Trump administration pushing to overturn rulings against Bayer, Monsanto for health damage caused by glyphosate (Roundup)
California is leading the charge in holding Monsanto (now owned by Bayer AG) accountable for the widespread health damage caused by its cancer-causing herbicide Roundup (glyphosate). But the Trump administration is actively fighting against this justice-seeking endeavor by pushing to overturn a landmark court ruling that found Monsanto guilty of basically committing crimes against humanity.
It was August of 2018 when Monsanto lost its first major lawsuit involving glyphosate, the primary active ingredient in Roundup. Dewayne Johnson, a groundskeeper in California, successfully argued that Monsanto knowingly hid evidence linking Roundup exposure to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
The jury in the case ultimately decided that Monsanto had acted with "malice," and the company was consequently ordered to pay $289 million in damages. But if the Trump administration gets its way, then Monsanto will eventually be vindicated of this conviction – or as we call this type of situation here in the United States, just more crony capitalism as usual.
A Ninth Circuit court brief filed back in December reveals that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) both want to see this ruling against Monsanto overturned by a higher court. Immediately after this filing, Bayer, Monsanto's new owner, saw its stock prices immediately soar, according to reports.
"This decision isn't surprising seeing as [how] Trump ran his whole campaign on the economy, not environmental or health safety," writes Phillip Schneider for Waking Times.
"According to a 2017 Associated Press analysis, almost half of Trump's EPA appointees have previous industry ties, with about one-third previously working as lawyers or lobbyists for chemical or fossil fuel companies like Monsanto."

Bush, Obama, Trump – they all support corporate fascism
Believe it or not, despite all of his "drain the swamp" rhetoric, Trump is really no different than previous administrations when it comes to revolving-door politics between industry and government.
During the Obama administration, nearly 70 "ethics waivers" were signed allowing former industry heads to move into government positions "regulating" the very industries for which they previously worked. Already under Trump, some 24 of these same ethics waivers have been signed by Trump pick Don McGahn – with likely many more on the way.
Schneider also notes that back in November, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Trump administration had "unlawfully excluded millions of tons of toxic materials from undergoing safety review, including common products such as fire retardant, house paint, and insulation."
In other words, the only thing that seems to matter to Trump is posting higher stock market numbers that can be falsely equated with a "good economy." Public safety doesn't seem to matter, which means more hormone-disrupting poisons on Americans' dinner plates (but at least Israel got the Golan Heights!).
America First isn't really panning out the way that a lot of Trump's supporters had hoped, based on his earlier campaign promises. "America," in this context, would appear to only mean American corporations. Ordinary American people, on the other hand, are being left behind to fend for themselves, at least when it comes to trying to find clean food for their families to eat.
"It doesn't appear that the Trump administration will allow Bayer's stock to go down without a fight," concludes Schneider, "but I have a feeling that isn't going to stop victims of [Roundup] from seeking justice."

