\n Sugary soft drinks linked to pancreatic cancer
\n(NaturalNews) A 14-year study of 60,000 people in Singapore found that those who consume two or more sweetened soft drinks per week have an 87 percent higher risk of pancreatic cancer.
Published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention, the study was led by Mark Pereira of the University of Minnesota who said, \"The high levels of sugar in soft drinks may be increasing the level of insulin in the body, which we think contributes to pancreatic cancer cell growth.\"
Nearly 38,000 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the United States each year, and over 34,000 die from the disease each year. This research points to what may be the common culprit of all those preventable deaths: Sugary soft drink consumption.
Poison in a can
NaturalNews has warned readers for years about the dangers of consuming soft drinks. The sweetener used in most beverages -- high-fructose corn syrup -- is linked to both diabetes and obesity. The phosphoric acid found in soft drinks is highly acidic, stripping minerals from bones and promoting osteoporosis. At the same time, soft drinks can cause kidney stones, too.
For those who consume diet sodas, the health risks may be even worse: Aspartame causes neurological side effects that include blindness, headaches and impaired cognitive function.
The beverage industry, of course, denies any links between soda consumption and negative health effects. It wants consumers to naively believe that liquid sugar, phosphoric acid and pressurized carbon dioxide are all good for you!
But experience tells us otherwise: Look at the people you know who consume the most soft drinks and ask yourself this simple question: Are they the healthiest people I know? Probably not.
Most likely, if they've been drinking sodas for many years, they're suffering from obesity, diabetes, kidney stones and perhaps even pancreatic cancer.

\n The amazing new Hurom Slow Juicer will revolutionize the way you make fresh juice
\n(NaturalNews) The last juicer I recommended was the Breville juicer. I own two of them, and they are top-of-the-line juicing appliances that can transform fresh fruits and vegetables into healing, nutrient-rich juices right from your kitchen counter. But today, I have incredible news for you about a truly revolutionary new juicer that now takes first place at the top of my recommendations list. This juicer isn't a centrifugal juicer with a blade that shreds your vegetables; it's a whole new category of juicing technology. And it offers significant advantages that make this a must-have appliance for your kitchen.
Here's why...
The problem with centrifugal juicers
\nCentrifugal juicers actually \"shred\" your food to separate pulp from juice. The fast-spinning basket allows juice to escape the basket while pulp is flung into the pulp holding bin. This has been the status quo of consumer-class juicing for roughly a decade.
Centrifugal juicing is fine -- and I've been using it for years -- but it does have its problems. It tends to waste a lot of juice that's still left in the fruit and vegetable fibers. This means you have to push a lot of veggies through the machine to get a relatively small amount of juice.
The shredding action also cuts your food into thousands of tiny pieces and exposes them to oxidation. Many nutritionists believe this causes a rapid loss in the nutritional quality of the juice. The shredding action may also physically damage some phytonutrients, reducing the nutritional potency of the juice you get. (Personally, I've always wondered how much of the nutrition is lost during this process...)
The problem with masticating / twin-gear juicers
\nTwin-gear (masticating) juicers produce far better quality juice than centrifugal juicers. They slowly squeeze wheat grass, sprouts or other fruits and vegetables through a single-gear or twin-gear process that extracts more juice than centrifugal juicers.
That's why most \"hard core\" vegans and juicers have been using twin-gear juicers for several years. The problem with these machines, at least in my experience, is that they are very slow at making juice and they take a long time to disassemble, clean and reassemble. They're also extremely heavy and quite expensive compared to centrifugal juicers.
I owned a twin-gear juicer for years that just sat in my kitchen cupboard because I got tired of messing with all the assembly and cleaning tasks. Centrifugal juicers were so much faster and easier to clean!

Introducing \"slow juice\" from the Hurom Slow Juicer
\nNow a new, breakthrough juicing appliance overcomes all the shortcomings of both centrifugal juicers and masticating juicers. The Hurom slow juicer is a truly remarkable machine that takes a quantum leap forward in juicing technology. This machine is simply amazing -- and it has already become a permanent appliance in my own kitchen.
You can order this revolutionary juicer right now from the NaturalNews Store - click HERE.
You won't find a lower price advertised anywhere, and we give you FREE shipping on this juicer! (Continental USA only. Shipping rates apply to other destinations.)
The machine produces juice FASTER than a centrifugal juicer, yet it doesn't have any fast-moving parts: No centrifugal basket, no shredding your fruits and veggies, and no loud noise. I love making juice with this appliance!
It's lighter and less expensive than twin-gear juicers, and yet it produces just as much juice as they do! Plus, it's super versatile because it can make almond milk, soy milk, sesame milk or even rice milk, too!
