  According to Natural News , the rise in food allergies and gluten sensitivities are evidence that GM foods have impacted the global food chain in negative and dangerous ways. As such, millions of Americans agree that, at the very minimum, GM foods ought to carry labeling designating them as such -- just like the labeling requirements for ingredients in other foods. Some states are beginning to get the message and are responding to demands by their citizens to require such labeling. As reported by Prevention magazine, Connecticut and Maine are two states that are moving in that direction. So far, the federal government has resisted requiring GM foods to be labeled, no doubt in part due to intense lobbying by the food industry (as happened in the defeat of a California labeling initiative), which does not want to label GM foods, for some reason.

According to Natural News , cigarette smoke is a complex mixture of chemicals. Cells in the human body are exposed to this toxic heavy metal combination and incur oxidative damage on the DNA level. The metal particles are carried in the cigarette smoke and inflict significant direct DNA damage, whether using "filtered" cigarettes or not. The result is a genotoxic response of different lung cell types to concentrations of complex combinations of heavy metals mixed with ammonia, herbicide and pesticide. The tip of a cigarette burns at 1,700 degrees Fahrenheit during the inhalation, so what happens when one is mixing chemicals with heavy metals at 1,700 degrees? How much cadmium and lead is one smoking, literally? What is this doing to his/her body, and what are the genotoxic and carcinogenic properties of the cigarette smoke that one is inhaling? Finally, does one know what the inorganic human carcinogenic compounds are, and are they making one less human? For more...

According to Natural News , four days ago, the Associated Press (AP) reported that coal-fired power plants are dumping enormous quantities of pollutants into U.S. waterways. According to the AP, the EPA says that coal-fired power plants are dumping nearly 2 million pounds of aluminum, 79,000 pounds of arsenic, 64,000 pounds of lead and even 2,820 pound of mercury each year into U.S. waterways. This original story by the AP (dated January 18, 2014) was published, word-for-word, across the Denver Post , ABC News , the Washington Post , the San Jose Mercury News and even Salon.com . The original AP story turns out to have been "restructured" from old news, packaged to appear like breaking news for 2014 even though it actually traces back to 2009. The AP actually featured the story in its "Big Story" section which implies that the stories published there are big, breaking news stories.
