By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Plastic products are made of a number of different chemicals, some of which are known to act as endocrine disruptors. These chemicals are similar in structure to natural sex hormones and interfere with the normal functioning of those hormones. They may be found in fast foods, processed and boxed foods and even those marketed as organic.1 One class of chemicals, phthalates, are widely used to make plastic more flexible, such as your shower curtain, food packaging and vinyl gloves. They can also be found in household cleaners, cosmetics and personal care products. Although intended

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola In a study published in The Lancet,1 researchers called air pollution the “largest environmental cause of disease and premature death in the world today.” More than 9 million premature deaths were caused by air pollution in 2015, nearly 16 percent of deaths worldwide. This was three times more deaths than attributed to tuberculosis, malaria and AIDS combined. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 92 percent of the world breathe polluted air,2 and air pollution is a major contributor to lung and respiratory infections, heart disease and cancer.

By Julie Fidler A Mediterranean diet, one of the healthiest eating patterns in the world, can lower the risk of stroke, especially in women, according to a new study.

Lead researcher Dr. Phyo Myint, a clinical chair of medicine at the University of Aberdeen School of Medicine in Scotland, said: “Simple changes in dietary habits may bring a substantial benefit regarding reducing stroke, which remains one of the leading causes

By Sharon Thomas, staff writer (Naturalhealth365) Poor kidney function is often associated with an inability of the kidneys to properly filter out waste. And, make no mistake, this condition can progress to irreversible end-stage kidney disease – for which the only effective treatment is dialysis or a kidney transplant. Unfortunately, conventionally-speaking, most people remain uninformed about how a proper diet and early intervention can improve kidney function – slowing (and even reversing) the progression of kidney disease. Now, a just-published report highlights the connection between the nation’s “graying” population and the ever-increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disease. Let’s take a

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola A new study confirms (again) that whole-fat dairy is not associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease as has been asserted for more than 60 years. The evidence is overwhelming that consuming whole fats can be an important part of maintaining optimal health and actually fights heart disease and other diseases prevalent today rather than causing them. The Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study1 was published in Lancet, one of the world’s most prestigious medical journals, and gives one cause to second-guess the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans2 set forth by the U.S.

By Mike Barrett Plastic pollution is so prevalent that there’s nary a place on earth that is untouched by it, and the problem goes far beyond unsightly beaches and parks. A new study has found that flying insects contribute to plastic contamination by eating microplastics in polluted waters and carrying them through the air. Microplastics – pieces of plastic less than 5 millimeters in size – remain in the bodies of mosquitoes and other waterborne insects, even after they become adults and take wing, according to researchers in the U.K. The findings raise concerns that birds and other animals that

Every individual has a specific blood group inherited from your parents in much the same way you inherit other characteristics, such as eye color.
