Recent research continues to prove what has been known for many years, that DHA is a vital nutrient in the development of proper eyesight, cognitive function, and learning. It is especially important for a mother to consume DHA during pregnancy and while nursing. If a mother isn’t nursing then a DHA-fortified formula is mandatory. Molecularly distilled DHA is the preferred source as there is no mercury which may be present in fish that are the primary source of dietary DHA. The brain is one of the fattiest organs in the body and will build its structure out of whatever types of fat are in the diet. Imagine the ability of a brain made of French fries, potato chips, corn chips, and other junk food…

New research shows that the high fructose corn syrup used in soda pop is not only a lot of sugar, IT IS TOXIC TO HUMAN HEALTH. It took ignorant public health officials two decades to figure out trans fats were really as bad as was obvious. How long will it take this time?

Yale researchers have determined that men who eat half a cup of broccoli or cauliflower per week are half as likely to develop the deadly form of prostate cancer. This information comes from the 29,000 men participating in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial.

New research shows that ovarian cancer cells pretreated with exposure to cranberry extract rich in antioxidants enabled chemo drugs to kill the cancer cells six times more effectively than untreated cells...Cranberry by itself also showed the ability to reduce and prevent the spreading of some types of cancer cells…

A new randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled cardiovascular study evaluating natural vitamin E, synthetic vitamin C, and synthetic beta-carotene has shown that natural vitamin E reduced cardiovascular death or serious cardiovascular disease by a statistically significant 13%, the primary end point of the study. Natural vitamin E also showed improvement in secondary end points, including a 22% reduction in heart attacks, a 27% reduction in strokes (31% when combined with vitamin C), and a 9% reduction in cardiovascular death. These results for natural vitamin E are nothing short of astounding as they used the gold standard of human testing!

United States Department of Agriculture scientists are conducting some rather interesting animal experiments with blueberry extracts. In one experiment they fed blueberry extracts to middle-aged mice that were already developing brain plaque (similar to early onset Alzheimer’s). The blueberry did not get rid of the plaque, rather it improved brain function so that the blueberry fed rats had similar cognitive abilities to mice with no brain plaques and significantly better cognitive function than mice with brain plaques who were not fed blueberry extract....

Monsanto, a company famous for its lead role in using synthetic growth hormone to boost milk production, the toxic sweetener aspartame, the alteration of our food supply with genetically modified trash masquerading as food, and poisoning the entire world with PCBs may have finally seen the beginning of the end. Monsanto has hoodwinked and bought off the FDA and EPA for years. But now consumer preferences are causing big changes....
