 Synthetic 'alpha tocopherol' vitamin E supplements linked to increased risk of prostate cancerBy Jonathan Benson, November 12 2011
(NaturalNews) Most of the prominent studies that have come out in condemnation of vitamin E over the years have failed to explain the type of vitamin E used. An extremely thorough analysis conducted by the Life Extension Foundation (LEF), however, reveals why the synthetic alpha tocopherol form of vitamin E used in these studies actually does increase cancer risk, as well as why getting the full spectrum of natural vitamin E, on the other hand, is vital for preventing cancer and maintaining vibrant...

 Coca-Cola influences Grand Canyon officials to scrap plastic bottle banBy Ethan A. Huff, November 11 2011
(NaturalNews) Plastic bottle waste represents the single largest source of litter at Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona, which is why park officials there have been working towards implementing a ban on the sale of disposable plastic bottles. But after a recent meeting with the Coca-Cola Company, which has donated more than $13 million to the National Park Foundation (NPF), the plan has now suddenly and mysteriously been scrapped.

 Don't waste your money and risk your health with "funny honey" illegally imported from ChinaBy PF Louis, November 11 2011

However, there are several honey scams that deprive you of honey's health benefits. Some of the honey posers are absolutely unhealthy.
The best is pure raw honey. Adulterated honey is mostly real honey with additives, which should be listed on the label. Then there is imitation or fake honey. It is usually a syrupy concoction...

(NaturalNews) Tack it on to the growing list of mysterious animal die-offs. Watermen working the oyster fishing business in the Maryland portion of Chesapeake Bay say the massive die-off of oysters in the area this year is due to recent hurricanes and tropical storms that have swept fresh water and debris into bay waters, but authorities are still investigating the situation.

According to real estate tracking firm Zillow.com, the number of homeowners posting negative equity rose from 26.8 percent just last quarter, to...

(NaturalNews) When a 30-something man from San Diego, Cal., recently decided to rob a local bank, he took with him an unusual, but highly-deadly, weapon.

(NaturalNews) Baxter Healthcare Corp. has announced it is recalling roughly 300,000 doses of its Preflucel influenza vaccine due to what it says is an excessive number of adverse events.

A new study out of Oslo University Hospital (OUH) in Norway confirms what we here at NaturalNews have been saying for a long time -- regular exposure to moderate levels of sunlight promotes good health through the healthy production of vitamin D in the body.

 Quinoa nutrition - why quinoa can help you lose weight and improve your healthBy Tara Green, November 8 2011
(NaturalNews) Quinoa is native to South America. The pre-Columbian Incas saw it as a sacred food, calling it chisaya mama (mother grain). They planted the first seeds of the season in religious ceremonies using golden tools. Depriving the people of quinoa was one of the means the Spanish used to conquer the Incas. In recent years, people who value nutrition have begun to appreciate the wisdom of the Incas in esteeming this food which offers a host of health benefits.

 Psychotropic medication causes psychosis, illness, and deathBy PF Louis, November 10 2011
(NaturalNews) Psychiatry has gone from talk therapy to writing a prescription for drugs. This has increased the profits of Big Pharma, attracted patients looking for magic fixes, and has legitimized psychiatry as a medical science. But is it really medical science? There is more mental illness now than ever, much of it exacerbated or even caused by prescribed medications.

 Navy vet faces eviction for flying Old Glory?By J. D. Heyes, November 10 2011
(NaturalNews) You might have thought the issue of free speech was settled long ago after the Revolutionary War - but that is wrong. These days, speech must be "politically correct" in order to be free, and that standard applies to our nation's military veterans as well, those men and women who put their lives on the line in order to protect the very right they are often denied.
A 70-year-old man who served in the U.S. Navy in the 1960s faces a tough choice: adhering to his tradition of flying...
Examine constipation conundrumsBy Paul Fassa, November 10 2011
(NaturalNews) Constipation plagues people of all ages. Sometimes it's temporary and easily corrected. But when it leans toward chronic, all sorts of other health issues can arise.

