Fake Foods – Five ways to make eating a safer proposition in 2020 by Linda and Bill Bonvie With all the mock meat, fake eggs and even bogus proteins making a big splash in 2019, it very well could be remembered as the year of ersatz edibles. But despite all the glowing advertising and discussion of how such plant products…

Courtesy of our allies at Alliance for Natural Health This time it’s been slipped into a defense bill. Major Action Alert – Send Your Letter Now! We suspected it would only be a matter of time before Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) launched his next broadside against supplements. Once again, Durbin and his allies, including Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), are pouncing…

Originally posted by Linda Bonvie on FoodIdentityTheft.com, January 18, 2013 A sunny day this February in California’s Central Valley will predict the future for the state’s almond crop – and, in turn, perhaps the future of American agriculture.

By Frank Herd Program Coordinator, Citizens for Health   Chances are you’ve heard already, but the news is disturbing enough to make sure. The exact same variety of GMO (genetically moified) wheat developed by Monsanto in the 1990s (the field trials were supposed to have ended years ago) was discovered to be growing in an Eastern Oregon farmer’s fields, in…

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Our voices were heard and the FDA has granted an extension – a brief one – for comments on their proposed guidance for “Drug Products Labeled as Homeopathic.” The comment period has been extended to March 23rd. This is a step in the right direction, but not enough. We desperately need a full 180-day extension to July 23rd…

If a U.S. finished product manufacturer vigilantly quarantines ingredient shipments and vigorously tests everything that comes in (from qualified suppliers), if retailers stop stocking those “sexy” but probably spiked products, and if consumers are educated as to how dangerous (and dumb) it is to seek out “too good to be true” products……then we have a chance.

The flu vaccination: a shot in the dark that misses by a mile By LINDA BONVIE By now the flu-shot propaganda machine is in full swing. The truth is we can’t go anywhere after summer folds its tent without being bombarded with a pitch to get one of these jabs. So, should you? Will that needle poke be the extra…

ACTION ALERT: Our fellow health-freedom fighters at the Alliance for Natural Health USA (ANH-USA) have optimistically and correctly emphasized that evidence continues to mount for the power of natural medicine to keep us healthy during this and future viral pandemics. That is why we share in their confusion and frustration about continuing threats to access from the FDA, Congress, and…

By James J. Gormley Courtesy of the SupplySide Community On April 24th, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sent warning letters to 10 companies cautioning them, in the strictest possible terms, that their DMAA (1,3 Dimethylamylamine)-containing products may be considered new dietary ingredients for which notifications have not been submitted and, so, would be adulterated products in violation of…

As we have all learned by now, the primary problem with the coronavirus is in the lungs. And we also know there are traditional kitchen remedies for many ailments that can complement a primary course of treatment. There is one such traditional remedy that helped the lady who posted this clip. She was on the verge of going to the…

IN MEMORY OF JAMES S. TURNER 1940 — 2022 James S. Turner, an attorney and consumer advocate who was an original “Nader’s Raider,” passed away suddenly at his Washington, D.C. home on January 25. He was 81. While working with Ralph Nader, Mr. Turner wrote the 1970 book, The Chemical Feast: Ralph Nader’s Study Group Report on the Food and Drug Administration.  Time Magazine commented at…

By James Gormley I was pleasantly surprised, in 2004, when Ana Micka reached out to me at the suggestion of Jim Turner. The CUNY Graduate Center was holding a symposium on globalism and Citizens needed somebody to talk about the EU Supplements Directive and Codex, and about how common ground could be found between consumers and industry. Finding common ground…
