Some 63 percent of deaths in Russia are caused by illnesses related to poor diet, the country's consumer watchdog, Rospotrebnadzor, said, while promoting its voluntary 'traffic lights' food markings.

The marking system is designed to help people tell unhealthy products from healthy ones. The markings - green, yellow and red - show how much fat, saturated fats, sugar and salt a product contains, making it easier for consumers to choose their rations wisely.

"Some 63 percent of deaths in Russia are related to illnesses, caused by bad diet, while obesity affects women 2-2.5 times more often than men," the watchdog said in a statement.

Health and wellness news is getting stranger and stranger as humanity is thrust into a dystopian future. Changes that beggar belief are occurring right before our eyes. Scientists are arrested for doing science. Rogue researchers are creating genetically modified babies. Big Business is hellbent on poisoning the food supply. Big Pharma is permitted to kill and maim at will with their biological products. Ideologically possessed nutjobs are supported in convincing children that they were born in the wrong bodies.

This isn't some B-movie horror flick. This is but a small sampling of the utter madness of life on Earth in 2018.

Join us as we delve into the weirdness and stay tuned for Zoya's Pet Health Segment on GMOs and their effects on pets.

Should parents pre-chew their babies food?

A step further in the practice of pre-chewing is "kiss-feeding"
The actress Alicia Silverstone got a lot of grief last week after posting a video to her blog in which she is shown "pre-chewing" her baby's food, and offering it to him straight from her mouth. The "Clueless" star's 10-month-old son, Bear, appears to enjoy being fed like a baby bird. "He literally crawls across the room to attack my mouth if I'm eating," Silverstone blogged.

While most people who commented on the video were quick to voice their disgust and vilify the ill-considered whims of celebrity parents, science suggests that "pre-mastication," or the pre-chewing of adult food for infants, is actually a traditional and healthy feeding method. Standard practice among our blender-lacking ancestors, pre-chewing is still the norm in many non-Western cultures. The act exposes infants to their mothers' saliva, giving them an immune system boost that they can't get from the sterile, pulverized baby food bought in stores.

The benefits of pre-chewing have only recently been investigated, but they appear to parallel those of breast-feeding.

Comment: This is one of those practices that just makes sense, and there are scientific studies, and millennia of experience, to back it up: Also check out SOTT radio's: The Health & Wellness Show: Child and Infant Health

Major corporations have completely taken over government policy, as a powerhouse conglomerate of government & corporate collusion seems to have expanded its tentacles across the entire globe. It's a huge problem that plagues our world today, and it's something that's constantly made clear by evidence, like the documents revealed in this article, or from those who work directly within these corporations and government agencies.

A few years ago, a group of more than a dozen scientists from within the CDC put out a public statement, while remaining anonymous, outlining the big problem of corporate influence and the effect it is having on health policy decisions. They were referred to as the Spider Papers. The authors really stressed just how big of a problem this is.

Cases of norovirus, also known as the winter vomiting bug, are on the rise this year - just as many of us are doing everything we can to avoid getting sick.

According to statistics from Public Health England, there have been 1254 outbreaks of the norovirus since early July this year, compared with 1134 outbreaks in the same period since last year.

Daily Mail runs hysterical hit piece on Mikhaila Peterson: "How fake food news is putting us all at risk"

Pedlars of fake food news: Are Gwyneth Paltrow and a Canadian mother of one who claims to cure arthritis by an all-beef diet 'putting us all at risk'?

Carrot juice that cures cancer, deadly sweeteners in a can of Coke, and a girl who claims the key to beating arthritis is a steak-only diet. Fake news, all of it. Yet in the largely unregulated world of social media, such extraordinary claims about diet are rife, and are regularly shared - and believed - by millions of internet-users.

Last week, in the first of our two-part exposé on health news fakery, we revealed how lives are being put at risk by fake news about vaccines, cholesterol-lowering statins and the risks of mobile phones and plastic bottles.

Comment: Bottom line: When it comes to your health, do your own homework (lots of it). Read actual research papers on your topic of interest, find people who share their real experiences, and ignore rags like the Daily Mail.

If cannabis can kill "incurable" brain cancer, why is it criminalized?

Cannabis contains a compound that may kill brain cancers that chemotherapy and radiation can't touch, so why isn't it being used today?

In recent years, we've focused heavily on educating our readers about the still relatively unknown role that cancer stem cells play in cancer, both in terms of conventional cancer treatment failure and the exceptionally promising role that natural interventions play in targeting these highly malignant cells.

