At that time, autism prevalence was 16.8 cases per 1,000 children; the latest data from 2018 show autism prevalence to be 23 cases per 1,000 children, an increase of 37% since the time the article was published. The incidence rate in 2000 was 6.7 cases per […]
Troubling signs about the future of healthcare in this country show the urgent need to embrace regenerative health solutions. A new analysis found that US life expectancy has dropped for the second year in a row, by about six months in 2021, after falling by two years in 2020. This has driven overall US life […]
From Moms Across America. On March 3, 2022, Moms Across America and a team of highly reputable scientists and experts met with the Pesticide Review Board of the US Environmental Protection Agency regarding the EPA’s review of glyphosate. The presenters intended to provide new evidence to support the revocation of glyphosate’s license. The Moms Across […]
Modern agriculture has made food plentiful and abundant—but not healthy. Half of the American population has a chronic disease, utilizing 86 percent of health care dollars. Oftentimes the blame is placed on those who are ill for their lifestyle choices. But the numbers tell a different story: as small farmers started getting squeezed out of […]
From the Real Organic Project After decades of lobbying the National Organic Program, last Tuesday the USDA, at last, announced an Origin of Livestock Final Rule. It will require all certified organic dairy cows to be raised as organic from the last third of gestation. This will close a giant loophole that industrial “organic” dairies have […]
This Washington Post article highlights the importance of emphasizing regenerative health solutions, particularly for communities hit hardest by toxic exposures. We’re learning more and more how much chronic disease is less the result of individual lifestyle choices and more to do with exposures to the myriad toxins that permeate the modern world. When we talk […]
New research shows that plastic waste creates a perfect breeding environment for disease-carrying mosquitoes. The ubiquity of plastics, particularly microplastics, and their effects on human health make this an issue of pressing public health concern, both in the developing world and in the industrialized world. Microplastics have been shown to accumulate in the lungs, increase […]
From Beyond Pesticides Glyphosate and glyphosate-based herbicides (GBH) like Roundup® induce DNA damage and alter biological mechanisms (gene regulatory microRNAs [miRNAs or miRs]) associated with cancer development. According to the study published in Toxicological Sciences, DNA damage mainly occurs through oxidative stress from GBH exposure. Moreover, DNA damage and other biological mechanisms that cause carcinogenicity (cancer) […]
From Medical News Today A large new observational study has found an association between the consumption of artificial sweeteners, particularly aspartame and acesulfame-K, and cancer. The study found a 13% higher risk of cancer in general, with the highest likelihood of developing breast cancer and cancers related to obesity, for people consuming large quantities of artificial sweeteners. The […]