High-fat diets are LITERALLY depressing – here’s why
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines overweight or obesity as the abnormal or excessive accumulation of fat that presents a health risk. Obesity is caused by either one of two things: genetics or an increased consumption of high-calorie foods coupled with a sedentary lifestyle. People with obesity suffer from abnormalities characteristic of metabolic syndrome and an increased risk of chronic and fatal diseases like cancer. Studies have also linked obesity to depression, and the results of several clinical studies demonstrate a positive association between the two. However, the mechanism underlying this association is still unknown.
In a recent study published in the journal Translational Psychiatry, researchers from the U.S. and the U.K. investigated whether obesity is a causative factor for the development of depression. They also looked at possible molecular pathways that link the two disorders. The researchers found that genetically induced or diet-induced obesity leads to depression when a signaling pathway called the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway is disrupted, and this disruption results from the influx of saturated fatty acids in the brain, specifically in the hypothalamus. This influx is caused by the consumption of a fat-dense diet. The researchers also discovered that the loss of PDE4A, an enzyme that influences the development of obesity, can prevent both genetically induced and diet-induced depression-like behavior in mice.
The link between obesity and depression
The 3',5'-cyclic AMP (cAMP)/protein kinase A (PKA) signaling pathway is an important signal transduction pathway. cAMP is a secondary messenger molecule used by cells in response to stimulation from different hormones and neurotransmitters. cAMP plays a role in various cell functions, regulating important cell processes such as cell growth, differentiation, protein expression and gene transcription.
PKA, on the other hand, is an enzyme responsible for all the cellular responses facilitated by cAMP. It is often called an end effector of a variety of hormones that work via the cAMP signaling pathway. PKA activity is regulated by the concentration of cAMP in cells and involves the regulation of vital cell functions, such as the metabolism of glycogen, sugar and lipids. PKA also regulates different neuronal functions.
According to studies, cAMP signaling is impaired in depression by enzymes called phosphodiesterases (PDEs). These enzymes are responsible for degrading cAMP in cells. Among the many PDEs that exist, members of the PDE4 family, particularly PDE4A, play a major role in regulating cognition and depressive disorders. These enzymes also interact with a group of free fatty acid receptors (FFARs) in the brain that bind to dietary fatty acids of varying lengths and saturation. Dietary fatty acids regulate the melanocortin signaling pathway, the most important neuronal pathway for human obesity.
Using lipidomic and transcriptomic methods, the researchers successfully identified the mechanism that links the consumption of a high-fat diet (HFD) to alterations in hypothalamic function that lead to depression. They found that HFD selectively induces the accumulation of palmitic acid, the most common saturated fatty acid found in living organisms, in the hypothalamus. HFD not only suppressed the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway in mice, it also increased the concentration of FFAR1. Mice with impaired cAMP/PKA signaling due to the influx of fatty acids in their hypothalamus developed depression-like behavior.
On the other hand, the researchers found that a deficiency of PDE4A protected mice fed an HFD from genetic- or dietary-induced depression. (Related: Obesity causes depression, concludes “strongest evidence yet”.)
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that consumption of saturated fats disrupts hypothalamic functions by suppressing cAMP/PKA signaling via the activation of PDE4A. With this mechanism in mind, they believe that inhibiting FFAR1 and/or increasing cAMP signaling is a potential therapeutic target that can counteract the effects of genetically induced or diet-induced obesity on depression.

Lifestyle and diet go “hand-in-hand” when it comes to beating Type 2 diabetes
Diabetes is a burden in many areas around the world.

In the U.S., around 30 million, or nearly one in 10 Americans, have diabetes , with at least 7.2 million of those undiagnosed.
While the numbers paint a grim picture, people can still win against this disease with changes in their diet and lifestyle. In their study, researchers from the Louis Bolk Instituut in the Netherlands reported how a six-month lifestyle intervention program helped those with Type 2 diabetes take control of their condition. Those who completed the program not only reported feeling better afterward but also reduced their use of prescription drugs.
“Routine care setting could improve glycemic control and reduce the use of glucose-lowering medication in motivated [Type 2] diabetics,” they wrote in their study. “It provides a step in the direction of more practice-based evidence.”
A cure as old as time
Healthy eating and healthy living go together: It's a key idea promoted by both traditional and conventional systems of medicine. For the latter, however, studies on how it can benefit even those with Type 2 diabetes are limited. An article in Canadian Family Physician even identified a “serious gap” in literature when it came to the relevance of lifestyle and dietary changes in treating Type 2 diabetes.
In contrast, traditional Chinese medicine uses both for treating diabetes. For instance, a review from the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine revealed how acupuncture can improve insulin levels and lower glucose levels, while another paper published in Diabetes Spectrum looked at herbal and dietary approaches to diabetes.
For the current study, the team used a program called Reverse Diabetes2, which uses a digital education platform, coaching, nutrition and lifestyle counseling, cooking classes and medication management to gain insights into Type 2 diabetes. Over 70 participants were enrolled in the program, all of whom had Type 2 diabetes and were classified as obese, in terms of body mass index. During the program, experts explained the importance of cooking, managing stress, exercise and proper diet to the participants. In addition, they were asked to increase their intake of fresh, unprocessed foods; foods that contained healthy fats; and low-glycemic carbohydrates, and each participant was encouraged to develop his own dietary choices.
At the close of the study, the participants reported feeling better: They reported improved sleep, reduced fatigue and even weight loss. Many participants also had reduced their medication, with some even eliminating it completely. While 90 percent of the participants were on glucose-lowering drugs at the beginning of the study, nearly half of them had lowered their medication by the end of the program. In addition, the team also noted a decrease in HbA1c levels in the participants after the study, which meant a dip in blood sugar levels.
“This pilot study showed that a six-month multicomponent group-based program in a routine care setting could improve glycemic control and reduce the use of glucose-lowering medication in motivated [people with Type 2 diabetes],” wrote the researchers. While they acknowledged that more full-scale studies are needed to fully confirm their initial findings, the team is hopeful that their work could serve as the foundation for more evidence-based practice for treating diabetes. (Related: Akuamma seeds offer potent antioxidants that can help prevent diabetes.)
You don't need to wait for diabetes to strike
Fortunately, practicing a healthy diet and an active lifestyle isn't just limited to diabetics. People looking to improve their overall health can greatly benefit from switching up their diets to include more blueberries, oranges, fatty fish and flax seeds, for starters. They can even squeeze in a 30-minute brisk walk every day to meet the recommendations for physical health.

