Suggested foods for diabetics: Top 10 list - NaturalNews.com

Suggested foods for diabetics: Top 10 list - NaturalNews.com



(NaturalNews) If you've been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, your doctor has probably already advised you to limit simple sugars in your diet, avoid highly processed carbs and perhaps even increase your intake of whole grains, leafy greens and vegetables. These are your first steps toward better health. But, what if there were foods that had very targeted effects on blood sugar and type 2 diabetes? Here are 10 foods that lower blood sugar, support pancreatic health and may lessen your need for insulin.

1. Blueberries - Blueberries are not only yummy; they are packed with flavonoids and antioxidants. Their high fiber content and high levels of vitamin C and E make them the ideal blood-sugar-stabilizing food. You can enjoy blueberries fresh or frozen year round. Use them in fruit smoothies, on top of whole-grain cereal or even just plain. Blueberries are naturally sweet and need no condiments of any kind. You can even enjoy their benefits cooked in whole-grain pancakes or muffins. A study published in the International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition, "Cooking Does Not Decrease the Hydrophilic Antioxidant Capacity of Wild Blueberries," showed that, whether blueberries where baked, steamed or even microwaved, their antioxidant activity was not reduced.
2. Garbanzo beans - Sometimes called chick peas, garbanzo beans are high in fiber and low in fat. Garbanzo beans are also high in protein and can replace animal proteins in your diet -- such as red meat, milk and cheese -- which are high in saturated fat. You can cook garbanzo beans at home or use them canned; just be sure to choose the low-salt variety. Garbanzo beans are great when chilled and added to a green salad. They can also be used in soups, as a meat substitute in spaghetti and chili, or pureed and mixed with olive oil to make hummus.
3. Apples - Apples are high in fiber, antioxidants and vitamin C. Apples are easy to add to your diet. They can be served up as apple sauce or sliced into a Cobb salad. Apples are easy to add to a brown-bag lunch, as well. Just wash one and drop it in. If you don't like the mild flavor of Red Delicious apples, try some of the newer varieties. Fuji and Gala apples have a wonderful, tangy, straight-from-the-tree flavor.
4. Broccoli - Broccoli is high in fiber and a good natural source of chromium. Both fiber and chromium have been proven to be beneficial in treating diabetes. Broccoli can be lightly steamed and served with a touch of olive oil and sea salt. It can also be added to salads and sandwiches.
5. Avocados - Most of us know that avocados are rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats which can lower cholesterol levels and decrease the risk of stroke and heart disease. A 2008 study published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2) has also shown that unsaturated vegetable fats can significantly reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. You can add avocados to your diet as guacamole, diced in a salad or sliced onto a sandwich. Buy avocados that are firm and dark green, then let them ripen until they turn nearly black and develop their signature rich, nutty flavor.
6. Asparagus - One serving of asparagus has only 5 grams of carbohydrates and a mere 20 calories yet is high in fiber, antioxidants and folate. It also has glutathione, which has been shown to lower blood sugar and increase insulin production.
7. Almonds - Almonds are packed with protein, fiber and polyunsaturated fats. All of these are the ideal components of a healthy diet. Almonds have been shown to stabilize blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. The good fats in theses nuts slow digestion, stave off hunger and delay pancreatic fatigue. You can enjoy roasted almonds as a snack. They can also be added to salads and are good when thinly sliced and sprinkled over many Asian dishes.
8. Kale - Kale, according to The World's Healthiest Foods (3), is rich in fiber and in vitamins E, C and A, all of which have been shown to help stabilize blood glucose levels. While some people enjoy kale raw in salads, for the biggest nutritional punch and ideal flavor, steam it lightly for five minutes and then let it rest five minutes before serving. Don't add butter or salt, or you're negating many of kale's health benefits.
9. Cranberries - Many people think of these as a seasonal dish, but cranberries should be part of your year-round diet. They are high in phytonutrients such as anthocyanin which can help lower blood glucose levels.
10. Oats - Oats are high in soluble fiber. A diet high in fiber can, according to a document published by the Harvard School of Medicine (4), prevent constipation, lower cholesterol and control blood sugar levels. Because the fiber in foods is digested differently than other carbohydrates, it does not require insulin and passes through the digestive track intact. This has the benefit of helping you feel full without altering your blood sugar levels.

Water wars begin in California - NaturalNews.com

Water wars begin in California - NaturalNews.com



NaturalNews) Now in its third year of record-breaking drought conditions, the water-deprived state of California is reportedly beefing up its law enforcement to crack down on so-called water "abusers" who use too much. In Los Angeles, a full-time "water cop," with three more on the way, now patrols the streets daily looking for violators, according to the Los Angeles Daily News (LADN), an indication of the escalating water wars taking place in the West.

