A new era of genetically modified foods using CRISPR technologies are hitting a grocery store shelf near you. Watch to hear Jefferey’s in-depth reporting of this new genetically modified food, which regulators do not feel necessary to regulate, as new science is showing that this new technology may cause major problems.

Almost half of all tap water sources in the US are laced with toxic ‘forever chemicals’, according to a major official study.
Experts said the findings were ‘frightening’ given the scale of the problem and the link between the toxins and cancer, fertility problems, birth defects and hormone issues.
In the most comprehensive study of its kind, researchers tested water sources at more than 700 locations across the country for PFAS, microscopic man-made chemicals that can take decades to break down in the body, hence the name ‘forever chemicals’.
They found that 45 percent of drinking water sources contained at least one PFAS – with highest concentrations in the Great Plains, the Great Lakes, the Eastern Seaboard and Central/Southern California.

LAB-GROWN CHICKEN? U.S. regulators have approved the sale of chicken made from animal cells in a lab, allowing two California companies to sell the “meat” that does not come from slaughtered animals to restaurants and supermarkets.

Here is EWG’s list of the most contaminated produce — The Dirty Dozen (and most important to buy organic):
And here is their list of the least contaminated produce — The Clean Fifteen:
* A small amount of sweet corn and papaya sold in the United States is produced from bioengineered seeds. Buy organic varieties of these crops if you want to avoid genetically modified produce.

“You’re part of an experiment you didn’t volunteer for. New molecules and new combinations of molecules are being tried in your food the whole time. You take all the risks in these experiments, the companies get all the benefits.”
This week on the Mad in America podcast we are joined by Dr. Chris van Tulleken. Chris is an Infectious Diseases doctor at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in London. He trained at Oxford and has a PhD in molecular virology from University College London, where he is an associate professor.
His research focuses on how corporations affect human health, especially in the context of child nutrition, and he works with UNICEF and the World Health Organization on this area. Chris is also one of the BBC’s leading broadcasters for children and adults and his work has won two BAFTAs. In this interview, we talk about Chris’s new book Ultra-Processed People: Why Do We All Eat Stuff That Isn’t Food and Why Can’t We Stop?
The book takes a deep dive into the science, economics, history, and production of ultra-processed food. In particular, we discuss some of the effects of UPF on our brains and bodies and how the food industry positions UPF to dominate our diets.
