Kale: Kale is a superfood that blows other leafy greens out of the ballpark. Not only is it an excellent source of calcium, iron, protein, and vitamins A and C, it’s also packed with several cancer-fighting properties. The phytonutrients in kale help protect against cell damage caused by free radicals. Kale is as versatile as lettuce and can be steamed, marinated, sautéed, baked into chips, and tossed into salads raw.

Corporate Giant Nestlé Makes Contradictions Concerning GMOs

GMOs are not the answer, Nestlé personnel says, but they’ll follow the money. Nestlé has taken measures to calculate its water footprint and educate farmers to practice sustainable farming, but has meanwhile wiggled over $1 million to the “Say No to 37” campaign. (The campaign fights the proposal to label genetically modified organisms—GMOs–in California.)

Nestlé Supports Sustainability (Or Not)

Nestlé has been caught contradicting itself, however. While one of its hands pushes against GMO-labeling, the other—the Swiss one—is championing sustainable agriculture. Hans Jöhr, Nestlé’s corporate head of sustainable agriculture, proclaims that GM isn’t the solution to world hunger.

There are a lot of new breeding technologies today that don’t use GM food. You can do a lot of things without GM. GM per se is not a golden bullet, but may be an interesting tool in the box.

While Jöhr may have the right idea, Nestlé USA isn’t cooperating.

Fluoride Can Kill: Beware of Hidden Sources

Many medical authorities warn that excess fluoride has been linked to a myriad of health problems including heart ailments, Alzheimer's, bone disorders, and cancer.

But did you know that you can get the mineral from sources besides toothpaste and fluoride-supplemented drinking water?

Many products contain fluoride, including tea, wine, soda, infant formula, and foods with soy.

"Fluoride is a very powerful cardiac poison," warns Russell Blaylock, M.D., renowned neurosurgeon and author of 'The Blaylock Wellness Report.'

And it's even more detrimental when it is combined with aluminum, says Dr. Blaylock. Aluminum is sometimes added as a clarifier to water supplies along with fluoride. "The two combine to create a brain toxin that's powerful in incredibly small concentrations," he tells Newsmax Health.