Court records show that a federal informant had been giving orders to members of the hate group to commit acts of anti-Semitic terror.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported last week that a key leader within “The Base” was a federal informant responsible ordering anti-Semitic terror attacks:
One of the group’s ringleaders became an informant and gave investigators details over the past several months. The documents in Barasneh’s case do not name the person but note he has been federally charged in another state for his role.
The man admitted he directed the group to vandalize minority-owned properties, calling it “Operation Kristallnacht,” a reference to Nazi Germany and the night Jewish homes, hospitals and other properties were ransacked and destroyed.
The man told investigators he said: “If there’s a window that wants to be broken, don’t be shy.”
This would not be the first time that the federal government has infiltrated extremist right-wing groups and made domestic terrorists into intelligence assets. The FBI infamously paid off Ku Klux Klan leader George Dorsett of Greensboro, NC for years while he was still burning crosses and fomenting the hatred of minorities.

The FBI, in other words, IS the terror group that threatens America.

In effect, Gov. Northam deployed snipers in a Las Vegas-style tactical position to fire upon the crowd, and he made sure the crowd was entirely unarmed and unable to fire back once the shooting began.
Gov. Ralph Northam is a criminal traitor and should face arrest by the DOJ for his actions in Virginia. And that doesn't even count his complicity in baby murder, for which he will be judged by God if not the people of Virginia much sooner.

naturalnews--2020-01-27--You don't have to be vegan to be deficient in vitamin B12 — here's what you need to eat

( Natural News ) There ’ s a good reason why health experts constantly remind people to eat a balanced diet : Good nutrition comes from eating the right foods .
According to the World Health Organization ( WHO ) , nutrition is a critical component of health and development .
Good nutrition not only helps build a stronger immune system , it also lowers the risk of diseases and contributes to longevity .
To have better nutrition , you need to get the right amount of essential nutrients from your meals .
Essential nutrients are organic compounds that your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ own or produce only in small amounts .
But since they play huge roles in many bodily processes , you need to acquire them from other sources .
One example of an essential micronutrient is vitamin B12 or cobalamin .
Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin needed for the production of blood cells .
It is also used to create nerves and DNA .
But since the body can not make vitamin B12 , you need to get it from foods or supplements .
A deficiency in vitamin B12 is fairly common worldwide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enough vitamin B12-rich foods .
This is especially true for people following a strict vegan diet , as vitamin B12 is usually found in animal and dairy products .
Symptoms of a deficiency include pale skin , fatigue , breathlessness and a “ pins and needles ” sensation caused by nerve damage .
One study even linked low vitamin B12 levels with an increased risk of dementia , Parkinson ’ s disease and Alzheimer ’ s .
Thankfully , these problems could be easily circumvented by adding more sources of vitamin B12 to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Institutes of Health ( NIH ) , adults need to consume 2.4 micrograms ( mcg ) of vitamin B12 daily .
If you are a vegan , supplementation can help you meet your daily vitamin B12 requirement .
But for those who aren ’ t , here is a list of foods rich in vitamin B12 .
• Fortified cereal .
Here ’ s an option that may work well for both vegetarians and vegans .
While fortified cereals aren ’ t recommended as part of a healthy diet , these cereals can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vitamins , especially vitamin B12 .
This is because of the food fortification process , which adds nutrients not originally found in the food .
In fact , studies have shown that eating fortified cereals can help increase vitamin B12 concentrations in the body .
However , if you choose to eat fortified cereals , opt for a brand that offers high-fiber whole grains without any added sugar .
• Salmon .
While salmon is well-known for its high concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids , it can also be a great source of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ salmon can provide more than 80 percent of the recommended daily intake of vitamin B12 .
It can also provide a hefty amount ( 4,023 milligrams ) of omega-3 fatty acids .

Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that you need to perform various bodily functions .
By eating foods rich in vitamin B12 or taking vitamin B12 supplements , you can avoid a deficiency altogether .

You don’t have to be vegan to be deficient in vitamin B12 — here’s what you need to eat
There's a good reason why health experts constantly remind people to eat a balanced diet: Good nutrition comes from eating the right foods. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), nutrition is a critical component of health and development . Good nutrition not only helps build a stronger immune system, it also lowers the risk of diseases and contributes to longevity.
To have better nutrition, you need to get the right amount of essential nutrients from your meals. Essential nutrients are organic compounds that your body can't produce on its own or produce only in small amounts. But since they play huge roles in many bodily processes, you need to acquire them from other sources. One example of an essential micronutrient is vitamin B12 or cobalamin.
Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin needed for the production of blood cells. It is also used to create nerves and DNA. But since the body cannot make vitamin B12, you need to get it from foods or supplements.
A deficiency in vitamin B12 is fairly common worldwide and is often caused by not eating enough vitamin B12-rich foods. This is especially true for people following a strict vegan diet, as vitamin B12 is usually found in animal and dairy products. Symptoms of a deficiency include pale skin, fatigue, breathlessness and a "pins and needles" sensation caused by nerve damage. One study even linked low vitamin B12 levels with an increased risk of dementia, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's. Thankfully, these problems could be easily circumvented by adding more sources of vitamin B12 to your diet.
Foods rich in vitamin B12
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), adults need to consume 2.4 micrograms (mcg) of vitamin B12 daily. If you are a vegan, supplementation can help you meet your daily vitamin B12 requirement. But for those who aren't, here is a list of foods rich in vitamin B12.
Fortified cereal. Here's an option that may work well for both vegetarians and vegans. While fortified cereals aren't recommended as part of a healthy diet, these cereals can still be a decent source of B vitamins, especially vitamin B12. This is because of the food fortification process, which adds nutrients not originally found in the food. In fact, studies have shown that eating fortified cereals can help increase vitamin B12 concentrations in the body. However, if you choose to eat fortified cereals, opt for a brand that offers high-fiber whole grains without any added sugar. Salmon. While salmon is well-known for its high concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids, it can also be a great source of B vitamins. Half a fillet of salmon can provide more than 80 percent of the recommended daily intake of vitamin B12. It can also provide a hefty amount (4,023 milligrams) of omega-3 fatty acids. Clams. These mollusks are small, chewy shellfish that pack a powerful nutritional punch. Clams are a good source of protein and contain high amounts of vitamin B12. In fact, 20 small clams can net you more than 3,100 percent of the recommended daily intake. Beef. Not only can beef be turned into a delectable and fancy meal, it is also a fantastic source of vitamin B12. A single 186-gram steak provides nearly 200 percent of the recommended daily intake for vitamin B12. In addition, a steak of the same size can provide a good amount of vitamins B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin) and B6. Milk and dairy products. Coming straight from the cow, it's no wonder why milk and other dairy products are excellent sources of vitamin B12. A study published in The Journal of Nutrition found that the body is more capable of absorbing vitamin B12 from dairy products than from fish, eggs and beef. Another study, which appeared in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, showed that eating dairy products is more effective than eating fish at increasing vitamin B12 levels.
Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that you need to perform various bodily functions. By eating foods rich in vitamin B12 or taking vitamin B12 supplements, you can avoid a deficiency altogether.

