Dangerour for your health
Studies confirm: GMO causes obesity
Obesity is one of the most urgent and fastest growing health issues in the world.
The statistics show that it affects as much as one third of the world's population.
In spite of vocal warnings from the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of obese people has been growing year in, year out.
Experts predict that a half of the world's population will suffer from this problem by 2050.
The statistics presented are particularly worrying since excessive weight significantly contributes to many diseases
How is toilet bowl destroying your health
For thousands of years all humans met their basic physiological need - bowel movements - in the natural way, in a crouched position.
They barely knew of most of today's intestinal diseases such as hemorrhoids, constipation, colon cancer and Crohn's disease.
And then the modern technology began to creep into all areas of life at a rapid pace, including the bathrooms.
Modern seating toilet bowls were produced, and with them came many health problems.
In today's era of modern and luxurious habits, squatting during a bowel movement is spoken of as an old-fashioned and uncomfortable position.
This is unfortunate, because according to the latest research, the sitting position while defecating is responsible for many diseases today.
Why You Should Quit Smoking TODAY
There are more then billion smokers in the world.
Amongst them there are many who decided to stop this habit but in the end they gave up because they could not resist the temptation and “have just one more smoke”.
Some have to abandon this bad habit due to health problems.
If it is still hard for you to resist cigarettes this article might motivate you to stop smoking – today.
This article contains information about health risks of smoking and reveals the benefits you will have once you stop with this bad habit.
Organic Food Reduces the Amount of Pesticides in Your Body for 89%
In developed countries one of the most fast growing food productions is the production of organic and locally produced food.
People are becoming more and more aware of the importance of healthy nutrition and are choosing organic and natural products.
Also many local farmers are producing various eco products and many healthy food markets are being opened in many European countries.
Croatia also started following this trend and the increased interest in healthy nutrition and healthy life can be noticed.
Croatia has clean unpolluted environment that is suitable for producing organic and unpolluted food.
The fact is that Croatia has a long tradition of natural food production that has been passed from generation to generation.
This is an excellent basis for the production of healthy food that is not polluted with toxins.
Monsanto Herbicide Roundup Causes Hormone Disbalance – Even if the Level are Below Recommended Scale
European scientists have conducted a scrutinized security check of glyphosate, active ingredient found in Monsanto herbicide Roundup.
They have determined that glyphosate affects the hormone disbalance in humans even in a dosage that is quite below the one official authorities hold as “safe” while using it for destroying weeds or sprinkling crops.
As determined, herbicides that are based on glyphosate (GlyBH) are wrongly considered as safe by many official authorities.
The government enacted regulations on their safety that were based only on researches financed by GMO companies and that were all made in the interest of glyphosate.
At the same time, they are ignoring independent researches such as the ones conducted by International Agency for Cancer Research (IACR) that show that glyphosate is “probably carcinogenic” for humans.
Scientists from French Caen University also warn of poisonous effects of glyphosate.
Toxins That Make You Gain Weight
Most people keep products in their households that contain substances dangerous to health.
But did you know that these substances can cause weight problems?
There are more and more researches which show that toxins coming from the environment may cause gaining weight.
Some experts claim that the main cause for this problem is in toxins contained in cosmetics, food, abstergents and toxins coming from the environment which affect the natural regulation of body weight.
There is also a connection with diabetes because they hider the body’s ability to regulate sugar and cholesterol, which in time can lead to insulin resistance.
Chinese rice fields poisoned by heavy metal tungsten
Renowned online news magazine Natural News has informed that in many rice protein products imported from Asia alarming levels of heavy metal tungsten were found.
This metal is associated with a high rate of leukemia.
Scientists who study leukemia determined the possible link between this disease and the element tungsten (W) in the body.
In the area of Fallon in Nevada and Sierra Vista in Arizona, industrial plants have been releasing large amounts of tungsten in the air, significantly increasing the amount of heavy metals in the environment.
In these areas the researchers found an increased incidence of leukemia.
Little-Known Dangers of Blood Transfusion
Blood transfusion has developed into an important and commonly used medical therapy, even though its efficiency and security was never tested as it is the case with other medicines and therapies.
Blood transfusion can be a life saving measure in cases of major blood loss or during an operation.
It has been used for treating anemia and thrombocytopenia.
The procedure is regarded as safe but still bears some risk of complications.
Complications can occur during the transfusion or several weeks, months even years later.
