| 1 in 88 Children in the U.S. Now Have Autism...Or Is This The "New Math?"
May 16, 2012 | Vaccines | S.Tzorfas
The Center for Disease Control recently announced that 1 in 88 children in the United States now have Autism. Many were shocked at the escalation of Autism in the last few years, but some of us were shocked at the number. It seems inadequate to make this claim. The issue is that this number was based on children who were born in the year 2000 and were looked at in the year 2008. It was based on children who were eight years old in 2008 and it was handed to us as a “new” and latest finding in the spring of 2012. Therefore it was four years old by the time they released the information.

There are some things in life not worth keeping. Letting go of negative qualities which dominate your ego will only lead to a greater sense of self and happiness.

According To Doctors, New Born Babies Have Only Felt Pain In The Last 30 Years
May 14, 2012 | JunkScience | D.Mihalovic
Sounds ridiculous doesn't it? Read the title again. How could babies not feel pain? Your first impression may interpret the statement as absurd or illogical. Well that is precisely how conventional medical misinformation was spread (and is spread) throughout scientific literature to promote fiction as fact. Doctors only started accepting the idea that babies experienced pain from vaccine injections and circumcision in the 1980's. Before that, medical wisdom had somehow managed to promote the myth of painless babies to allopathic practitioners worldwide. In fact, newborns underwent many routine surgeries without anesthetic before the 1980's because of this misrepresented belief.

U.S. is the Fattest Country In The World: The Top Food Offenders That Make Us Fat
May 13, 2012 | YourWeight | J.Summerly
Well, at least in terms of very developed nations with larger populations. The evidence is all around us and a even brief public outing will confirm it. We are one fat country. We love to eat and all the wrong foods. The problem is more related to what we eat rather than how much we eat. The culprits are not always so obvious either. Gone are the days when it was only fast food that would add to our waistline. Today it's everyday foods that are suspect.
