The IDFA (International Dairy Foods Association) and NMPF (National Milk Producers Federation) request their proposed amendments to the milk standard of identity to allow optional characterizing flavoring ingredients used in milk (e.g., chocolate flavoring added to milk) to be sweetened with any safe and suitable sweetener — including non-nutritive sweeteners such as aspartame. Importantly, none of these additives needs to be listed on the label. They will simply be swept under the definition of “milk,” so that when a company lists “milk” on the label, it automatically includes aspartame or sucralose. Moreover, if you’re trying to avoid aspartame, you’ll have no way of doing so because it won’t be listed on the label. This isn’t only for milk, either: It’s also for yogurt, cream, sour cream, eggnog, whipping cream and a total of 17 products, all of which are listed in the petition at FDA.gov. This is all being done to “save the children,” we’re told, because the use of aspartame in milk products would reduce calories. Continue reading
High-level executives from some of the U.S.’s largest food corporations are meeting with the FDA behind closed doors this week to lobby for a mandatory federal GMO labeling law. Could it be that bad press and consumer backlash have dulled the enthusiasm of these former biotech cheerleaders? On the other hand, is Big Food just cozying up to the FDA so they can derail the growing organic and anti-GMO movement and finagle a federal labeling law so toothless it will not be worth the ink it takes to sign it?

Problem is, their brands still saturated with sugar and other toxic ingredients! Continue reading
Thimerosal is a mercury-containing preservative used in some vaccines and other products since the 1930′s. Since July 1999, the Public Health Service agencies, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and vaccine manufacturers agreed that thimerosal should be reduced or eliminated in vaccines as a precautionary measure. Medical truth is obviously against deliberately poisoning people, but don’t tell that to anyone at the FDA whose staff falls all over itself to promote the most dangerous drugs ever known to mankind. Vaccines are loaded with thimerosal and other crude materials that will never make anyone well! Continue reading

With all the talk of food additives in the news these days, we’ve all become accustomed to reading the labels on the food products that we buy. However, if you thought that it was only pre-packaged meals and snack foods that contain these pesky artificial ingredients, think again. A study by the United States Food and Drug Administration found that in excess of 3,000 colors, flavorings and preservatives are added to food products in the country. Included in that list, are three products traditionally thought to be healthy due to their supposed one-ingredient list, on closer inspection, they are actually contain food additives.
