(Natural News) A recent study published in the journal Particle and Fibre Toxicology found that tattoos can leak dangerous metals into the lymph nodes and trigger an allergic reaction. The culprit is an abrasive chemical called titanium dioxide that erodes the ink needle and sheds the metals. The European researchers initially attributed the presence of metal nanoparticles in […]

(Natural News) American researchers force-fed gold nanoparticles to a non-photosynthetic bacteria. The offering of precious metal bits gave the microbe the ability to turn light into solar fuel, reported a Nanowerk article. Moorella thermoacetica is not normally capable of photosynthesis. Researchers from the University of California Berkeley (UC Berkeley) added cadmium sulfide nanoparticles to the […]

(Natural News) Chinese researchers confirmed the presence of gold within two different plants found in the wild. An article in Science Daily stated that wild samples of ramie (Boehmeria nivea) and horseweed (Erigeron canadensis) absorbed artificial gold nanoparticles from external sources. Gold has been found in other plants before. A species of alfalfa was even […]

(Natural News) If you want to avoid Alzheimer’s disease, you should avoid areas with lots of automobiles and industries. The air pollution from cars and industrial processes, an article in Natural Health 365 stated, might make you more vulnerable to the onset of the widespread form of dementia. A recently published Lancaster University paper investigated the […]

(Natural News) Nanoparticles are seeing use in an increasingly large number of medical procedures and treatment methods. However, Irish researchers are concerned that their use might be doing far more harm than good. They report that metal nanoparticles could be damaging the DNA of developing brain cells like neurons, according to an article by NanoWerk. […]
