Many U.S. food additives enter the market through the GRAS loophole, allowing manufacturers to self-declare chemicals as safe without mandatory FDA review or disclosure. Originally meant for traditional foods, GRAS now covers synthetic additives often banned abroad. These chemicals can disrupt gut health, inflammation, and metabolism. With new nutrition guidance and dye bans, closing the GRAS loophole is the next critical step.

This essay examines how the sugar and prepared-foods industries reshaped nutrition science by redirecting attention away from sugar and refined carbohydrates and toward dietary fat. Through targeted research funding, media amplification, and policy influence, a manufactured scientific consensus was embedded in dietary guidelines. The resulting restructuring of the food supply closely tracked the rise of modern chronic diseases, revealing how corporate power shaped public heal

“Fed A Lie” (Nov 2024) exposes how seed oils—marketed for decades as “heart-healthy”—have fueled the rise of obesity and chronic disease. Featuring Paul Saladino MD, Nina Teicholz PhD, Chris Knobbe MD, and athlete Bethany Hamilton 🏄🏼, the film reveals the history, science, and industry influence behind these industrial oils and urges a return to real, ancestral, nutrient-dense foods.

Women, especially those with thyroid issues or estrogen-sensitive conditions, should moderate soy intake. Chef Janine avoids soy in her gourmet keto meals to prioritize hormone-safe ingredients that support metabolic and overall health. Moderation and organic choices are key for safe soy consumpti

Canola oil is a type of vegetable oil derived from the seeds of the canola plant, a member of the Brassica family. The evolution of canola from a niche crop to a global staple is due to Canadian researchers having transformed an engine lubricant into a source of "artificial nutrition" for consumers worldwide. As you consume the canola oil next time, remember the peculiar history of how Canada convinced the world to embrace a crop that once lubricated engines but now nourishes

A 2021 George Washington University study found toxic chemicals, including phthalates and plasticizers, in 81–86% of fast food items from major U.S. chains like McDonald’s and Taco Bell. These chemicals, linked to hormonal, reproductive, and behavioral issues, likely come from food handling gloves and packaging. Meaty items had the highest levels, while cheese pizza had the lowest. Home-cooked meals may reduce exposure.

Many everyday foods contain trace amounts of insect-derived ingredients or bug fragments. Additives like carmine (from crushed beetles) and shellac (from lac bugs) are used for coloring and glazing. Even honey, beeswax, and royal jelly come from insects. The FDA allows a certain level of insect fragments in food, as total removal is nearly impossible. On average, Americans unknowingly consume 1–2 pounds of bugs per year through common foods.

Bud Light NEXT is the first zero-carb beer on the market—80 calories, 4% ABV, and keto-friendly. But don't expect much flavor. With a pale color and seltzer-like taste, it lacks the depth of real beer. Comfort Keto tested it (no affiliation) and gave it a thumbs down. If you're desperate for a keto "beer" at a party, maybe—just don’t pour it in a glass. 🍺🙈

Spinach may not be as healthy as you think. It's extremely high in oxalates—1,510 mg per cup cooked—which can contribute to kidney stones and conditions like vulvodynia in women. Oxalates bind with calcium, forming harmful crystals. To reduce risk, avoid high-oxalate greens like spinach and choose low-oxalate options like romaine, arugula, and cabbage instead. Talk to your doctor if you have symptoms or kidney stone history.
