? Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE The documentary film “We’re All Plastic People Now” delves into how we have become the embodiment of the trash we created. Director Rory Fielding had four generations of his family’s blood tested for plastic-derived chemicals and found alarming results Many of the chemicals used to make plastic are endocrine disruptors, which mimic, block or interfere with your natural hormones, causing problems in various physiological functions, such as growth, metabolism and reproduction Some endocrine-disrupting chemicals are also considered estrogenic carcinogens, which mimic the effects of estrogen in the body, thus increasing your risk of [More]
Every time you peel a banana and dispose of the skin, you’re throwing away a tasty, nutritious snack.   A recent study has shown if banana peels are blanched, dried, and ground into a flour, they can be turned into baked goods that taste just as nice, if not better than wheat-based products.   Unless you’re a devoted reader of vegan cooking blogs or a Nigella Lawson fan, you’ve probably never considered cooking with a banana peel. But not only is it perfectly safe, scientists also demonstrated it really is good for you.   Read More: Something Really Awesome Happens When [More]
Understanding the biological processes of getting older could help us lead longer lives, and stay healthier later in life – and a new study links the speed at which our brain ages with the nutrients in our diets.   Researchers from the University of Illinois and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln mapped brain scans against nutritional intake for 100 volunteers aged between 65 and 75, looking for connections between certain diets and slower brain aging.   They identified two distinct types of brain aging – and the slower paced aging was associated with nutrient intake similar to what you would get from the [More]
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE Mamavation sent 40 bandages from 18 brands to an EPA-certified laboratory for testing Indications of PFAS were found in 65% of the bandages tested Out of the 40 samples, 26 detections revealed organic fluorine — a marker for PFAS — above 10 parts per million (ppm) Band-Aid, Care Science, Curad and CVS Health were among the makers of bandages with some of the highest PFAS levels, though levels varied widely, even among different products made by the same overall brand PFAS are linked to hormone disruption, increased cancer risk, immune system suppression, developmental effects [More]

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE If you’ve been taught that washing your hands in warm water is necessary to get rid of dirt, germs and bacteria, one study says using cold water works fine if you follow a few important methods The U.S. Food and Drug Administration used to state that plumbing fixtures, especially in restaurants, should deliver water a minimum of 100 to 108 degrees Fahrenheit for people to get their hands clean Researchers in 2017 said it’s time to adjust U.S. guidelines to reflect the fact that cold water is just as effective if people wash their [More]
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE A new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulatory rule will harm local food producers by forcing small meat and poultry producers to invest heavily in new water filtration systems or face closure This rule threatens to have long-term repercussions on the food supply and benefits factory farms and multi-national beef producers by punishing small domestic producers and incentivizing imported meat and poultry products The Kansas Natural Research Coalition, American Stewards of Liberty and a myriad of smaller coalitions have denounced these rules as a departure from the EPA’s constitutional and statutory authority Federal regulators have [More]
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE Using a microwave to clean used sponges does kill some of the bacteria, but not the worst ones, a 2017 study says, as some particularly stubborn bacteria can cause disease About 82 billion bacteria may inhabit a single cubic inch of space in your kitchen sponge, one variety being a particularly prolific microbe called Moraxella osloensis, even if the sponge looks clean Thrifty people may pride themselves on making their sponges last a long time by washing them out and “nuking” them in the microwave, but though this may make them smell a little [More]
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE A U.S. Senate roundtable discussion, hosted by Sen. Ron Johnson, tackled a taboo topic — why public health agencies have not studied the health outcomes of vaccinated versus unvaccinated children In 1962, children received just five vaccine doses. As of 2023, children up to age 18 receive 73 doses of 16 different vaccines; the cumulative effects of this childhood vaccine schedule have never been tested Research shows vaccinated children experienced significantly higher instances of various health issues, including allergies, asthma, behavioral issues and gastroenteritis The 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act requires the U.S. [More]
