As we come to the close of 2011 and the first year of Health Impact News, we look back on the top stories of 2011 decided by you, the readers, based on number of views for each story. We published over 1300 stories this year, and here are the top 10 most viewed:

1. 80 Uses for Coconut Oil – No other article came close to the views of this one, as it had more than three times the views of the second most read article.

2. Police use Assault Weapons and Tank against Home School Mom wanting to protect daughter from Dangerous Medications – We were among the first ones to break this story in the alternative media.

3. Ex-Vaccine Developer Reveals Lies the Vaccine Industry is Built Upon in Interview – The headline says it all!

4. The Proven Cancer Cure the FDA Has Tried to Suppress – The story of Dr. Burzynski in Texas received a lot of coverage in 2011, and we did our part!

5. “Food Sovereignty” law passed in small Maine town to allow sale of locally produced food without interference of regulators – That law is now being tested as we close 2011.

6. State of Michigan Sues Parents to Force Chemo on Cancer-free Child – This story had a successful ending (so far). It did not get much national coverage, but Facebook coverage helped, and we did our part.

7. Judge who Ruled against Raw Milk in Wisconsin quits to work for Monsanto law firm – Raw milk advocates did not see much success in 2011 in the judicial system, and this story shows at least one possible reason why.