It is encouraging to witness a growing awareness that cancer has been completely misunderstood, and that in order to make progress against the global epidemic we will have to go back to the wisdom of the ancients by using foods and spices instead of toxic chemicals and radiation to fight a disease that should be classified more as a survival mechanism unmasked than an inexorably lethal, genetically-driven condition. Even the National Cancer Institute now admits that it had been wrong for decades about "early stage" breast (DCIS) and prostate (HGPIN) "cancers," and that they should be reclassified as indolent or benign lesions of epithelial origin, i.e. not "cancer" at all! Essentially, therefore, millions were overdiagnosed and overtreated for cancers they never had. Even now, despite this admission, the vast majority of conventional doctors have yet to account for, acknowledge, or integrate this radically different definition of cancer and its implications for treatment into their "standard of care."

Comment: The continued suppression of medical cannabis should be looked at for what it is: criminal withholding of vital medical treatment from those in need. The stigma is dysfunctional and outdated. It's time to give people the medicine they need.

CDC claims flu shots reduce deaths in the elderly; so why have mortality rates substantially increased along with increases in vaccine uptake?

flu shots elderly
Despite a considerable increase in vaccination coverage among people aged 65 or older—from at most 20 percent before 1980 to 65 percent in 2001—pneumonia and influenza mortality rates substantially increased.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone aged six months and up, including pregnant women, get an annual influenza vaccine. The two fundamental assumptions underlying the CDC's policy are that vaccination reduces transmission of the virus and reduces the risk of potentially deadly complications. Yet multiple reviews of the scientific literature have concluded that there is no good scientific evidence to support the CDC's claims.

Notwithstanding the science, to increase demand for the pharmaceutical companies' influenza vaccine products, the CDC makes use of fear marketing, asserting as fact that tens of thousands of people die each year from the flu, even though the CDC's numbers are actually estimates that are controversial because they are based on dubious assumptions that appear to result in a great overestimation of the negative impact of influenza on societal health.

The primary justification for the CDC's flu vaccine policy is the assumption that it significantly reduces the mortality rate among people aged 65 and older, the group at highest risk of potentially deadly complications from the flu. The CDC declares to the public that the vaccine does so as though this was a scientifically proven fact. Yet, the reality is that the CDC's bold claim that the vaccine greatly reduces the risk of death among the elderly has been thoroughly discredited by the scientific community.

The sound of fall weather: Can leaf blowers make you deaf?

leaf blowers
Inside your inner ear are tiny hair-like structures vital to your hearing. As you age, these cells begin to degrade, reducing your sensitivity to sound. However, you may also suffer damage to your hearing from exposure to loud noises.

As James Fallows, staff writer at The Atlantic discusses in this short video, dangers to your hearing don't have to come from loud music, entertainment or massive construction machinery. The seemingly inconsequential gas-powered leaf blower may play a pivotal role increasing your risk of hearing damage and loss.

Even minor hearing loss is associated with negative consequences. After controlling for education and other important demographic factors, hearing loss is independently associated with economic hardship and underemployment.1

Social rejection, loneliness and avoidance or withdrawal from organized social situations triggered by hearing loss also increases the risk for depression,2 and since hearing loss reduces the ability to be alert to environmental cues that may signal dangerous situations, your risk of an accident also increases.

Researchers from Johns Hopkins University3 found a strong link between the degree of hearing loss and the risk for dementia. Hearing loss may also complicate the diagnosis and prognosis of those suffering from dementia.

New York State senator gets sick for two weeks, then dies after getting flu shot

New York State Senator Jose Peralta
New York State Senator Jose Peralta, 47, died tragically after having symptoms of illness for two weeks, which he attributed to a flu vaccine he had taken.
On the eve of Thanksgiving, New York State Senator Jose Peralta, 47, died tragically and suddenly of what is being called 'septic shock'. This New York Post article interviewed Peralta's wife Evelyn who offered a few details:
"All they said is that he was septic," Evelyn Peralta said Friday afternoon, after meeting officials with the city Medical Examiner's office. "And that led to organ failure," she said of her 47-year-old husband, the state Senate's first Dominican-American member.

"They need to do additional tests," she said. "There is no final conclusion yet. They don't know" what caused the fatal blood infection, she said. "His body was poisoning itself."

She added, tearfully, "I just came back from viewing the body. The doctor said it's rare, [given] his age and that it happened so quick ... he was healthy. He was a healthy guy."

Comment: It's amazing the outright refusal of the pro-vaxxers to ever even consider the idea that a negative reaction to a vaccine is possible and could result in health consequences. Any medication can cause a bad reaction in some people, and vaccines are not somehow magically exempt from this possibility. Yet even the suggestion that a vaccine caused a death is met with an absurd level of resistance. The death of Peralta should be investigated thoroughly to determine whether or not the flu shot was responsible and proper precautions taken if that turns out to be the case. But in the current environment of pro-vax hysteria, the possibility of an honest inquiry is basically nil.
