-(Natural News) Scientific evidence continues to mount indicating that humanity is on the brink of an ecological disaster thanks to the overuse of pesticides. A new report by environmentalist Dr. Rosemary Mason entitled, “Why Does Bayer Crop Science Control Chemicals in Brexit Britain?” discusses how Bayer has been holding secret meetings with members of the […] -
-(Natural News) Five of the world’s biggest pesticide companies are making billions of dollars, accounting for more than a third of their total income, from selling chemicals that pose several hazards to both human health and the environment, recent analysis reveals. A joint investigation by Unearthed, a journalism group funded by Greenpeace UK, and the […] -
-(Natural News) It’s really hard to eat healthy when you read the wrong news or can’t even remember good advice when you hear it. Some people get really motivated when they see a Youtuber who’s in great shape and has simple tips, but try to put those strategies into action while your cleansing organs are being ‘vandalized’ […] -
-(Natural News) Talk of a “catastrophic collapse of nature’s ecosystems” is not hyperbole; that’s the exact terminology used in the first global scientific review of the world’s insect populations. Overall, more than 40 percent of insect species are seeing declines, while a third are considered endangered. The extinction rate of insects is eight times that […] -
-(Natural News) Researchers warn that conventional methods for treating water can trigger chemical reactions in neonicotinoid contaminants. The resulting metabolites are proven to be far more toxic than the original “neonic” pesticides. Their newest experiment followed up on their discovery of neonicotinoids in tap water sources. The team investigated the risk of the pesticides getting exposed to chlorine-based water treatments and transforming into […] -
-(Natural News) Experts are concerned about the dramatic decline in Britain’s bee population, and given the trouble it could spell for the future food supply, it’s a matter that deserves everyone’s attention. Researchers have found that a third of Britain’s bee species are suffering declines. Another important species, hoverflies, are also under threat, and the […] -
-(Natural News) Every time you send food into your body and absorb its composition into your bloodstream, the human genes are receiving critical instructions. For instance, the cells of the human body translate the DNA sequence from the protein molecules in food, ultimately to influence human gene expression. The right balance of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, […] -
-(Natural News) Why did you make the switch to organic? If you’re like many people, one of your biggest motivators was likely avoiding toxic pesticides. Of course, you can’t actually see the pesticides on the fruits and vegetables you consume, so you might wonder sometimes if this often-expensive choice is actually paying off in terms […] -
-(Natural News) A team of animal behavior biologists from Harvard University has tracked the exact way neonicotinoids, the world’s most commonly used insecticide, affect the behavior of bees. Their study, published in Science, highlights the dangers of using this class of neuro-active chemicals, especially as they appear to have insidious effects on vital pollinators. Using […] -
-(Natural News) For more than a decade, Natural News has been warning the public about the dangers of the use of chemical pesticides and herbicides, and the genetic modification of plants to withstand the onslaught of such chemicals. In return, Natural News – like most members of the independent media – has been vilified, mocked […]
