Mike Adams
denialism | October 10, 2007The latest crankery from Adams is the evil male-chauvinist conspiracy to perpetuate breast cancer for fun and profit being led by none other than those dastardly villains of the American Cancer Society. With his stunning report and links to the thinkbeforeyoupink campaign, he rails against the ribbons that are a "symbol of male-dominated control over women", and exposes the insidious lies of those who spend their lives looking for cures for this deadly disease.
In this report, you'll learn how the cancer industry -- which is dominated by powerful men -- uses the same tactics today to…

Today, NewsTarget announces a grassroots action campaign to demand retractions, corrections or clarifications from major…

This time, they caught my eye with a surprising read of this large study of the antioxidant vitamins C and E. Jack Challem, writing for Newstarget, tells us the good, but hidden, news from this study.
When Cook and her colleagues analyzed data from people who consistently took their supplements, they found these specific benefits:
Vitamin E led to a 22 percent reduction in the risk of heart attack.
Vitamin E led to a 27 percent less risk of stroke.
Vitamin E led to a 9 percent lower…
