[…]of pushing GM mosquitoes on locals in the Key West area, was met with a lot of controversy and resistance (the target neighborhood rejected their release so the company has to look for a new target area in the region) officials in Texas didn’t learn anything, “Houston-area officials are in negotiations to potentially release the mosquitoes in Harris County, the third most populous county in the U.S., which could make the area the first to release GMO mosquitoes in the United States.” But before they can do this, they need an environmental assessment, which could take years to complete.

[…]over 300 million people worldwide. It is characterized by high blood sugar levels and insulin resistance. A study in diabetic rats found that kombucha slowed down the digestion of carbs, which reduced blood sugar levels. It also improved liver and kidney function. RELATED STORY: How probiotics and fiber helps combat malnutrition Kombucha made from green tea is likely to be even more beneficial, as green tea itself has been shown to reduce blood sugar levels. In fact, a review study of almost 300,000 individuals found that green tea drinkers had an 18% lower risk of becoming diabetic. Further human studies are […]
[…]As health agencies have noted, since the rollout of Truvada, this is the first incident of drug resistance-failure out of the tens of thousands of people who are using PrEP to manage their sexual health. PrEP is, on the whole, working.” Doctors and researchers are encouraging calm- not fear. We must continue to educate at risk populations and remind them that Truvada isn’t magic; it’s part of a system of protection that also includes condoms and regular health screenings. Stay safe everyone. Source: The Verge and […]
[…]free study The primary role of cancer stem cells in contributing to cancer malignancy as well as resistance to conventional treatment is addressed in the study. Whereas traditional cancer research methods focus on a treatment’s ability to reduce tumor volume (or the number of cells in a cancer cell culture), the cancer stem cell theory acknowledges that treatments have highly differential effects on the different cell types that comprise the tumor; namely, whereas the relatively benign daughter cells of a tumor may die when exposed to chemotherapy, the relatively chemotherapy-resistant cancer stem cell population (so-called “mother” cells) can actually increase […]
[…]evidence that exposure to industrial toxins alone induces weight gain and insulin resistance, and, therefore, may be an underappreciated cause of obesity and diabetes. Consider what’s happening to our infants: Obesity in a six-month-old is obviously not related to diet or lack of exercise. They’re now exposed to hundreds of chemicals from their moms, straight through the umbilical cord, some of which may be obesogenic (that is, obesity-generating). RELATED ARTICLE: Alzheimer’s: Type 3 Diabetes? The millions of pounds of chemicals and heavy metals released every year into our environment should make us all stop and think about how we live and […]
[…]paid consultant to the tobacco industry, but also because he was himself a smoker. “Part of his resistance to seeing the association may have been rooted in his own fondness for smoking,” which makes me wonder about some of the foods many modern-day nutrition researchers may be fond of as well. RELATED STORY: Obesity responsible for 40 percent of diagnosed cancers A famous paper in the British Medical Journal titled, “Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma related to gravitational challenge: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials,” lampooned this insistence on randomized controlled trials as the only legitimate evidence. Not surprisingly, they […]
[…]forward thinking company is continuing their efforts to change state law but they face strong resistance from powerful dealership lobbies across the country (is anyone else tired of lobbyists?). What Telsa tried to argue in Missouri was that it could issue a franchise agreement to itself, thereby satisfying the local legal requirements. However, Judge Green said that the law requires the franchisee be a wholly separate entity. We wish them luck. I should be able to buy a car wherever I want, from whomever I want. This law does nothing more than protect the big guys from competition. What are they […]
[…]vitamins, minerals and plant compounds. Eating grapefruit can aid weight loss and reduce insulin resistance (40). Furthermore, eating grapefruit may help prevent kidney stones, lower cholesterol levels and protect against colon cancer (41, 42, 43). Bottom Line: Grapefruit contains various vitamins, minerals and plant compounds. It may help with weight loss and provide numerous health benefits. 10. Apples Apples are a popular fruit with a sweet flavor and distinctive crunch. They are available in many colors, sizes and flavors, but generally contain about 13–15% carbs. Apples contain many vitamins and minerals, but usually only in small amounts. However, they are […]
[…]meals. Importantly, these effects appear to occur in both healthy people and those with insulin resistance. In one study of healthy women, consuming 5 ounces (150 grams) of puréed strawberries or mixed berries with bread led to a 24–26% reduction in insulin levels, compared to consuming the bread alone. Moreover, in a six-week study, obese, insulin-resistant people who consumed a blueberry smoothie twice per day experienced greater improvements in insulin sensitivity than the group who consumed smoothies without berries. Bottom Line: Berries may improve blood sugar and insulin response when consumed with high-carb foods or when included in smoothies. 3. […]
[…]as, despite removal of the maximum dietary fat intake restriction from guidelines, a major resistance against saturated fats remains. Setting aside the issue of whether or not saturated fats should be restricted at all, given the abundance of contrary evidence in the medical literature, the Edinburgh Medical School researcher reported that such guidelines do not distinguish between different types of saturated fats. Saturated fats can be found in animal products, such as butter, as well as plant sources, such as coconuts and date palms. The rise in high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) with coconut oil consumption is certainly a compelling finding. Results from a […]
[…]difficulty getting pregnant. 5. Sleep Issues Sleep deprivation has been found to lead to insulin resistance and weight gain in dozens of studies. In addition, while overeating may cause sleeping difficulty, it appears that strict dieting can lead to sleep problems as well. Animal and human research has shown that starvation-level calorie restriction leads to sleep interruptions and a reduction in slow-wave sleep, also known as deep sleep. In one study of 381 college students, restrictive diets and other eating problems were linked to poor sleep quality and low mood. In another small study of 10 young women, four weeks […]

