The next time you’re in the supermarket buying olive oil, you might want to check the label. A new report sheds light on a scam involving legitimate olive oil companies using cheap substitutes to sell their products.

According to the report, these companies are either using GMO soy or GMO canola oil to make olive oil, passing off impure products as the real thing to increase profits. The authorities are warning consumers to be selective in terms of the ingredients of the olive oil they buy to ensure quality.  

Do you know that your extra virgin olive oil is probably fake, thanks to the Mob? Did you know that the Mafia is making a small fortune selling fake olive oil or that olive oil is a $1.5 billion dollar industry in the United States alone? In fact, olive oil is currently Europe’s most adulterated agricultural product! According to Tom Mueller, an investigative journalist who wrote an eye –opening expose on fake olive oil entitled : Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil, 70% of the extra virgin olive oil sold is adulterated — cut with cheaper oils.

Excerpt from Mueller’s Book: 

“Many olive oil scams involve straightforward mixing of low-grade vegetable oils, flavored and colored with plant extracts and sold in tins and bottles emblazoned with the Italian flags or paintings of Mount Vesuvius, together with the folksy names of imaginary producers. More sophisticated scams, like Domenico Ribatti’s typically take place in high-tech laboratories, where cheaper oils of various kinds, made from olives, but also from seeds and nuts, are processed and blended in ways that are extremely difficult to detect with chemical tests.”

A new study found that prostate cancer may be curable using natural remedies. In fact, three compounds, in particular, are so effective in reducing cancer growth that they can be used alone or combined with other anti-cancer treatments.

According to Stefano Tiziani, corresponding author and assistant professor in the Department of Nutritional Sciences and Dell Pediatric Research Institute at UT Austin, the compounds found in turmeric root, apple peels, and grapes have the ability to shrink tumors effectively. By increasing the concentrations of these compounds, they could be used as future treatments for prostate cancer.

(Natural News) A recent study published in Precision Oncology revealed that a potent combination of compounds from turmeric root, apple peels, and grapes help keep prostate cancer at bay. To carry out the study, a team of health experts at the University of Texas at Austin identified 142 natural compounds that may potentially fend off the disease. The research team then tested these compounds on mouse and human cell lines to identify which ones may mitigate the growth of prostate cancer cells when used either alone or in combination with other compounds.

The scientists found that three compounds were notably effective in starving prostate cancer cells and impede their proliferation: the ursolic acid in apple peels, the curcumin in turmeric and the resveratrol in grapes. According to the researchers, ursolic acid was the waxy natural compound commonly seen in apple peels, while curcumin was the bright yellow active ingredient in turmeric. On the other hand, resveratrol was the natural compound found in red grapes or berries. In addition, the study revealed that combining ursolic acid with either resveratrol or curcumin inhibited prostate cancer cells from consuming glutamine. This is a compound that cancer cells need to consume in order to grow, the researchers said

The health benefits of pomegranate aren’t exactly news. Apart from inhibiting cancer growth, pomegranate also keeps the heart healthy. Now a new study found that pomegranate is also beneficial to the brain.

The study reveals that the anti-inflammatory properties of pomegranate may decrease the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease! Researchers added that drinking pomegranate juice will keep the brain younger and healthier.

Over the last several years, scientists have established that inflammation plays a key role in the development of these debilitating diseases. Now, a new study from the University of Huddersfield in the UK has shown that the compound punicalagin, a potent polyphenol present in pomegranates, significantly inhibits the inflammation of a type of glial cell — known as microglia — which are found throughout the brain.

Chris Weller writes in Medical Daily:

“Dr. Olumayokun Olajide, a University researcher interested in the anti-inflammatory properties of natural products, led the research. He and his team ran tests of punicalagin on the cultured brain cells of rats. They looked at the interplay between the compound and any traces of inflammation found in the microglia. Parkinson’s disease, and to a lesser extent Alzheimer’s, relies on compounding inflammatory damage to destroy cells in a cascade.”

The best way to keep the heart healthy is by boosting your diet with foods high in vitamin K. A new study found that people who are vitamin K deficient are at risk of developing heart disease.

According to Mary Ellen Fain, co-first author of the study, kids who have higher levels of vitamin K relative to other kids appear to have better heart health. Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for blood clotting.

Apart from keeping the heart healthy, vitamin K also promotes healthy bones. Fruits and green leafy vegetables are a great source of vitamin K.

(Natural News) Eating more foods rich in vitamin K makes the heart healthier, according to a recent study reported by Science Daily.

Researchers from the Medical College of Georgia (MCG) at Augusta University (AU) studied 766 healthy teenagers aged 14 to 18. They asked the subjects to wear activity monitors for seven days and to self-document what they ate between three and seven days. Most participants recorded their diet for at least six days. The researchers also put the adolescents under an echocardiography test to monitor their left ventricle.

They discovered that those who ate the smallest amount of vitamin K-rich foods, such as spinach, cabbage, iceberg lettuce, broccoli, and olive oil, had a 3.3 percent higher risk of having an unhealthy enlargement of the left ventricle. In addition, they found that the amount of blood pumped out became lower. Factors that affect the heart’s structure and function, such as sex, race, body composition, physical activity, and blood pressure, were also considered.

The Western diet is chock full of refined sugars and if you don’t watch what you eat, you could be consuming more sugar than you thought. Even certain foods that don’t taste sweet – such as spaghetti sauce, granola, and yogurt – could be teeming with refined sugar!

Unfortunately, excessive sugar consumption leads to chronic diseases including obesity and diabetes. This report outlines all the signs that you are unknowingly consuming more sugar than necessary.

Life can often be unfair, and one such instance is the fact that we all just love sugar, while it is detrimental to our health. The taste of sweet is simply irresistible, but as soon as you learn the effects of sugar, you should definitely try to stay away from it as often as possible.

The following signs indicate that you consume too much sugar, and it is high time to do something about

1.Cravings for Sugar/Carbs

You are probably a sugar addict if you often crave for something sweet. Sugar causes addictions, and its consumption leads to a chain reaction of sugar cravings.

2. Lack of energy and tiredness

If you are constantly feeling tired and you lack energy, you are probably consuming too much sugar. Foods high in sugar temporarily boost the energy, and afterwards, you are experiencing a crash, and you remain tired throughout the day.

Scottish DJ Calvin Harris found himself feuding with two doctors over the toxicity of vaccines. In a series of now-deleted Twitter posts, the superstar DJ said shared information about health and vaccine safety with his millions of followers.

Harris put emphasis on several studies that highlight the dangers of immunization as well as other facts that Big Pharma has tried to conceal from the public. The two doctors were, unsurprisingly, quick to defend immunization.

Calvin Harris took to Twitter to criticize British Prime Minister Theresa May for walking out to his song This Is What You Came For at the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester, England. But in the end, he only ended up getting attention for feuding with a couple of doctors after he tweeted-then-deleted some health advice for “grey faced” Theresa May.

Dispensing holistic health advice on social media is a minefield, as many well-intentioned people can attest.

But the experience did not dissuade Calvin Harris, who has over 12 million Twitter followers, from continuing his crusade to educate the masses. 

On Thursday, Calvin argued with another doctor over the toxicity of vaccines, even providing receipts and government reports to prove his argument.