More than 75 percent of California's water stock is currently devoted to agriculture, with the remaining 25 percent nourishing residents, feeding lawns and washing cars. But with an ever-growing population and increasing demand, clean water is increasingly becoming a rarity in the Golden State. Because of this, drought restrictions have been enacted in many areas that restrict when and how much water can be used for secondary purposes, rules that many residents continually flout.

In years past, the state was able to get away with relatively loose enforcement of these water rules, given the caveat that at least some people would abide by them out of principle, conserving just enough of this precious resource to get by. But as drought conditions continue to break record levels, and with an underperforming El Nino season expected this fall, stricter enforcement of water restrictions is necessary, claims the state.

"Everything has changed with the drought," said Rick Silva, the one-man enforcement arm of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power's (LADWP) Water Conservation Unit, about the situation. Silva currently patrols neighborhoods alone, looking for potential water violators, and he is expecting three more people to join him in the coming months.

"We're upping our enforcement. We're getting more staff. And we're going to start issuing more tickets."

California residents who use 'too much' water face sharp fines

For now, Silva is focusing primarily on educating Californians about the drought, issuing verbal warnings and constructive criticisms, in most cases, rather than monetary fines. But that could soon change as the water wars mount, and particularly as water usage increases in many parts of the state despite the continued drought.

All along the California coast, for instance, where most of the state's wealthy people live, water usage has jumped by about 8 percent. And in Los Angeles, where water conservation efforts have been largely successful due to strong citizen support, water usage has curiously jumped 5 percent over the past year, even though officers have more aggressively issued fines of up to $600 for violations.

"For us, it's not about being heavy-handed," stressed Silva to LADN. "It's about education, eliciting a change. People know it's a drought: If they know better, they'll comply."

California farmers threatened as authorities divert scarce freshwater directly into ocean

It is not just California's urban dwellers that are having to change their water usage habits, though. Many California farmers face devastation due to heavy restrictions that stem not only from the drought but also from water management requirements that threaten to leave some of them with zero access to water this year.

"This year is a whole new level of crazy," stated Ara Azhderian from the San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority, to The Fresno Bee.

Azhderian's group represents farmers who are slated to be cut off from the water supply altogether due to state-mandated restrictions that require freshwater to be diverted from farms into the ocean. The purpose of this, say some environmentalists, is to protect native fish species from devastation. But the cost will be a loss of water for 3 million acres of California farmland and 25 million California residents.

Deadly plague spreading in Colorado - NaturalNews.com

Deadly plague spreading in Colorado - NaturalNews.com



(NaturalNews) Many aren't aware of this, but in the Western U.S. especially, something as tiny as a flea can transmit life-threatening diseases that can spread into full-blown deadly plagues. In Colorado recently, one of the deadliest forms of the plague hospitalized a man and took out his dog. Colorado health officials believe the life-threatening disease, pneumonic plague, was likely transmitted by fleas.

Pneumonic plague takes out man's dog, sends him to hospital

The infected man is being treated, but his dog wasn't as fortunate. After killing the man's dog, the pneumonic plague has since spread to three other people -- an outbreak unlike any in the past decade. Since 1957, Colorado has documented 60 cases of pneumonic, bubonic and septicemic plagues. Nine people have died since 1957. In the past decade alone, 12 cases have reared their ugly heads. Four cases in a matter of weeks is a huge uptick in occurrence but doesn't pose a serious threat, according to Colorado health officials.

Trying to be honest about the situation, without underscoring the fear, Jennifer House, a spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, stated, "We've had quite a number of cases this year."

"We do believe the outbreak itself to be over," she said.

Is the outbreak contained?

How can the Colorado Health Department be so sure that the plague is over?

After all, if the fleas are still harboring the disease, households with pets may be more susceptible. The Colorado health officials believe that the fleas are carrying the disease which was first contacted from infected prairie dogs or rabbits. Fleas can pick up the Yersinia pestis bacterium from infected mammals like prairie dogs, ground squirrels, mice and chipmunks.

What's more is that pneumonic plague is the most serious form of the plague and is transmitted through coughing and sneezing. The bacteria enter its victim through the person's lungs and respiratory system.

There are two other plagues that can crop up in the Western U.S. Septicemic plague is contacted when the bacteria make their way into the bloodstream. Bubonic plague penetrates underneath the skin. The plague typically affects Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. According to the CDC, about seven people are infected yearly in the U.S.

While four cases in such a short amount of time is rare and concerning, officials aren't raising the alarm and find the outbreaks to be completely normal in states like Colorado.

In Adams County, Colorado, where the initial outbreak began, all fears are set aside. Jim Siedlecki, director of public information for the county, said in a phone interview, "While this is not a daily, weekly, or monthly occurrence, it isn't without precedence. A case of plague where fleas and prairie dogs are involved isn't earth shattering for Colorado."

