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.

The 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines mark a clear reset in U.S. nutrition policy. They move away from nutrient counting and low-fat dogma toward real, whole foods as the foundation of health. Ultra-processed foods and added sugar are explicitly discouraged, protein is prioritized at every meal, healthy fats from whole foods are welcomed, and alcohol guidance is tightened. The focus shifts to food quality, satiety, metabolic and gut health, with system-wide implications beyond the

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

The liver is a vital organ responsible for metabolism, detoxification, nutrient storage, bile production, and hundreds of biochemical processes essential to life. Eating liver provides exceptional nutrition—rich in B12, vitamin A, iron, B vitamins, CoQ10, and complete protein—supporting energy, fertility, immunity, and blood health. As one of nature’s most nutrient-dense foods, liver has long been valued in traditional and therapeutic diets.

“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.

Industrial seed oils are highly processed, chemically fragile oils overloaded with Omega-6 fats that oxidize easily and flood modern diets through packaged and restaurant foods. Their damaged compounds and extreme Omega-6 imbalance drive inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic dysfunction. This article exposes how these oils are made, why we overconsume them, and healthier fats to choose instead.

Soy, including tofu, offers benefits like plant-based protein and heart health but raises concerns due to its estrogenic effects, potential thyroid disruption, and high GMO content. 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

“What’s With Wheat?” reveals how modern wheat has been genetically altered, chemically treated, and mass-produced—causing inflammation, gut issues, and a rise in gluten sensitivity and autoimmune diseases. Once a wholesome grain, wheat may now be fueling chronic health problems. This eye-opening documentary urges viewers to question today’s food system and consider cutting wheat for better health.

Canola oil, made from rapeseed, was rebranded in Canada to distance it from its toxic origins. High in omega-6, it contributes to inflammation when not balanced with omega-3s. A healthy fat intake includes a mix of omega-3, omega-6, saturated, and monounsaturated fats. To lower inflammation and disease risk, reduce omega-6 oils (like canola, soybean) and increase omega-3s from fish, flax, chia, walnuts, and grass-fed meats. Choose cooking oils like olive, avocado, butter, or

Refined carbs are processed to remove fiber and nutrients, boosting shelf life and sweetness but harming health. They cause blood sugar spikes and contribute to chronic illness. Whole grains retain natural nutrients and fiber, supporting heart and digestive health. Avoid foods with enriched flour, refined sugar, and added starch. Opt for whole grains, berries, nuts, and low-lactose yogurt to maintain energy and overall well-being.

Oxalates are natural compounds in some plant foods that can bind to calcium in the body. Excess oxalates may form calcium oxalate kidney stones—8 in 10 stones are this type. High-oxalate foods include spinach, beets, rhubarb, and black tea. To reduce risk, stay hydrated, limit salt and protein, avoid high-dose vitamin C, and eat calcium-rich foods like broccoli and kale with meals. Proper cooking can reduce oxalate content in plant foods.

Dr. Paul Saladino argues that eating nose-to-tail animal foods provides all essential nutrients, while plants contain defense chemicals that may harm health. He questions the assumed benefits of polyphenols, fiber, and plant-based diets, highlighting that early humans were likely high-level carnivores. Organ meats are nutrient-dense and affordable. He advocates for fat-based metabolism, moderate protein intake, and challenges common views on plant compounds and supplements.

A study found that switching to an organic diet reduced glyphosate levels by over 70% in adults and children within six days. Glyphosate, a widely used herbicide linked to cancer and hormone disruption, was detected in nearly all participants. While organic eating significantly lowers exposure, environmental contamination means some residue remains. The study highlights the urgent need for safer farming practices and stricter regulations.
