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.

Detox is not a cleanse but a genetic program built into human cells. Vitamin A is a master switch for immunity, tissue repair, inflammation control, and detox. Only animal foods provide ready-to-use retinol; plant carotenoids must be converted in the liver and many people do this poorly. Small weekly servings of liver maintain vitamin A reserves, supporting bile flow, detox enzymes, and the epithelial barriers of the gut, lungs, and skin that block toxins and germs.

Rich in bromelain and antioxidants, it supports digestion, immunity, brain health, and inflammation. Chef Janine says, “Used thoughtfully, pineapple is a tropical gem—even for strict keto dieters.” A little goes a long way without spiking carbs.

As we age, our body's production of digestive enzymes declines, leading to reduced digestion, nutrient absorption, and increased risk of health issues. Enzymes are vital for breaking down food, supporting metabolism, and overall health. Eating raw foods, chewing well, reducing calories, and taking natural enzyme supplements can help maintain digestive function and slow aging-related decline. We aren’t what we eat, but what we digest and absorb.

A new study shows that eating late in the day can disrupt weight regulation by increasing hunger, lowering calorie burn, and promoting fat storage. Late eaters had lower leptin levels, slower metabolism, and gene expression favoring fat gain. Eating earlier may reduce obesity risk more easily than dieting or intense exercise.
