Which Has More Sugar – Tropicana’s Farmstand Juice or Coke? Tropicana’s new line of drinks, Farmstand, is designed to conjure thoughts of health in a consumer’s mind. The name evokes the mental image of a farmer bringing in her fresh vegetables and fruits to market. Each bottle includes pictures of beautiful produce that almost screams that it contains vitamins and minerals. But just how healthy are these drinks? We decided to take a look at one of the products: Tropicana Farmstand Pomegranate Blueberry. What you need to know: The drink comes in a 12-ounce bottle. Readers may recall that that the FDA has defined a serving size for juice (or cola, or seltzer, for that ...
Mounting data suggest antibacterial soaps do more harm than good

Mounting data suggest antibacterial soaps do more harm than good Few pros, but cons include upped risk of infection, microbiome changes, drug resistance. Whether you’re coming home from an airport fluttering with international germs, a daycare full of sticky-fingered toddlers, or just a grimy office building, scrubbing your hands with bacteria-busting soap seems like a great idea. But the data that have washed up on the cleansers in recent years suggest that they actually do more harm than good—for you, those around you, and the environment. Scientists report that common antibacterial compounds found in those soaps, namely triclosan and triclocarban, may increase the risk of ...
Watch Marijuana Miraculously Destroy Cancer Cells

Did you know that studies showed the effectiveness of cannabis at killing cancer cells as long ago as 1974? In 1974, a study from The Washington Post said that THC effectively “slowed the growth of lung cancers, breast cancers and a virus-induced leukemia in laboratory mice, and prolonged their lives by as much as 36%.” The information was suppressed and people were incarcerated for up to decades for using or selling the harmless, absolutely miraculous medicine from 1974 to 1998 (and further on, as you know). In 1998, another study came out from Madrid’s Complutense University that indicated THC can cause cancer cells to die, and unlike ...
VAXXED [Uncensored] The Fight To Release A Controversial Documentary

No Tribeca, no problem for the new documentary Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe, recently withdrawn from this year’s New York film festival at the behest of co-founder Robert De Niro. It is safe to say that the buzz generated by the censoring of this film has overshadowed Tribeca’s 2016 film festival. Adding more fuel to the soaring public interest was producer Del Bigtree’s release of his uncut interview with ABC news regarding the film. In typical fashion, the mainstream media sliced and diced Bigtree’s vital ten minute interview into a few soundbites to frame an anti-vaccine narrative.Fortunately for the millions wishing to see this film and make their own ...
Utah Abortion Bill Requires Anesthesia for Babies Being Aborted

In an unprecedented move, Utah takes the fight for unborn life a step further. While Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe was busy vetoing a bill to defund the nation’s leading abortion provider, Governor Gary Herbert of Utah was signing a bill requiring anesthesia to be given to unborn babies being aborted at 20 weeks or more. S.B. 234 was signed into law on March 28 and has given the pro-abortion advocates yet another hurdle to overcome as they race frantically, and often clumsily, toward their goal of justifying abortion at any cost. The question of fetal pain has become a controversial topic. Some organizations, such as The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the ...

The Pharmaceutical Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know Antidepressants Cause Suicides

The largest-ever review of the effects of antidepressants on teens uncovered some incredibly disturbing findings, including that the drugs raise the risk of suicide in kids under 18. Now, this link is nothing new. We just reported in September that the selective-serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) drug Paxil was found to make teens suicidal. In 2005, it was revealed that a Harvard psychiatrist and the pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly & Co. hid a secret 1988 internal memo showing that Lilly’s own controlled clinical trials of the blockbuster antidepressant drug Prozac had a significantly higher rate of suicide attempts, hostility, violence, and psychosis than four other commonly ...
Study Proves Legal Marijuana Is Literally Saving Lives

A study by the Journal of the American Medical Association has indicated that legalized marijuana in certain areas coincided with a drastic reduction in painkiller deaths. According to the study, between 1999 and 2010, within the 13 states that legalized marijuana, there was a 25% reduction in opiate painkiller overdose deaths.Study co-author Colleen Barry said that this same trend occurred in every state to legalize the plant since. A new survey conducted by the Centre for Addictions Research of BC helps explain why Big Pharma is so afraid of cannabis. The pharmaceutical and alcohol industries, both powerful influences in Washington, have long lobbied against cannabis legalization in ...

President Obama’s visit to Cuba this week once again focused the eyes of the world on the island nation. After the initial rapprochement in 2014, several major U.S. outlets highlighted the country’s health care system, unique to the Third World, and one which, according to an article in the New England Journal of Medicine, “has solved some problems that ours has not yet managed to address.” Sound heretical? Not to those who have studied it. Cuba’s health performance Cuba, a country of 11 million people, has achieved health outcomes that are the envy of the Third World. It has one of the lowest infant and young child (under age 5) mortality rates and longest life ...

A YouTube video of a woman angered by a man who confronted her for parking in a disabled parking spot outside a Tim Hortons in Toronto has sparked howls of Internet outrage. The video, posted by the man — named Ryan Favro — has garnered more than one million views since it was posted on Monday. It begins with Favro politely asking the woman about her parking as she returns to her Jeep with her Timmys coffee and ice coffee. “So why do you park in a handicapped parking spot? Are you handicapped?” he is heard asking. “No,” she says, and walks away. “Well, what makes you so special that you can park in a handicapped spot?” he asks. “Record ...