Biotech genocide, Monsanto collaborators and the Nazi legacy of 'science' as justification for murder - NaturalNews.com

Biotech genocide, Monsanto collaborators and the Nazi legacy of 'science' as justification for murder - NaturalNews.com



NaturalNews) Monsanto is widely recognize as the most hated and most evil corporation on the planet. Even so, several internet-based media websites are now marching to Monsanto's orders, promoting GMOs and pursuing defamatory character assassination tactics against anyone who opposes GMOs, hoping to silence their important voices.

These Monsanto collaborator sites tend to be "leftist" publications but also include at least one prominent business and finance publisher on the political right. All of them are Monsanto collaborators who have signed on to accelerate heinous crimes being committed against humanity under the false promise of "feeding the world" with toxic GMOs.

Monsanto is called the IG Farben of modern world because its actions reflect the kind of crimes against humanity that remind me of those pursued by IG Farben, the chemical conglomerate run by Nazi collaborators during the Adolf Hitler regime. IG Farben used Jewish prisoners as human guinea pigs in horrific medical experiments, and the company pioneered so-called "science-based breakthroughs" for the development of psychiatric drugs, chemical pesticides, chemotherapy agents and gas chamber death chemicals like Zyklon B.

The entire Nazi regime, by the way, was based on invoking "science" as its justifying foundation. The killing of Jews was based in "science," as was Hitler's desire to use genocide to "cleanse the human race" by killing off those he saw as "genetically inferior." Science was the buzzword of the Nazi regime, and it was used to justify almost every crime carried out by the Nazi regime.



Anyone who resisted the Nazi regime was condemned as "anti-science" in precisely the same way that anyone who now questions the wisdom of unleashing genetically modified seeds into the open environment is also called "anti-science." But questioning science is not "anti" science at all -- it is an inherent part of the scientific process. That's a fact that the biotech industry has conveniently forgotten. Their stance today is that no one can ever question the "science" of GMOs, period.

Thus, GMOs aren't based in science at all. They are the domain of a radical cult where questions are not allowed and critical thinking is condemned and censored.

Nazi collaborators

"Nazi collaborators" were individuals and corporations that promoted the power and reach of the Nazi party, publishing pro-Nazi propaganda and attacking anyone who criticized Adolf Hitler or the Nazi regime. Collaborators included many scientists, academics, publishers and of course politicians, all of whom played key roles in furthering the genocide that saw over six million Jews heartlessly slaughtered by the Nazi regime.

Today, a number of once-independent media sites are selling out to corporate interests and quickly becoming Monsanto collaborators. This is readily apparent by noticing which media sites attack Dr. Mercola, the Food Babe, Jeffrey Smith, the Health Ranger or anyone else fighting against the scourge of GMO genocide against humanity. These attacks all have one thing in common: they are orchestrated by paid biotech muckrakers -- people I call "Monsanto collaborators."

Parallels to the Nazi regime are numerous. GMOs, after all, are genetically engineered to either grow poison in the plant or to resist deadly poisons sprayed on the crops. In both cases, GMOs expose the public to toxic, cancer-causing chemicals that kill people just as effectively (although not as quickly) as Zyklon B. The Nazi Regime was also steeped in the use of deadly chemicals to accomplish its goals, and just like the biotech industry, the Nazis weren't afraid to use human subjects as guinea pigs in large-scale medical experiments. (The U.S. government also continued this tradition under the National Institutes of Health, orchestrating inhumane medical experiments on prisoners in Guatemala.)

Here's what GMO chemicals did to rats in the Seralini study, the study that the biotech industry desperately sought to have retracted and buried:



Both Nazis and Monsanto also believe that the power to control human destiny should be concentrated in the hands of a very small number of people who dictate terms to everyone else. In a world where every agricultural crop is based on a patented seed controlled by a greed-driven corporation, humans can never truly be free. This was also the aim of the Nazi regime, which sought to command all "human resources" in a mandatory push to build Adolf Hitler's utopian society.

That utopian society sounds a whole lot like the "feed the world" mantra spouted by Monsanto collaborators today, all of whom remain utterly blind to the mass genocide they are promoting.

Seventy years ago, people who run these propaganda websites that obey Monsanto would have been Hitler's propaganda ministers, publishing "scientific" articles on the science of eugenics and genocide, and praising Hitler's "amazing vision" for global peace and prosperity.

This is almost exactly the same message, after all, that Monsanto is now fronting: The world will starve to death if we don't all surrender our seeds, farmlands and food supply to this corporate empire, we're told. "Science" will save humanity by concentrating total control of food resources into the hands of the few. Meanwhile, all who oppose Monsanto are vilified as anti-science quacks while all who buy in to the Monsanto genocide are praised as being "scientific" (even though they are nothing more than paid propaganda hacks).

