By Dr. Mercola According to the latest statistics1 nearly 40 percent of American adults, over 18 percent of teens and nearly 14 percent of young children are now obese, not just overweight, and processed foods and sweetened beverages are clearly driving factors. Unfortunately, many make the mistake of thinking artificially sweetened products are a healthier option as it cuts down your calories. Nothing could be further from the truth. Over the years, an ever-growing number of studies have shown artificial sweeteners raise your risk of both obesity and Type 2 diabetes — perhaps even to a greater degree than sugar

By Dr. Mercola Plastic is made from a number of different chemicals, some of which are known to act as endocrine disruptors. An endocrine disruptor is similar in nature to a natural sex hormone and interferes with the normal functioning in your body. While not visible, plastic chemicals can be found in fast food packaging, processed and boxed foods, including those marketed as organic.1 Use has skyrocketed from 2 million metric tons in 1950 to 380 million metric tons in 2015.2 This represents an astonishing 18,000 percent increase over 65 years. At this growth rate, the Earth could very well

By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) If your zinc levels are lower than normal, new reports show you’re at risk for high blood pressure. A recent study published in the American Journal of Physiology – Renal Physiology found that too little zinc could cause your kidneys to reabsorb salt, causing high blood pressure. And, here’s an important point: low levels of zinc are common across many chronic diseases. And, it’s already been known to make high blood pressure reading worse. However, it wasn’t until this study that we knew that zinc deficiency on its own can have a a …read

By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Three years ago, people using the arthritis drug, Celebrex breathed a huge sigh of relief. But, as you’ll soon see, that was a big mistake. A 2016 study claimed that this arthritis medicine wasn’t any riskier for your heart than other common NSAIDs like naproxen and ibuprofen. So, many people continued to use drugs containing celecoxib, an ingredient found in Celebrex. Unfortunately, that 2016 study missed something big. According to a brand new study, there’s a huge risk to using these drugs — heart valve problems. WARNING: Arthritis drug increases the risk of a

By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Anti-aging studies and longevity research are hot topics this day and age. No doubt, this is all being pushed by the aging baby boomer population. It should be noted that the average life expectancy of an American is 78.7 years.

By Dr. Mercola First off, let me make it very clear that sunscreen is widely overused. There are some circumstances where it is wise and appropriate to use but those cases are few and far between. For the most part, you just need to avoid the sunscreen and rely on sensible sun exposure. Get out of the sun or wear clothing the moment your skin starts to turn light pink. Having laid that foundation, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently proposed new regulations1 to “make sure sunscreens are safe and effective.” If enacted, this could have a transformative

By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Over the last 100 years, cardiovascular disease has become a top cause of death in the United States (as well as many other places in the Western world), claiming millions of lives through fatal events such as a heart attack and stroke. But, conventionally speaking, the cause of heart attacks – in particular – remain a ‘mystery’ to millions of people … until now. While Western medicine attempts to treat the current epidemic of heart disease with a host of drugs – including beta blockers and statin drugs – these medications fail to address
