This is *really* stupefying. If you ever had any doubt that the system employed to educate (er, subjugate) physicians is not about health, rather about pecuniary ($$$) gain and the priming of good people who happen to be physicians as drug pushers, this will set that doubt to rest.

Contemporary medicine is not designed to achieve health. It is designed to prolong and expand sickness while reducing patients' experiences of sickness. You can witness this iterative pattern in virtually every direction you look across the landscape of today's medical system.

Commonly used in household products, antimicrobial agents called quats were found to inhibit mitochondrial function and to impair estrogen signaling.

"You are what you eat." ...And breath and walk through and sit next to.

One's digestive biome (environment) may play a larger role in the volume of fat one packs around than even genes. Find out how in this TED Talks video.

Rob Knight is a pioneer in studying human microbes, the community of tiny single-cell organisms living inside our bodies that have a huge — and largely unexplored — role in our health. “The three pounds of microbes that you carry around with you might be more important than every single gene you car...

The message of food quality is spreading wider and deeper as one public figure after another shared the message from their own unique vantage points.

Five-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady blasts big food companies, referring to them as more like “chemical companies than anything else,” in his new self-help book out Tuesday.