German nation celebrates those who tried to assassinate Hitler

Interestingly, just yesterday German President Joachim Gauck celebrated the lives of those brave Nazi officers who attempted to assassinate Adolf Hitler in 1944. (1) Their attempted Wolf's Lair bombing failed, but it was an honorable attempt to rid the world of tremendous evil by killing one of the people responsible for it.

This official ceremony sends a message to the world, and that official message from the nation of Germany to the rest of the world says that it is the moral right -- and even the obligation -- of human beings everywhere to actively plan and carry out the killing of those engaged in heinous crimes against humanity.

This fundamental philosophical truth is now enshrined in history by the highest office of the nation of Germany herself, the very nation where mass government propaganda spearheaded by a highly-charismatic political leader drove the population to commit genocide in the name of "peace."

Today, Monsanto collaborators -- publishers, journalists and scientists -- have signed on to the Nazi genocide machine of our day: the biotechnology industry and its evil desire to dominate the world's food supply and blanket the planet with deadly chemicals that have been scientifically shown to cause horrific cancer tumors. They use many of the same tactics as the Nazi regime, too: intimidation, character assassination, threats and fabricated disinformation. Hitler's Ministry of Propaganda, it turns out, is alive and well today in America. Its headquarters is not in Berlin but St. Louis.

Humanity must record and remember those who collaborated with the enemy

Just as history needed to record the names and deeds of Nazi war criminals, so too must all those collaborators who are promoting the death and destruction caused by GMOs be named for the historical record. The true extent of their collaboration with an anti-human regime will all become readily apparent once the GMO delusion collapses and mass global starvation becomes an inescapable reality.

I'm hoping someone will create a website listing all the publishers, scientists and journalists who are now Monsanto propaganda collaborators. I have no doubt such a website would be wildly popular and receive a huge influx of visitors, and it would help preserve the historical record of exactly which people contributed to the mass starvation and death which will inevitably be unleashed by GMO agriculture (which is already causing mass suicides in India and crop failures worldwide).

The crime of today's biotech experiments on humanity must never be forgotten, nor must we ever forget the deplorable tactics used by the industry against anti-GMO activists and scientists. Remember: the biotech propaganda machine not only engages in mafia-style intimidation tactics and character assassination attempts, it also systematically intimidates scientists and uses heavy-handed techniques to heavily censor science journals to make sure they don't publish any science highlighting the harm caused by GMOs.

The now-famous Seralini study, for example, was subjected to an extreme, criminal-minded censorship agenda organized by the biotech industry. This scientific censorship was so underhanded and intellectually dishonest that the retraction of the study by the Food and Chemical Toxicology journal stands as one of the most shameful events ever witnessed in the history of western science. In fact, it all but admitted that corporate-influenced western science is an absolute fraud, where corporations now control the science journals.

Read this extraordinary account, "The price of truth," to learn the real truth about the extraordinary personal and professional cost of conducting honest science on GMOs in a world dominated by Monsanto collaborators.

As you listen to this interview, keep in mind that nearly every defamation attack leveled against Dr. Mercola is entirely due to his whistle-blowing on the issue of GMOs. Although attacks on Dr. Mercola, or Jeffrey Smith or others may appear to be based on other topics, they are all orchestrated by the biotech industry in an effort to smear individuals who can't be bought off.

When scientists or journalists can be bought off, they accept "consulting fees" or "donations" to their non-profits, and then suddenly the publication they run starts churning out stories that attack anti-GMO activists. We're seeing an escalation of such activities as the biotech industry reaches a state of desperation, knowing they will ultimately lose the war over mandatory GMO labeling because a tipping point of GMO awareness has now been reached.

Furthermore, the argument that GMOs should never be labeled is an empty one. In a society where foods are required to be labeled if they are "processed in a facility that also processes nuts," it's obvious that GMO labeling makes instant sense. Only the GMO industry wants to force consumers to keep accidentally purchasing their products while hiding that fact from consumers for as long as possible. It's shameful, and every food company that has funded opposition against GMO labeling state laws should be permanently boycotted.

As the Organic Consumers Association points out, these traitorous brands -- more "Monsanto collaborators" -- include Kellogg's (Kashi, Bear Naked, Morningstar Farms); General Mills (Muir Glen, Cascadian Farm, Larabar); Dean Foods (Horizon, Silk, White Wave); Smucker's (R.W. Knudsen, Santa Cruz Organic); Coca-Cola (Honest Tea, Odwalla); Safeway (“O” Organics); Kraft (Boca Burgers and Back to Nature); Con-Agra (Orville Redenbacher's Organic, Hunt's Organic, Lightlife); and PepsiCo (Naked Juice, Tostito's Organic, Tropicana Organic)

Out of this desperation of knowing they are losing, the biotech industry bribes media outlets (or threatens them) to try to "persuade" them to switch sides to a pro-GMO bias. This is exactly what happened to an "alternative" media website that's now run by an editor who routinely attacks nutritional supplements, alternative medicine and GMO labeling advocates. (The site is losing readers by the hour, however, as readers see right through the propaganda.)

