Meet the titanosaur: one of the world’s largest species of dinosaur, which recently made its first public appearance at New York’s Museum of Natural History (AMNH).

America is known for its exceptionalism and that extends all the way down to the type of food we eat. Because of the many cultures and peoples that have come to this nation over the centuries, our food culture is very diverse.

Not all disgruntled employees urinate onto a conveyor belt. But at a Kellogg’s plant in Memphis, Tennessee, one man did. He decided to add a little extra liquid to the rice that would soon become those famous Rice Krispies Treats, Rice Krispies Treats Cereal and/or Puffed Rice Cake Products. But really, don’t the ingredients in these products already have enough sugar and carbohydrates? And it […]

Russia’s consumer protection group, Rospotrebnadzor, said the country has banned all imports of genetically modified (GM) corn, following the results of a French study showing massive tumors in rats after having been fed Monsanto’s GM corn.

Here we go again with glyphosate, that ubiquitous toxin used as Round Up’s primary ingredient. It’s infamous for the ability to kill weeds, along with all those beneficial micro organisms in the soil and in your gut. Oh, yeah, and without it, we can’t feed the world… Not true. Despite the sales pitches and propaganda that farmers will […]

Last Friday marked the fifth year anniversary of the Fukushima Daiichi disaster, and radiation levels are still too high for both humans and robots.

Penicillin. Ciproflaxin. Augmentin. Levaquin. Amoxicillin. Moxiflacin. Let’s hope there isn’t a half filled bottle collecting dust in your bathroom cabinet. You, or a family member, have most likely been prescribed an antibiotic to fight an infection in the duration of your life. And if one antibiotic didn’t work, the doctor prescribed another. If the bacteria in your body outsmarts your […]

I must say, I’m feeling a bit contrarian about the five alarm fires surrounding the discovery of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) in the Honest Company’s laundry detergent. You may be familiar with Jessica Alba’s California company. It began in 2012 when the actress and health advocate discovered what most mothers are forced to reckon with following childbirth. The world is swathed by […]

Mental illness is one of the greatest epidemics of modern times and is on par with cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Instead of seeking a cure, however, Big Pharma treats mental illness as just another disease, which can be mitigated by mind altering drugs.

Oh my. Here we go with another article about a scientific brain research project. This time it’s about urban dwellers who are stressed: “Brooding, which is known among cognitive scientists as morbid rumination, is a mental state familiar to most of us, in which we can’t seem to stop chewing over the ways in which things […]

This Friday marks the five-year anniversary of the Fukushima disaster. In March 2011, a massive earthquake off the coast of Japan triggered a tsunami that crippled three nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant.

A new study published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health has just called into question the safety of popular artificial sweetener Splenda (sucralose).
