Thousands of studies spanning many decades show excess sugar damages your health, 1 yet the sugar industry successfully buried the evidence and misdirected the public with manipulated science.
According to the sugar industry, sugar is a harmless source of energy and may even be an important part of a healthy "balanced" diet.
Dr Cristin Kearns, a dentist and fellow at the University of California, made headlines when she published a paper 2 detailing the sugar industry's historical influence on dietary recommendations. Evidence also shows how the sugar industry influenced the scientific agenda of the National Institute of Dental Research (now the National
Institute of Dental and Cranial Research), which back in 1971 created a national caries program, downplaying any links between sugar consumption and dental caries. 3
The documentary, Sugar Coated—which features Kearns, investigative journalist Gary Taubes, author of The Case Against Sugar, and Dr Robert Lustig, a leading expert on sugar metabolism and obesity—investigates the sugar industry's once-secret PR campaign, showing how it normalised excessive consumption by deflecting evidence implicating sugar as a cause of ill health. As noted in the film's summary: 4
"In order to continue sweetening the world's food supply, thus securing continued profits, the sugar industry turned to the very same deceptions and tactics lifted from the tobacco industry. Using big sugar's own internal documents on this strategy, Sugar Coated reveals the well-oiled tricks of the trade to confuse the public about what is really driving the global pandemic of obesity, diabetes and heart disease."

Your body is crying out for...dirt
The idea of eating dirt isn't new. It's been around a long time, dating back more than 2,500 years. Hunters and gatherers couldn't avoid it, and regardless of culture, there's evidence people have included traces of dirt in their diets throughout the ages.

Biological Transmutations
Over the past two centuries a large number of experiments with animals, seeds and bacteria have demonstrated that biology is not only a chemical process, but also a nuclear one. It has been demonstrated that some minerals transmute into other minerals. With the development of lowenergy nuclear reactions (cold fusion), this topic is back in the scientific agenda. Very few scientists work in this field, but its importance is such that its further development is crucial.