American Mayo Clinic describes some of the most common risks of blood transfusion - some of them might surprise you.
Traces of hazardous herbicides found in European cereals
Traces of glyphosate, a hazardous and toxic ingredients of GMO Roundup herbicide, were found in the products of major British producer of non-GMO food.
This finding raises the question of security of all of us and leads to a horrifying thought that GMOs are increasingly present regardless of the high awareness of their harmful effects.
British website The Ecologist published a study of the British anti-GMO group called GM Freeze.
Of the 40 types of bread products by the food giant Warburtons, traces of dangerous herbicides were found in as many as 34.
Glyphosate is found in products by a company named Jordans.
This finding is particularly worrisome, because these are the big names in the food industry.
Traces of hazardous herbicides that were found in the products of these manufacturers were below the maximum level.
India - a victim of pharmaceutical terror?
The lack of regulatory oversight in India provides pharmaceutical industry with cheap and unscrupulous testing of new and potentially dangerous drugs on humans.
As a country with the world's second largest population, India has become the focus of pharmaceutical terror, according to NaturalNews.
Companies, mostly from the West, abuse the extremely poor Indians and subject them to immoral clinical trials.
Over 1,500 Indians died during clinical trials in the period between 2010 and 2012.
The number of those whose health is damaged by experimental drugs is much higher.
Finally, the Indian Supreme Court intervened by ordering the Ministry of Health to clarify its approval for 162 new clinical trials that are planned to be conducted in their country.
The dangers of using air conditioners
Who could endure the scorching summer heat without air conditioning?
In hot climates air conditioning is not a luxury but an essential element for surviving during the hot, humid days.
But unfortunately, like many other modern conveniences, air conditioning has its drawbacks.
Are they severe enough to compel you to think twice before using the air conditioner?
Many believe they are.
Most of the problems associated with air conditioning are caused by improper use of this device.
Many think that the more the air conditioning is turned on, the better. Of course it is not.
Antiperspirants and deodorants contain chemicals hazardous to health
Many people assume that a deodorant and an antiperspirant are the same thing.
You might be surprised to learn that this is not the case. Antiperspirants contain chemicals that clog pores and thereby prevent sweating.
On the other hand, deodorants allow perspiration, but inhibit perspiration odor.
Many people think (and advertisements promote that belief) that if you do not use an antiperspirant, you will offend the people around you.
Even when you use a deodorant which prevents the odour of sweat, you might feel uncomfortable because you still sweat or think the odours of sweat and the deodorant mix.
Despite this common opinion, most deodorants not only conceal the smell of sweat, but destroy the bacteria that cause the odor because of their antiseptic additives.
Caution - harmful chemicals come from China via the clothes you buy
Have you ever visited a Chinese clothing store?
Surely you have experienced an unusual artificial fragrance.
That fragrance comes from a number of chemicals that are banned in the EU and the United States, but are permitted in China and other Asian countries, said Natural News.
And in Asia we find a large part of production for the Western market.
Consumers are mistaken if they think that synthetic fibers and colors in clothing they buy are medically safe.
Unfortunately, this is not the case.
For over half a century, people have suffered consequences of harmful chemicals that are coming into contact with their skin.
Half the population of the U.S. is on a pill
American Center for Disease Control has recently released the latest health statistics of the United States.
According to their report, 50% of the U.S. population takes a minimum of one type of pill every day.
It's hard to believe this, right? But that's not all.
Statistics show that 30% of the population are taking more than two types of pills, and 10% - more than 5 types of pills a day!
Statistics are not any better for children. Every fifth child takes at least one pill every day.
The worst situation is among elderly people. Nine out of ten elderly people are using some sort of pills. It is hard to believe, but it is true.
Chemicals in perfumes that endanger health
Although your perfume smells like magic, it is very likely that it is nothing but a toxic mix of chemicals.
The ingredients of perfumes and deodorants are not limited to natural flavors and essential oils (no matter what advertisements tell you!).
List of ingredients often includes a full range of chemicals such as formaldehyde, toluene, methylene chloride, benzaldehyde and phthalates.
These chemicals can cause a number of adverse consequences which affect the respiratory system, liver, kidneys, nervous system and reproductive organs.
These toxins can disrupt the function of the endocrine system, and studies are linking them to infertility and many types of cancer.
How to survive radioactive pollution
When I was writing this article, the Americans await the arrival of the radioactive cloud caused by the Japanese nuclear disaster.
