    Organic cheese and organic butter are quickly becoming more of rare finds in major supermarkets like Harris Teeter, Farm Fresh and Food Lion. Why? The cute little Harris Teeter organic section seemed impressive when they "built it out" some last year, but now there's a tricky mix in there, of "all natural" products that aren't organic or even natural at all, and other product labels that look like the certified organic label but aren't, like Simple Truth ... and other imposters. Eat the wrong kind of cheese and butter regularly and you're health is in a world of hurt. That's why the government used to dish out cheese and butter blocks to those on welfare. Kick'em while they're down, right? Wrong! Whatever happened to the Free Government Cheese Program? Do they call that "SNAP" now? There are only about 50 million Americans on SNAP. Grab that conventional meat (hormones), milk (hormones), soda , cheese (hormones), GM...

Outside the office buildings they huddle in the cold. Away from the dinner parties they're "isolated" and some of them ashamed of themselves for still being engulfed by the habit. Like outcasts, the pariahs gather and inhale -- hold -- exhale 7,000 chemicals through a long white tube of paper full of tobacco and loaded with a short-term stimulant -- the second most addictive kind on the planet. "Gluttons for punishment" -- the non-smokers may call them. They know what they're doing to their bodies. So where's the sympathy for the plight, the blight, the horror of not being able to quit something you want to very badly? Where are the non-smokers who empathize? Where are the nutritionists now, to scream at them, that nutrition is the key to longevity, or at this point, has everyone just given up? Research blames income levels for a high correlation of smokers of commercial cigarettes, meaning possibly that the poor are more stressed out, ...

  According to Natural News , one of the most extraordinary stories in the history of American journalism took place this year, and the mainstream (liberal) media was AWOL the entire time. An historical showdown between heavily armed federal agents (BLM) and armed American citizens unfolded near Bunkerville, Nevada, where the Bundy family announced that they were taking a stand against a federal land grab and cattle theft operation masterminded by federal agents working at the BLM. The showdown ended in a complete victory for citizens vs. government tyranny, as the feds effectively surrendered, announced their evacuation and agreed to release all the surviving cattle they had stolen. What's so astonishing about all this is that the mainstream media dispatched zero reporters to the scene and went to great lengths to downplay the reality of the situation as it unfolded. In doing this, the media lost massive credibility with the U.S. public, because it's now clear th...

  According to ABC News , scientists say the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) should take warnings about the stop-smoking drug Chantix up a notch, citing data showing that the drug increases suicidal behavior and depression far more than other drugs and methods designed to help smokers quit. Chantix, also called varenicline, has been hotly debated since 2007, when experts first raised questions about the long-term safety of the drug and its connection to cardiovascular problems and vision lapses. Since then, studies have reported that patients taking Chantix are at increased risk of depression and suicidal thoughts. Anecdotally, patients report wild dreams, inexplicable violent behavior and other psychological disturbances while on the drug. In 2009, the FDA placed a "black box" warning label on Chantix and another drug, Zyban, cautioning doctors and patients about the risk of depression, hostility and suicidal thoughts. But some researchers say these w...

  In 2014, the Organic Food Revolution took flight by the billions of dollars - and voices from around the world made sure it's continuing RIGHT NOW!   From the " Non-GMO Project Verified" label to " March Against Monsanto" - the organic food revolution has taken shape and saved lives and health in general. The environment is sustainable if we all join forces from the "ground up." Grass roots is now worth billions, because so many farmers know the value, and so many consumers know the quality difference. Several US states now require or are about to require GMO labeling and many more are writing legislation as we speak.   http://www.naturalnews.com/ 039471_Vermont_GMO_labeling_ food_regulations.html   http://www.naturalnews.com/ 046579_Non-GMO_Project_ organic_foods_GMOs.html   http://www.naturalnews.com/ 046300_GMOs_food_labeling_ biotech_companies.html   http://naturalnewsblog. blogspot.com/2014/05/seo- natural-news-and...

According to Natural News, extensive research into the connection between cell phone radiation and cancer has linked this ubiquitous modern technology to two main types of brain tumors: gliomas and acoustic neuromas. Information compiled by ElectricSense.com has confirmed the following findings with regard to cell phones and brain cancer. 1) An independent study commissioned by U.S. wireless carrier T-Mobile found that cell phone radiation directly initiates and promotes the formation of cancer. 2) The renowned Interphone study also found that regular cell phone use at just 30 minutes per day over 10 years increases the risk of gliomas by 40 percent. It also found that tumors were more likely to form on the side of the head where a cell phone is most prominently held. 3) A review of 23 epidemiological studies conducted by seven scientists concluded that cell phones cause a "harmful association" between cell phones and cancer. The only included studies that di...

The US National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in their landmark Agricultural Health Study studied a group of 89,000 farmers and other pesticide applicators in Iowa and North Carolina. The mammoth study concluded that, "use of two pesticide classes, fumigants and organochlorine insecticides, and seven individual pesticides--the fumigants aluminum phosphide and ethylene dibromide; the phenoxy herbicide (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)acetic acid (2,4,5-T); the organochlorine insecticide dieldrin; and the organophosphate insecticides diazinon, malathion, and parathion--were all positively associated with depression in each case group." The study showed that farmers with the highest number of lifetime exposure days to pesticides were 50 percent more likely to later have a depression diagnosis. The research linked long-term use of pesticides to higher rates of depression and suicide. Evidence also suggests that pesticide poisoning--a heavy dose in a short...
