It’s time to dust off your gardening gloves and head outdoors. New York gardener Michele Owens told USA Today:2 “The combination of light, a little bit of warmth from the exercise, and dirt — those are powerful things. Those are things that we’ve evolved to need, I think.” Whether your passion is planting a vegetable garden, flowers, trees, or everything in between, gardening offers seemingly limitless …read more Read more here:

A prominent evangelical college is defending its decision to allow the formation of homosexual student group on campus. Wheaton College is a private evangelical school located near Chicago. Established in 1860, the school enrolls approximately 3,000 students and operates under the motto “For Christ and His Kingdom.” Due to the college’s Christian heritage, Wheaton’s Student Handbook requires all students to “abstain from … same-sex sexual behavior,” and the school’s Community Covenant condemns “homosexual behavior and all other sexual relations outside the bounds of marriage between a man and woman.” However, two groups of Wheaton-affiliated students and alumni have recently presented

By Robert Harrington Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have been used in a variety of products for many decades. It is well worth repeating that one of the more dangerous variants of PFASs that was formerly found in Teflon until it was replaced by a similar substance which may also be toxic.

The gut microbiome is today’s most appealing topic of science because it was previously unacknowledged by the medical community just how important gut health is to the human brain, hormones, immunity, mental health and more. Maintaining a healthy gut has everything to do with optimum well being.

Wonder how a federal agency as large as the USDA can keep claiming pesticides like Roundup are safe? Wonder how the truth can be kept from leaking out? Wonder how this agency, tasked with protecting the public from unsafe food, can turn fake science into “real science” like clockwork? Wonder how, in Hawaii, Monsanto and Dow can defend their toxic, open-air, pesticide experiments as “approved by the USDA?” Government scientists who believe in exposing the truth are being targeted. Ten scientists at the US Dept. of Agriculture are on such a target list, because their research findings would harm big-corporate

By Andrew Despite their name, essential oils are not in fact oily, but rather clear and less slick than their name implies. Not quite watery, but not oily either. When blended correctly, essential oils are highly concentrated and should be diluted before applying directly to your skin. Separating Fact from Fiction Many time you may hear many claiming that essential oils can cure everything from diabetes to cancer to HIV. Quite the contrary, it is the absence of any proof of discoveries made by these ancient civilizations that essential oils could cure major illness that leads me to believe they

Dr. Antoniou uses genetic engineering for medical applications, but he warns against its use in developing crops for human food and animal feed. Why exactly does Antoniou believe GM crops are unsafe? Biotech shills with lesser integrity than Antoniou tell us that genetic engineering is the same as the natural breeding process in plants. This is precisely untrue.
