Major packaged-food companies lost $4 billion in market share alone last year, as shoppers swerved to fresh and organic alternatives. Can the supermarket giants win you back? Try this simple test. Say the following out loud: Artificial colors and flavors. Pesticides. Preservatives. High-fructose corn syrup. Growth hormones. Antibiotics. Gluten. Genetically modified organisms. If any one of these terms raised a hair on the back of your neck, left a sour taste in your mouth, or made your lips purse with disdain, you are part of Big Food’s multibillion-dollar problem. In fact, you may even belong to a growing consumer class

Note: The following represents some of the persecution Christians experienced at the hands of Muslims during the month of April, 2015 alone. After reading this, ask yourself how Western media, politicians, and other foolish talking heads would react if Muslims experienced the same sort and amount of persecution at the hands of Christians or in Western nations in just one month. Islamic State Slaughters 30 Christian Ethiopians Approximately two months after the Islamic State published a video depicting its members slaughtering 21 Coptic Christians in Libya, on Sunday, April 19, the Islamic jihadi organization released another video of more Christians

By noreply@blogger.com (Activist) It’s not a hard case to convince someone that smoking is bad. From reports of lung or prostate cancer to serious birth defects, it is universally accepted that smoking leads to negative health effects. For these very reasons, public acceptance of smoking has been on the decline. This trend has led people to look for alternatives to traditional smoking, which has introduced recreational activities like hookah. However, the recent rise of e-cigarettes has been getting the most attention lately. The act of using e-cigarettes is called “vaping” and it is one of the most popular alternatives, resulting

By noreply@blogger.com (Activist) By Carey Wedler For the first time in over four decades, McDonald’s is shrinking. The fast food giant is currently closing more restaurants in the United States than it is opening, signifying a period of contraction for the global corporation. McDonald’s announced in April that it would be closing 700 “underperforming” locations, but because of the company’s sheer size—it has 14,300 locations in the United States alone—this was not necessarily a reduction in the size of the company, especially because it continues to open locations around the world. It still has <a class="colorbox" …read more Read more

By Christina Sarich Three-hundred and fifty federal government cafeterias will enjoy ‘low-antibiotic’ food starting at the beginning of 2016, and during a White House summit on antibiotic use last week, voluntary pledges from 150 food processors, restaurant chains, hospitals, and drug companies vowing to phase out the use of meat from animals treated regularly with antibiotics will change the food landscape for the better. The White House issued a memorandum finally heeding the warnings of scores of scientists and nutritionists that antibiotic overuse has grown to epic proportions, and subsequently is causing serious health issues. A recent study showed that

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola While antibiotics are given to combat bacteria responsible for illness, these drugs indiscriminately kill off beneficial bacteria in your gut as well, dramatically altering your gut microbiome. Gut bacteria, we now know, have an extensive repertoire of functions in your body. They even play a role in obesity. And, while your microbiome can change rather quickly based on your diet, exposure to antibiotics early in life may have serious long-term ramifications. According to recent research, infants given penicillin are at increased risk of obesity later on in life due to this early alteration of

Christian student groups in the California State University system that were stripped of official recognition last year for requiring their leaders to be Christian have now regained their rights following a reversal of the decision. As previously reported, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, which identifies as an “evangelical campus mission,” lost recognition last fall at 23 schools across the state over the decision, which is based on the system’s anti-discrimination policies. “Loss of recognition means we lose three things: free access to rooms (this will cost our chapters $13k-30k/year to reserve a room). We also lose access to student activities programs, including

By Christina Sarich DDT, the pesticide once used in WWII was banned in the US in 1972, but it remains in the soil for decades. The good news is that a simple vitamin can reduce its negative effects. DDT was considered a ‘miracle’ when it was first created. It was the first important synthetic pesticide from chlorinated hydrocarbon (organochlorine) discovered by a Swiss chemist named Paul Muller in 1939. It was toxic to a large range of insects, didn’t break down rapidly so it didn’t require frequent applications, and it wasn’t water soluble, so rain wouldn’t wash it away. For

How often do we now read similar headlines? This issue concerning childhood and teenage vaccination programs will only get bigger until the vaccine manufacturers conduct the high integrity studies which are necessary. The rising incidence of secondary illness and concerning symptoms is simply too compelling not to take seriously. By seriously we mean that every untested and unproven vaccine ought to be removed from the healthcare marketplace. Otherwise, the sensitive and

By Christina Sarich As major supermarkets like Safeway, Target, Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s refuse GM salmon, the mega store Costco is planning on selling the genetically modified fish to its customers while attempting to dress itself as a big organic seller. This is odd, since Costco has just announced that it will become one of the largest sellers of organic products in the US, and also since Costco customers recently rallied in Seattle to deliver more than 50,000 signatures asking the company not to sell GM salmon. Over 60 retailers representing more than 9000 stores have already publicly committed

“Good article and analysis by Dr. Paul. Washington’s hysterical warmongering against Russia is just their insane way of trying to maintain US global domination. Rather than accepting the fact that a unipolar world is no longer tenable in light of the growing stature of Russia and China on the world stage and trying to work with them in a civil, mutually beneficial manner they have adopted instead a warmongering policy which will ultimately lead to disaster.” Admin While much of the world focused last week on whether or not the Federal Reserve was going to raise interest rates, or whether

By jeery park The thyroid gland is the body’s master controller. It controls how the body uses energy, makes proteins, and controls how sensitive the body is to other hormones. Hormonal output from the thyroid is regulated by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) produced by the anterior pituitary. Most doctors only look at the TSH level when testing for thyroid issues. Unfortunately, this only tells a small part of how your hormones are functioning. There are many things that can affect how your thyroid functions. Here is an article from OrganicHealth.co that lists 9 ordinary household items that can destroy your thyroid.
