“S.L. Baker” – Scientists announce amazing findings: chocolate offers huge protection from heart disease and stroke

http://www.naturalnews.com/033463_chocolate_heart_disease.html

Tuesday, August 30, 2011 by: S. L. Baker

(NaturalNews) All regular readers of NaturalNews know that researchers have discovered chocolate (especially the organic, not junked up with additives and sugar type) contains phytochemicals which appear to promote good health. But no one has had much of a clue about the specifics of some of those benefits on the cardiovascular system — until now. Scientists at the European Society of Cardiology Congress currently underway in Paris just announced that chocolate provides huge protection from heart disease as well as stroke.

That’s great news because, despite the billions of dollars spent on mainstream medicine’s drugs and surgical interventions, the battle against cardiovascular disease obviously needs some serious help. Currently, the World Health Organization (WHO) predicts that by 2030 nearly 23.6 million people will die yearly from heart disease.

So just imagine the fluttering of hearts in Big Pharma offices if they found a no side effect, easy to produce drug that actually worked to lower the risk of developing heart disease in the first place by almost 40 percent. The demand and profits to be made would be enormous. While there is no such medication, it turns out that eating chocolate regularly appears to accomplish what pills can’t.

“Ethan A. Huff” – Pro-vaccine agenda in shambles after pivotal Washington meeting

Wednesday, August 31, 2011 by: Ethan A. Huff

(NaturalNews) Efforts to save the sinking pro-vaccination ship are failing, especially after a recent US State Department Listening Meeting during which various non-government organizations (NGOs) presented sound scientific evidence against the continued use of mercury in vaccines. According to a recent article by consumer advocate Tim Bolen in his Bolen Report, the vaccine promotion house of cards is quickly crumbling, and it is becoming increasingly more obvious that special interests, rather than valid science, are driving the pro-vaccine agenda.

Hosted by Deputy Director John Thompson from the US Department of State’s Office of Environmental Policy, the August 18, 2011 meeting included several NGOs that hold seats on the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), which supports countries in dealing with environmental challenges. These NGOs came fully equipped with a well-backed, thoroughly-researched arsenal of facts and information about why mercury has no place in vaccines or dental fillings, while the opposition came with a poorly-crafted, unsigned paper filled with misinformation in defense of maintaining the status quo.

“Mike Adams” – Startup watch: Green PolkaDot Box online retailer to finally make organic, non-GMO foods affordable

http://www.naturalnews.com/033474_Green_Polkadot_Box_organic_groceries.html

By: Mike Adams

(NaturalNews) Something significant is happening in the organic foods industry: There’s a new player on the block, and its name is Green PolkaDot Box. It’s a new online organic store that’s launching in just a few weeks, and it has the potential to save organic and non-GMO consumers thousands of dollars a year on foods and health products.

In this article, I’ll share with you how to join Green PolkaDot Box (it’s free) and start saving money from the very first day it launches (in early October).

What’s especially interesting about this, by the way, is that its launch is being supported by a trio of three well-recognized organizations in the world of organic and non-GMO food: NaturalNews, the Organic Consumers Association and The Institute for Responsible Technology (Jeffrey Smith’s group). All three of us have decided to lend our support to this startup for five reasons:

Reason #1) We all believe that organic and healthy foods currently cost too much when purchased at Whole Foods. We want to support an option that makes these health-enhancing foods more affordable. Of course, we also support local health food stores, but many people live in organic food deserts where organic produce is virtually impossible to come by (most of the Midwest, for example).

MoveOn and around 70 other liberal groups sent a letter (pdf) Tuesday to the president, pleading with him to roll out a jobs plan that matches the scope of the unemployment problem – and signaling that Obama should not unveil a plan whose major selling point was that it could appeal to some Republicans.
