Shares of high fructose corn syrup producer Archer-Daniels-Midlan fell on Thursday after President Donald Trump announced that he had persuaded Coca-Cola to use real cane sugar in its drinks in the U.S. “I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so. I’d like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post published Wednesday. “This will be a very good move by them — You’ll se...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has now launched a safety label change warning of the dangers of Tylenol in pregnant mothers. The FDA also announced approval of leucovorin, a form of folic acid suggested as a treatment for autism symptoms. The medical community, in collusion with public health officials, has long pointed to a ‘blame-the-victim’ approach, saying it was just children with unlucky genetics – a nod to eugenics musings and insulting to families looking for answers.

President Donald Trump signed a memorandum directing Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to take action on pharmaceutical advertising. The United States is one of only two countries in the world that allow pharmaceutical companies to advertise directly to the consumer. The other one is New Zealand.

The U.S. government recommends 50 grams of protein per day based on a 2,000 calorie diet, an equivalent of 10% of your overall calories. This amount of protein is enough to keep you from looking emaciated, but not nearly enough to help you feel your best. There are multiple problems with the FDA’s one-size-fits-all protein recommendation. Being active or under high amounts of stress will increase your need for protein. Plus, protein fitness is crucial to thyroid function. If you want your thyroi...

As artists, we often demand so much from ourselves—long nights, endless rehearsals, constant creating—without realizing that our bodies need proper fuel to keep up with our vision.

Thomas Sowell, one of the most incisive thinkers of our time, warned repeatedly about the dangers of intellectuals detached from real-world consequences. Though he rarely addressed medicine directly, his insights are strikingly applicable to today's healthcare crisis-a system dominated by academic elites, rigid guidelines, and centralized authority, while practical, patient-centered wisdom is sidelined.

Nowhere is this intellectual overreach more harmful than in modern medicine.

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) released its 2025 Dirty Dozen list, a “Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce,” and it serves as a solid reminder that we still have a lot of work to do when it comes to cleaning up the food system.

The ability to feel sensations in your fingertips, feet, and elsewhere in your body is due to an amazing network of nerves.

Walking, balance, gait, or the ability to open a door, write your name, or use your tech devices depends on nerves throughout your arms and legs and their connections to the brain.

Whether applied to your lawn, public spaces, orchards, or farmland, pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides are nearly impossible to avoid. These chemicals are used worldwide and are found in the food you eat, water you drink, and air you breathe. While manufacturers claim they are safe for human exposure when used as directed, your body still must detoxify and repair from their impact.
Overall pesticide use in 2022 reached 4.2 million metric tons, which is an 80 percent increase from 1990. Chi...

This condition has long gone underdiagnosed and misclassified, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Now, with growing awareness and research, it’s essential to understand what type 5 diabetes i...

The MAHA report highlights four indisputable drivers of unhealthy children—ultra-processed food, toxic chemical exposure, screen-driven stress, and rampant prescription drug use—yet skirts around or ignores other intertwined factors.

Action items listed in the report focus on “more research” instead of bold levers that could actually reverse disease trends. By avoiding hard fights with Big Ag, Big Pharma, and Big Tech, the report risks becoming another half-measure unless policymakers overhaul ...
