Glyphosate residues have been found in tap water, orange juice, children’s urine, breast milk, chips, snacks, beer, wine, cereals, eggs, oatmeal, wheat products, and most conventional foods tested. It’s everywhere, in brief. As new studies continue to point to a direct link between the widely-used glyphosate herbicide and various forms of cancer, the agribusiness lobby fights ferociously to ignore or discredit evidence of human and other damage. A second US court jury case just ruled that Monsanto, now a part of the German Bayer AG, must pay $ 81 million in damages to plaintiff Edwin Hardeman who contracted non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma

By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) An epidemic has been growing around the world, one that is hardly acknowledged in the United States. It’s called chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology, or CKDu. Countless people from South America to Asia have been affected – most of them losing their lives to this so-called “mysterious” disease. In El Salvador alone, it is now a leading cause of death among men – more than other serious diseases like leukemia, AIDS, HIV and diabetes combined. So, what’s really going on here? Modern medicine fails to properly address chronic kidney disease? Little has been

The momentum behind a move to plant-based and vegan diets for the good of the planet is commendable, but risks worsening an already low intake of an essential nutrient involved in brain health, warns a nutritionist in the online journal BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & Health. To make matters worse, the UK government has failed to recommend or monitor dietary levels of this nutrient — choline — found predominantly in animal foods, says Dr. Emma Derbyshire, of Nutritional Insight, a consultancy specializing in nutrition and biomedical science. Choline is an essential dietary nutrient, but the amount produced by the liver is
