Published on Leave a comment on The HIDDEN Culprit Behind Deforestation Now Known: The SOY INDUSTRY – A Major Cause!

Tell the Government "Palm Tree Loggers Are Bad AND SOY Industry CROPS Are Bad - Causing Equal Deforestation In The Amazon. If You Stopped Supporting Palm Oil, you should STOP Supporting SOY!"

Brazil and USA are the Two Leading Producers OF soy. Bolivia follows hard after them. Most Crops in the USA are GMO Crops (Genetically Modified) by notorious Monsanto, highly skilled in Crafting Words - numerous Countries have bought their LIES. They are NOT out to Save Humanity! Based on extensive Research by many True Health Professionals and Independent Researchers, they are (and have proved to be) a THREAT to Humanty. India can tell you the Real Impact of Monsanto's GMO Scheme. 100s of Farmers take their lives to escape the appauling conditions those GMO Crops and the Excessive use of their Nasty Toxic RoundUp creates.

KEEP MONSANTO'S GMO FRANKEN-SEEDS AND NASTY PRACTICES OUT OF AUSTRALIA.
BAN HARMFUL GLYPHOSATES and ROUNDUP FROM MONSANTO.
EDUCATE PEOPLE ON THE TRUE FACTS ABOUT SOY, AND BOYCOT THE SOY INDUSTRY!

There's an Information War going on in recent years about Canola and Soy because Truth is out concerning them now!

As an Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs, I pity anyone who is taken in by the likes of SOY.…

I HOPE NOT TO SEE SO MANY PEOPLE WHEELING TROLLEYS FULL OF SOFT DRINKS OUT OF SUPERMARKETS WITH THEIR KIDS WHEN THESE THINGS ARE BETTER KNOWN.

Chemicals In Fizzy Drinks - Perilous To Health!

MY COUSINS WERE ALLOWED TO HAVE LOTS OF FIZZY DRINKS I WASN'T BROUGHT UP WITH -
I WISHED WE COULD HAVE MORE, HOWEVER, OUR FAMILY EXPERIENCED BETTER HEALTH TO THEIRS AND TO THIS DAY, I THANK MY MUM FOR HER WISDOM WHEN RESEARCH WASN'T AROUND. SO I'M INCLUDING THIS ARTICLE IN MY BLOG TO BENEFIT OTHER FAMILIES OUT THERE.

Why You Should Be Worried About The Chemicals In Your Soda
By Riley Cardoza

It's hard, we know, and the addictive properties of the Caffeine in every can certainly don't make giving up soda any easier. But hear us out. Doubling up on soft drinks every week means doubling your risk of pancreatic cancer, according to a study in the American Association for Cancer Research's journal. Drinking a standard can of cola is like pouring 39 grams of sugar straight down your throat, and there's nothing sweet about what it'll do to your waistline. Even if you go for the sugar-free options, a recent study in the journal Stroke found that artificially-sweetened drinks lead to increased risk of strokes and dementia.…

Published on Leave a comment on Why The Controversy Over Canola And Veggie Oils? Do You Still Believe In Them?

THERE IS AN INFORMATION-WAR GOING ON BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS OUT AND THOSE UNSCRUPULOUS MANUFACTURERS ARE "DIGGING THEIR HEELS IN" AND REFUSE TO COME CLEAN.

Don't Opt For Price - Opt For Health. Lets Be Smart!

WHY? BECAUSE OF "MONEY, MONEY!" THESE OILS ARE DIRT CHEAP TO MAKE AND THEY RAKE IN THE PROFITS WHILE SO MANY PEOPLE BLINDLY TRUST IN THE PREFABRICATED LIES CRISCO SOLD US IN THE 1950s. IF YOU WILL JUST ALLOW YOURSELF THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT, I WILL SHOW YOU WHY WE SHOULD HAVE A DISTASTE FOR SUCH LIES AND BECOME SMARTER - THEY ARE COUNTING ON OUR IGNORANCE AND "Ignorance Isn't Bliss" WHEN IT COMES TO MEMORY LOSS, WEIGHT GAIN, CANCER, ALZHEIMERS AND OTHER SERIOUS HEALTH DISORDERS.

Medical Practitioners get an awful lot of misleading brain washing from Big Pharma about 'Cholesterol' and so do we over Media. It's deliberate Misinformation because Cholesterol plays an important roll in Protecting our Nerve Cells and Brain Cells - even our Heart. So the reverse to what they tell us is True. We've been sold on a Lie! And it's time to correct that.