Effects of long-term micronutrient consumption for improving psychiatric symptoms
Researchers from New Zealand conducted investigated the safety of two commercially available broad-spectrum micronutrient fomulas, administered at doses above the Recommended Dietary Allowances, for the long-term treatment of individuals with psychiatric symptoms. Their findings were published in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.
Numerous studies have documented the efficacy of micronutrient (vitamins and minerals)-based interventions when it comes to treating psychiatric problems in the short term. However, the long-term safety of these interventions has not yet been explored.
To address this, the researchers used purchasing records to select participants from ongoing research studies and the community who are on long-term micronutrient treatment (medication-free) for psychiatric problems like attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety and/or depression.
Seventeen children and 17 adults underwent blood tests to assess their full blood count, coagulation profile, liver and kidney function, fasting glucose, iron studies, key nutrients and prolactin. They also answered questionnaires that evaluated their psychological/psychiatric functioning. The average length of their treatment was 2.66 years.
The researchers reported that, except for vitamin B12, which was elevated in almost all the participants, 94.6 percent of the blood test results were within the test reference ranges.
Apart from one participant, who was diagnosed with hemochromatosis, they found no other clinically relevant adverse changes in the pre- and post-treatment blood results.
The participants also reported no clinically significant adverse effects.
According to post-treatment psychometrics, 85 percent of the participants were in non-clinical ranges for measures of ADHD, depression, anxiety and stress.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that commercially available micronutrient supplements are safe to use as long-term treatments for psychiatric problems. The benefits they provide outweigh the risks observed in the participants. However, the researchers recommend screening for potential medical problems before initiating treatment.

DO THE MATH: Wuhan Region Urgently Adding 100,000 Hospital Beds as Official Chinese Government Claims Outbreak Only Affecting 4,000 People
As The Epoch Times is now reporting , China's Hubei Province, which encompasses the Wuhan region known as "ground zero" for the coronavirus outbreak, is urgently addingeven as the official infection numbers from the Chinese government are barely above 2,900.
"The epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, China’s Hubei Province, is opening up 100,000 hospital beds in an effort to contain the disease, the province’s vice governor announced on Jan. 27," reports The Epoch Times.
This is on the same day that China's official numbers leapt from 2,901 infected to 4,239 infected, an increase of 46% in just one day.
The Chinese government's official numbers cannot be reconciled with the announcement that 100,000 hospital beds are being urgently added to the regional health care infrastructure. If only three to four thousand people are infected, why build 100,000 additional hospital beds and lock down 17 cities?
"Another 24 medical centers will be mobilized to assist with patients who exhibit symptoms and are suspected to have the virus," reports The Epoch Times, which also mentions that infections have now been reported in every Chinese province except Tibet.
Also mentioned in the article is the fact that hospitals in Hubei Province are currently consuming 100,000 protective suits each day, which means at least 100,000 health care workers are active on the scene.
Why would China need 100,000 health care workers to take care of just three or four thousand infected patients?
The numbers don't add up.

It's hard to look at the chart above and not notice the parabolic rise in infections, typical of an out-of-control pandemic that's clearly way beyond containment.

CORONAVIRUS: Is China paying the price for extreme animal cruelty?

As you can see from the animal meat visual presented at this link, the Huanan Wholesale Seafood Market sells not just the usual meats like chicken, pork and beef, but also meat derived from foxes, koalas, dogs, scorpions, snakes and horses. Other reports also say that the meat of wolves, bats, and rats is sold at this market as well.
While the media is mostly focusing on the gross factor associated with eating rodent meat, which can harbor all sorts of infectious diseases, what they're not diving into is the horrific lives that the more sentient animals have to endure before being carved up and consumed by the Chinese.
More than 10 million dogs and four million cats are slaughtered every year in China, and many of these are family pets that unscrupulous Chinese traders steal and force into cages before later slaughtering them and selling their meat.
Reports indicate that many of these dogs and cats have their limbs broken as they're stuffed into these cages, and are transported very long distances without being given any food or water.