The secret is the \"slow juice\" technology developed by the Hurom company. This technology uses \"triturating\" technology that \"rubs\" the juice out of fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. It uses only a single spiral gear, not twin gears, and the simplicity and cleverness of the design make it an upright appliance on your countertop -- so it looks like a centrifugal juicer, but it functions in a whole new way.

I absolutely LOVE this juicer!
\nMy experience with the Hurom Slow Juicer has been extremely positive. It really is \"revolutionary.\" The first time I made juice with it, I could see the difference immediately: It was truly an eye-opening experience.
I've been using the machine for a while now, and I've come to find that it has twelve key benefits I'd like to share with you from my own personal experience:
Benefit #1: MORE juice from the same veggies means lower juicing costs
\nBecause the Hurom Slow Juicer is a far more efficient extraction technology than you'll find in centrifugal juicers, you get more juice out of the same quantity of fruits and vegetables.
This means total lower juicing costs because you'll use a smaller quantity of fresh produce to make the same quantity of juice! Given the high price of organic fruits and vegetables, this means the Hurom Slow Juicer can pay for itself in savings on fresh produce.
Really, you'll see the difference the very first time you juice with the Hurom Slow Juicer.
Benefit #2: LESS oxidation of your juice means MORE nutrition
\nThe Hurom Slow Juicer doesn't \"shred\" your juice with fast-spinning blades. This prevents oxidation of your juice -- the chemical process that causes air to react with the juice and deplete its valuable nutrients.
The fresh juice extracted by the Hurom Slow Juicer is the most nutritionally potent juice you can make at home. The more you're aware of the amazing healing qualities of fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, the more you'll appreciate Hurom's \"trituration\" technology that protects juice from oxidation.
Benefit #3: FASTER juice production makes juicing more convenient
\nThe Hurom Slow Juicer isn't actually \"slow\" to produce juice. In terms of the ounces of juice you get per minute, it's just as fast (or faster) than using a centrifugal juicer!
This makes it a whole lot faster than typical twin-gear juicers, so you can produce juice for yourself or even the whole family in mere minutes. You'll love the time savings you'll experience with this juicer.
Benefit #4: SLOW juicing gears makes juicing safer for families and children
\nThe Hurom Slow Juicer has no dangerous, fast-spinning parts like whirling blades or metal baskets. The motor turns slowly and steadily, producing a surprisingly large amount of juice from a very slow rotation -- hence the name \"slow juicer.\"
You'll be amazed at how much juice this machine extracts even with such a seemingly \"slow\" motion! And because it's safe and quiet, you can get the children involved in the fun of making their own juice. They can actually watch the juice being separated from the pulp. It's fun to watch this juicer work!
Benefit #5: It makes NUT MILKS, too!
\nThis is so cool... I've been using my Hurom Slow Juicer to make fresh raw almond milk. It's amazing! I just soak the almonds for 8 hours, rinse them, then chuck them into the Hurom juicer with some water.
The fresh almond milk pours out! And there's no mess: No nut milk bags, no cooking, no straining and no complications. Put almonds in and you get almond milk out -- almost instantly! This alone makes the machine worth every dollar (in my opinion, anyway, because I drink a lot of almond milk).
You can also use the Hurom Slow Juicer to make soy milk, sesame milk or even oat milk or rice milk! It's a milk-making machine at the same time it's a world-class juicer.
Benefit #6: LESS noise keeps your kitchen peaceful and quiet
\nCentrifugal juicers are loud. The grinding and shredding noises can be disturbing to a peaceful kitchen, and they can even wake up sleeping family members if you juice in the morning.
But the Hurom Slow Juicer is so quiet it might be called a \"silent juicer.\" It makes no more noise than a bread mixer and far less noise than a blender or a typical juicer.
Benefit #7: LESS waste is more ecological, too
\nThe fact that the Hurom Slow Juicer makes more juice from less fresh produce isn't just good for your pocketbook -- it's also good for the planet!
Why? Because producing fruits and vegetables requires energy and effort. Transporting those foods also requires fossil fuels. The more nutrients you can extract from the same fixed amount of fresh produce, the lower your use of limited natural resources.
Efficient juicing is eco-juicing -- it's good for you and good for the planet at the same time.
Benefit #8: The juice TASTES better!
\nI don't yet know why -- perhaps it has something to do with the lack of oxidation -- but the juice extracted by the Hurom Slow Juicer is super delicious!
Everybody tells me much the same thing: \"Wow! This juice tastes better than the juice you usually make. What's the difference?\" The only difference is that I'm now using the Hurom Slow Juicer instead of the centrifugal juicer I previously preferred. Try it yourself: I believe you'll really taste the difference!