The globalist-led World Bank issued a report recently that proposes the idea of making drastic cuts to global agriculture production in order to achieve “net zero emissions.”   The plot involves centralizing the world’s farms in the hands of just a few wealthy individuals who plan to cut almost one-third of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions by radically altering the way food is grown.   The report touts the proposed changes in nice-sounding terminology that claims food production will continue in such a way as “to feed a growing population.” The reality, though, is that the proposal threatens to eliminate large swaths [More]

“It’s disgusting how corrupt big Pharma and Big Med have become.” Admin   World-famous cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough recently revealed startling figures about the immense earnings doctors received for pushing the COVID-19 injections.   On the Tommy T Podcast, Dr. McCullough claimed that a typical doctor could make an extra $250,000 if they injected a substantial portion of their patients.   Read/Watch: Cardiologist reveals how much doctors got bribed to push COVID shots | WND | by Around the Web
Canada’s legalization of euthanasia, deceitfully dubbed “medical assistance in dying” (MAID), began in 2016 with strict limitations for terminal illnesses. However, over the years, the practice expanded to encompass a broader range of circumstances, drawing strong condemnation from Randy Hillier, a former independent member for Lanark–Frontenac–Kingston of the provincial parliament in Ontario.   In his interview with The New American, Hillier explores the origins and development of Canada’s MAID law. He suggests that in a society heavily influenced by materialism, the value of life has diminished, leading to a shift in attitudes toward death. This shift, coupled with the context [More]
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE Semaglutide — the active ingredient in not only Ozempic and Wegovy but also Saxenda and Victoza — is touted as a wonder drug for weight loss but comes with serious side effects Research from the University of British Columbia revealed the drugs are associated with an increased risk of stomach paralysis, pancreatitis and bowel obstruction The Therapeutic Goods Administration, Australia’s regulatory authority for drugs, is investigating at least three deaths linked to Ozempic and other weight loss injections New understandings of how Ozempic works suggest its mechanisms may have more to do with your [More]
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE Scientists have found baking soda to be a surprisingly simple and affordable solution for getting rid of as much as 96% of the toxic pesticides that contaminate most fruits and vegetables The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires apple producers to soak their produce in bleach water for two minutes, but that’s only designed to remove bacteria and dirt, not get rid of pesticides Prenatal exposure to toxic chemicals commonly used in agriculture has been shown to cause low birth weight in infants and neurodevelopmental problems To ensure you’re doing everything possible to decrease [More]
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE Nanoplastics, particles less than 1 micrometer in size, are a significant environmental and health concern due to their prevalence and potential hazards. Americans could consume up to 3.8 million pieces of micro- and nanoplastics per year from protein sources alone. Infant formula has also been confirmed to contain microplastics Recent research found individuals with microplastics or nanoplastics in their carotid artery tissues have a 353% higher risk of cardiovascular events like heart attacks or strokes than those without microplastics in their arteries Microplastics and nanoplastics in the body can cause oxidative stress, tissue damage, [More]
Analysis by A Midwestern Doctor STORY AT-A-GLANCE “Preventing” pandemics is one of the most lucrative areas in medicine. Sadly, this money has incentivized “preventative” research which frequently leads to disastrous leaks and suppresses effective solutions for the pandemics that emerge COVID-19 was handled so egregiously that it woke much of the public up to this grift and the pandemic-industrial complex is now facing an existential threat to its business model To address this “threat” the WHO (World Health Organization) has covertly created a treaty behind the scenes which usurps national sovereignty and gives international health agencies terrifying control during “health emergencies” [More]
Analysis by Ashley Armstrong STORY AT-A-GLANCE Gut health plays a crucial role in nutrient absorption, hormone balance, energy levels, mood, and inflammation A healthy gut typically involves regular bowel movements (1-3 times a day), minimal skin issues, and the ability to enjoy a variety of foods without discomfort Your gut lining regenerates every three days, and your gut microbiome can change daily based on diet, suggesting that lengthy gut healing protocols are unnecessary Hypothyroidism can reduce stomach acid and other digestive juices, leading to bloating, constipation, and food allergies due to its effect on gut motility and enzyme production Maintaining a [More]
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE The documentary “Beyond Impossible — The Truth Behind the Fake Meat Industry” argues that lab-grown and cultured meats, as ultraprocessed foods, could pose significant health risks, challenging the perceived benefits of these meat alternatives Fake meats lack essential nutrients found in natural meats, including specific amino acids that are crucial for muscle maintenance and overall health Despite claims of sustainability, studies show that meat alternatives have far greater greenhouse gas emissions than traditional livestock practices Evidence supports regenerative farming methods as far more beneficial for the environment compared to the industrial farming methods upon [More]