I've also seen this happen to a prominent environmental news website that now publishes hit pieces on anti-GMO activists. As we see time and time again, these editors were either bought off or threatened with blackmail using sex sting operations (or something else equally embarrassing). And when they can't find real dirt on anti-GMO activists, they simply invent whatever they want to write and publish that.

Cash and blackmail -- sometimes both -- are the tools used by the biotech industry to sway public opinion. Sex traps are routinely attempted against outspoken anti-GMO activists in an effort to create photographic or video evidence which can be used to blackmail them. I personally know of one person in the alternative news industry who was nearly caught in a prostitute sex trap sting, and efforts are constantly under way to undermine the credibility of independent media personalities who can't be fired, censored or otherwise silenced.

It is no exaggeration to say that the biotech mafia is the most evil, most dangerous and most criminally-orchestrated group in America day, surpassing even the tactics of urban drug gangs and Wall Street investment bankers. But just like the Nazi regime, the biotech regime will also fall and I see a day when Monsanto collaborators are tracked down, arrested and tried for their crimes against humanity in a court of law. For the record, in no way do I condone vigilante violence against anyone, and I believe every condemned criminal deserves a fair trial and a punishment that fits the crime. Do not misinterpret this article as any sort of call for violence, as I wholly disavow any such actions. I am a person who demands due process under the law for all those accused of crimes. 

But what is the appropriate punishment for the criminal act of unleashing genetic pollution across our planet, contributing to mass crop failures, collapsing indigenous seed diversity, instigating widespread human starvation, suppressing scientific knowledge and dousing the world's farmlands with the toxic chemical glyphosate? How do you even decide on a punishment that can fit the scale and magnitude of such a collection of crimes?

Tracking down Nazi war criminals

That's why it is so important right now to document all the Monsanto collaborators and make sure they are held accountable for their actions. "Operation Last Chance" is a group dedicated to hunting down escaped Nazi war criminals, hoping to bring them to trial before they die. (2) The group uses tactics like posting photos of the war criminals and offering rewards for information leading to their capture.

One day in the not-too-distant future, I predict a similar tactic will likely be used to hunt down and arrest Monsanto collaborators: the scientists, journalists, politicians, food companies and other enablers who helped this corporation commit the mass murder against humanity that I believe has already begun. Many will attempt to flee, hide from authorities, change their names or otherwise escape responsibility for their crimes against humanity, but teams of "Monsanto collaborator hunters" will likely be offered financial rewards for bringing these individuals to justice. Maybe someone will launch a Kickstarter project called "Operation roundup."

For this reason, all Monsanto collaborators need to be documented now, with their names, photos, public statements and other details that might someday make tracking them down easier. (You can rest assured, by the way, that the biotech industry has already fully documented all anti-GMO activists.) Such a project is outside the scope of Natural News, of course, but this is the perfect project for an activist group that knows how to operate anonymously (for their own protection). The project should also involve printing hard copies so that the evidence survives a catastrophic failure of the power grid and internet infrastructure.

If anyone out there takes on such a project, please alert Natural News so that we can report on this newsworthy event. And if you do pursue such a project, for your own sake stay 100% anonymous with your web hosting and contact details or you will be putting your very life in danger. It has already been made clear to me that the biotech industry will stop at absolutely nothing to intimidate or silence its opposition.

Celebrate those independent media outlets that stand firm for Team Humanity while facing down tremendous evil

As all this is taking place, it's important to remember all the independent media sites that have held their ground in the face of tremendous evil. Quite a collection of independent media websites continue to broadcast the truth about GMOs, and it is the voices of these sites that will ultimately lead humanity to victory against evil and destruction.

In fact, these independent media sites are springing up faster than the biotech industry can possibly keep up with. Team Humanity won't settle for scientific censorship and corporate junk science, it turns out. People are hungry for the truth, and publishers that tell the truth are finding tremendous financial support from the huge influx of traffic coming from people who are tired of being lied to by the mainstream media. In fact, the traffic for nearly every website mentioned below is absolutely exploding right now as the public turns off CNN and tunes into truth-telling:

www.ActivistPost.com
www.Mercola.com
www.OrganicConsumers.org
www.GreenMedInfo.com
www.TruthStreamMedia.com
http://jonrappoport.wordpress.com
www.InfoWars.com
www.SteveQuayle.com
www.ResponsibleTechnology.org
www.TheLibertyMill.com
... and many more.