Benefit #9: No FOAM
\nAre you tired of the \"juice foam\" produced by centrifugal juicers? That foam is a result of the high-speed mixing of the juice with air. It's a side effect of centrifugal juicing.
The Hurom juicer produces virtually no foam! What you get is pure, liquid juice. There's virtually no foam and no oxidation. It's simply the juice you expect to get from a high-end juicing machine.
Benefit #10: EASY to clean!
\nIf you're like me, time is tight. We want to prepare our juice as efficiently as possible and get on with the day. But part of the task involves cleaning the juicer.
You'll be happy to learn that the Hurom Slow Juicer isn't slow when it comes to cleaning: It's blazing fast! It rinses easily and cleans up in the same time as a typical centrifugal juicer. Plus, you don't have the scrub the basket to remove the pulp...
Benefit #11: It's lighter and more PORTABLE than other juicers
\nThis is the really cool part about the Hurom Slow Juicer: It's light enough that you can take it with you!
Bring it to a friend's house or a party... show your friends this amazing new juicing technology and let them taste the difference themselves!
The Hurom Slow Juicer weighs roughly the same as a regular centrifugal juicer, meaning it's a lot lighter than the typical twin-gear juicers. You can even put it in a suitcase and take it with you on a trip -- use it in a hotel! (It's the only real way to get truly healthy food while traveling anywhere...)
Benefit #12: It comes with a 10-year motor warranty!
\nThe Hurom Slow Juicer is built to last, and that's backed by a two-year warranty on the entire unit, plus a ten year warranty on the motor. If anything goes wrong with the juicer within the first two years, replacement (or repair) is fully guaranteed (you'll need to cover shipping your unit to the replacement center in the continental USA, if repair work is needed).
You're also backed by our 90-day satisfaction guarantee. If for any reason you don't like the Hurom Slow Juicer, just return it to our store for a full refund (less shipping and handling) at any time during the first three months. Your satisfaction is guaranteed or your money back!

Why I've switched to the Hurom Slow Juicer
\nI have completely converted my kitchen to the Hurom Slow Juicer. I previously used the Breville centrifugal juicer, and I still highly recommend that machine. Breville is a very high-quality manufacturer of outstanding machines. I still love my Breville!
But this Hurom Slow Juicer takes juice to a whole new level. It's as fast and easy as using the Breville, but it's quieter, it produces more juice, with less foam, and it's actually less expensive than the high-end Breville juicer that I've been recommending (the Juice Fountain Elite).
There are two disadvantages to the Hurom Slow Juicer vs. the Breville, however: The Hurom juicer has a smaller feed chute so you may need to slice fruits and vegetables into smaller pieces before feeding them in. The other disadvantage is that the Hurom juicer isn't made of stainless steel, whereas the Breville Juice Fountain Elite has mostly stainless steel parts (it's a really solid machine).
Despite these two disadvantages, I still prefer the Hurom because it makes BETTER juice, and it makes MORE juice! And that's the bottom line for me: I want to get the most juice out of the produce I'm juicing, and I want the nutritional quality of the juice to be at its maximum.

\n \n
\n (NaturalNews) In late January, the New York Times published a startling and groundbreaking series of reports by investigative reporter Walt Bogdanich who has uncovered case after case of people who suffered devastating consequences -- including horrendously painful, torture-like deaths -- because of medical mistakes related to radiation treatment. In response to these articles, the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) just issued a statement saying the group and its members \"deeply regret that these events have occurred, and we continue to work hard to reduce the likelihood of similar events in the future.\"
Nowhere in the statement does the AAPM acknowledge specifically what events they are talking about -- and they do not even mention the almost incomprehensible human suffering connected to these unnamed \"events\". Instead, the AAPM is clearly most interested in pacifying the public so they won't be worried about the dangers associated with medical radiation.
As the statement puts it, the AAPM \"seeks to reassure the public on the safety of radiation therapy, which is safely and effectively used to treat hundreds of thousands of people with cancer and other diseases every year in the United States. Medical physicists in hospitals and clinics across the United States are board-certified professionals who play a key role in assuring quality during these treatments.\"
That reassurance is likely to mean little to the friends and relatives of people killed by medical radiation. No doubt, these patients were assured before their treatment began that their radiation was state-of-the-art western medicine, delivered by highly trained medical professionals.
Horrifying deaths caused by \"medical\" radiation
For example, Bogdanich reported on the heartbreaking tale of Scott Jerome-Parks who was literally irradiated to death. While he was being treated for tongue cancer, staff in a New York City hospital didn't notice a computer error was directing a linear accelerator to zap Jerome-Parks' brain stem and neck with off-target beams of high-dose radiation on three consecutive days.
He was left deaf, almost blind, burned, and unable to swallow. His teeth fell out among the ulcers lacing his mouth and throat. He died, in excruciating pain, weeks after his radiation \"treatment\" at the age of 43.
