(NaturalNews) Whether you're a strict vegetarian or simply an omnivore seeking to lower your intake of animal protein, you may find vegetarian convenience foods, such as veggie burgers, a tempting addition to your grocery cart.
Beware, however, as many of the most readily available brands of veggie burgers betray the healthy impulse that makes you reach for them in the freezer section. The recipes for most commercial veggie burgers rely on industrial ingredients that may put your health at risk. As you read the following ingredients lists, keep in mind that yeast extract, hydrolyzed proteins and autolyzed proteins are all hidden forms of MSG, containing "free glutamate. " Boca is one of the most readily available veggie burger brands, offered even in many grocery stores without a health food section. HealthRanger: Years of social unrest on...

How about the rising debt of the United States? If not, you should be, because these events are very likely to have a real effect on your future quality of life and safety. Last week leaders from the world's top 20 economies were warned that a social tsunami is coming if their economies tank in the form of massive unrest that could even lead to the collapse of some governments. The United Nations International Labor Organization says souring economies will bring the loss of millions of jobs, a phenomenon that is likely to trigger social chaos on an unprecedented scale.

Ted Deutch, D-Fla., has an idea - it's time to strip corporations of "personhood" banning their money from the political process. "No matter how long protesters camp out across America, big banks will continue to pour money into shadow groups promoting candidates more likely to slash Medicaid for poor children than help families facing foreclosure," says Deutch in a statement released last week. His legislation, called the "OCCUPIED Amendment" (Outlawing Corporate Cash Undermining the Public Interest in our Elections and Democracy), overturns a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision (Citizens United v Federal Election Commission) that considers corporate campaign contributions to federal elections as an exercise in free speech. Deutch's act would reestablish Congress as the supreme authority in deciding federal campaign laws, while limiting the amount of money for-profit corporations can contribute to them.

HealthRanger: Garlic oil compound found... Garlic oil compound found to offer heart protection. (NaturalNews) Researchers from the Emory University (EU) School of Medicine in Atlanta, Ga., have discovered a natural compound derived from garlic oil, known as diallyl trisulfide, that protects against heart damage.
When taken after a heart attack, during cardiac surgery, or as a treatment for heart failure, this powerful compound was found to reduce tissue damage by 61 percent. David Lefer, PhD, professor of surgery at EU and director of the school's Cardiothoracic Surgery Research Laboratory, and postdoctoral fellow Benjamin Predmore tested the effects of diallyl trisulfide on a group of mice. The duo deliberately blocked the coronary arteries of the mice for 45 minutes in order to simulate a heart attack. Just as they were about to release the blockages, the team administered diallyl sulfide to some of the mice. After the compound was administered, the team observed a reduction in the proportion of heart tissue damage by 61 percent compared to mice that did not receive the compound.

FOX News' "Medicine Hunter" Chris Kilham recently took a special trip to New York's Central Park with "Wildman" Steve Brill to test the natural medicine for himself. According to Wildman, black birch, or Betula lenta, contains natural non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) Oil of Wintergreen just underneath its bark in the green layer known as cambium. So when a person chews on a black birch twig or brews it into a tea, the methyl salicylate compounds found inside this oil are effectively absorbed and used by the body to naturally treat pain.
"The Native Americans discovered (this)," said Brill concerning the medicinal benefits of black birch. "It actually tastes like wintergreen. HealthRanger: Make your own FREE homemad...

The Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test has been condemned as useless in saving lives and accused of leading to unnecessary surgical interventions. This test, which had previously been popular as a screening tool for prostate cancer in men over 50 is now reviled. It not only does not reveal cancers that lead to loss of life, but it leads to unnecessary biopsies and surgeries that can result in impotence and incontinence. It is no longer recommended. Mammograms have also run aground amidst accusations that they cause the very problem they are intended to prevent - breast cancer. And now colonoscopies have been questioned as well. HealthRanger: Your wireless router may b... Your wireless router may be putting you in danger. (NaturalNews) The debate surrounding the relative dangers of electromagnetic radiation has raged on for years.
As technology has become more and more advanced, and more electromagnetic fields, or EMFs, are created, the fact that electromagnetic radiation can be harmful cannot be ignored. Wireless routers, one of the most convenient products in homes across the world, can actually contribute high levels of EMF exposure to your home.When any kind of electronic device is used, it often creates its own EMF. The structure of the EMF varies, depending upon the frequency and intensity of the electricity; however, all EMFs have the power to become harmful if you are exposed to them too often or for long periods of time.It is clear, then, why having so many technological gadgets in one's home can be dangerous. But the intensity of the radiation is not the only danger.
Whereas other electronic devices are turned off at some point during the day or night, wireless routers are on all the time. HealthRanger: Arby's nutrition informati...

