Coca-Cola rolls out a new ad campaign assuring consumers that its no- or low-calorie beverages containing the artificial sweetener aspartame are a safe alternative to sugar.

It’s time for you to learn the truth about cholesterol, and the better indicators of heart disease than just your total cholesterol level. Check out this infographic and help educate others by sharing this with your friends and ...

You may enjoy eating processed, supermarket-bought foods because they taste good, but what if you find out that these products contain a dangerous sweetener that may have long-term effects on your health? This sweetener is none other than high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), the leading source of calories in the United States today. HFCS lurks in many so-called “healthy” food products – even some which are not naturally sweet.

Sugar in general, though, should be reduced and eventually eliminated from your diet. ...

Mercury is one of the most potent neurotoxins found in the environment. Exposure to this heavy metal poses potential psychological, neurological, immunological, and endocrinal damage in your body.

Fluoride is a toxic industrial waste product – it is a poison, and is in no way a “nutrient,” as it does not offer any benefits to the human body. Yet, this damaging compound is being added to your water supply, exposing you to potential dangers every day.

But here’s what’s more disturbing: fluoride is found not only in your drinking water, but also in other seemingly harmless products, some which are found inside your home. And if you’re not careful, ...

Confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) are usually hidden from public view. In fact, certain states like Iowa have considered making it illegal to show undercover videos taken on such farms – often a window to shocking scenes of animal cruelty and filth.

But the truth cannot be hidden. Factory farm animals are getting sicker, dirtier, and  growing freakishly faster by the minute. The environment is bearing the brunt, with the waste from CAFOs considered “mini Chernobyls.” Humans are at risk of ...

This led to the birth of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs, which have been prescribed over a million times worldwide. While these anti-inflammatory drugs are promoted to help individuals deal with pain, they are actually among the most dangerous drugs on the market, causing disorders from gastrointestinal complications and pregnancy problems to heart failure.

This infographic shows the most common NSAIDs and their corresponding ...

Environmental toxins are everywhere, and pregnant women and their unborn child are especially vulnerable to their pernicious effects. These chemicals do not only come from the environment, but may already be inside your home, car, purse – or worse, on your dinner plate!

The reality is, there are about 75,000 distinct chemicals that are produced here in America or imported from abroad. Many of these toxic agents have not been regulated properly. At this very moment, you may be holding in ...