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE Vitamin D may help modulate many of the 12 hallmarks of aging, which is crucial in older adults who make less vitamin D, activate less vitamin D from food, supplements and sunshine, and need more vitamin D as an effective strategy to slow aging and protect health Each of the 12 hallmarks of aging may be discussed independently, but most act synergistically with one or more other hallmarks. Optimal levels of vitamin D may improve genomic instability, reduce epigenetic alterations associated with disease, improve mitochondrial function, decrease cellular senescence and improve gut dysbiosis Measurement [More]
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE Getting enough vitamin B3 could help maintain muscle mass and strength as you age, while also helping control body fat and blood sugar levels A study found consuming more niacin was linked to stronger hand grip, increased muscle mass and higher bone mineral content People with higher niacin intake also had less body fat and a lower risk of losing muscle mass as they age Niacin also helped with blood sugar control, showing benefits in reducing insulin resistance and keeping fasting blood sugar and insulin levels in check, especially in people without diabetes For [More]
The new story over at NBC News reports two new ‘bird flu vaccines’ could be ready in weeks according to US government ‘health officials,’ reporting as their subtitle that the H5N1 virus has infected at least 36 herds across nine states, raising the risk of potential human spread.   Warning that this ‘new flu’ has already begun ‘spreading easily to humans,’ they also declared they’ll be shipping these new vax doses widely across the country, but nowhere in their story do they mention that this will be happening in another election year in what appears to be their next monstrosity to hold on to power by whatever means necessary.   Claiming that the [More]
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE Evidence continues to accumulate showing that vitamin D is a strong ally to combat cancer Low vitamin D levels are linked to an increased risk of cancers, while vitamin D can attach to the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in your cells, setting off a series of signals that may affect how they grow, develop and survive Although increasing vitamin D levels may help to reduce cancer deaths, health officials rarely recommend optimizing levels for this purpose Vitamin D targets cancer in multiple ways, including anticancer, antimetastatic and anti-tumorigenic effects The best way to optimize [More]
? Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE The recommendation to drink eight 8-ounce glasses (known as 8×8 for short) of water a day is not scientifically backed The best way to determine how much water you need is to listen to your body and let thirst be your guide It’s a myth that waiting to drink until you’re thirsty is too late, because by then you’re already dehydrated; your body’s physiologic thirst mechanism is triggered before you’re dehydrated Editor’s Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published May 27, 2017. The common mantra that you need to drink [More]
Analysis by A Midwestern Doctor STORY AT-A-GLANCE One of aging’s most profound consequences is the gradual weakening of bones, which can lead to life-altering physical limitations and fractures. Currently, we wisely aim to prevent bone loss early on but unwisely rely on routine bone density scans, often leading to the indiscriminate sale of “bone-strengthening” drugs to a large patient base This approach is deeply flawed. Scan data frequently fails to reflect true bone strength, while increasing density often results in brittle bones prone to fracture. Moreover, the commonly prescribed bone density drugs carry significant risks In the face of a lucrative [More]
“Some good news!” Admin   Results from early testing show that pasteurization killed highly pathogenic avian influenza in milk, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says.   Results from “an initial limited set of geographically targeted samples” show that “pasteurization is effective in inactivating” the influenza, commonly known as the bird flu, the FDA said in an April 26 update.   The FDA gathered samples from grocery stores with confirmed cases of the flu in cattle. The agency has said that one in five tested positive for avian influenza, but stressed that polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing can return positive due [More]
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE The top reason people choose organic foods is to avoid pesticides, yet the myriad of regulations makes it difficult to know exactly what you are eating, especially when it comes to chicken, eggs and dairy The U.S. Department of Agriculture describes four categories of organic foods: those that are 100% organic, 95% organic, 70% organic and those that have some organic ingredients When reading meat product labels, you must know the difference between free-range, cage-free, pasture-raised, grass fed and organic. They may sound similar, but they have very different meanings If you’re familiar with [More]
