The average reduction ranged from 25% to 30% and rose to 43% after the researchers excluded participants who did not perfectly comply with an all-organic diet.

Read MoreThe idea that pathogens will jump species and kill humans is a useful scare tactic, and it’s now being pushed like never before under One Health — a global agenda that will allow unelected bureaucrats at the World Health Organization (WHO) to centralize power and make decisions relating to diet, agriculture and livestock farming, environmental pollution, movement of populations, health care and much more, for the entire world.
A report from Harvard Law School and New York University predicts the next pandemic is likely to emerge from the U.S. meat supply — or the fur trade, or a petting zoo, or from pets.

Read MoreFewer than a third of Canadians have “high trust” in the federal government, says in-house research by the Public Health Agency. Only “large media organizations” and celebrities scored lower on a trust scale.
“Trust, particularly in the government and health care sector, is central to the effectiveness of public health measures,” said an Agency report. “While respondents have a lot of trust in hospitals and health care workers, trust in the federal government (e.g. the Public Health Agency) is much lower.”

Read MoreCanadians oppose cabinet’s “safe supply” drug policy, says in-house Privy Council research. The experimental decriminalization of opioids, cocaine and other narcotics for personal use in British Columbia only led to more drug addiction, said federal focus groups.
“Participants were mostly negative in their reaction to this decision and believed the federal government should instead be focused on discouraging opioid use including implementing greater penalties for those using and distributing these substances,” said a Privy Council report Continuous Qualitative Data Collection Of Canadians’ Views.
