By Mike Barrett The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has banned the use of 7 synthetic food additives used to mimic natural flavors like mint and cinnamon. [1] You’ve probably never heard of benzophenone, ethyl acrylate, methyl eugenol, myrcene, pulegone, or pyridine, because food manufacturers are permitted to label them as “artificial flavors.” But none of these additives will ever be used in food products again, though the FDA is giving manufacturers time to remove them from the food supply. The move follows a petition brought by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), the Center for Food Safety (CFS),

About two weeks prior to harvest of grain crops like wheat, oats and barley, glyphosate is sprayed onto the crop, which accelerates the drying process, allowing for earlier …read more Source: mercola

For years, the general public has been lead to think that we need these products to reduce the threat of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Yet, these health issues continue to plague our society.

The mass medication of citizens via water fluoridation may be one of the greatest crimes against humanity taking place today — and it’s also one of the most under-reported scandals, too. Daring to speak out about the real facts on fluoride will get you stamped as a “crazy conspiracy theorist,” just like questioning vaccine safety or talking about the dangers of glyphosate will get you a fast-pass to being labeled “anti-science.” But, even though the cost may be great, a few brave souls are still willing to speak out about the health hazards foisted upon us by the powers

Although there are many theories surrounding chai’s origin, most information traces the drink’s roots to India.
