The CDC estimates that one in four Americans become ill each year from foodborne illnesses. The current Food Safety bills will not make this better—they will almost certainly make it worse. We want to share the rest of our strategy with you.
The first national survey about bisphenol A (BPA) conducted by Statistics Canada has revealed that 91% of Canadians have a body burden of this chemical known to have hormone-like effects.

Honestly, no one knows because “we are the experiment.”
Today, the Alliance for Natural Health USA is filing a Citizen Petition with the Consumer Products Safety Commission to have bisphenol-A (BPA) banned from cash register receipts, the little-known but most common pathway into your body. Please help make the CPSC pay attention to the latest science.
Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) is working hard to add an amendment to the Food Safety Bill that would ban BPA in food containers. We oppose the Food Safety Bill but welcome Senator Feinstein’s proposed amendment.
For 500 years, scientists have thought that we can tolerate a tiny bit of almost any type of poison. True?
Your doctor inquires about your health history and that of your family, but are you asked which chemicals you apply to your body every day?
Despite beginning a process to retract their previous assertion that BPA (bisphenol A) is safe, the FDA claims to be “powerless to regulate BPA.” Give us a break!
The FDA’s failure to protect newborns and the unborn from BPA recalls the old joke “How many deaths does it take for the FDA to remove a drug from the market?” The answer (not all funny): all too many.
All children deserve the best protection we can provide, but the government is failing to shield our most vulnerable population — the unborn — from chemicals in the environment.
Over the past year, Pulse of Health Freedom has focused on safety concerns regarding bisphenol A (BPA) and the FDA’s puzzling about-face on this issue. In February 2009 the American Association for Health Freedom filed a petition with the FDA, asking that it rule on the practice of giving children BPA in the form of dental sealants and composite fillings. But according to the Journal Sentinel, the FDA requested more time so its scientists could consider hundreds of new studies on the effects of this chemical.
