By Julie Fidler A group of scientists have detected traces of radioactive material from the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster in bottles of wine made in California at levels higher than before the power plant exploded and melted down. Years after the disaster, a group of French nuclear physicists set out to determine whether the nuclear isotope cesium-137 was more present in wines produced after the Fukushima meltdown than before the disaster. To find out, they tested bottles of rosé and Cabernet sauvignon that were made from 2009 to 2012. The result: Some wines made after 2011 contained twice as much

By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Quercetin – a flavonoid and plant pigment found in vividly-colored fruits and vegetables – is beginning to emerge as the darling of researchers for its confirmed ability to help prevent heart disease and promote cardiovascular health. In fact, extensive population studies have shown that people with diets rich in quercetin have lower cholesterol, as well as decreased incidence of heart disease and death. If quercetin’s impressive cardioprotective qualities were all it had to offer, it would still be worthy of study. But it turns out that …read more Source: Natural Health 365
By Hesh Goldstein First and foremost the most extensive and complete website about the atrocities of fluoridation is Dr. Paul Connett’s, www.fluoridealert.org. Hawaii, with the exception of the military bases, is perhaps the only state that does not subject their residents to the fluoridation, toxic waste chemicals. In 2006, the National Research Council did the first independent report on fluoridation. They condemned it! This prompted the American Dental Association to warn all their member dentists to, at the very least, tell parents of infants about fluoride’s neurological toxicity. Yet, despite the NRC report, the American Dental Association defends fluoridation unequivocally.