A study published in July 2011 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) found that fatty foods trigger a chemical effect in the body similar to that of marijuana. At least one fast food purveyor seems to have decided to capitalize on this effect: Arby's now uses the slogan "It's good mood food. "University of California-Irvine researchers have noted that high-fat foods produce "endocannabinoids" in the body. It's believed people keep eating these foods in order to extend and replicate this high.

(NaturalNews) Homeopathic medicine is at present one of the leading alternative therapies practiced by physicians in Europe (particularly France, Germany, UK, and Italy) and Asia (especially on the Indian subcontinent)(EU Commission, 1997; Prasad, 2007). Since homeopathy's development as a medical specialty in the early 1800s, it has been a leading alternative to orthodox medicine internationally, and it has posed an ongoing threat to the scientific, philosophical, and economics of conventional medical care.
The homeopathic approach to healing maintains a deep respect for symptoms of illness as important defenses of a person's immune and defense system. It is common, for instance, for homeopaths to question the alleged "scientific" studies that conventional drugs are "effective" as treatments because of concern that many of these treatments tend to suppress symptoms or disrupt the complex inner ecology of the body and create much more serious illness.

(NaturalNews) In the aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, some countries have decided to rethink their energy policies and initiate moves towards safer energy alternatives. Following in the footsteps of Germany, the European nation of Belgium has reportedly decided to phase out its nuclear energy sector, beginning with the shutdown of three of its oldest reactors by 2015.
Back in March, Germany, the fourth-largest economy in the world, vowed to end its nuclear program by as early as 2020, and later revised that date to 2022 ( Belgium now intends to do the same thing with its two nuclear power stations that together house seven nuclear reactors, by 2025. BBC News reports that Belgian officials reached an agreement to shut down two older reactors at the nation's nuclear facility in Doel, as well as another older reactor at its Tihange plant, by 2015.

A team of hygienists test-swabbed hundreds of surfaces in U.S. cities to see what objects we touch everyday, that breed the worst kinds of bacteria and viruses.
These swabs were taken in big cities such as Chicago, Miami, Dallas, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Philadelphia. Gas pumps turned out to be number one on the list, as breeding grounds for all sorts of filthy bacteria and bugs. Other top foul offenders not far down the list included parking meters, kiosks, crosswalk buttons, vending machine buttons, escalator rails, ATM buttons and vending machine buttons in shopping malls.

But what GSK and the media are failing to report are the deadly side effects that may accompany the vaccine. Unveiled at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's recent Malaria Forum conference in Seattle, Wash., the results of the Phase III African study on the malaria vaccine, known as RTS,S, suggest that children who receive three doses of it can derive additional protection against malaria when used in conjunction with other disease control methods.

HealthRanger: Daily amount of food waste... Daily amount of food waste in America enough to fill a football stadium. (NaturalNews) Many Americans today give very little thought to the amount of food they throw away, naively assuming that there will always be "more where that came from. " And such disregard for the precious nature of food has become so prevalent that roughly a football field's-worth of food waste is produced every single day in the US, according to estimates. Jonathan Bloom, creator of WastedFood.com and author of the 2010 book American Wasteland, says that Americans waste as much as half of the food produced every year. Somewhere between 160 and 295 billion pounds of food is thrown away every single year, which is the equivalent of filling a 90,000 seat football stadium to the brim at least once every single day.
Since 1974, per capita food waste has jumped an astounding 50 percent, with the average American now producing roughly five pounds of trash every day.
