Florida Doctor & Broward Health Chief Found Dead from Alleged Suicide

Posted by | Jan 24, 2016 | ,

It never brings me joy to break these stories to the health community. From the very first (Jeff Bradstreet, MD) to the countless others since June, my heart goes out to the families.

Monsanto Sues to Keep Glyphosate off California list of Carcinogens No surprise that the company who has been destroying lives since 1901 – Monsanto Co of St Louis- filed a lawsuit in California seeking to prevent glyphosate, the main ingredient in its Roundup herbicide, from being added to the state’s list of known carcinogens.

Oceans to have more plastic than fish by 2050

Oceans to have more plastic than fish by 2050 A new report out by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation reveals that by 2050 our oceans may have more plastic debris than fish.  The World Economic Forum released the study on Tuesday and it found that 32 percent of all plastic packaging finds its way into natural ecosystems. For us and our oceans that’s a staggering fact. Our use of plastics has increased in the past 50 years by 20 times and its expected to double yet again, in the next 20 years. Even though most plastic packaging is used only once,...

CBS: 1 dead, 11 more hospitalized in listeria outbreak linked to Dole salads

Posted by | Jan 23, 2016 | ,

Officials from the CDC announced today that they have been investigating the six-state outbreak since September 2015. So why the heck did they just announce this today?

People are being told not to eat the salads (listed below), but why wasn’t the public warned sooner if they knew about this outbreak? At least...