 Shock finding: More than 75 percent of all 'honey' sold in grocery stores contains no honey at all, by definition (Updated)By Ethan A. Huff, November 8 2011
(NaturalNews) Just because those cute little bear-shaped bottles at the grocery store say "honey" on them does not necessarily mean that they actually contain honey. A comprehensive investigation conducted by Food Safety News (FSN) has found that the vast majority of so-called honey products sold at grocery stores, big box stores, drug stores, and restaurants do not contain any pollen, which means they are not real honey.
For the investigation, Vaughn Bryant, one of the nation's leading melissopalynologists...
 Microwave containers leaching toxins into food at alarming ratesBy S. D. Wells, November 9 2011
(NaturalNews) Microwaving food inside containers made of plastic, cellophane, cardboard and styrofoam may leach toxins into the food and increases the levels of carcinogens being consumed. Since most containers do not visibly melt or get hot, consumers have the false notion that the synthetic boxes and wrappers are not releasing toxins, but new research shows they are, and at levels that are alarming.
Consumers are guaranteeing a triple dose of poison when they buy processed food (which contains...
State Department uses taxpayer money to push GMOs in other countriesBy Ethan A. Huff, November 9 2011
(NaturalNews) It is no secret that the vast majority of subsidized corn, soy, canola, and cotton grown in the US is of genetically-modified (GM) origin. But it has now been revealed that the US government is also using millions of taxpayer dollars to subsidize the promotion of GMOs across the globe as well.
The administration of so-called "change" has actually taken the previous Bush Administration's promotion of GMOs to a whole new level. Rather than push for mandatory labeling of GMOs like he...
 Prostate cancer treatments spur cancer to growBy Sherry Baker, November 9 2011
(NaturalNews) When men with advanced prostate cancer are treated with hormone therapy, the cancer usually stops growing for a year, maybe two. But then the disease often begins to grow again, and mainstream doctors have few if any options left to try to help.
So why did the hormone treatment work for a while and then stop? According to findings recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the explanation may be unexpectedly simple: the very drugs given to men to fight...
 Lasting weight loss comes from health and nutrition not 'diet drinks' or 'diet foods'By Tara Green, November 9 2011
(NaturalNews) Pop culture is full of dietary advice, usually focused on short-term weight loss. Often the emphasis on calories and fat content in food causes people to eat unhealthy to lose weight. The same as they did to gain the extra pounds in the first place. They simply replace one type of unhealthy food habit with another. Here are some common-sense, health-wise tips to help you gain perspective on diet and nutrition and lose weight naturally.

 The disinformation myths against homeopathyBy Dana Ullman, November 9 2011
(NaturalNews) Homeopathic medicine is at present one of the leading alternative therapies practiced by physicians in Europe (particularly France, Germany, UK, and Italy) and Asia (especially on the Indian subcontinent)(EU Commission, 1997; Prasad, 2007). Since homeopathy's development as a medical specialty in the early 1800s, it has been a leading alternative to orthodox medicine internationally, and it has posed an ongoing threat to the scientific, philosophical, and economics of conventional medical...
Third-world America: Michigan city cuts power, removes street lights due to inability to pay electric billBy Ethan A. Huff, November 9 2011
(NaturalNews) In response to financial problems, some US cities are choosing to cut basic public services like trash collection, fire and police forces, and road repair just to stay afloat. But one city in Michigan has decided to cut its power instead, which has left more than 11,000 local residents without street lights.
The Associated Press (AP) reports that Highland Park, Mich., a small city embedded within the heart of Detroit, was unable to pay its roughly $4 million electric bill this past...
The bioenergetic basis of illness (part II)By Larry Malerba, DO, November 9 2011
(NaturalNews) In Part I we discussed how some of the energy of a moving car is transferred to the persons in the vehicle after a crash. Thus, we can conceptualize whiplash, for example, as more than just physical trauma since it also manifests as a result of energy becoming locked, so to speak, in the neck muscles of an accident victim. Similarly, the "shock" of the accident can precipitate panic attacks, which can be understood as energy lodged in the emotional body (or astral body) of an individual...
 In 'universal' flu shot push, medical industry admits current flu shots are uselessBy Ethan A. Huff, November 8 2011
(NaturalNews) The medical community is in the process of unveiling a "universal" influenza vaccine that it claims will prevent all flu strains with a single jab. The only problem is that, in the process, the system has inadvertently admitted that current flu shots are medically useless because they fail to target the correct flu strain in many cases, and they do not stimulate a natural flu-fighting immune response even when the strain is a match.
A recent report by CBS 11 News in Dallas / Fort...

 Study suggests 'green' biofuels are more environmentally harmful than fossil fuelsBy Jonathan Benson, November 8 2011
(NaturalNews) New research comparing the environmental effects of "green" biofuel to those brought about by traditional fossil fuel has revealed some shocking findings. Rather than reduce the overall carbon load and protect the environment as previously believed, biofuel derived from palm oil may actually be more environmentally harmful than fossil fuel.
Upon conducting a comprehensive review of emissions created by oil palm plantations, a team from the University of Leicester (UL) in the UK found...
Japan's radioactive cars selling at auctions without noticeBy S. D. Wells, November 8 2011
