Are You Fed Up with American Food?

From the Oscar winning producer of An Inconvenient Truth comes a new film on the American health crisis caused by low quality food production and deceptive marketing. “Everything we’ve been told about food and exercise for the past 30 years is dead wrong,” the film warns, backing this claim with documented testimony from some of the nation’s leading health experts and research institutions. Fed Up shines a light on the misleading and dangerous practices employed by some of the biggest names in the American food and beverage industry, encouraging viewers to re-evaluate the diet Americans have grown so accustomed to over the past 3 decades. The film debuted in theaters May 9th and featured former president Bill Clinton, former FDA commissioner David A. Kessler, and activist Michael Pollan.

Assure A Smile Raises Awareness for Children's Oral Health Needs

In the short run, high rates of tooth decay can lead to gum disease, infection, and gingivitis. Long term, however, the bacteria that causes gum disease has been found to also cause heart disease and increase the risk of stroke.

Japanese Researchers Invent ‘Tooth Patch’ to Prevent Tooth Decay

In Japan, scientists have created a new tool that many believe will help prevent tooth decay in the future. They call it the “tooth patch,” an ultra-flexible biocompatible film that scientists have designed to fit snugly over the surface of teeth. The film is made entirely of hydroxyapatite, the natural mineral from which tooth enamel is made. The developers of the tooth patch hope that it’s enamel-like composition will make it an effective shield to prevent tooth decay, as well as a restorative material that can be used to repair teeth with pre-existing cavities or dental caries.

Alarming Study Links Monsanto’s GM Corn with Cancer