Although the radioactive cloud should lose power while it crosses the ocean, people are afraid of radioactive fallout (pollution).
According to some estimates, when the cloud reaches the shores of America, its radioactive strength should be 750 RAD or more. For comparison: the power of one X-ray screening is 1 RAD.
RAD - radiation absorbed dose – is the unit used for measuring the dose of radiation absorbed by the body after exposure to radiation.
But pollution will not only affect America. Over time, the radiation will "scatter" in the atmosphere, which means that it will fall on the ground with rain and will contaminate soil, water and crops around the world.
A young woman spoke about the terrible health problems she faced after vaccination with Gardasil
Skeptics are skilled in refuting evidence pointing to the harmful effects of vaccines and interpret such evidence as limited or anecdotal.
However, side effects associated with vaccines are serious for many people, including Brittney Fist.
This young woman is in a constant struggle with the effects of Gardasil, a vaccine against the infamous human papillomavirus (HPV).
This vaccine has left once vital and healthy young woman bedridden and stricken with seizures.
The text was published in May on HormonesMatter.com portal, her mother Roxie remembers how her daughter's health deteriorated rapidly after vaccination with Gardasil in 2007.
The story is all too familiar - a young woman full of energy and ambition reduced to an almost vegetative state, struggling to get out of bed and function without collapse and serious attacks during the day.
Artificial colors reveal you eat “garbage food”
Fast and industrially processed food during the production process loses its color, taste and smell.
That is why prior to final packaging and serving the manufacturers add artificial colors, flavors and scent that will improve the appearance of a dull mixture.
What colors do you need to pay attention to?
Caramel color that is used in many soft drinks, ice cream, sweets and ready-made sauces for meat has little to do with caramel.
Rather than being made of melted sugar, the caramel color is synthetically produced through a chemical reaction of sugar, ammonia and sulphite.
This process results in chemicals 2-methyimidazolel and 4-methyimidazolel, which are associated with thyroid problems, liver and lung cancer and leukemia.
There are four types of caramel color, and the two that are obtained with the help of ammonia can harm health.
Bottled water contains more than 20,000 potentially hazardous chemicals
If you think that bottled water is a much better choice than tap water, you are far from the truth.
Recent studies in Germany have shown that besides the already known BPA (bisphenol A), bottled water may contain over 20,000 other toxic chemicals.
Among them is diethylhexyl fumarate (DEHF) – a chemical that interferes with the human hormonal system.
The discovery was made by Martin Wagner and his colleague Jorg Oehlmann from Goethe University in Frankfurt, along with a team of researchers from the German Federal Institute of Hydrology.
Using the cutting-edge technology they studied 18 types of bottled water for the presence of chemicals that disrupt the performance of the endocrine system (EDC).
During their study, they have identified more than 24,520 different chemicals.
Ceramic "eco" pans are more dangerous than Teflon pans
Have you, after reading about the harmfulness of Teflon, decided to throw Teflon cookware out of your kitchen?
Are you looking for new, healthier and safer dishes?
Have you perhaps considered those beautiful white pots and pans with a "revolutionary" ceramic coating?
Although it is written that these products are "green", "eco" and "healthy", these pans are perhaps more dangerous than Teflon.
6 deadly antibiotics
The fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics, either taken orally or via injection, represents a threat of permanent damage to the nerves, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has claimed.
This damage can occur soon after you start taking fluoroquinolones and may be permanent.
Peripheral neuropathy is the nerve damage in the hands or feet, characterized by pain, tingling, numbness, weakness or changes in sensation of touch.
FDA has previously warned that these drugs can cause damage to the tendon.
Fluoroquinolones are associated with damage to other organs, including the kidneys, eyes, and musculoskeletal system.
They poison us while eating organic food!
Companies that produce GMOs are among the most powerful in the world.
They are backed by powerful politicians, even the presidents.
But look and behold, the most powerful people in the world do not buy their own products, at least not for their own consumption.
Judging from the data collected around the world, the contrast between dietary practices of the powerful and their favoring of the spread of unhealthy food cannot be greater.
Ultrasound - a blow to the health of unborn children
Ultrasound can adversely affect the brain development of fetuses, which means that pregnant women should not undergo frequent and unnecessary ultrasound scans.
It is the conclusion of a team of scientists from Yale University.
Under the leadership of Croatian neurologist Pasko Rakic, a team of researchers conducted a study in which they found that ultrasound harms brain development of unborn mice, and that it could have the same effect on children.
