Nutrition Advice, Brought to you by Big Food
Released government documents show how Big Food has tried to stack a nutrition panel responsible for determining US dietary guidelines. Action Alert! An investigation by STAT News has found that an advisory committee responsible for shaping American nutrition recommendations is rife with conflicts of interest. This helps explain why the Guidelines have, for years now, continued to miss the mark on several key health issues that, if followed, would undermine our health. It is a case study in crony capitalism. Read more.
EPA’s new Forever Chemicals ‘Framework’ Puts Americans at Risk
A sea change in approach over how the EPA classifies PFAS forever chemicals will allow thousands to escape regulation and poses serious risks to our health. This begs the question: is the EPA looking out for Americans or for the chemical industry? Action Alert! Read more.
FDA Getting Ready to Ban Hormones?
A new rule is in the pipeline that could spell the end of your access to compounded bioidentical hormones…unless we stop it. Action Alert! Are you one of the millions of women who rely on compounded bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (cBHRT) to feel healthy and vibrant? Your ability to use compounded hormones is in serious jeopardy due to FDA paternalism. Help us fight back and protect your access to cBHRT! Read more.
FDA Ransack of Nature Ongoing with NMN Attack
Stop drug companies from stealing products that give us years on our lives. Action Alert! Earlier this year, ANH-USA and the Natural Products Association (NPA) submitted a Citizen’s Petition to the FDA urging the agency to reverse its determination that nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is not a legal dietary supplement. Late in August, the agency responded to our petition…saying it needs more time to reach a decision. This inaction is disappointing, but not surprising. Read more.
Tell Whole Foods to Stop Limiting Your Homeopathy Access
Taking cues from the FDA, Whole Foods Market has decided to start yanking homeopathic medicines from their own shelves. We need to speak up to defend access to homeopathy NOW! Action Alert! We have been hearing from our sources that Whole Foods Market has decided to end sales of single tube homeopathic medicines. These are the products that were in display cases in alphabetical order, but these display cases will soon be gone. Read more.
Is Your Fish Oil Worthless?
Of course not, but that doesn’t stop the pharma-backed hit pieces from attacking this critical supplement. Action Alert! Did you know that one person dies every 33 seconds from cardiovascular disease? It is a public health outrage that such a preventable disease is the leading cause of death in the US, but rather than help people manage these risks with common-sense supplements, the authors of a new study think you should throw away your fish oil. Huh? Read more.
The New Wave of Frankenfoods, Coming to a Store Near You
The government is making decisions about genome-edited food that prevent consumers from identifying it, exposing us to potential risks. Action Alert! Did you know that meat from a genome-edited (GE) cow could soon be in grocery stores, and it wouldn’t be distinguishable from other meat? That’s because it will likely not need to be labeled as being GE (or “bioengineered” to use the USDA’s term). Worse, the FDA has cleared this product with only cursory oversight because it believes the GE cows to be “low-risk.” Read more.
Want Better Food? Demand a Better Farm Bill!
Why is U.S. food and farming dominated by junk food peddlers like Pepsi, genetic engineering giants like Monsanto (now Bayer) and factory farm titans like Tyson Foods?Every five years, their lobbyists write a piece of legislation known as the Farm Bill that doles out billions of our tax dollars in subsidies that grease the wheels of their big-profits-from-cheap-food machine.

The Dark Side of the Great 5G Experiment Exposed
5G networks are being deployed on a major scale as corporates gear up for the Internet of Things (IoT), despite a lack of safety testing and a growing body of evidence suggesting harm. Action Alert! A review recently published in the journal Environmental Research, led by Linda Birnbaum, PhD, the former director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and National Toxicology Program, concluded there is “substantial scientific evidence” that radiofrequency (RF) radiation associated with wireless communication networks causes cancer, endocrine and neurological problems, and many other negative health effects.