If you can even believe it, there's a city in China known as Yulin that holds an annual "Lychee and Dog Meat Festival" to celebrate the eating of dog meat. And, sadly, the number of dogs slaughtered at this event represents just 0.01 percent of the total Chinese dog trade, which occurs all across the country.

In other words, China is lying about how many dogs it's abusing and killing so their meat can be harvested and sold at a premium. It's these and other horrific practices taking place in China that suggest coronavirus might just be the beginning of sorrows for China, so to speak.
Other abused animals sold in China for their meat include civets, which are similar to cats. Civets, along with rats and bats, are considered to be a delicacy throughout China, as well as in other nearby Asian countries.

Biden Crime Family: New book exposes VP’s family as corrupt, including brother who bagged tens of millions in taxpayer loans during Obama regime
For decades since leaving office, Bill and Hillary Clinton were known as the “Clinton Crime Family” for the way they managed to rake in hundreds of millions of dollars in ‘donations’ to their charitable foundation.
But, according to a new book, it appears as though the Clintons have some competition when it comes to allegations of corruption: The Biden Family.
The book by noted investigative journalist Peter Schweizer is titled, “Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite,” is likely the reason why former Vice President Joe Biden is demanding that the “mainstream media” pay no attention to the volume of corruption allegations that have arisen already and are coming.
Only a ‘progressive’ Democrat could get away with making that demand, but then again, the media is little more than a propaganda wing for the DNC.
In any event, as reported by Breitbart, Schweizer writes that Frank Biden, the veep’s younger brother, just happened to have been in a position to profit handsomely from millions in taxpayer-financed loans to Caribbean countries during the Obama presidency.
Notes Breitbart:
Frank Biden first set his sights on the region in 2009, as the Obama administration began to repair the U.S. relationship with Costa Rica. Tensions between the two countries flared under President George W. Bush, most notably on how to deal with drug trafficking.
After Obama snaked his way into the Oval Office, he made it one of his early foreign policy priorities to repair relations in the region as part of an overall push to reign in a new era of global cooperation.
Leading the way was the self-avowed ‘foreign policy expert’ Joe Biden, who did have some ties to the region after leading the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for a number of years. (Related: Bestselling author Peter Schweizer provides details on timeline of Joe and Hunter Biden corruption in Ukraine.)
Shortly after Obama’s inauguration, Frank Biden began scoping out real estate opportunities in Costa Rica. A lawyer by education, he was not deterred by a lack of experience in international development as well as decades’ worth of legal troubles in the United States.
This kind of elitist nepotism is what infuriates ordinary Americans
But despite these handicaps, Schweizer noted that Frank Biden had problems finding business opportunities, especially after his vice president brother paid Costa Rica a visit.
“Just months after Vice President [Joe] Biden’s visit, in August, Costa Rica News announced a new multilateral partnership ‘to reform Real Estate in Latin America’ between Frank Biden, a developer named Craig Williamson, and the Guanacaste Country Club, a newly planned resort,” Schweizer writes in his book, a copy of which was provided to Breitbart.
The project essentially traded a swath of the country’s beautiful landscape for space to build a luxurious resort for wealthy visitors. Frank Biden also envisioned building thousands of homes nestled in the Costa Rican jungles, as well as a world-class golf course, casinos, and an anti-aging center.
And naturally, the government of Costa Rica was eager to cooperate with the brother of the current vice president of the United States.
Frank Biden also partnered with the Costa Rican National Power and Light Company (CNFL) to build a solar power complex in the country’s northwest, which would be used to power his resort. He had no experience in the energy sector.
Fast-forward to 2016, towards the end of Obama's reign. By then, and several taxpayer-funded projects later throughout the Caribbean, Frank Biden’s projects netted him some $54 million in loans, from which he profited greatly — though the only thing he had was his VP brother’s name and bloodline. And each step along the journey, VP Joe was there to pave the way.
“In total, between 2009 and the end of the Obama administration, Frank Biden’s Caribbean projects benefited from more than $54 million in U.S. taxpayer loans,” Breitbart News reported, citing Schweizer’s book.

