Cancer is now the number one reason behind childhood deaths in America
Accidents used to be the number one reason behind childhood deaths, however over the last 100 years, cancer rate has grown so rapidly that it is now a major concern for the medical community. According to eatlocalgrown.com, a data from the U.S. Public Health Service shows that in 1900s cancer death rates were about 64 per 100,000 population and in 2005 that number has increased to almost 188.7 per 100,000 population. the last 100 years, human gene or DNA hasn’t changed much, so what has changed? ...
Amazing healing and medicinal benefits of Aloe Vera plant
According to a study published in the International Journal of Toxicology, aloe-emodin (AE) which is a hydroxyanthraquinone present in Aloe vera leaves, has a specific in vitro and invivo antineuroectodermal tumor activity. The researchers discovered that the active substance in Aloe Vera known as Aloe-emodin is a new form of anticancer agent with selective activity against Neuroectodermal Tumors. Studies also show that polysaccharides in Aloe Vera can help to boost the immune system and destroy cancer cells. In fact, a study shows that polysaccharides in the aloe vera display potent macrophage-activating activities ...
FDA moves forward with approving GE salmon. "Frankenfish" might end up on your dinner plate as early as 2014. Take action and say ‘No to Frankenfish’
According to a report by Organic Consumers, the first genetically modified salmon known as ‘Frankenfish’ might end up in your dinner plate as early as 2014. The new GM fish called AquaBounty is sitting in FDA’s queue for approval and if it’s approved, GE salmon would be the first transgenic animal entering into our food supply. Many researchers and food activists have raised questions and concerns about the safety of GE fish. However, FDA in their preliminary assessment has ruled that GM fish is unlikely to pose a threat to human health and the environment ...
Vitamin D deficiency may cause damage to brain and other organs! Also, can spending money on multivitamins and supplements be a waste?
The researchers suggest that vitamin D deficiency is on a rise in US and its effects on brain should not be underestimated.

‘Target’ who has been bankrolling anti-GMO Food Labeling Efforts by paying members of the Grocery Manufacturers Association is now sued after hackers stole more than 110 million accounts in Target database
I no longer shop at Target, but a few years ago when I went to Target to return an item, I noticed that they store the CVV2 values (the security code at the back of your credit card) of their customer’s credit card number. I remember how I argued with one of the managers at Target for almost an hour on why what they were doing was wrong, immoral, unethical and even illegal. The manager at Target was indifferent to anything I had to say ...
New Harvard study reveals Institutional Corruption of Pharmaceuticals and how FDA cannot be trusted with public safety

Over-fed but undernourished nation. The obesity epidemic and the so-called "Fundamental Rights" of the American Food Corporations to sell and market sickness!
Statistics show that one in three kids born after the year 2000 is either obese or overweight. The growing poverty in America and obesity epidemic go hand in hand and in fact, a study published in the Journal of Urban Health suggests that obesity caused by malnutrition is an epidemic in the United States. The US isn’t the only country with such findings and another study by New Zealand researchers shows that one thirds of preschool kids are either obese or overweight. According to researchers, 82% of pre-school kids do not get enough dietary fiber and 68% don’t get enough omega 3 fatty acids (found in fish and nuts) that are essential for brain development and health ...
Living close to highways may contribute to a wide range of health problems including autism, cardiovascular diseases and asthma
Living close to fast lanes or highways is not a pleasant experience, especially if you consider the noise, air pollution and the fact that you won’t have much of privacy since many drivers (who are lost) will use your driveway to turn around. Besides all these problems associated with living close to highways, recent studies show that living near freeways could be hazardous to your health. According to the American Lung Association report for 2013, up to 40% of North American populations live close to a busy road. The report states how living or working 0.2 to 0.3 miles from a highway or a busy road is more dangerous than most people think ...

Why you need antioxidants in your diet? Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) can boost body’s antioxidant defense by reducing cellular damage.
For many years now, researchers have discovered that Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) is the body’s most powerful natural antioxidant enzyme that plays a critical role in reducing the oxidative damage and inflammation. Until recently, any attempts to stimulate SOD have been disappointing and challenging, since SOD protein molecule is easily deactivated by harsh acids and enzymes produced by digestive tract. However, the researchers have apparently overcome this challenge by creating bioavailable forms of SOD using natural plant extracts and partnering it with a protective protein driven from wheat and other plants (so it could be delivered intact to the bloodstream and intestine) ...
