▶ The Science of Climate Change – A Conversation with Dr. Patrick Moore – YouTube
Published on Sep 26, 2014
Why has there been an emphasis on the last hundred years when people speak about climate change? What are the untold benefits of increased CO2 levels? Is it true that there is a near scientific consensus on Climate Change? What are some examples of Climate Change advocate hypocrisy? Why did Dr. Patrick Moore leave Greenpeace? What does the science say about genetically modified organism GMO such as golden rice?
Stefan Molyneux speaks with one of the founding members of Greenpeace, Dr. Patrick Moore. For more information on Dr. Moore, please go to: http://www.ecosense.me

Ditch the Dairy: No Milk Mustache for the Quaker Oats Man! – Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
Tell Quaker Oats to Ditch the Dairy!
Bad news for the Quaker Oats man: He’s getting a milk mustache this October. Quaker is launching a campaign urging you to douse oatmeal’s disease-fighting benefits with dairy milk, which is loaded with cholesterol, saturated fat, and sugar. MilkPEP, a milk promotion program funded by the dairy industry, is behind the promotion. But you can urge Quaker to save face—and its customers’ health—by ditching the dairy. Dairy is the top source of saturated fat in the American diet and exacerbates America’s No. 1 killer: heart disease. Milk also increases the risk of prostate, ovarian, and other cancers. And it causes cramping, diarrhea, and bloating for the 65 percent of the population who are lactose intolerant. Swapping whole milk for 2% won’t lessen the nutritional impact either. Skim and nonfat milks are not much better than the full fat variety. Most of their calories come from sugar—lactose—which is why they pack about as many calories as a typical soda. But Quaker Oats recipes can be easily made with plant-based milks that—unlike dairy products—are cholesterol-free and don’t contribute to heart disease, cancer, or digestive issues. Please take a minute to sign our petition below. Let Quaker Oats know that dairy-free is the healthiest way to be!

Top 10 Causes of Death in the USA–It May Surprise You!
According to the American Academy of Pain Medicine AAPM pain affects more Americans than diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined. Why are so many people in pain? We had planned to answer this question in today’s blog but as we began to do the research another story emerged. Most people are aware that the two big “killers” in the US are heart disease and cancer. And, it is true, both of these diseases cause a lot of suffering for many. But, most people aren’t aware of what is likely the 3rd leading cause of death.Would you believe it’s not strokes, auto accidents or even diabetes?

Drive Away Diabetes with Community-Based Food for Life Classes | Dr. Barnard’s Blog
In my work as a diabetes researcher, I’ve learned two important lessons about type 2 diabetes: First, it does not have to be a one-way street—it can get better and sometimes even disappear. Second, to successfully turn around the disease, it pays to have support—from family, friends, or a class.For the past few months, the Physicians Committee has been hosting free five-week-long series of Food for Life diabetes workshops for Washington, D.C.-area residents hoping to manage type 2 diabetes by adopting a healthful, plant-based diet. Since starting in February, the program has put more than 200 people on the path toward improved health.