The very day a warning was issued to other hospitals to be more careful with radiation, Bogdanich pointed out in his report, at the State University of New York Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn a 32-year-old woman with breast cancer was subjected to a huge radiation overdose -- three times the prescribed amount. And it didn't stop there. This intense irradiation of her body went on for 27 days until it burned a hideous, open hole into her chest. The young mother of two young children suffered horrendous pain and then died a month after Jerome-Parks.
Unfortunately, anyone who is assured by the AAPM's public relations statement about the intrinsic safety of medical radiation is simply not well informed. One worrisome concern is the fact Americans are being exposed to cancer-causing radiation in huge numbers -- the average lifetime dose of diagnostic radiation Americans receive has gone up 600 percent in the last three decades (http://www.naturalnews.com/025767_cancer_NaturalNews_X-rays.html). In addition, when safety rules are overlooked or the incredibly complex and high powered 21st century radiation devices have a glitch, the consequences clearly can be disastrous.
And while the AAPM may want patients to think mistakes involving medical radiation are so rare as to be nothing to worry about, the fact is more and more of these tragedies have been reported over the past few years. For example, NaturalNews has previously reported on the death of a teenager who received a massive overdose of radiation (http://www.naturalnews.com/020824_cancer_cancer_treatments_oncology.html) and how patients receiving CT brain scans at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles unknowingly received large overdoses of radiation over a course of 18 months (http://www.naturalnews.com/027541_radiation_medical_imaging.html).\n \nFor more information:\nhttp://www.naturalnews.com/radiation_treatment.html\nhttp://www.aapm.org/publicgeneral/QualityRadiationTherapy.asp
\n \n Nowhere in the statement does the AAPM acknowledge specifically what events they are talking about -- and they do not even mention the almost incomprehensible human suffering connected to these unnamed \"events\". Instead, the AAPM is clearly most interested in pacifying the public so they won't be worried about the dangers associated with medical radiation.
As the statement puts it, the AAPM \"seeks to reassure the public on the safety of radiation therapy, which is safely and effectively used to treat hundreds of thousands of people with cancer and other diseases every year in the United States. Medical physicists in hospitals and clinics across the United States are board-certified professionals who play a key role in assuring quality during these treatments.\"
That reassurance is likely to mean little to the friends and relatives of people killed by medical radiation. No doubt, these patients were assured before their treatment began that their radiation was state-of-the-art western medicine, delivered by highly trained medical professionals.
Horrifying deaths caused by \"medical\" radiation
For example, Bogdanich reported on the heartbreaking tale of Scott Jerome-Parks who was literally irradiated to death. While he was being treated for tongue cancer, staff in a New York City hospital didn't notice a computer error was directing a linear accelerator to zap Jerome-Parks' brain stem and neck with off-target beams of high-dose radiation on three consecutive days.
He was left deaf, almost blind, burned, and unable to swallow. His teeth fell out among the ulcers lacing his mouth and throat. He died, in excruciating pain, weeks after his radiation \"treatment\" at the age of 43.
The very day a warning was issued to other hospitals to be more careful with radiation, Bogdanich pointed out in his report, at the State University of New York Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn a 32-year-old woman with breast cancer was subjected to a huge radiation overdose -- three times the prescribed amount. And it didn't stop there. This intense irradiation of her body went on for 27 days until it burned a hideous, open hole into her chest. The young mother of two young children suffered horrendous pain and then died a month after Jerome-Parks.
Unfortunately, anyone who is assured by the AAPM's public relations statement about the intrinsic safety of medical radiation is simply not well informed. One worrisome concern is the fact Americans are being exposed to cancer-causing radiation in huge numbers -- the average lifetime dose of diagnostic radiation Americans receive has gone up 600 percent in the last three decades (http://www.naturalnews.com/025767_cancer_NaturalNews_X-rays.html). In addition, when safety rules are overlooked or the incredibly complex and high powered 21st century radiation devices have a glitch, the consequences clearly can be disastrous.
And while the AAPM may want patients to think mistakes involving medical radiation are so rare as to be nothing to worry about, the fact is more and more of these tragedies have been reported over the past few years. For example, NaturalNews has previously reported on the death of a teenager who received a massive overdose of radiation (http://www.naturalnews.com/020824_cancer_cancer_treatments_oncology.html) and how patients receiving CT brain scans at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles unknowingly received large overdoses of radiation over a course of 18 months (http://www.naturalnews.com/027541_radiation_medical_imaging.html).\n \nFor more information:\nhttp://www.naturalnews.com/radiation_treatment.html\nhttp://www.aapm.org/publicgeneral/QualityRadiationTherapy.asp