Beware of Greedy Manufacturers profiteering from selling you FAKE FOODS.…

Published on Leave a comment on Palmolive Naturals Personal Care Products – A Community Concern!

AS IF WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MISLEADING CHEMICAL PRODUCTS OUT THERE WHEN SHOPPING, PALMOLIVE HAS INTRODUCED A WHOLE RANGE OF SO-CALLED NATURAL PRODUCTS ONTO THE MARKET WITH A 'NATURALS' NAME TAG, AFTER INNOCENT MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC and HEALTH CONSCIOUS PEOPLE. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! AND IF YOU ARE REALLY HEALTH-SAVVY, YOU WILL KNOW THE LURKS AND SPOT THE DIFFERENCE. AS THE ADAGE SAYS: BUYER BEWARE! WHY? BECAUSE BIG COMPANIES LIKE PALMOLIVE DON'T DITCH THEIR CHEMICALS EASY. THEY DON'T DITCH THEM AT ALL. WITH YEARS OF INDEPENDENT NATURAL HEALTH RESEARCH, I OFTEN INFORM PEOPLE: WHEN A COMPANY SAYS "NO THIS, NO THAT" ON THE LABEL, MOST TIMES, THERE ARE OTHER SNEAKY ADDITIVES/CHEMICALS USED. SO THEY MAKE THEIR BEST EFFORTS TO GIVE IMPRESSIVE MISLEADING INFO ON THE LABEL, LEAFLETS and WEBSITE ABOUT THEIR PRODUCTS TO ENTICE YOU INTO MORE CHEMICAL BUYS - THINKING THEY'RE NATURAL.

IF OUR GOVERNMENT WERE TRULY RESPONSIBLE, THEY WOULD PUT A STOP TO THIS. IT'S IN THE INTEREST OF OUR HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. WE PAY THEM TAXES TO SERVE US WELL and ADEQUATE PROTECTION SHOULD BE PROVIDED. THEY HAVE MADE A LAW FOR MISLEADING INFORMATION (on products) WHICH THEY DON'T ENFORCE ANYWHERE NEAR ENOUGH.…

Published on Leave a comment on Sunny Days Ahead – Don’t Stay Away From Sunshine

So many are told to "Stay Away From Sunshine" in Western Countries like USA and Australia. That is based on Flawed Health Science. The Medical Profession is into a lot of that. Many times, if something is GOOD For You, they will tell you it's Bad for you, and Visa-Versa. I've found that through the years. As for taking our beautiful SUNSHINE away, no wonder so many people are feeling Bleak. Let's have Sunshine Inside (of us) and Outside. Both are Healthy, hey!?

Published on Leave a comment on 8 Health Dangers of Canola Oil: Not the Healthy Oil We’ve Been Led to Believe

By Carly Fraser - Health Advocate and Researcher

Canola oil has practically taken over as the food processing industry’s oil of choice. Whether it’s mayonnaise, chips, or salad dressings, canola oil is usually the first, second, or third ingredient on the list. However, the health dangers of Canola oil are far beyond what we’ve been led to believe.

CANOLA: Update Your Knowledge And See If What You Have Been Told Is True!

So if there aren’t any actual health reasons to use it, why would it be so widely used throughout the food industry? As with most reasons certain ingredients are used over others – the price. Canola oil is extremely inexpensive to grow and harvest. It is also very easy to grow, due to its genetic modifications.

Canola oil was first promoted in the early 1970s as natural oil. And in 1995, Monsanto created a Genetically Modified version of Canola. By 2009, over 90 percent of the Canadian Canola Oil Crop was Genetically Engineered!

What is Canola Oil?

Canola oil comes from a descendant of the rapeseed plant, a member of the Brassica genus, along with some of our favorite vegetables like kale, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage.…

There's never been a better time to be a Con Artist.

Frank Abagnale, the subject of the movie “Catch Me If You Can,” is a former teenage Con Artist turned respected security consultant. He says “We give away way too much information and then we wonder why people steal our identities.”

Modern technology makes it easier than ever for criminals to create successful scams while hiding their identity from law enforcement. You could be targeted by a fraudster half a world away, sitting in their pajamas, drinking coffee in the kitchen while on their laptop.

The global cost of cybercrime is almost $600 billion a year, according to a 2018 report from McAfee. And that staggering figure does not include the billions lost to scams and rip-offs that are not internet-related.

So, how do the fraudsters do it? How do they manipulate us into giving them huge amounts of money and our most sensitive personal information?

“They’re very good at convincing you that they are who they say they are and convincing you to do things that you probably normally wouldn’t do,” said Frank Abagnale, a former con artist turned respected security consultant.…
