Here's the transcript of the show:
A new study from Cornell University found a generation variation - or adaptive allele - that appears in populations who have subsisted on a vegetarian diet for generations. This adaptive allele is believed to have occurred to make it easier for vegetarians to absorb essential fatty acids from plants, but it also leaves them more susceptible to inflammation.
According to the study authored by J. Thomas Brenna, "The mutation, called rs66698963 and found in the FADS2 gene, is an insertion or deletion of a sequence of DNA that regulates the expression of two genes, FADS1 and FADS2. These genes are key to making long chain polyunsaturated fats."
Among the polyunsaturated fats are omega-3s and omega-6s, two important fatty acids that the human body cannot make itself. But research indicates that vegetarians with the adaptive allele who stray from a balanced omega-6 to omega-3 diet are at a higher risk of cancer and heart disease.
But, according to a pair of experts, this type of campaign could backfire in a big way. When federal and local health departments use the term "natural" to promote breast-feeding, it could inadvertently fuel concerns over other aspects of health and society that are seen as "unnatural," such as vaccines, genetically modified foods and assisted reproductive technologies, the experts warn.
Comment: Breast-feeding is what 'nature' intended - for the benefit of both mother and child. The fact that articles like the one above are even being written is just insane! The benefits of breastfeeding whether termed 'natural' or not far outweigh any sort of medical or commercial intervention!

"Many victims are still suffering from side effects of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines Cervarix and Gardsil, which include overall pain and disorders of perception, movement and memory," lawyer Masumi Minaguchi, a representative from the planned lawsuit's defense team told a news conference in Tokyo.
Minaguchi said the victims will file the suit sometime after June against the central government, GlaxoSmithKlien PLC, the maker of Cervarix, and Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., the maker of Gardsil, at four district courts in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka.
"The victims wish to live a peaceful life and prevent further suffering by finding out the truth (about the vaccine side effects)," Minaguchi added.
Comment: Dr. Bernard Dalbergue, a former pharmaceutical industry physician with Gardasil manufacturer Merck predicted that this vaccine will become one of the biggest medical scandals of all time. Not only is the costly vaccine worthless, (and the manufacturers knew this), but it has either killed or destroyed the lives of many previously healthy young women.

He then asked them to keep their hands raised if they had also been breastfed and if, in more recent years, they'd avoided antibiotics, Z-Paks and major surgery. In the end, just a few dozen people in the audience of 250 or so still had their hands up.
This wasn't just an exercise in TMI: Diamandis was hoping to assess the microbiome status of his listeners. All of the aforementioned qualities suggest that a person's gut bacteria are healthy and undisturbed. Soon after Diamandis' straw poll, the medical philanthropist Lee Stein walked around handing out feces collection kits to the people who might be in possession of the perfect poop.

Brad Harris (inset) founded and owns Novus Health Care Services, Inc., according to state records.
Novus Health Care Service is a company based in Frisco, Texas that provides in-house care for terminally ill and elderly patients. The company's website indicates clearly that Novus prides itself on the quality of care and "improved patient outcomes" as a result of the services its employees provide. However, an affidavit released by the FBI suggests Brad Harris has failed to comply with the principles of his own company.

Micrograph showing cortical pseudolaminar necrosis, a finding seen in strokes on medical imaging and at autopsy.
Experts have known for some time that stroke severity is influenced by the presence of two types of cell, found abundantly within the intestine, that calibrate immune responses: Regulatory T cells have a beneficial inflammatory effect, protecting an individual from stroke. But gamma delta T cells produce a cytokine that causes harmful inflammation after a stroke.
A team of researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center set about investigating whether they could tilt the balance of these cells in the favor of beneficial cells by tinkering with the body's bacterial residents. To do so, they bred two colonies of mice: One group's intestinal flora was resistant to antibiotics whereas the other's gut bacteria was vulnerable to treatment. As a result, when given a combination of antibiotics over the course of two weeks, only the latter's microbiota underwent change. The researchers then obstructed the cerebral arteries of the mice, inducing an ischemic stroke (the most common type). They found that subsequent brain damage was 60 percent smaller in the drug-susceptible mice than it was in the other group.
Fortunately for the millions wishing to see this film and make their own decisions, there is another theater right down the road from Tribeca's festivities. The Angelika Film Center will be hosting Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe with tickets going on sale Wednesday (TBA), March 30. The theater plans on premiering the film Friday, April 1. Those interested in showing the film in their own towns should subscribe at VaxxedTheMovie.com to get involved.
Vaxxed: How did they threaten Robert De Niro? De Niro talked to Congressman about censored Vaxxed film
"On July 26, 2000, the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association published a review by Dr. Barbara Starfield, a revered public-health expert at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. Dr. Starfield's review, 'Is US health really the best in the world?', concluded that, every year in the US, the medical system kills 225,000 people. That's 2.25 million killings per decade." (Jon Rappoport, The Starfield Revelation)This is explosive.
This is about a film no one can see, because it exposes lunatics and destroyers in the vaccine industry.
Here is a quote from the Vaxxed producer and director, after their film was just axed from Robert De Niro's Tribeca Festival (as reported by Jeremy Gerard, see: "'Vaxxed' Filmmakers Accuse De Niro, Tribeca Film Fest Of 'Censorship' In Wake Of Cancelation,"3/26/2016):
Comment: See this interview with the producer of 'Vaxxed,' Del Bigtree, shortly before he was informed that his film was pulled from the Tribeca Film Festival. And note that ABC News used only 5 seconds of the interview when it aired a segment on the story. If you think that the ABC News segment is grossly biased on the 'vaccines are safe' side, you're correct.
Low-carb and ketogenic diets have many health benefits.
For example, it is well known that they can cause weight loss and help fight diabetes.
However, they are also beneficial for certain brain disorders.
This article explores how low-carb and ketogenic diets affect the brain.
What Are Low-Carb and Ketogenic Diets?
Although there is a lot of overlap between low-carb and ketogenic diets, there are also a few important differences.












Comment: The research here at SOTT has long held that the optimal diet for humans is a diet that is low in carbohydrates and higher in proteins and fats. There is a lot of evidence that points to a high-carb diet being very unhealthy for humans in the long run:
