(Natural News) Statistics indicate that around a quarter of all adults have a condition known as metabolic syndrome, a cluster of risk factors associated with an elevated risk of Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and stroke. The risk of metabolic syndrome increases with age, and lifestyle issues like not exercising enough, smoking and carrying extra […]

(Natural News) In an exciting new development, scientists from the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine have found what they term the Achilles’ Heel of cancerous tumors. According to a study published in Nature Cell Biology, activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) could be the key to conquering cancer. While millions of our body’s cells […]

(Natural News) Celiac disease affects around 1 in 100 people around the world, including millions of Americans. Experts estimate that around 80 percent of patients with celiac disease remain undiagnosed.
