With obesity rates still rising, the hunt is on for ways to combat the negative effects of a high fat diet. Researchers now believe they have discovered a possible answer—probiotic supplementation. Robin Couch and Allyson Dailey partnered with the U.S.D.A. to explore the influence of probiotic supplementation on a higher fat diet, using pigs as model organisms. The research team looked at four groups of pigs—two groups that were fed nutritionally balanced diets with and without probiotic supplementation, and two groups that were fed higher fat diets with and without probiotic supplementation. The probiotic that was tested is known as...

A retired CIA leader coordinated a letter from former intelligence chiefs claiming that Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation because he wanted to help Joe Biden's presidential campaign. Mike Morell told the House Judiciary Committee that he was asked by Antony Blinken, the Secretary of State - who at the time was a senior member of the Biden campaign - to help discredit the laptop reporting. Morell was a former acting CIA director, serving for two months in 2011 and four months from 2012 to 2013. He retired from the CIA in September 2013. The House Judiciary Committee, led by...

Those raising evidence-based concerns about the adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccines are often labeled purveyors of misinformation, and derided as anti-scientific conspiracy theorists and paranoid kooks. Or worse. Bill Kristol tweeted in late 2021 that, “there is blood on the hands in 2021 of the unvaccinated and especially their enablers and encouragers who know better.” However, there are a number of prominent scientists, doctors, and independent researchers who are wary of both COVID infection and the vaccines. Many of these figures are worried about one particular piece of the SARS-CoV-2 virus: the spike protein, which allows the virus to enter...

Woke healthcare social-justice warriors seeking to end systemic racism by supposedly dismantling white supremacy in medicine have now implemented new policies that have made race and skin color a deciding factor in who can receive life-saving kidney transplants. The Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) and the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) are the latest of numerous medical associations to embrace the idea that medicine is overflowing with racism and inequity. Their new policy on kidney transplants, according to City Journal, “is perhaps the most dangerous victory for wokeness in health care to date.” “In the name of ‘equity,’...

Whistleblower Reveals What is Behind the Mass Attacks on US Food Facilities (Video) In the United States, dozens of food processing plants suspiciously caught fire over the past year. Remarkably, no one was present at the time of the fires. The Eco Health Alliance whistleblower, bioterrorism expert, military veteran, and scientist Dr. Andrew Huff has a possible explanation for the food supply fires. Huff has access to government information about simulating a food supply attack. The information comes from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Food and Agriculture Sector Criticality Assessment Tool (FASCAT). This also includes which places are particularly...

No other injuries to employees...

MIT neuroscientists have discovered a method to reverse neurodegeneration and other Alzheimer’s disease symptoms by blocking an overactive enzyme, CDK5, in patients’ brains. Treating mice with a peptide inhibitor, they observed significant reductions in neurodegeneration, DNA damage, and improved cognitive abilities. The peptide has the potential to be used as a treatment for Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia with CDK5 overactivation, without interfering with essential, structurally similar enzymes. The peptide blocks a hyperactive brain enzyme that contributes to the neurodegeneration seen in Alzheimer’s and other diseases. MIT neuroscientists have found a way to reverse neurodegeneration and other symptoms of...

Experts recommend reducing consumption of added ("free") sugars to around six teaspoons a day and limiting sugar-sweetened drinks to less than one serving a week after a comprehensive evidence review. They found significant harmful associations between sugar consumption and 45 outcomes, including asthma, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, depression, some cancers and death. It's widely known that excessive sugar intake can have negative effects on health, and this has prompted the World Health Organization (WHO) and others to suggest reducing consumption of free or added sugars to less than 10% of total daily energy intake. Researchers therefore carried out an umbrella...

Former President Donald Trump has dubbed his 2024 campaign as the "final battle" for the country's democracy, and bestselling author David Horowitz, whose book "Final Battle: The Next Election May Be the Last," tells Newsmax that the charges against Trump show how the Democrats are endangering the nation's democracy. Horowitz, appearing Tuesday on "The Chris Salcedo Show" on Newsmax, noted that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, as part of his claims against Trump, accused the former president of election interference, but he has not shown that. Important: Trump's 'Final Battle' refers to David Horowitz's new book exposing the dangers he...

If the other substantive weaknesses in the politically constructed Manhattan case against Donald Trump do not lead to a pre-trial dismissal, this one should collapse it.The Commissioner of the Federal Election Commission (FEC) explicitly states the payments by President Trump to Stormy Daniels are not an election campaign violation.WASHINGTON DC – A key member of the Federal Election Commission today rejected the Manhattan district attorney’s indictment of former President Donald Trump as a violation of federal election laws.“It’s not a campaign finance violation.

The “fact-checkers” claim there are no mRNA vaccines for cows and other livestock. These “fact-checkers” also claimed the Covid-19 vaccines were 100% safe and effective.Now, many states are moving to allow mRNA injections into cattle for various reasons. One does not have to be an “anti-vaxxer” to appreciate the risks inherent with introducing experimental drugs into the food supply. And despite protestations from the “fact-checkers,” the new mRNA jabs for cattle may be introduced into some herds this month (though DEFINITELY not ours).

I understand Tennessee stores sell ivermectin over the counter. Can anyone provide a link to a Tennessee drug store where I can purchase U.S. manufactured ivermectin online without a prescription and have it shipped to my home state?

You were probably not alone if the news of Donald Trump’s indictment seemed slightly strange: How could something so big — the first criminal indictment of an American president — seem so small? Mr. Trump was not indicted for his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election or for engaging in egregious financial fraud to increase his wealth or even for allegedly obstructing the special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, which many once thought was the best avenue prosecutors had to ensnare the former president. Instead, the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, and his team of...

It has become abundantly clear that Democrats and other leftists share nothing in common with the rest of America. They do not even share the same language. The following is a list of words, and non-words, and terminology the left uses. Some on the list may seem innocuous, but the reality is the left has completely different definitions. The list contains the language of all the frauds the left perpetrate, from climate change to sexual perversions. This is the language used by groomer teachers, the media, large corporations, the entertainment industry, politicians, judges and justices, activists, and everyday Democrats.It is...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — New York law enforcement won't be releasing as many mugshots from now on. A new law requires that many mugshots be withheld from public distribution. This comes after third party websites take and post the pictures online and then demand money if the person in the photo wants it to be taken down. One possible exception to the rule will be when releasing the photo is important for public safety. "Effective immediately, New York State Police will not include mugshots in press releases, and they will not be provided to media when requested. This is due to...
