Monsanto Promises Pain to the EU
The European Commission has issued a proposal to drop the policy of zero tolerance for unapproved and untested GMOs in food; the proposal suggests setting a threshold below which contaminated imports could enter Europe’s food chain.
In 2011, the EU decided to allow contamination with up to 0.1 percent of unapproved and untested GMOs in animal feed, which was previously not allowed.
Merck Accused of Lying About Vaccine Safety according to Mercola
Two virologists have filed a federal lawsuit against Merck, their former employer, alleging the vaccine maker overstated the effectiveness of their mumps vaccine, which may have cost the US government hundreds of millions of dollars over the past decade. They claim they “witnessed firsthand the improper testing and data falsification in which Merck engaged to artificially inflate the vaccine’s efficacy findings”
Dr. Wilson explains the premise of his new book, available only at the website for sale at a low introductory price of $4.95
Recently we began to offer the e-book “Sugar-Brain Digest—Obesity” for sale on this web site. This is the first e-book in a series that will outline in detail the concepts of sugar-brain and CARB syndrome. If you have spent some time on this site then you probably already know that the majority of adults and many children in modern societies already have symptoms of the condition we call sugar-brain. Sugar-brain is a type of food-induced brain dysfunction triggered by long-term exposure to sugar, high fructose corn syrup and rapidly absorbed carbohydrates, especially from grains.
The Higgs Boson: Why We Need to Discover a Nutrition Boson
This week the news hit headlines around the world that the Higgs boson or “god particle” had been discovered at the large European CERN particle accelerator. Although I am far from a physicist, my understanding is that this elusive subatomic particle helps explain the big bang theory of the origin of the universe and also explains what gives all matter mass, including our own bodies. Even though this is obvious triumph for science, I also find myself wondering why science hasn’t been able to explain why our bodies are getting so fat.
What Can Be Done To Slow Down the Progress of Alzheimers?
In the prevention and treatment of dementia (including Alzheimer’s type) and its associated cognitive changes, the rising star is astaxanthin due to its powerful antioxidant properties
The causes of Alzheimer’s disease are multifactorial, and the more risk factors you have, the more likely you will develop this sad, debilitating disease which has few effective treatments, making prevention extremely important.
Is Science on Toxicity of Sugar New? Not Exactly.
Since 1957, Dr. Ludkin of London showed that the consumption of sugar and refined sweeteners is closely associated with coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Studies he conducted on sugars indicated that they raised blood triglycerides and insulin levels. He is lauded by Dr. Robert H. Lustig in his UCTV lecture, “Sugar: The Bitter Truth”, which may be viewed on YouTube (www.youtube.com/watch )
Bieber Fever? Or is it Sugar-Brain
Wall Street Journal published the article “Inside the Brains of Bieber Fans”. The article discusses the neuroscience of “Bieber Fever” where adolescent girls go gaga over Justin Bieber. Because of my interest in neuroscience I found that article quite interesting. This type of idol worship has been going on for centuries and it appears to be a relatively benign way for young girls to safely tip their toes into the world of love and emotions.
I was even more fascinated by the pictures accompanying the article, especially those showing Elvis Presley in 1957, the Beatles in 1965, the Backstreet Boys in 1998 and the Bieber fans in 2012. I’m old enough to remember all of these events and these pictures show groups of love-intoxicated young women swooning over their idols. If you look carefully at the individuals in these pictures you will notice some subtle and not so subtle differences. Those who were swooning for Elvis appear trim and healthy. The same goes for the Beatles’ fans. When you get to the Backstreet boys in 1998 things start to change. The girls have a plumper appearance and don’t have the same “look of health” as the earlier photos.
Things really change in 2012 for the Bieber fans.
Does a GAPS diet prevent autism? Depends on who you ask. Dr. Mercola presents several viewpoints
Research shows that your gut flora can affect numerous processes in your body, including your metabolism, energy production, nutrition, and genetic expression
Your intestinal microflora is unique, although you will likely have one of three general “communities” of bacteria. This microbial balance is exceptionally sensitive to environmental conditions, beginning at birth.
Dr. Mercola challenges the Corn sugar marketing ploy Why Is Big Corn Continuing to Run ‘Corn Sugar’ Ads Even After FDA Denial?
Thanks Dr. Mercola for pointing out the toxic nature of excessive fructose. In my opinion this is now the number one health problem facing our country because excessive fructose is driving the epidemic increase in insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, obesity and type II diabetes—diseases that are now ravaging our population. But wait, it gets even worse.
Dr. Wilson Bucks the Trend: counseling patients to help them eat less and exercise more has been an utter failure when it comes to obesity. That’s because these recommendations are based on flawed science.
