10 Healthy Reasons To Enjoy Real Butter

Butter has gotten a bad rap for many years and since the early 1920’s, it has been pushed aside in favor of margarine and other fad fats and vilified as a deadly saturated fat that causes heart disease. Yet for thousands of years before that, butter was a dietary staple of many cultures with no evidence of adverse health effects. So how likely is it that butter is killing us?

Salt Reduction Recommendations Wrong: CDC Study

The CDC commissioned the IOM to do a study on salt. The results are in and clear: The evidence shows that limiting yourself to the amount of salt the CDC recommends will harm your health. So what does the CDC do about it? Nothing, of course! You truly must ask why this is? Is the CDC’s goal to destroy American’s health? Their own commissioned study has found that intake of 1,500-2,300 mg of sodium per day is harmful to precisely this group of people. To be frank, the only explanation must be that the CDC is little more than a front for Big Pharma. As long as they can continue to point the finger of blame at people themselves, the more they can justify pushing drugs on them. As long as the high blood pressure hysteria can be maintained by blaming salt, the easier it is to get people to take their blood pressure and cholesterol drugs.

Dangerous Vaccines Found to Cause Symptoms of Shaken Baby Syndrome

Could vaccinations cause the “triad” of injuries associated with SBS? Parents have been blamed of child abuse if their child is diagnosed with the “triad” of injuries associated with Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) after receiving a vaccine. The “triad” includes bleeding inside the brain, bleeding behind the eyes and swelling or inflammation of the brain, but are these brain injuries really due to the vaccination and not to abuse?

Crack Down on Those Who Don’t Vaccinate? A Legal Response

Despite the fact that vaccines are neither completely safe nor completely effective, there are those who argue that people who contract infectious disease should be able to recover damages from unvaccinated people who spread it. This desire to hold liable families who are lawfully exercising religious freedom, while letting industry have almost complete liability protection seems peculiarly asymmetrical and unjust.

Cranberry Juice Regulates Insulin And Decreases Heart Disease Risks

Just two months of drinking cranberry juice is associated with a regulation of insulin sensitivity and energy, and a decrease in homocysteine, an amino acid linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) according to a new study.

Darwin’s Doubt: The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the Case for Intelligent Design

Charles Darwin knew that there was a significant event in the history of life that his theory did not explain. In what is known today as the “Cambrian explosion,” 530 million years ago many animals suddenly appeared in the fossil record without apparent ancestors in earlier layers of rock. In Darwin’s Doubt Stephen C. Meyer tells the story of the mystery surrounding this explosion of animal life—a mystery that has intensified, not only because the expected ancestors of these animals have not been found, but also because scientists have learned more about what it takes to construct an animal.

Home Birth Safer Than Hospital Birth: Nation-Wide Study Netherlands

Yet another study, this one consisting of every birth in The Netherlands over two years, demonstrates that home births are safer than hospital births. Women are more than twice as lifely to end up in intensive care if they give birth in a hospital! Nonetheless, birth has been medicalized, resulting in enormous harm to both mothers and babies.

Stimulant Drugs for Children? A Ridiculous Concept

Doctors continue to prescribe a myriad of psychoactive drugs that have neither been properly studied nor proved to be effective. Today, children are being prescribed these stimulant drugs at an alarming rate. No one stops to consider the effects of diet and nutrition on a growing child's mental health. I have always marveled at the power of Big Pharma. They can take a dangerous class of medications—stimulants—which are addictive and prone to serious adverse effects, and convince both doctors and parents they are safe to give to children.
