If anything, conventional medicine has only gotten more dangerous over time In 2021, The Commonwealth Fund’s international health care performance report ranked the U.S. dead last out of 11 industrial nations yet again, despite spending more of its GDP (18% as of 2019) on health care than any other nation A [More]
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE Industrial agriculture is a key driver of environmental destruction and ill health, yet this destructive cycle is defended in the name of affordable food and the need to feed the masses Industrial agriculture uses 75% of available farmland yet produces just 30% of food consumed globally. Small biodiverse farms use 25% of land and provide 70% of our diet. If the industrial agriculture share continues to rise, it will eventually kill the whole planet and eliminate any possibility of growing food The rise of fake meat is an attempt at recreating the same global [More]

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE Pomegranate’s benefits are primarily attributed to its antioxidant content. The fruit contains three types of antioxidant polyphenols, including tannins, anthocyanins, and ellagic acid, in significant amounts Research comparing the potency of 10 different polyphenol-rich beverages found the antioxidant potency of pomegranate juice was at least 20% greater than any of the other beverages Pomegranate extract stimulates mitophagy by activating transcription factor EB, which upregulates autophagy Urolithin A — a gut bacteria-derived metabolite of ellagitannins in pomegranate — helps slow the aging process by improving mitochondrial function Previous research has also shown the antioxidants in [More]
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE The loss of muscle mass that occurs with age is known as sarcopenia, the most obvious cause of which is inactivity Your muscles need sufficient amounts of protein. Poor digestion can impede your ability to absorb protein, thereby contributing to sarcopenia Whey protein has been shown to stimulate muscle protein accretion and stave off sarcopenia the best, in part due to its higher leucine content, which helps regulate the turnover of protein in your muscle Whey protein also contains the master antioxidant glutathione. Glutathione is thought to play an important role in sarcopenia specifically, [More]
If you thought you were up to date with the latest science on healthy eating — think again.   US researchers have created the Food Compass which turns common assumptions about snacking on their heads.   The results are bad if you thought you were being good to your body by opting for a granola bar over sugary chocolate ice cream in a cone.   And couscous, popular among the health conscious for years, scores lower than bacon — which has previously been linked to cancer.   The team at Tufts University in Boston spent three years looking at more than 8,000 foods [More]

08/21/22   The World Economic Forum (WEF) has announced plans to microchip children around the world as part for their ‘Great Reset’ agenda for humanity.   Not content on depopulating the planet and censoring the internet, the WEF says it now wants our children to be implanted with microchips to “make these amazing technologies a part of our lives.”   It wasn’t that long ago that the idea of humans being microchipped by the elites was dismissed as a “conspiracy theory.” But now the world elites’ most vocal outlet is predicting that chip implants will eventually become part of our normal existence.   [More]

Almost all of the baby foods that parents in the United States feed their children, whether purchased at the store or prepared at home, contain detectable amounts of toxic heavy metals that can impair brain development, according to new research published last week, which led to renewed demands for improved regulation.   A previous study by Health Babies Bright Futures (HBBF) found that 95% of pre-packaged baby foods tested were contaminated with toxic heavy metals including lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury, sparking a congressional investigation and conversations about whether homemade baby foods are a safer alternative.   Read More: 94% of Baby Foods — Including Homemade — Contain [More]
? Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE Melatonin is one of the most important antioxidant molecules and certainly the most ancient, as it has been part of biological life for over 3 billion years.
