Yet only recently the agency held that KIND snack bars couldn’t claim to be healthy because they contained too much fat. Never mind that the fats in question are the good fats we need. Last year the FDA sent a warning letter to KIND Healthy Snacks, telling them their products were advertised as being “healthy” […]
With your help, we can defeat it once again. Action Alert! Last week we told you about an anti-supplement amendment that we think will be attached to a must-pass bill to fund the military in fiscal year 2017.

Big drug companies want the entire market to themselves. Action Alert! If they’re successful, the price of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy could go through the roof. And you won’t be able to get the therapy in the right form, either. In 2014, TherapeuticsMD, a drug company specializing in women’s healthcare, was granted two new patents […]
It’s the same tactic these senators used last year, and with your help we will beat it back again. Action Alert! Last year, Sens.

Medical free speech has been set back, but plaintiffs did win some parts of the long, protracted battle. Last year, POM Wonderful petitioned the US Supreme Court to review a lower court decision that had partly sided with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The agency had tried to prevent the pomegranate juice company—and, by extension, […]
Probably not. Compelling evidence says it is THE leading cause of death, even ahead of heart disease and cancer. A troubling report just published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) calculates that medical errors kill 251,000 Americans each year, making it the third leading cause of death behind cancer and heart disease. This report updates […]
Sunscreens don’t prevent skin cancer, diet and supplements do! Sun avoidance causes many more cancers than it prevents! At present, we all live on planet Earth, which circles a small star—the Sun—which shines on us very often when we’re outdoors (except here in Seattle and a few other places). Anthropologists and archaeologists have found that […]
