FWW emphasized that as factory farms take over, the number of small dairies raising animals outside the factory farm system plummeted, with barely one-third as many today compared to 20 years ago. The big factory farms use more antibiotics and the food and waste is much more toxic. We need more regenerative agriculture but the opposite has been happening.

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.

Consumption of Ultra-Processed Foods Significantly Increases Risk of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Meta Analysis

More and more studies of various types link ultra-processed foods (“UPF) to all sorts of health-related problems . Just recently,  TrialSite covered a study  showing consumption of UPF to higher risk of mouth throat and esophagus cancers, Obesity is approaching 40% of the U.S. population along with rising chronic disease, autoimmune disorders not to mention other conditions .

 

Common U.S. Food Additives (Emulsifiers) in Ultra-processed Food Can Cause Cancer and other conditions.

After an average follow-up of seven years, the researchers found that individuals who had a higher dietary intake of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids — also known as E471 — were at a 15% higher risk of developing cancer. Higher intakes of E471 were associated with a 24% higher risk of breast cancer and a 46% higher risk of prostate cancer. Carrageenan, another emulsifier often denoted as E407 was also associated with a 32% higher risk of breast cancer among women.

Pregnant Women Should Avoid Ultra-processed, Fast Foods, Experts Urge

Research shows that  phthalates , a class of chemicals associated with  plastics , can shed from the wrapping, packaging and even from plastic gloves worn by food handlers into food. The chemical can cause oxidative stress and an inflammatory cascade within the fetus, researchers noted. Medical literature has indicated that exposure to phthalates during pregnancy can increase the risk of low birth weight, preterm birth and child mental health disorders such as  autism  and  ADHD .

 

Health risks from ultra-processed foods confirmed by study.

A 10% increase in consumption of ultra-processed foods was associated with 13.1% higher urine concentrations of phthalate metabolites, whereas eating 10% more minimally-processed foods was associated with 10.8% lower concentrations of phthalate metabolites. Phthalates and other toxics in ultra-processed food are documented to cause significant health harm .

 

 

Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs) Can Cause Anxiety

 

The average American consumes about 60% of their daily calories from UPFs, and a recent study published by the  National Institute of Health  revealed that the more UPF participants ate, the more likely they were to report mild depression or even feelings of anxiety.

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 and nebulized hydrogen peroxide.

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.