The results of this study were published in August 2006 in the prestigious journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and echoed in a number of international media, including CNN, Reuters and the New York Times.
Fact: a common ingredient in bakery products is obtained from human hair that comes from China
In the times past, bread was made by hand from flour and water with the addition of yeast or sourdough.
The process of making bread lasted for hours, often through the night.
Today, the bakery products are made on the industrial lane.
The process of bread manufacture, from the moment the dough is made to packaging and selling the finished product, today lasts even less than 4 hours.
To achieve this, manufacturers use a variety of accessories - acidity regulators, flavor enhancers, colors and compounds for strengthening the dough and for preventing the formation of lumps.
All this is done to return lost taste and smell of bread, and to improve the damage done by its fast preparation.
The danger of amalgam tooth fillings
Amalgam is being used for many years as a product for filling teeth damaged by cavities.
Tooth fillings made of amalgam are known as “silver fillings”.
Despite the known fact that “silver fillings” contain up to 50% of mercury, in most countries they are still considered as safe for human health.
Furthermore, many dentists give them priority because they are mechanically more resilient and are twice as lasting as white tooth fillings.
One of the advantages of amalgam tooth fillings is their price, which means they are available to anyone.
Shocking - toxicity with bisphenol A has now reached 100 percent
New research published in the Environmental Science & Technology journal fully exposes the government's lie that a chemical from plastic - bisphenol-A (BPA) - is not harmful or permanent in humans.
The latest assessment of fetal exposure to BPA has concluded that 100% of small and unborn children have BPA circulating in their bloodstream, indicating a general poisoning with this ubiquitous toxin.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says that after an individual is exposed to BPA this chemical is completely metabolized in the liver, which makes it harmless.
But real science reveals the opposite is the trugh - BPA usually ends up circulating in the active form throughout the bloodstream.
Bisphenol A - the silent killer of your health
Are you still using those beautiful colorful plastic boxes in your kitchen?
Do you have a habit of eating from plastic containers?
Do you drink water from plastic bottles, which you then - God forbid! – leave in the car and exposed to the sun?
Do not do it! Regardless what the mainstream media are saying, plastic is really dangerous for your health.
Plastics contains bisphenol A and other toxic compounds (vinyl chloride, dyes, additives, phthalates), which destroy your body on a daily basis.
Twelve highly toxic chemicals that you should throw out from your home
Eighty thousands different, untested chemicals, which have not proven to be safe, are used around the world.
Many of them are known to be dangerous, but they are unfortunately still on sale.
These 12 chemicals are extremely dangerous and can undermine not only your health, but also the health of your offspring.
Avoid them as much as possible!
1. DEET (dietiltoluamide) is the active ingredient in products for protection against insects.
Most people use repellents with this ingredient, which proved to be toxic to the central nervous system.
Sitting is the worst thing you can do to your body
Your chair is your worst enemy!
For most of us sitting is a daily "activity".
We sit 8 hours at work, then drive home in the car, and then sit in the chair and turn on the TV.
But according to the latest research published in the journal Medicine, Science in Sports and Exercise, sitting is the worst thing you can do to your body.
If you spend most of the day sitting - at work or in front of the TV at home - you have a greater risk of diabetes, obesity, several types of cancers, heart attacks and premature death.
Energy drinks: side effects that you should know
A bottle of energy drink is a popular way to get the necessary energy when you simply don't have the time to sleep. Unfortunately, the price for an additional 3 or 4 hours of activity is too high.
Even natural energy drinks harm your body.
Energy drink is a soft drink that - according to the claims of manufacturers - instantly increases energy levels in the body.
There are several studies that confirm that energy drinks really increase the mental and cognitive abilities, alertness and physical endurance for short periods of time.
Greenpeace warns: clothes of many manufacturers contains life-threatening chemicals
As if it is not enough to be poisoned by food and beverages, we also inflict damage to ourselves with clothes we wear.
According to information from Greenpeace, many clothing manufacturers use harmful chemicals.
But why is that such a problem and how such clothing can affect health?
The problem is that harmful chemicals from the clothing come in contact with the skin, which has the power of absorption, and that way harmful chemicals enter our bodies.
This product damages liver, raises blood pressure and increases the risk of diabetes
Maybe you will not believe it, but we are talking about sugar.
We have already written several times about the harmful effects of sugar. This time a confirmation comes from the scientists.
