By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola According to the latest statistics,1 38 percent of American adults were obese in 2014 — an increase of 3 percent compared to 2012. A decade ago, in 2004, about 32 percent of adults fell in the obese category. While many still consider obesity primarily a cosmetic issue, the health ramifications of obesity are indeed severe. The fact that 1 in 5 U.S. deaths is now related to obesity really drives home that point. Over the years, researchers have investigated the notion that you can be overweight yet still be metabolically healthy; but …read more [More]
By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Genes are often thought of as a constant in the health equation; something you inherited from your mother and father and were more or less “stuck” with for the rest of your life. This, however, is selling yourself, and your genes, short. While your genome, or the assembly of your DNA, does not change, your epigenome does — in response to a variety of factors, not the least of which is your diet. As explained by the National Human Genome Research Institute:1 “The epigenome is made up of chemical compounds and …read more Read [More]

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Dr. Maya Shetreat-Klein, a pediatric neurologist in New York and an instructor at New York Medical College, had a frightening experience that is becoming all too common among parents today. After her son turned 1 year old, he began experiencing wheezing, rashes and signs of delayed cognitive development. After visiting multiple doctors she found an allergist who uncovered her son’s severe allergy to soy. Returning her son to health meant removing soy foods from their diet, so she eliminated processed foods and set out to reconnect with nature.1 The journey led her to write [More]
By Christina Sarich Want a round of Round Up with your beer? The German beer industry is in shock after finding that 14 different popular beer brands have traces of the ‘probably’ carcinogenic herbicide, glyphosate – an ingredient found in Monsanto’s best-selling weed killer, Round Up. Germany’s Agricultural minster is playing down the risks in order to save one of the countries’ best-selling exports. Glyphosate levels were as high as 30 micrograms per liter, even in beer that is supposed to be brewed from only water, malt, and hops. This finding by the Munich Environmental Institute calls into question the [More]

By Geary Andrew It’s an old fashioned American drink made with apple cider vinegar, ginger, and molasses, honey, or maple syrup which was originally made to help refresh farmers and others working outside in the sun all day. Switchel was viewed as a healthy thirst-quenching drink back during the colonial era, when sports drinks weren’t around to replenish electrolytes in the body. Switchel is not only hydrating, but also energizing. It will give you that electrolyte boost better than any pricey energy drink or soda. It’s known as a health tonic that boosts the immune system, too. And there’s a [More]
By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola When I was in medical school more than 32 years ago, the incidence of autism was 1 in 10,000. Today, the incidence has climbed to less than 1 in 50, according to CDC statistics.1 Projections from reputable experts suggest that within 10 to 20 years, HALF of all children will have some form of autistic disorder. While there’s a strong component of increased awareness, which means more children are being diagnosed, this still cannot account for the exponential increase in autism incidence. How can a culture continue to thrive if every other child has [More]

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide, was once used only sparingly. It had to be, as the herbicide kills basically any plant it touches. This meant that although it killed many weeds, farmers couldn’t safely apply it near their crops, lest they risk killing off their crops as well. It was only used where farmers wanted to kill all vegetation, such as between the rows in orchards or in industrial yards. This all changed in 1996, when Monsanto’s so-called “Roundup Ready,” genetically engineered …read more Read more here: mercola

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola If you have trouble sleeping, it could be a sign of an underlying health condition, including one you might not immediately associate with sleep problems — type 2 diabetes. Sleep difficulties such as insomnia affect your circadian rhythm, which in turn is regulated by hormones. Many of the same hormones that affect your circadian rhythm also affect your metabolism and blood sugar control, which may explain why insomnia is a risk factor for diabetes (and the opposite also holds true in that diabetes is a …read more Read more here: mercola     
By Lynn Griffith The human body contains 20-28 milligrams of magnesium. Over 50 percent of this magnesium is stored in the skeletal system. Magnesium is necessary for over 300 enzymatic reactions. A deficiency of magnesium can result in insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, coronary heart disease, osteoporosis and possibly cancer. (1) Over 300 enzymatic reactions are dependent upon magnesium! A study from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that higher intakes of dietary magnesium were associated with lower risk of colorectal cancer. Results from the study found that for every 100 mg increase in magnesium intake, the risk of colorectal [More]

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola The average American adult eats about 12 pounds of carrots a year, making them one of the most popular root vegetables in the U.S. (even though that works out to only about one cup per week). Carrots were originally grown in central Asian and Middle Eastern countries, but they were viewed as more of a medicinal herb than a food. Early carrots (some believe they may even date back to early Egypt) were not orange. Instead, they came in a variety of colors like purple, white, …read more Read more here: mercola     
By Admin – Orissa by Alliance for Natural Health – USA …plus other GMO updates. Federal and State-based Action Alerts! A recent USDA report acknowledging the spread of genetically engineered alfalfa into the wild is just further proof of what natural health advocates have known for a long time: that genetically engineered crops cannot “coexist” with traditional, organic agriculture. The report details the findings of a USDA team that analyzed three areas where alfalfa is grown: California, Idaho, and Washington. Of the over 400 areas the researchers studied, over a quarter (27%) contained GE alfalfa with Monsanto’s Roundup Ready-resistant gene. [More]

By Christina Sarich First the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) deemed glyphosate, the main component in herbicides such as Round Up, a ‘probable carcinogen.’ Then, California’s EPA announced that glyphosate-products would adopt a cancer label. Now, France’s Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) suggests that glyphosate is likely a category 2 carcinogen, meaning it is cancerous to human beings. ANSES believes the classification of glyphosate should be rapidly reviewed by the European Chemicals Agency. Specifically in question within Round Up’s formulation is a co-formulant used in many glyphosate preparations called tallowamine. [More]
By Julie Fidler Going to the bathroom has deep meaning in the Netherlands – now that its first “poop bank” has opened. The Dutch Donor Feces Bank (NDFB) is open for business at the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC), bringing new reason and meaning to relieving oneself. The bank was set up in an effort to reduce the prevalence of infection by Clostridium difficile, or C. diff, bacteria in the human digestive tract. There are about 3,000 reported C. diff cases in the Netherlands each year, often occurring after a course of strong antibiotics to treat other illnesses. In about [More]