In a new study published in The Astrophysical Journal , an international team of astronomers found that the Sun is still capable of producing superflares , which are powerful bursts of radiation capable of frying communication lines and triggering large-scale blackouts .

They can also cause widespread disruption and damage to electronic devices similar to electromagnetic pulses or EMPs.
Astronomer Yuta Notsu, a visiting researcher at the University of Colorado, Boulder, said that while superflares are mainly observed in young, active stars, data collected by the Kepler Space Telescope revealed that even middle-aged stars like our Sun are still capable of throwing out “astoundingly powerful” flares.
Notsu, the study’s co-author, said he and his team came up with the conclusion after looking at data gathered by the Kepler Space Telescope over the past 10 years, and then comparing them with data taken from the European Space Agency's Gaia spacecraft and the Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico.
After looking at a sample of about 90,000 stars, the researchers identified 300 stars which, over the course of 500 days, were observed to have produced over 1,000 superflares. After adding data from the Gaia space telescope, the researchers whittled the group down to just 113 stars – all of them Sun-like in terms of size and temperature.
Notsu added that they were able to gauge the power emitted by these stars’ flares by taking note of how fast they spun, noting that younger stars, or those that rotated once every few days, had superflares 20 times more powerful than the ones emitted by slowly spinning stars like the Sun, which rotates about once every 25 days. (Related: NASA says the solar flare that caused a radio blackout last September was the biggest flare in a decade.)
The younger stars were also observed to release superflares at a more frequent rate compared to the much older ones.

A superflare could do even more damage, according to Notsu.

While there is still no way to predict the scale and scope of such an event, Notsu enumerated several problems that could occur should the Sun send a superflare our way within the next century: “We can now expect things such as large-scale blackouts, satellite communication failure, and strong radiation in space.”
The last two, Notsu added, can do serious damage to instruments and astronauts alike. He stressed the need to prepare for what looks to be an inevitable cosmic event, noting that we need to work on protecting our electronics by investing not just in radiation shielding, but also backup systems.

naturalnews--2020-01-27--Scientists find that molecules in pomegranates have incredible anti-aging benefits

( Natural News ) The pomegranate , scientifically known as Punica granatum , is a popular deciduous shrub , thanks to its ruby-red fruit .
Considered among the healthiest fruits around , the pomegranate is packed with polyphenols and antioxidants that help deal with a variety of health problems like high blood pressure and atherosclerosis .
While previous studies have established that eating a pomegranate could help slow down the aging process , a recent study revealed that a particular compound in the fruit could be responsible for its anti-aging benefits .
The paper , which was published in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in-human clinical trial suggesting the supplementation of urothilin A for its anti-aging benefits , mainly due to its influence on mitochondrial and cellular health .
Urothilin A is a natural dietary , microflora-derived metabolite found in pomegranate and other foods .
This metabolite was shown to stimulate mitophagy — the targeted degradation of damaged mitochondria — and improve muscle health in older animals .
“ There are currently no effective solutions to treat age-related decline in muscle function other than months of exercise .
This is an important first clinical validation that shows @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the management of healthy muscle function during aging , ” said Roger Fielding , a professor at Tufts University who was not involved in the study .
Pomegranate , a fruit prized by several civilizations for its large arsenal of health benefits , contains polyphenols called ellagitannins .
When ingested into the body , the polyphenols are converted into urolithin A inside the gut .
There ’ s a catch , however : Not everyone can develop urolithin A on their own , so the researchers synthesized the compound .
Researchers from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics recruited 60 sedentary elderly patients for the study .
They were divided into four groups , with each group receiving either a placebo or urolithin A every day for 18 days total .
The team then assessed the efficacy of urolithin A by observing and analyzing the cellular and mitochondrial health biomarkers in the participants ’ blood and muscle tissue .
The results revealed that urolithin A stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis — the process by which cells increase mitochondrial mass — in the same manner as exercise .

