By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola One way your cells communicate with each other is through the release of tiny “bubbles,” known as extracellular vesicles (EVs). These tiny cells are about the size of bacteria and viruses, and they’re only visible using an electron microscope. For many years researchers believed EVs were carrying biological debris made up of various proteins and genetic material. It’s now known EVs have a much more important role, acting as ferries to send important messages to other cells. Now a new study using roundworms has added more insights into how these cellular messengers work. Extracellular

After telling Santa what he wanted for Christmas, Landon ran back a second time to tell him a secret: Landon has autism, and he was worried it would land him on the “naughty” list. Landon admitted he gets in trouble at school because his teachers and classmates don’t understand autism, and

In the U.K., for instance, an estimated 25 million work or school days are lost each year due to migraine headaches alone. Even in the U.S., most of those suffering from migraines were dependent on over-the-counter medications for relief. There are other options, however, …read

By Julie Fidler This might sound like an odd-sounded phrase: organic Gatorade. But it’s real, and it will soon be on store shelves. The organic Gatorade, made by PepsiCo, was announced by company CEO Al Carey last Monday at Beverage Digest’s Future Smarts conference. “It’s a consumer interest. I think they’re very interested in non-GMO and organic, and to the degree you can make it meaningful to the consumer – do it,” said Carey. PepsiCo hasn’t said which ingredients it will replace in the sports drink, but Gatorade contains sucralose and artificial coloring (which causes its notably unnatural neon hue),

By Julie Fidler The spending bill passed by Congress on Friday repealed the country-of-origin labeling (COOL) regulation that let consumers know where their meat came from. The decision follows a ruling from the World Trade Organization (WTO) that found the labels discriminate against meat raised and slaughtered outside the United States. The WTO permitted Mexico and Canada to impose more than $1 billion in tariffs on U.S. goods in retaliation if the labels were not pulled from packages of beef and pork. The nations are the U.S.’s top agriculture partners. [1] Meat packers and members of Congress had fought for

By Julie Fidler Nestle claims to have created a way for people to get an all-day caffeine boost from a single cup of coffee. Scientists at the Nestlé Research Centre in Lausanne, Switzerland, together with École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and university ETH Zurich say they’ve found a technique which allows one little cup of coffee to release nutrients in a slow and sustained way. The technique, which revolves around “cubosomes,” could potentially be used in a variety of other products, as well. Cubosomes are microscopic capsules made of lipid molecules and water that contain a key ingredient or nutrient

In April, a study published in the journal Nature found that “habitual” coffee drinkers who consume more than 1.5 cups of coffee a day cut their risk of developing the disease over a 10-day period

If you’re willing to put in the work to get them out, you’ll be rewarded with a wonderful tart flavor and health benefits to boot.
