In March 2011, a massive earthquake and an ensuing tsunami triggered the meltdown of three nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Power Plant. Almost 4 years later we’re still seeing repercussions of the disaster, and the effects will likely continue for decades. This disaster is contributing to untold health concerns and environmental damage. Five Things You … Continue reading 5 Things You’re Not Being Told About Fukushima
New Study Reveals Link Between Fluoride and ADHD
Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, has risen in dramatic proportions these last few years, leading many to speculate one or more environmental triggers are tied to the issue. Fluoride, a common chemical additive discussed frequently on this blog, has been implicated more than once in the shocking increase of ADHD cases. A new study reveals a … Continue reading New Study Reveals Link Between Fluoride and ADHD
New Leak Detected at Fukushima Nuclear Plant
More bad news from the site of the Fukushima disaster — a leak directly into the seawater was detected at the plant. The new leak, which caused radiation contamination to escalate up to 70 times greater than usual, has been swept under the rug by the company that operates the plant, Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO). This … Continue reading New Leak Detected at Fukushima Nuclear Plant
Report: Electromagnetic Pollution is Harmful to Mental Health
Source: Report: Electromagnetic Pollution is Harmful to Mental Health by Dr. Edward Group There are 190,000 cell phone towers in the US, and new evidence suggests that exposure to these towers may alter brain function. The study, recently published in the British Medical Journal, found that EMF pollution can cause irritability, insomnia, difficulty concentrating, and a lack of appetite, … Continue reading Report: Electromagnetic Pollution is Harmful to Mental Health
Tell Nestlé to Stop Illegal Water Drilling
Source: Tell Nestlé to Stop Illegal Water Drilling by Dr. Edward Group A recent investigative report published in the Desert Sun newspaper is showing that Nestlé, one of the largest food businesses in the world, has been illegally pumping water from a Southern California national forest for 27 years. The company’s permit expired in 1988, yet … Continue reading Tell Nestlé to Stop Illegal Water Drilling
Too Much Fertilizer Causes Loss of Plant Diversity
Scientists may have discovered why excessive fertilizer use leads to a loss of species diversity in grasslands, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Zurich, Switzerland, and published in the journal Science. Rain washes fertilizers off of the fields where they are applied and into neighboring ecosystems, leading to an increase in … Continue reading Too Much Fertilizer Causes Loss of Plant Diversity
Using cannabis, scientists discover inexpensive way to dramatically boost battery storage potential
Researchers presenting at the recent 248th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society revealed that fibers from the hemp plant, a variety of the cannabis plant, can be turned into electrodes capable of better storing energy in supercapacitors. The best material currently available for supercapacitor electrodes is graphene, a light-weight material that is … Continue reading Using cannabis, scientists discover inexpensive way to dramatically boost battery storage potential
Arctic science expedition ship gets stranded in too much ice, so university scientists blame “climate change” … now it’s too MUCH ice!
First, it was global warming. When that didn’t pan out, it morphed into climate change, though still with an emphasis on rising temperatures that would supposedly one day melt the polar ice caps and flood the world’s coastal areas. Now, there’s a new twist on climate change that emphasizes cooling because apparently in some areas there’s actually more ice … Continue reading Arctic science expedition ship gets stranded in too much ice, so university scientists blame “climate change” … now it’s too MUCH ice!
Stay cool without electricity: New “radiative sky cooling” system may prove useful for preppers
Staying cool during hot or humid weather without racking up a hefty electricity bill could be a reality in the near future. A team of researchers from Stanford University have developed a passive cooling system that sends excess heat towards outer space. Since almost no energy is required to keep them functional, these high-tech optical surfaces could … Continue reading Stay cool without electricity: New “radiative sky cooling” system may prove useful for preppers
Beyond genetics: children’s health encoded into them by their parent’s decisions long before conception
Parents' life experiences and dietary habits before conception are encoded into egg and sperm and projected into the very existence of their child, influencing the child's habits, health and ability to adapt later in life. Parenting essentially begins before conception, according to new research coming from the University of Adelaide. The lifestyle choices of the … Continue reading Beyond genetics: children’s health encoded into them by their parent’s decisions long before conception