Please join me in supporting these websites and all those that report the truth about GMOs. I'm sure there are more websites which deserve to be added to this list, and I apologize if I've left any off that are deserving of a mention.

Join the fight for humanity

We are on the path to victory for Team Humanity. We cannot be bought off, we cannot be silenced and we refuse to be intimidated.

I welcome every hit piece in the world that wants to bring Natural News more publicity, because we will turn those visitors onto the truth about GMOs, mercury in vaccines, the dangers of psychiatric drugs and the criminal fraud of Big Pharma (among other topics). The only way the mainstream media hurts Natural News is if they ignore us. And they won't do that because our truth-telling infuriates their corporate sponsors. Every attempt to attack Natural News so far has only resulted in a rapid expansion of our reader base and a sharp increase in our email subscription list.

No matter what the mainstream media does, with the help of our millions of readers and fans, we will continue to expand our reach day after day, reaching all those new millions of people who are tired of being lied to and poisoned and who thirst for the kind of truth they can only find at independent media sites like Natural News.

Thank you for your continued support, and thank you for believing in our mission to report the truth no matter who tries to threaten us into silence.

Obamacare subsidies ruled illegal as federal court declares President is not King - NaturalNews.com

Obamacare subsidies ruled illegal as federal court declares President is not King - NaturalNews.com

NaturalNews) The "affordability delusion" of Obamacare is set to be obliterated following the decision of a federal judicial panel which declared that most of the subsidies currently being paid toward individual health insurance policies are illegal. This decision has been characterized as a "devastating blow" by even the biased mainstream media which has incessantly pushed the politics of Obamacare.

"The case, Halbig v. Burwell, is one of the first major legal challenges that cuts to the heart of the Affordable Care Act by going after the legality of massive federal subsidies and those who benefit from them, reports Fox News. (1) "The ruling, though likely to be appealed, could threaten the entire foundation of the newly devised health care system."

The Affordable Care Act states that such subsidies can only be paid to enrollees who sign up through state-run exchanges, not the federally-run exchange. But the Obama administration, we all now know, believes it does not have to follow any law whatsoever and so has been issuing subsidy payments that are blatantly illegal under the law. That's precisely what the federal courts ruled today: Obamacare as currently being executed is illegal.

The court's decision stated: "The fact is that the legislative record provides little indication one way or the other of congressional intent, but the statutory text does. (It) plainly makes subsidies available only on exchanges established by states. And in the absence of any contrary indications, that text is conclusive evidence of Congress's intent."

Obama apologists declare laws only mean what they say they mean

The Obama administration and all its apologists, however, have now taken up the absurd position that "laws means whatever we say they mean, not what's actually written." Obama administration officials and members of the leftist media are now attempting to claim that the law's words are a "mere technicality" and therefore don't count.

The federal court justices had a strong rebuttal to that idea, stating in their decision, "...to say that enacted legislation, on its own, does not command our respect [is] an utterly untenable proposition."

Laws mean what they say, in other words. Otherwise we are not a nation of laws but rather a nation of wishy-washy intentions dictated by a tyrant who invents his own rules as we go along.

But that's the way the political left wants it, of course: the laws be damned, Obama is their King and whatever he says must be followed even if it's blatantly unconstitutional or illegal.

"Today's decision rightly holds the Obama administration accountable to the law," wrote Sen. Orrin Hatch in a statement. (2) "As it has on so many occasions, the Obama administration simply ignored the law and implemented its own policy instead."

Sen. Ted Cruz also chimed in, saying "The D.C. Circuit's decision today in Halbig v. Burwell is a repudiation of Obamacare and all the lawlessness that has come with it. This is a significant victory for the American people and the rule of law, but we must not rest."

Is America a nation of law, or an empire with a King?

The real question in all this is whether America is a nation of law or an empire ruled by a King? There is no debate about the text of the law itself: it clearly says subsidies to enrollees of federal exchanges are illegal (i.e. not allowed by the law).

But ignorant Obama supporters -- who have no clue about how tyranny rises from good intentions and ultimately leads to genocide -- are now insisting that laws don't matter anymore and that America is now a nation run by a tyrant King who alone decides which laws to enforce, ignore or invent out of thin air.

Be warned that this is the path to tyranny, and Obamacare apologists who defend this lawlessness are accelerating America's disastrous fall into despotism and lawlessness.

If Obama wants to fix the law and change what it says and means, he needs to go to Congress and encourage them to take appropriate action. The idea that Obama should simply "bypass Congress" whenever he feels like it is radically dangerous, and it's the kind of idea that once gave rise to the National Socialists of Germany; a part named the "Nazis."