The CEO of Platinum Health Care — a nursing-home chain that recently settled a lawsuit alleging it stole patients’ Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and Veterans Administration payments — is closely linked to five mysterious companies that donated $250,000 to Stand For Truth, a super PAC supporting Ted Cruz. The five limited liability companies, which own or operate assisted living facilities for seniors, each donated $50,000 to Stand for Truth on Dec. 21, 2015. That’s the same day that Platinum Health Care — which shares the same Skokie, Illinois, address as the five LLCs — settled over allegations that CEO Ben Klein and his firms kept seniors’ ...

Russiaville, IN – A pair of law enforcement officers were shot early Sunday morning while serving two ‘drug-related’ search warrants. According to ABC News, one of the search warrants was for “Possession of a Syringe.” It is unclear at this time what the other warrant was for. Deputy Carl Koontz and Sgt. Jordan Buckley allegedly entered the central Indiana home after announcing themselves and receiving no answer from the homeowner(s). According to the Howard County Sheriff’s Department, both officers were met with gunfire upon entering the home. Tragically, Deputy Koontz, was pronounced dead after being mediflighted from the scene of the “gunfight.” ...

The sneaky way Big Pharma is ripping off cancer patients to the tune of $3 billion per year Imagine this scenario. There is only one tire store in your city. You go to the tire store to get some new tires put on your car. The man behind the counter tells you that new tires only come in packs of five. So you have to buy five tires when you may only need four, or two. And there’s one more thing. You can’t keep the extra tires you paid for. They have to throw them away. WASHINGTON — The U.S. federal Medicare program and private health insurers waste nearly $3 billion every year buying cancer medicines that are thrown out because many drug makers distribute the drugs only in ...

ONE of my patients — whom I will call Mrs. B — is a 78-year-old who has had Type 2 diabetes for over 30 years. She takes several injections of insulin each day. Her blood sugars have been running too high, but she doesn’t want to increase the dose of her insulin. She told me she simply can’t afford to.Insulin has been around for almost a century. The World Health Organization considers it an essential medicine, which means it should be available “at a price the individual and the community can afford.” So why is this product increasingly too expensive for many Americans?In the United States, just three pharmaceutical giants hold patents that allow them to ...

"It is human nature and inevitable in my view that we will edit our genomes for enhancements.” —J. Craig Venter This week, Kathy Niakan, a biologist working at the Francis Crick Institute in London received the green light from the UK’s Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority to use genome editing technique CRISPR/Cas9 on human embryos. Niakan hopes to answer important questions about how healthy human embryos develop from a single cell to around 250 cells, in the first seven days after fertilization. By removing certain genes during this early development phase using CRISPR/Cas9, Niakan and her team hope to understand what causes miscarriages and ...

We have for some time been warning that the overuse of antibiotics in animal agriculture threatens to reverse decades of medical advancement. Following recent news, that bacteria resistant to a ‘last resort’ antibiotic, colistin, has been found in both pigs and humans in the UK, it would seem our fears are justified. Emma Rose, Campaigns, Lobbying and Communications Specialist for the Alliance to Save Our Antibiotics says: “The news that resistance to the last line drug, colistin, has been found in bacteria from farm animals and humans in the UK is not altogether surprising. Concerning as these findings are, they are merely an indication of what is to come if we continue to ...
Psychedelics So Much Better than Pills for Trauma, Therapists Now Risking Arrest to Use Them

In study after study, researchers and scientists are once again beginning to extol the miraculous benefits psychedelics offer in treating myriad mental and neurological health conditions — but the vast majority of those scientists, as well as their patients, could be thrown in jail at any time for their efforts. “Nancy Reagan famously said, ‘Just Say No,’” explained psychotherapist Neal Goldsmith, who helps organize the Horizons conference for scientists who research psychedelics. “But the answer, of course, is Just Say ‘Know’; get knowledge and information.” Psychedelics have been stigmatized for decades, in part due to their classification as ...
Wounded U.S. soldier soon to receive first U.S. penis transplant

BALTIMORE (Reuters) - A U.S. soldier wounded in an explosion will be the first person in the United States to receive a penis transplant, doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital said, which could open the way for about 60 other servicemen with genital injuries to have this surgery. Surgeons hope a donated organ from a recently deceased man will provide full function including urination, sensation and sex. The surgery requires joining nerves and blood vessels under a microscope. Doctors and advocates who work with wounded soldiers note that the loss of the penis is one of the most emotionally traumatic injuries because it affects a sense of identity and manhood, especially for men hoping to ...

A report by Minnesota’s Office of the Legislative Auditor released last month, found that more than 80,000 Minnesotans were enrolled in Medicaid, and the state’s Obamacare exchange even though they were ineligible for the services. That incredible number of ineligible enrollees cost Minnesota taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. The problems apparently stem from “miscommunication and poor training at the Department of Human Services.” However, the audit found that, “software issues” are were also blamed for the errors, which seems to be an all too standard bureaucratic excuse these days for any expensive failure within government health care programs. ...

[...] But in their food safety meeting today, Chipotle has reportedly identified the culprit in its other norovirus outbreak: sick Chipotle employees. CNBC just reported the update from inside the nationwide restaurant meeting that shutdown all Chipotle’s simultaneously today. [...] there isn’t much mysterious about the spread of norovirus: It spreads from either person-to-person or from something (food, a countertop) that a sick person has touched. In other words, there was never really much real puzzlement on this subject. The root cause of the norovirus outbreak is almost always traced by the CDC back to sick employees. The bigger question for norovirus is then not what ...
