same junk food when they grow up and have little chemically-damaged children of their own. So I say we stop the ads. Stop promoting disease-causing substances to our children. It's only common sense.

Department of Agriculture) amount to little more than a national marketing campaign for grain processors, junk food companies, dairy farms and meat producers. It's no surprise, of course, since those are the exact same organizations that strong-armed the USDA into creating the "My Pyramid" nutritional guidelines in the first place. Instead of, "My Pyramid," it should be called, "My Pro-Business Guide To Early Disease." The document works beautifully if you want to keep a nation obese, depressed, diabetic and diseased.

The Food-Mood Solution: All-Natural Ways to Banish Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Stress, Overeating, and Alcohol and Drug Problems--and Feel Good Again Jack Challem See book keywords and concepts

Many other people wield far greater power in politics, eating habits, and economics than we do, and we are no match for the billions of dollars that junk food companies spend on marketing and advertising. Yet we can make a difference as individuals. How can we do this? I have long believed that positive, long-lasting social change—characterized by greater patience, tolerance, and fairness—is best accomplished on a grassroots, one-to-one basis.

Health care economics: Diseases are too profitable to prevent or cure Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

We continue to allow the drug companies and junk food companies to exploit consumers and brainwash people into thinking they need chemicals or junk foods in order to be healthy, feel good or be popular. We have a system that is dominated by evil industries that really have no purpose other than to generate profits. These are the food, drug, cosmetics and chemical industries, primarily. Doctors are often trapped in the system, too We also have a medical industry that is, in some ways, helpless to do anything in response to all these problems.

Disease Economy: How the United States economy runs on "treating" chronic disease Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

They work for pharmaceutical companies, and they work for junk food companies and medical facilities. We have relatively few people who are healers. We've got to change that ratio so that we have fewer health breakers and more health healers in this nation. That's why I'm very happy to see the rising popularity of massage therapists, herbalists, nutritionists, acupuncturists and naturopathic physicians -- people who are true healers. That's what we've got to do in this country to turn things around.

You stop funding these drug companies, junk food companies, toxic personal-care product manufacturing companies, pesticide companies and petroleum companies. You stop giving them your money. You starve them of economic growth by voting with your dollars. You go somewhere else. You buy food from organic farms at your local food co-op or farmer's market. You buy honest personal care products made with natural ingredients, like Dr. Bronner's soap. You reduce your dependence on fuels. You start riding a bicycle rather than firing up your car all the time.

CounterThink Roundup: The Chinese currency blame game and corporate ethics in America (satire) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

There's plenty of evil right here at home, from junk food companies who knowingly use ingredients that harm children, to megalomaniacal companies like Monsanto, which apparently wants to own and control the entire world food supply (and all the patents on all the seeds and animals, too). You wanna grill some evil corporations? Start with the big sugar producers, who still receive millions of dollars in government subsidies thanks to wartime emergency measures enacted during World War II.

Eye-opening documentary "The Corporation" reveals the true evils behind some Big Business companies Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

For example, junk food companies externalize the costs of health care associated with the long-term consumption of their products. They sell products to consumers, then consumers eat the products, get diseased, have long-term healthcare costs, loss of quality of life and possibly require huge surgical procedures and so on, but these costs are not borne by the corporation, they are borne by the consumers; the people.

Where's the health in health care reform? Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

If we allow junk food companies to keep marketing to children, if we allow our schools to be infiltrated by all these foods that promote disease and learning disabilities and aggressive behavior in young children, then we are doomed as a nation. We really are. We're heading down the path of self destruction and we won't be the first nation to go down in history as one that imploded. America could fall, simply from bad health You might recall that the Roman Empire did sort of the same thing. It's amazing what a bit of heavy metal in the plumbing will do for a city.

Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health and How to Fight Back Michele Simon See book keywords and concepts

No matter how hard the soda and junk food companies try to position themselves as being part of the solution, the truth is they care more about the health of their own bottom lines than that of children. Nowhere is this reality more evident than with school nutrition policy. Especially disturbing is how corporations such as Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are promoting their educational programs in the classroom (as described in Chapter 2) while also fighting to keep peddling their unhealthy products in the hallways. Much is at stake in the battle over school food.

Consumption of soft drinks and high-fructose corn syrup linked to obesity and diabetes Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

They're afraid that junk food companies and fast-food companies (and especially soft drink manufacturers) are going to be blamed for the nation's obesity crisis in the same way big tobacco companies are blamed for lung cancer. And it's sort of hard to tell where most doctors are going to fall on this issue. It wasn't too long ago when doctors were being paid by cigarette companies to actually endorse cigarettes.

Low-carb vs. low-fat diet debate distracts from the real weight loss solution Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

The mainstream press depends on revenues from food manufacturing companies, including junk food companies and soft drink companies that sell products strongly correlated with the development of chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis and obesity. Thus, the business of selling disease-promoting, obesity-encouraging foods is extremely profitable to everyone in the industry. To openly discuss the strategy of moving away from processed, manufactured foods would alienate most advertisers who support these information publishers, and it would drain profits from grocery stores as well.