NEW SUGAR LABEL: FOOD INDUSTRY MISLEADS PUBLIC ON DANGERS OF SUGAR

To varying degrees, companies mislead the public in the interest of their bottom lines. We see it in their borderline-deceptive marketing, in front-of-box labeling practices, and in the flat-out scientific denials by corporations like Monsanto. When it comes to those with interest in the sugar industry, misleading statements and false information abound.

Gretchen Goldman is a lead analyst for the Center for Science and Democracy. She recently addressed the FDA at a public meeting on proposed rules on food labeling. Specifically, Goldman spoke in support of the FDA adding an “added sugars” label to nutrition fact panels. And following her own presentation, she stuck around to hear from those who opposed the new label, namely those with sugar interests.

“Given past efforts by sugar interests to obscure the science on sugar and health, I knew to expect some unsubstantiated claims,” writes Goldman at the Union of Concerned Scientists. “Sure enough, listening to other stakeholders provide comments, I heard statements in need of correcting.”

In her blog post, Goldman counters misleading statements made by those with the Grocery Manufacturers Association, the Sugar Association, and the Frozen Foods Institute. She points to the World Health Association, the American Heart Association, and other reputable agencies who say an added sugars label isn’t only smart, but could save lives.

While sugar interests claim that sugar doesn’t negatively impact health, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, numerous scientific studies showcase how overconsuming sugar (which could be partially solved by beefing up sugar labels), is a major contributing factor in the risks of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, cancer, and more.

Food manufacturers say such a requirement would require them to actually measure the sugar contents of their foods (gasp!) and keep “new records on ‘thousands of products’”, as if such record-keeping in the interest of consumer safety is a preposterous request.

Also, these sugar-interests say it shouldn’t be their responsibility, but the responsibility of consumers to make healthy decisions. Goldman points to the labeling of trans fats as evidence that industry accountability can and will help consumers make healthier choices.

“In 2003, the FDA issued a rule requiring the labeling of trans fats on the Nutrition Facts label, in response to scientific evidence of a trans fat link to heart disease. Following the enactment of this rule, the CDC observed a 58 percent decrease in blood levels of trans-fatty acids in white adults in the U.S. population.”

The FDA is accepting written statements from the public until August 1 on their proposed label changes, among those the added sugars disclosure. You can send a message in support of the addition here.

NOAA quietly revises website after getting caught in global warming lie, admitting 1936 was hotter than 2012 - NaturalNews.com

NOAA quietly revises website after getting caught in global warming lie, admitting 1936 was hotter than 2012 - NaturalNews.com





NaturalNews) As global warming and climate change alarmists burn tons of fossil fuel jetting around the world, lecturing people about how burning tons of fossil fuel is destroying our planet, federal government agencies and learned academic institutions are quietly revising previously published data to reflect "an inconvenient truth" -- that, contrary to their earlier claims, the earth is actually getting cooler, and weather is actually getting milder.

One of the most recent examples of this fraud was reported by The Daily Caller: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has been criticized for manipulating temperature records to give the illusion of a warming trend. Since then, the agency has been caught changing temperature data from both the past and present.

Here's the story. A couple of years ago, NASA scientists and climatologists declared July 2012 to be the hottest month in a report titled, "Too Hot to Handle?" [See it here: http://science.nasa.gov]. During the summer months of that year, the country experienced widespread drought and wildfires burned more than 1.3 million acres of land, according to NASA statistics and data.

Now, according to NOAA's National Climatic Data Center in 2012, the "average temperature for the contiguous U.S. during July was 77.6°F, 3.3°F above the 20th century average, marking the warmest July and all-time warmest month on
record for the nation in a period of record that dates back to 1895." [You can see that assessment here: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov]

'You can't get any clearer proof' of fraud

"The previous warmest July for the nation was July 1936, when the average U.S. temperature was 77.4°F," NOAA said in 2012.

When checked by The Daily Caller, that claim by the NOAA was still available on the agency's website. However:

[W]hen meteorologist and climate blogger Anthony Watts went to check the NOAA data [June 29] he found that the science agency had quietly reinstated July 1936 as the hottest month on record in the U.S.

Watts wrote: "Two years ago during the scorching summer of 2012, July 1936 lost its place on the leaderboard and July 2012 became the hottest month on record in the United States. Now, as if by magic, and according to NOAA's own data, July 1936 is now the hottest month on record again. The past, present, and future all seems to be 'adjustable' in NOAA's world." [See his blog post here: http://wattsupwiththat.com]

Watts had used data from NOAA's "Climate at a Glance" plots from 2012, a graphic showing that July 2012 was the hottest month on record at 77.6°F. July 1936 -- which was during the infamous Dust Bowl years -- is listed at only 77.4°F.