Before sugar was considered harmful only because of its empty calories, but now scientists have discovered a number of harmful effects sugar has on our health.
Genetically modified mosquitoes will soon be released into the environment
Alliance for mosquito control, with the help of private company Oxitec Insect Technology, plans to launch the release of GMO mosquitoes in Florida.
The first release of GMO mosquitoes occurred in the Cayman Islands in 2009, and the second in Malaysia in 2010.
Now the residents of Florida, like the citizens of the Cayman Islands and Malaysia, will be exposed to these genetically created insects without their consent.
The FDA finally warns of serious side effects of cholesterol-lowering drugs
Nearly 32 million Americans currently take statin drugs to lower their cholesterol levels, but they are probably completely unaware that these drugs can come with side effects like diabetes and memory loss. Why don't they know? Because until recently, the FDA didn't require these drugs to carry a warning of these possible dangers.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the need for new warnings for popular statin drugs like Lipitor, Zocor and Crestor. The new labels warn doctors and patients that statin drugs can cause hyperglycemia (i.e. high blood sugar levels) and increase the risk of developing diabetes.
Caution - glucose-fructose syrup!
You wanted to snack a single cookie, but then you have realized you have eaten a whole box?
Are you quenching your thirst with fizzy drinks, but still want to drink more?
The reason is not the lack of self-discipline, but a type of sugar that is found in most processed products.
It is called glucose-fructose syrup.
Radiation - the invisible killer
During the 50-es of last century, Dr. Ernst Hartmann started showing intense interest in the global network, which he thoroughly researched and has proved its malignancy.
He found that it consists of meridians that extend in north-south direction every 2.5 m and of parallels extending from east to west every 2 m.
Places where the meridians and parallels intersect represent nodes that were named Hartmann nodes after the man who discovered them.
All the power of Earth’s magnetic energy is concentrated in these nodes and standing on such nodes can be harmful to human, animal and even plant organisms.
Mycotoxins – danger lurking from molds
Mycotoxins (from Greek mykes – mushroom and toxikon – poison) are secondary products or half-products created in metabolism processes of molds.
They are poisonous and have negative biological consequences on humans and animals.
Molds produce these poisons while they are present in food that is planned for human or animal usage.
They multiply when temperature and moisture conditions are favorable.
This popular procedure has tripled the risk of cancer for 1.65 million people during the last year
Evidences against routine usage of many usual screening methods, such as mammography and CT scans, are pilling up.
Recent reports discover that adults are undergoing too many such procedures.
Such reports are followed by reports that warn that some of those screenings, apart from causing cancer, can cause the creation of new carcinomas in patients that had already been cured of cancer.
Aspartame – the most dangerous modern sweetener?
More than twenty countries have approved the use of aspartame in thousands of food products.
But, this is not a cause for celebration, although aspartame is 200 times sweeter than sugar.
This artificial sweetener allows food manufacturers to advertise their sweet food items as food items with a low caloric value, dietary food items or even food items without sugar.
That way they are deceiving consumers that wish to decrease sugar amounts in their diet.
Decreased sugar amounts in one’s diet are a great idea, but have in mind that aspartame is not a good substitution for sugar.
Beware of the "sweet death"
Do you eat mostly healthy foods, but occasionally drink sugary juices and eat some desserts?
According to a new research, even the "moderate" amounts of sugar, which were previously considered acceptable by mainstream medicine, can cause chronic health problems and increased mortality.
Researchers from the University of Utah found that only three cans of sweetened drinks a day are harmful for our reproductive organs.
Side effects hidden in antidepressants - violence, depression and suicide
In light of recent events, the impact of antidepressants on violent behavior definitely needs to be investigated, and as soon as possible.
We have already heard that antidepressants can cause very dangerous side effects, such as homicides and suicides.
American organization Safe Medication Practices has published in 2010 a list of commonly prescribed drugs, which carry a unusually high number of cases of violence.
Among them are antidepressants, antipsychotics and stimulants used for attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity (ADHD).
Shortened drug approval process: gain for patients or pharmacists?
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently issued a decision to speed up the process of approving drugs for cancer.
This, they claim, has made these experimental drugs more easily available to many patients who do not respond to conventional chemotherapy and radiation.
There is no doubt that hundreds of thousands of people are eagerly waiting for more effective therapies against cancer.
In most countries, including the US, the drug approval procedure is time-consuming and sometimes takes up to ten years.
