A staggering 99.99% of Americans fail to get the minimum recommended potassium intake (despite it being perhaps only half of our natural intake) and stay below the recommended sodium intake (even though it may be twice our natural intake). Worldwide, physical inactivity accounts for more than 10 million years of healthy life lost, but what we eat accounts for nearly 20 times that. Unhealthy diets shave hundreds of millions of disability-free years off people’s lives every yea

“CoQ10 plays a significant role in boosting the immune system and physical performance, as tissues and cells involved with immune function are highly energy-dependent and therefore require an adequate supply of CoQ10 for optimal function.” — Dr. Peter Langsjoen, Cardiologist and CoQ10 Researcher, Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications Clinical Fact #1: Cholesterol lowering drugs such as Lipitor®, Pravachol®, Zocor® and Crestor® as well as other highly prescribed

The eggs, produced by Midwest Poultry Services, L.P. and sol

Synthetic biologists are one step closer to building life from scratch. They’ve just created a fully synthetic “SpudCell” that can feed, grow, and reproduce. Science like this rarely stays in the lab for long. It tends to end up in food, whether that was the intent at creation. And when it does, federal regulators aren’t doing anything to stop it. The only hope we have is for state lawmakers to draw the line. Several states have taken action to ban lab-grown (cell-cultured) m

Oral health is absolutely critical since it affects every single area of your body, not just your teeth. When plaque builds up and cavities set in, you can quickly develop gum disease, infection, and other health issues that negatively impact your quality of life and force you to spend far too much time in the dentist’s chair. If you already understand the value of oral health and are a brushing fanatic, make sure to use your fluoride-laden mouthwash every night, and floss w

These are just some of the weird and wonderful modern prepared cheese foods we have access to these days. If you look at the labels of various cheese products in the grocery store, you will likely see claims like “good source of calcium,” “made with real milk,” or “kids eat right.” You might think that consuming cheese products ticks off your nutritional boxes by providing the r
