Killing the nuclear deal with Iran will put the U.S. back on a path to war and that is exactly what the Israeli leader has sought for the past twenty-five years.
A recent study published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Microbiology has found that pigs raised on organic farms have significantly fewer strains of antibiotic-resistant Campylobacter bacteria than pigs raised on conventional farms. Campylobacter is a bacteria known to jump from livestock, particularly from poultry and pigs, to infect humans.
Dietary fiber is made up of two types: soluble, which easily dissolves in water and becomes gel-like, and insoluble, which doesn’t dissolve but stays basically intact as it moves through your colon; both types are important for digestion. Fiber, especially that found in vegetables, is important for your diet on a daily basis because it promotes bowel movements and keeps your colon free of obstruction while benefiting your heart health and blood sugar control. Fiber helps optimize your gut microbiome and your immune system, while resistant starches act as prebiotics, helping to feed healthy bacteria in your gut.
Fasting is the oldest dietary intervention in the world. Modern science confirms it can have a profoundly beneficial influence on your health and longevity. Increasing your daily intermittent fasting to 20 or 21 hours will enable you to transition into more extended fasts without significant side effects. You can also ease into it using a “fat fast” or bone broth. Contrary to popular belief, water fasting is safe for most people. Groups that should NOT fast include those who are underweight or malnourished, children and pregnant or breast-feeding women.

A New York Times examination of corporate records, epidemiological studies and government reports — as well as interviews with scores of nutritionists and health experts around the world — reveals a sea change in the way food is produced, distributed and advertised across much of the globe. The shift, many public health experts say, is contributing to a new epidemic of diabetes and heart disease, chronic illnesses that are fed by soaring rates of obesity in places that struggled with hunger and malnutrition just a generation ago.
A Minnesota native who spent the past 20 years as the chief lobbyist for the soybean industry is poised to move into regulating it in the No. 2 job at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Think of this as the new face of homeland security: containing the damage to America’s seacoasts, forests, and other vulnerable areas caused by extreme weather events made all the more frequent and destructive thanks to climate change. This is a “war” that won’t have a name -- not yet, not in the Trump era, but it will be no less real for that.
According to University of Texas at Austin professor Raj Patel, an expert in ecology and food systems, our demand for meat is driving the sixth mass extinction. Patel is one of many leading academics who contemplate declaring a new age on Earth, called the Anthropocene, since “the fossils of soon-to-be extinct animals will form a line in the rocks of the future.”
