The doctor who first suggested a link between MMR vaccinations and autism has been struck off the medical register. The case did not investigate whether Dr. Wakefield’s findings were right or wrong, instead it focused on the methods of research. Hayden’s Note: That’s because when you can’t attack the data or refute the evidence, you attack the messenger or methods. This is a scam to discredit Dr. Wakefield.

A recent study found that 46 out of 50 cans tested had traces of Bisphenol A — more commonly known as BPA. BPA is an additive used to make shatter proof plastics. Canned foods are generally lined with a light layer of plastic containing BPA. Once canned, the chemical seeps into the food inside and then into our bodies. BPA has been linked to various health issues including cancer, heart disease, thyroid issues and obesity.

Children exposed to higher levels of a type of pesticide found in trace amounts on commercially grown fruit and vegetables are more likely to have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder than children with less exposure. Organophosphates are “designed” to have toxic effects on the nervous system, “That’s how they kill pests.” Detectable levels of pesticides are present in a large number of fruits and vegetables sold in the U.S.,

Many people are always asking about what is the big fuss over “grass fed” when it comes to beef, eggs and dairy. The big fuss is about choosing a better quality of meat that is more in line with what our bodies were designed to use. Here are 10 graphs showing the major differences in grain fed vs. grass fed cows.

People use all sorts of remedies for bee or wasp stings. Some swear by vinegar and baking soda, others use tobacco juice or toothpaste. But what about a freshly cut onion? Read more about the enzymes that make onions one of the most effective treatments!

Of all the sneaky tactics practiced in Washington D.C., this recent action by Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA) is one of the most insidious: While no one was looking, he injected amendment language into the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2009 (H.R. 4173) that would expand the powers of the FTC to terrorize nutritional supplement companies by allowing the FTC to make its own laws that target dietary supplement companies. *** Hayden’s Note Attached ***

While nicotine is obviously less potent than heroin, it’s addicting qualities are far greater. And Big Tobacco has spent the last several decades perfecting this deadly concoction. I never gave it much thought because I have always been a dedicated customer of Big Tobacco. But now, in my attempt to wrangle free from their grasp, I find it mildly amusing at how difficult the Federal Government and FDA have made my escape attempt. The Government is dominating the nicotine field here in America while it dominates the heroin trade in Afghanistan.

“If accepted [S 510], would preclude the public’s right to grow, own, trade, transport, share, feed and eat each and every food that nature makes. It will become the most offensive authority against the cultivation, trade and consumption of food and agricultural products of one’s choice…”

Wholesale prices rose more than expected last month as food prices surged by the most in 26 years. Food prices jumped by 2.4 percent in March, the most since January 1984. Vegetable prices soared by more than 49 percent, the most in 15 years.

Upwards of 90% of all corn, soybeans and cotton are grown from genetically engineered seeds, also known as genetically modified organisms (GMOs). A study by the International Journal of Biological Sciences revealed that Monsanto’s Mon 863, Mon 810, and Roundup herbicide-absorbing NK 603 in corn caused kidney and liver damage in laboratory rats. They also discovered damage to the heart, spleen, adrenal glands and even the blood of rats that consumed the mutant corn. This hasn’t slowed down Monsanto’s profit machine. In 2008, Monsanto cleared over $2 billion in net profits on $11 billion in revenues and is expecting gross margins in Q2 2010 of 62%.
