Daubenmire: Are We Eating Our Children?
This one is not an easy one for me to write. It might be even more difficult for you to read. I know we all run a risk if you simply laugh off what I am about to share with you today.
I am edgy. I get that. People often accuse me of being crazy, harsh, or conspiratorial but everyone who reads my thoughts knows that I don’t pull any punches.
Well, I am going to swing hard today and I am sorry if the punch to the gut makes you sick. I wish there was a softer way to inoculate you from the lies, but Truth and sunlight are the best disinfectant and usually is the best thing to use to lighten your path. I pray you are sitting down while you read this. Continue reading

The noodles that are linked to chronic inflammation, weight gain, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
Instant noodles are a popular go-to lunch or dinner for those who are strapped for time (or cash), like college students. While you probably don’t consider them a health food, you may think they’re not that bad, or, at least, not as bad as eating a burger and fries or a fast-food burrito.
In a first-of-its-kind experiment, however, Dr. Braden Kuo of Massachusetts General Hospital may make you reconsider your love of instant noodles (assuming you have one). Continue reading

Functional recycling: Spent coffee grounds can make soil more fertile
Once you are done with your cup of brewed coffee, what do you do with the used grounds? Do you throw them away as garbage or consign them to the compost heap? Spanish researchers believe that using spent coffee grounds as a means of organic soil amendment will offer many benefits in agriculture and for the environment.
Coffee is a very popular and healthy drink. Its heavy global consumption produces six million tons of used grounds each year. A lot of this biological residue ends up in landfills, to rot alongside the rest of the garbage. Continue reading
POISON: Canola oil is the margarine of yesteryear…
… for uneducated health enthusiasts who have no idea it clogs blood and promotes dementia
What kind of food never spoils? You get one guess. That’s right – the kind you should never eat. So then why do you think most health food stores use canola oil mixed into nearly every packaged and jarred food on their shelves? The honest answer is they’re trying to make more money. Insects won’t go near canola oil – there’s a sign not to eat it right there. Its shelf life runs close to forever. Mix canola oil into salad dressings, mayonnaise, potato salad, macaroni salad, hummus, cereal, or corn chips and their shelf life extends almost indefinitely. Continue reading

Coffee Causing Cancer??
Cup with Bonnie
Scientists have been doing research on a coffee-cancer link for a very long time. Meta-stidies looking at all the scientific literature up to date have clearly shown that not only there is no association between coffee-drinking and cancer, but there is actually a mild inverse correlation between drinking coffee and some type of cancer. In other words, not only does coffee not give you cancer, but it may mildly protect you from some types of cancer, such as breast and liver cancer. Continue reading

A very low-calorie diet can rapidly REVERSE type 2 diabetes
A very low-calorie diet could rapidly reverse type 2 diabetes, new research suggests. A study conducted on mice showed that cutting daily calorie intake by 75 percent lowered blood sugar levels and decreased fat content. In humans, that would mean turning to a diet of 500 to 800 calories opposed to the average 1,600 to 3,000 calorie intake. If confirmed in people, researchers say this could combat the rapidly growing crisis of this chronic disease that affects 29 million Americans… (Continue to full article)

The Real Reason Americans are Getting Dumber
It happened subtly, over the course of a decade or two. Household cleaners went from being largely soap-based to primarily chemical-based. Cosmetics such as lipstick and blush went from being made from bees wax, plant-based extracts, and strawberries to being pumped full of lead, parabens, and synthetic dyes. A loaf of bread went from being nothing more than flour, yeast, sugar, and salt to a confusing concoction of additives and artificial flavorings. Continue reading
