The Organic Trade Association is suing the USDA on behalf of chicken welfare

The Organic Trade Association is suing the USDA on behalf of chicken welfare

Posted by | Jan 19, 2018 | , , ,

According to the USDA, in order to receive official organic certification, egg-laying hens are supposed to have “year-round access to the outdoors including sunlight, shade and exercise areas.” 1 However, apparently, some of the larger organic companies have chosen to interpret those rules quite loosely and have thus housed their chickens packed tightly together on screened-in porches. Make no mistake, there is no way they are pecking in the dirt or wandering outside. You know, normal chicken activity. And consumers agree with the USDA rules. In fact, about 80 percent of consumers who buy organic products think it’s important that organic eggs come from...

How the FDA manipulates the media

How the FDA manipulates the media

Posted by | Jan 19, 2018 | ,

If you’ve ever wondered about whether or not the FDA manipulates the media, they do. Read on. Nothing should surprise us anymore. RELATED STORY: NBC: FDA to crack down on ‘snake oil’ homeopathy Our press corps is continually manipulated thanks to something that’s been around for decades: the embargo. An embargo is a “back-room deal between journalists and the people they cover—their sources. A source grants the journalist access on condition that he or she cannot publish before an agreed-on date and time.” 2 (And it’s not just the FDA, loads of other scientific and government agencies use embargos...

Who’s right in the salt debate?

Who’s right in the salt debate?

Posted by | Jan 19, 2018 | ,

Written By Michael Greger M.D. FACLM For decades, a sometimes furious battle has raged among scientists over the extent to which elevated salt consumption contributes to death, with one camp calling it a “public health hazard that requires vigorous attack” and another claiming the risks of dietary salt excess are exaggerated, even to the point of calling sodium reduction “the largest delusion in the history of preventive medicine.” The other side calls this denialism ethically irresponsible, especially when millions of lives are at stake every year. RELATED STORY: The Best Salts for Your Body and Brain To describe two sides of the debate may be falling into the trap...

Three different cannabinoid-based medicines approved by the FDA

Three different cannabinoid-based medicines approved by the FDA

Posted by | Jan 18, 2018 | ,

Although the FDA wants everyone to know that marijuana doesn’t cure cancer and has warned four companies they say are making these claims, to stop, the FDA is, at the same time, aware that “cannabis and cannabis-derived products are being used for a number of medical conditions” 3 (AIDS wasting syndrome, epilepsy, Parkinson’s, neuropathic pain, treatment of spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis, and cancer and chemotherapy-induced nausea).4 However, even though medical marijuana is successfully being used to help people and bring them relief, the FDA has still not approved one drug product containing or derived from the whole cannabis...

When it comes to almonds, what does ‘raw’ mean? You might be surprised

When it comes to almonds, what does ‘raw’ mean? You might be surprised

Posted by | Jan 18, 2018 | , ,

Until very recently I thought that when I ate a raw almond I was eating a “raw” almond. However, it seems that’s not the case. You see, all California almonds (and almost all almonds in our country come from California) are either heat-pasteurized or treated with a fumigant! 4 RELATED STORY: Health benefits and uses of Almond Oil One of those two processes has been required by law since 2007 in order to prevent foodborne illness. However, once it’s been pasteurized it really isn’t raw anymore. The term is incredibly misleading. But this rule doesn’t just apply to almonds; other...