[…]in our food crops. A second concern follows from GMOs being often resistant to herbicides. This resistance is an invitation to farmers to spray large quantities of herbicides, and many do. As research recently showed, commercial soybeans routinely contain quantities of the herbicide Roundup (glyphosate) that its maker, Monsanto, once described as “extreme” (Bøhn et al 2014). Glyphosate has been in the news recently because the World Health Organisation no longer considers it a relatively harmless chemical, but there are other herbicides applied to GMOs which are easily of equal concern. The herbicide Glufosinate (phosphinothricin, made by Bayer) kills plants because it […]
[…]childhood dream was to become a police officer, and that she joined the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program in high school and went on ride-alongs with the Arlington, Texas, Police Department. The mother said Guyger left college her junior year when she was accepted into the police academy in Dallas. “She was so excited when she found out,” Karen Guyger said. The mother said that Guyger’s bubbly personality dramatically changed after she killed Jean. “She wanted to take his place. She’d always tell me she wished she could have taken his place. She feels very bad about it,” the […]
[…]be done before we can repair the damage done to the world by extracting and burning fossil fuels. Resistance to renewable sources of energy is usually brought up by those who are heavily invested in the old ways, but there are still those out there that can see through the smoke and understand that if we want to keep this planet healthy for generations to come, we need to start today.

[…]bucket over our heads. What six months of these water exercises showed was an immediately stronger resistance to illnesses. Our kids were now able to go to the kindergarten and even if someone had infection, they were no longer catching it.” The benefits go beyond physical health. Cold therapies also do wonders for emotional health. Children who take part in daily ice showers are more optimistic and emotionally-mature said the kindergarten workers. But the main benefit remains to be protection from the flu. “…Facts are hard to argue with. Our doctor confirms that children in groups that practice dousing get […]
[…]high heat, hydrogen gas and a metal catalyst. Studies show that trans fats lead to insulin resistance, inflammation, belly fat accumulation and drastically raise the risk of heart disease. So eat your saturated fats, monounsaturated fats and Omega-3s… but avoid trans fats and processed vegetable oils like the plague. Bottom Line: The truly harmful fats are artificial trans fats and processed vegetable oils high in Omega-6 fatty acids. Blaming New Health Problems on Old Foods Doesn’t Make Sense The health authorities have spent an immense amount of resources studying the link between saturated fat and heart disease. Despite thousands of […]
On Thursday, TransCanada Corp and state regulators announced that the Keystone pipeline had leaked an estimated 210,000 gallons of oil in northeastern South Dakota (remember the numerous times we’ve been told they don’t leak?). Crews immediately shut the pipeline down on Thursday morning and activated emergency response procedures. The cause of the leak is still being investigated. The company announced that the pipeline would remain shut down as they dealt with the leak but did not offer an estimate on when it would be back online.

[…]benefits of unplugging from time to time are proven to result in a more stable personality, stress-resistance and other mental-health benefits. Some people even report having „otherworldy“ exeriences and „out of body“ travels through space and time. This is the reason why I personally wanted to try it.
