[quote=Anonymous]Wowzer.  All this was going on under democrat FDA leadership.  But MAGA is "anti-science".

[b]Alarming facts about our food in the first MAHA Commission Report:

I encourage you to read the entire MAHA Commission report (1), but I put together some key takeaways from the report in a digestible format that is easy to share with your friends and famil[/b]y:

Roughly 70% of the over 300,000 branded food products in grocery stores are ultra-processed, many of which are designed to override satiety mechanisms and increase caloric intake.
    Artificial food dyes, such as Red 40 are associated with behavioral issues in children, such as increased hyperactivity and symptoms consistent with ADHD.
    Preliminary evidence suggests an association between artificial food dyes and autism, although further long-term research is necessary.
    The artificial dye Titanium Dioxide may cause cellular and DNA damage.
    The preservative BHT found in common snacks and cereals may be associated with tumor growth in rodent studies.
    Artificial Sweeteners (like Aspartame and Sucralose) have been observed to interfere with the gut microbiome, linked to obesity, metabolic issues, and possibly glucose intolerance.
    Aspartame is classified as “Possibly Carcinogenic” by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
    High fructose corn syrup and other ultraprocessed sugars may play a significant role in childhood obesity, type 2 diabetes, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
    Industrial refining of seed oils (e.g. soybean, corn, cottonseed, and canola) reduces nutrients – and these oils contribute to an imbalanced omega-6/omega-3 ratio, having a potential role in inflammation.
    9 out of the last 10 FDA commissioners have gone on to work for the pharmaceutical industry.
    95% of the 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee members had financial ties to food and pharma companies.
    The food industry funds the bulk of research in the field – Some industry leaders have engaged in ghostwriting and sponsored reviews to influence the scientific literature, which mirrors tactics used by the tobacco industry to distort scientific consensus.
    50% of non-industry research found a common pesticide harmful, compared to 18% of industry-funded studies.
    Pesticides, microplastics, and dioxins are commonly found in the blood and urine of American children and pregnant women — some at alarming levels.
    Studies have raised concerns about pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides and links to adverse health outcomes, especially in children, but human studies are limited.
    Research studies on the herbicide Glyphosate noted possible effects ranging from reproductive and developmental disorders as well as cancers, liver inflammation and metabolic disturbances.
    Exposure to the herbicide Atrazine can cause endocrine disruption and birth defects.
    Over 75 % of American youth (aged 17-24) are ineligible for military service – primarily due to obesity, poor physical fitness, and/or mental health challenges.
