Pregnant Women
In a
first-of-its-kind series of biomonitoring studies, researchers identified the
presence of dicamba and 2,4-D in all pregnant participants. The levels vary.
The weedkillers are linked to a host of illnesses, including amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis, or ALS, a neurodegenerative disease.
Particularly affected regions include the
Midwest and parts of the West Coast and Florida, aligning with heavy
agricultural activity and use of top-risk pesticides such as glyphosate,
atrazine, dicamba, and metolachlor.
Pesticide company efforts to push through laws that could block
litigation against them is igniting battles in several U.S. farm states and
pitting some farm groups against each other. Laws have been introduced in at
least eight states so far and drafts are circulating in more than 20 states,
backed by a deluge of advertising supporting the measures.
Opponents say the
legislation will rob farmers and others who use pesticides from holding
companies accountable in court if their pesticide products cause disease or
injury.

Top 6 Reasons to Support Regenerative Agriculture
Most growing environmental and health problems can be traced back to modern food production, including malnutrition, promotion of foodborne illnesses and drug-resistant bacterial infections, diminishing water supplies, and air, soil and water pollution .
Chicken was responsible for the most outbreak-associated
illnesses — 3,114 cases in all (12%), followed by pork and seeded vegetables,
each responsible for 10% of illnesses.
Food testing through the years
has shown that chicken is particularly prone to contamination with dangerous
pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria &
toxins.
Raw chicken has become a
notorious carrier of salmonella, campylobacter, clostridium perfringens and
listeria bacteria. Salmonella contamination is of particular concern, as
multidrug-resistant salmonella has become prevalent.
According to predictions, 10
million people worldwide will die from antibiotic-resistant diseases by 2050
lest swift action is taken to curb resistance — and that necessitates the
elimination of unnecessary agricultural use of antibiotics.

Lifestyle changes like healthy eating can reverse early-stage disease.
In 2017 to 2018, only 6.8% of U.S. adults had optimal
cardiometabolic health, which means more than 93% of U.S. adults are
metabolically unfit.
In my interview on the “Good
Morning CHD” daily news show, I discuss simple ways to radically improve your
health if you fall into that metabolically unfit category.
The basics to restoring
metabolic health are to use time-restricted eating, avoid processed foods and
linoleic acid, and get daily sun exposure.
Time-restricted eating involves
limiting your eating window to a set number of hours during the day; I
recommend getting down to a six- to eight-hour eating window with stopping all
eating at least three hours before bed.
I also share three essential
compounds that should be in your emergency medicine kit:methylene blue,
melatonin, Ivermectin and nebulized hydrogen peroxide.

Health-Harming Air Pollution From Industrial Factory Farms
Foods Containing These 5 Toxic Chemicals Could
Be Banned Under New Law
California lawmakers are hoping to ban five toxic chemicals
used in the manufacture of many processed foods, including titanium dioxide,
potassium bromate, brominated vegetable oil, red dye No. 3 and propylparaben.
Combined, these chemicals
are estrogen disrupters, lower sperm count, are known to cause cancer in
animals and humans, disrupt the gut microbiome, damage the central nervous
system, cause loss of memory and muscle coordination, and are linked to
hyperactivity in children.

Pollution Affects Children’s Ability to Learn and Think Critically
An
analysis of data from six epidemiological studies shows increased exposure to
outdoor air pollution in early life can make it harder for children to learn
and process information, especially in terms of critical thinking and

Dr. Peter Lurie, president of the
Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), and Beth Ellikidis, vice
president of agriculture and environment at the Biotechnology Innovation
Organization (BIO), argue for the genetic engineering of food. Both are
connected to Bill Gates and other Great Resetters that are pushing to replace
all-natural foods with patentable, genetically modified foods.
BIO, the world’s largest GMO (genetically
modified organism) trade organization, represents more than 1,000 pesticide,
pharmaceutical, and biotech companies in more than 30 countries. BIO claims
genetic engineering is the solution to heal, fuel and feed the world, and to
that end, it lobbies 15 different policy areas, including food, agriculture,
and healthcare policy. But the evidence of the involved pesticides and
chemicals has demonstrated this is a dangerous agenda.

Corn, Glyphosate Pose Unacceptable Health Risks, New Scientific Analysis Shows
(Call for Restriction)
The

restrict the use of GM corn in tortillas and other minimally processed corn
products, and to phase out the use of glyphosate in Mexico.

PFAS
chemicals
, found extensively in the environment and even in organic foods,
have been linked to a
host
of diseases
.
Higher
intakes of tea, pork, sports drinks, nut and seed butters, snack chips and
bottled water were associated with higher PFAS levels,
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances
(PFAS) are widely used in grease- and stain-resistant products, including food
packaging, clothing, personal care products and household items.
A study in children and young adults
found an association between PFAS exposure and alterations in amino acid
metabolism and lipid metabolism pathways.
PFAS exposure may be causing inflammation and oxidative stress
in youth, thus contributing to a variety of diseases.
PFAS has been linked to declines in fertility and fecundability,
the probability of getting pregnant within one menstrual cycle.
When the combined effects of PFAS exposure were accounted for,
exposure was associated with 30% to 40% lower chances of becoming pregnant
within one year and delivering a live baby.
PFAS
chemicals
are linked to significant increased risk of
cancer and decreased immune system function.

Toxic Vinyl Chloride Pollution: It’s Not Just an East
Palestine Problem, Report Shows
People
across the country are regularly exposed to vinyl chloride pollution,
particularly those living in low-income areas and communities of color. Vinyl
chloride contamination is primarily emanating from
petrochemical
production
and waste disposal facilities burning plastic, according to the
report issued on April 13 by the nonprofit Toxic-Free Future. The group said it
analyzed data collected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
finding that in 2021, U.S.
vinyl
chloride and PVC plastic producers
released more than 400,000 pounds of
vinyl chloride into the air, and that just five companies account for more than
97% of the nation’s vinyl chloride air pollution.
EPA Under Fire Over Approval of Cancer-Causing
Plastic-Based Fuel
An
earlier
investigation
by ProPublica and the Guardian that revealed the EPA approved
the new chemicals even though its own scientists calculated that pollution from
the production of one of the plastic-based fuels was so toxic that one in four
people exposed to it over their lifetime would be expected to develop cancer.
That risk is 250,000 times greater than the level usually considered acceptable
by the EPA division that approves new chemicals, and it’s higher than the
lifetime risk of cancer for current smokers.

How
Coca-Cola Controls and Manipulates Food and Drink Research
FOIA
documents obtained by U.S. Right to Know show Coca-Cola’s research agreements
with certain universities give it the right to review and comment on studies
before publication, and intellectual property rights connected to the research.
The research contracts also give Coca-Cola control over study
data, disclosure of results and acknowledgment of Coca-Cola funding, meaning
the company could prevent the researchers from disclosing that their funding
came from Coke, as well as the power to terminate studies early, without having
to give a reason.
Earlier this year, another batch of emails obtained via FOIA
requests revealed Coca-Cola lobbied the CDC to advance corporate objectives
over health.
A (now former) CDC official provided aid and guidance to
Coca-Cola in efforts to influence World Health Organization officials into
relaxing its sugar limits.
A recent Coke-funded study concluded that children with the
