Household Cleaning Products may be Making Children Fat, Study Suggests
Everyday household cleaning products may be producing unintended consequences for children. According to a study, disinfectants have the ability to change gut bacteria, potentially leading to higher body mass index (BMI). The study, published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, found that those who lived in households where disinfectants were used weekly had a higher risk of being overweight by age 3 than those who lived ...
Research Study: Evidence Proves that Air Pollution Affects the Placenta of Developing Babies
Women tend to be even more careful about their lifestyle and diet when they’re pregnant, but there’s one thing they might be forgetting. According to a study, even unborn infant may be exposed to air pollutants that reach the placenta via the bloodstream of pregnant women. The press release revealed that researchers from Queen Mary University of London were the first to gather evidence that “soot from polluted air can travel ...
New Study Finds Sucralose Is Metabolized and Stored in Your Body
Needless to say, the industry has vehemently defended sucralose (and all other chemical sweeteners), stating that it rapidly passes unmetabolized through your body and therefore has no biological effects. Alas, recent research has punched yet another giant hole in the argument that sucralose is a biologically inert chemical, showing it is in fact metabolized and that it accumulates in fat cells. The study in question was ...
Shocking Study Shows Fracking Is Depleting US Drinking Water Sources at a Catastrophic Rate
According to a study conducted at Duke University revealed that hydraulic fracking is having a catastrophic impact on water supplies throughout the US. The findings of the study suggest that fracking is using far much more water than before, and putting a huge dent in the amount of drinkable water available in water supplies. Hydraulic fracturing is a natural gas extraction method that has become extremely ...
Water Use for Fracking has Risen by up to 770 Percent Since 2011
The amount of water used per well for hydraulic fracturing surged by up to 770 percent between 2011 and 2016 in all major U.S. shale gas and oil production regions, a new Duke University study finds. The volume of brine-laden wastewater that fracked oil and gas wells generated during their first year of production also increased by up to 1440 percent during the same period, the ...
Oxford-based Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine Issues Report: HPV Vaccine Review Loaded With Omissions, Errors
(Infowars) In May 2018, Cochrane, the research organization that bills itself as the “international gold standard for high quality, trusted information,” released a flattering review of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines. The Cochrane review methodology involves pulling together data from clinical trials and reviewing the assembled evidence in what is supposed to be a standardized, systematic and neutral manner. In June, we reported that Cochrane’s sources of funding—agencies and foundations that ...
Study: Threshold for Harmful Chemicals in Drinking Water Lower than Thought
A government study found that chemicals found in drinking water around the country could pose risks to human health at lower levels than the government currently recognizes, potentially opening the door for more states to begin cleaning up or regulating the chemical. The report by a branch of the Office of Health and Human Services examined a category of chemicals commonly called PFAS that have been ...
New Study Examines Impacts of Fracking on Water Supplies Worldwide
Using hydraulic fracturing to extract oil and natural gas from shale is a common technique used worldwide. Because the technique requires large amounts of water, however, it raises the question of whether it could lead to water shortages or competition with other water uses, especially agriculture. In a new paper in the American Geophysical Union journal Earth's Future, Lorenzo Rosa and his colleagues evaluated the impacts ...
The FDA Responds to FOIA Requests Regarding Glyphosate Residue Testing
The Food and Drug Administration has responded to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for information regarding its efforts to start testing food samples for residues of glyphosate as well as some other herbicides, including 2,4-D. Many of those documents can be accessed below: FDA FOIA 2017-7005 FDA FOIA 2017-7005 part 2 FDA Final Responsive Records (2017-7005) Part 3 (Redacted) FDA FOIA 2017-7005 attachments CFSAN Responsive ...
Double Agent, Sergei Skripal, Poisoned to Death: Russia Blamed, but Was it a False Flag?
Sergei Skripal, 66, and his 33-year-old daughter Yulia were found unconscious March 4 on a bench in a shopping mall in Salisbury, about 90 miles west of London. After the attack, British Prime Minister Theresa May said March 12 that Russia is “highly likely” to be responsible for poisoning, revealing to British lawmakers that the nerve agent used against the former spy and his daughter is called ...
