(Natural News) Monsanto’s Roundup weed killer product – with its primary ingredient, glyphosate – is the world’s most popular herbicide. For decades, despite controversy raging about its safety, farms, school grounds, parks and other areas have been doused in this toxic chemical. Agencies responsible for protecting the health of the public, including the Environmental Protection Agency […]

(Natural News) Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition caused by either a stressful, frightening or distressful event, or a traumatic experience. It often manifests in a cluster of symptoms, which include alterations in a person’s mood, arousal and cognition; the avoidance of factors that cause distress; and the re-experiencing of traumatic events through memories […]

(Natural News) The gut microbiome has been an area of increasing interest to researchers recently, and a new study has pointed to a potentially important link to chronic pain. In the study, which was published in the journal Pain, researchers looked at patients suffering from fibromyalgia. People with this condition experience chronic pain along with […]

(Natural News) Researchers at Michigan Technological University have developed a novel device that captures carbon dioxide (CO?) and converts it into useful products. The device, which the team presented at the Society of Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration’s annual meeting in Denver, works just like a carbon scrubber to remove CO? from flue gas emitted from power plants. But unlike other scrubbers, which […]

(Natural News) In this study, an international team of researchers investigated whether honey alone or in combination with other ingredients can treat bronchial asthma. Their findings were published in the Journal of Medicinal Food. Bronchial asthma is one of the most common chronic inflammatory diseases. The use of complementary and alternative medicine to treat bronchial asthma […]

(Natural News) In this study, researchers from The Catholic University of Korea investigated the effects of fucoidan on lipid accumulation, lipolysis and glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 cells. Their findings were published in the journal Nutrition Research. Fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide found in brown seaweed. It has been shown to reduce blood glucose levels and improve insulin […]

(Natural News) A new study, published in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, found that giving your brain a tiny zap can help stimulate parts of it that deal with memory, specifically the prefrontal cortex. Participants of this study were around 15.4 percent more likely to recall fuzzy memories, according to co-author of the study Jesse Rissman, assistant professor at […]

(Natural News) As people grow older, they become more prone to developing cataracts that can impair their vision or even cause blindness. To prevent this, experts suggest eating more foods rich in vitamins and carotenoids. These nutrients help prevent the onset of age-related cataracts. Earlier studies found links between the consumption of these nutrients and a reduced risk of […]

(Natural News) Fermented foods like yogurt and kimchi are popular health foods. While many studies have found that they offer plenty of health benefits, the science behind how they do so is not well-understood. But a recent study published in PLOS Genetics revealed that a cell receptor called HCA3 is key to understanding how fermented foods benefit human health. […]