The secret behind pomegranate's anti-aging powers
Pomegranate, a fruit prized by several civilizations for its large arsenal of health benefits, contains polyphenols called ellagitannins. When ingested into the body, the polyphenols are converted into urolithin A inside the gut. There's a catch, however: Not everyone can develop urolithin A on their own, so the researchers synthesized the compound.
Researchers from the life science company Amazentis and the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics recruited 60 sedentary elderly patients for the study. They were divided into four groups, with each group receiving either a placebo or urolithin A every day for 18 days total. The team then assessed the efficacy of urolithin A by observing and analyzing the cellular and mitochondrial health biomarkers in the participants' blood and muscle tissue.
The results revealed that urolithin A stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis — the process by which cells increase mitochondrial mass — in the same manner as exercise. According to the researchers, urolithin A is the only known compound that is able to re-establish the cells' ability to recycle defective mitochondria.

However, as a person ages, his body starts to lose the energy to clean up the leftover dysfunctional mitochondria, which could eventually lead to the weakening of tissues and sarcopenia — the loss of muscle mass. (Related: Easily boost your immune system by eating more pomegranates, study concludes.)
Urolithin A, the researchers concluded, can provide anti-aging effects by improving the functions of the mitochondria.
“This positive clinical translation of Urolithin A shows its potential to play an important role in advanced nutritional approaches to improve mitochondrial health through mitophagy and biogenesis, and, as a result, cellular health in humans,” said co-author Johan Auwerx. “These latest findings, which build on previous preclinical trials, really crystallize how UA could be a game-changer for human health.”

Fresh, organic food at your fingertips: 7 Tips for shopping at a farmers market
A farmers market is a place where farmers sell their produce directly to consumers. Today, farmers markets have expanded to incorporate not only fruits and vegetables, but also a variety of other items like artisan crafts and original art. Some even have local musicians and even theater troupes – making these farmers markets into a grand event for all to enjoy
However, the true essence of any farmers market is to build connections with your community and support small, local businesses, while cutting out the middlemen like supermarkets. In addition, these markets also give you the easiest access to a wide selection of guaranteed organic produce, straight from the people who grew them, granting you some of the healthiest food options around.
Tips and tricks of the trade
Now that you understand what a farmers market can bring, here are seven tips that can help you make the most out of your shopping expedition.
Bring cash. In many farmers markets nowadays, vendors have started to take credit and debit card payments for their produce. However, there are still quite a lot of the vendors that only accept cash, so its important to have some on hand. It is also recommended to bring smaller bills, or even provide exact change as some vendors might not be able to break larger bills. Talk to the farmers. There's no better person to talk to about the produce you're buying than the very same one who grew it. These farmers and other vendors know their products by heart and are usually more than happy to tell you about their wares and answer any questions you may have. This will also come in handy when dealing with exotic products or unorthodox foods as the vendors are more likely to know how to prepare them. (Related: 4 important questions to ask vendors at your local farmer's market.) Timing is everything. The saying "the early bird gets the worm" may not always apply with farmers markets. Showing up early can help you avoid the crowds and get first pick at the inventory of more popular vendors. However, arriving late in the day can net you a really good bargain as many vendors may want to move inventory at closing time. Try before you buy. Vendors at farmers markets often offer free samples of their products. If you're unfamiliar with certain products or if multiple people are selling the same type of produce, it might be best to try them all out before making a decision. Bring your own containers. While some farmers can provide you with a bag or container to put your purchases in, it's often better to bring your own reusable bags, especially if you plan on buying a lot of items. In addition, bringing your own bags can reduce the waste you would have produced if you used disposable bags. Take a good look around and hunt for the best deals. Many people find it easier to just head to the nearest or most popular stall and buy all they need from there. However, they may be missing out on some great deals, unless they take the time to look around. Prices in farmers markets can vary from farmer to farmer, so it's best to check everything out first before going on a spending spree. Simply enjoy the experience. There is absolutely no need to rush through anything as farmers markets are events meant to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace. These types of events are the perfect opportunity to develop a closer connection with your community and enjoy the sights, sounds and tastes all around you.
