(Natural News) We’ve known for several years that Chinese authorities collect DNA samples from their people, but they’ve recently ramped up their efforts in a way that is concerning observers around the world. A report by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute shows that they’ve expanded their genetic surveillance program beyond Tibet, Xinjiang and other areas […]

(Natural News) Moderate coffee consumption has been proven to be good for the heart. But according to researchers at the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil, excessive consumption of this healthy drink increases high blood pressure risk in people who are genetically predisposed to the condition. In their study, which appeared in the journal Clinical Nutrition, they looked […]

(Natural News) A recent study, presented in the European Society of Cardiology Congress 2019, revealed that lifestyle habits play a more decisive role in early coronary artery disease than genetics. “Genetics are an important contributor to premature heart disease but should not be used as an excuse to say it is inevitable,” said Dr. Joao A. Sousa, […]

(Natural News) A new study published in the journal Cell reports the effects of a genetic mutation in SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. Conducted by researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory, Duke University and the University of Sheffield in the U.K., it suggests that a variation in SARS-CoV-2’s genome improved the virus’s ability to infect human cells and helped it become the dominant […]

(Natural News) The Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) has now infected over 5.6 million people worldwide, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. As experts continue to study the contagion, some have suggested that there is more than one strain of the coronavirus.

(Natural News) In this study, Greek researchers investigated the effects of the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) on the clinical, biochemical and inflammatory profile of patients with simple liver steatosis. Their results were published in the Journal of Medicinal Food. Diet is a modifiable key factor and target for the prevention or management of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). […]

(Natural News) mRNA vaccines — also called “genetic vaccines” — arise from an innovative biotechnology approach that turns the body’s cells into molecular factories to produce proteins that activate a pathogen-specific immune response. The technology holds great promise but also presents significant risks which are not yet fully known. Summary of what’s in this article: […]

(Natural News) People who suffer from chronic pain often report somatic awareness, a condition marked by heightened sensitivity to a variety of sensations and symptoms. These non-specific symptoms, which often include headaches, sore joints, itchy skin, constipation or shortness of breath, have no physiological explanation; nevertheless, they are enough to cause emotional distress to those who experience […]