He ran the same data plot again on June 29 and discovered that NOAA inserted a new number in for July 1936; the average temperature for July 1936 was made slightly higher than July 2012, meaning, again, that July 1936 is the hottest year on record.

"You can't get any clearer proof of NOAA adjusting past temperatures," Watts wrote. "This isn't just some issue with gridding, or anomalies, or method, it is about NOAA not being able to present historical climate information of the United States accurately."

He went on to note that in "one report they give one number, and in another they give a different one with no explanation to the public as to why.

"This is not acceptable. It is not being honest with the public. It is not scientific. It violates the Data Quality Act."

U.S. 'cooling since the Thirties'

Watts' assessment of the NOAA data manipulation came on the heels of earlier reports stating that the federal agency was lowering past temps to create the illusion of a warming trend in the U.S. that did not coincide with the raw data.

The after-the-fact data manipulation was documented by climate blogger Steven Goddard, which was summarily reported by Britain's Telegraph newspaper earlier in June.

"Goddard shows how, in recent years, NOAA's US Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) has been 'adjusting' its record by replacing real temperatures with data 'fabricated' by computer models," the paper's Christopher Booker wrote. "The effect of this has been to downgrade earlier temperatures and to exaggerate those from recent decades, to give the impression that the Earth has been warming up much more than is justified by the actual data."

The real data, Booker said, "show that the US has actually been cooling since the Thirties, the hottest decade on record."

What is MSG? Side effects explained - NaturalNews.com

What is MSG? Side effects explained - NaturalNews.com

NaturalNews) Did you know that a substance added to the foods you may be eating every day has been connected to a multitude of physical ailments, including everything from obesity to Alzheimer's? And here's the worst part: The food industry has been aware of this issue for decades yet uses this substance anyway. The troubling ingredient is monosodium glutamate. Read on to learn more about the hidden poison, commonly known as MSG, which may be lurking in your next meal.

What is MSG?

MSG, a salt form of a non-essential amino acid, is a flavor enhancer and common food additive. While many people exclusively associate MSG with Chinese takeout and salty processed meats, the truth is that MSG is contained in processed foods we eat every day, including salad dressing, barbecue sauce, bouillon cubes and canned soups and vegetables. It's also an additive in many infant formulas and baby and children's foods.

In short, MSG tricks the taste buds and brain into thinking that food tastes delicious. An excitotoxin, MSG works by triggering the brain to produce excess quantities of the feel-good drug dopamine. This allows food manufacturers to cut back on quality in order to increase their profits.

Unfortunately, the rush of good feelings caused by MSG doesn't last, but the consequences do. MSG doesn't just hook us by making food taste better. It is actually physically addictive, which keeps consumers coming back again and again. This not only leads to overeating but also wreaks havoc on the body's comprehensive wellness.

Side Effects Explained

We've all heard of MSG headaches and nausea; this is often attributed to "MSG sensitivity." Unfortunately, the problem goes far beyond that.

MSG has been linked to weight gain and even obesity by researchers. And it's not just because MSG makes people want to consume more. In fact, groups of participants in one research study were restricted to the same caloric intake and physical activity, yet those who ate foods containing MSG were nearly three times more likely to be overweight than their non-MSG ingesting peers. (1)

Researchers have also connected MSG to liver and kidney damage as well as increased blood pressure. (2) (3) Furthermore, excitotoxins have been linked to brain damage, leading to a host of neurological diseases including Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, dementia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, lupus and many others. (4)

How to Avoid MSG

If you regularly rely on the "No MSG" labels on your food, it's still likely that you are eating foods containing MSG. How? Because the FDA's and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's regulations only require that MSG be disclosed when it's added as a single ingredient. In other words, if MSG is added on its own, it must be listed on food labels. Otherwise, it may be lurking in your food under one of many seemingly innocuous names. The following items are likely to contain MSG (5):

• yeast food, autolyzed or hydrolyzed yeast, yeast extract, textured protein (including TVP [textured vegetable protein])
• hydrolyzed protein, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, plant protein extract, hydrolyzed plant protein
• soy protein (concentrate and isolate)
• enzymes
• dough conditioners
• malt (flavoring and extract)
• malted barley
• sodium caseinate
• calcium caseinate
• gelatin
• seasoning, spices
• flavoring of any kind (may be listed as "natural flavors" or "natural flavoring")
• carrageenans
• whey protein concentrate
• hydrolyzed oat flour
• bouillon, stock, broth

And don't assume that it's safe just because it came from the local health food store. Many "natural" and "organic" products also contain MSG.

One simple way to avoid consuming MSG is to buy whole foods and prepare them yourself. However, this isn't always possible. The best defense against MSG is information. By being vigilant about checking food labels, knowing what to look for and asking the right questions, you can avoid ingesting this known toxin and enjoy a healthier life.
