TAKE ACTION
Ban Toxic Sludge From Farmland
Right now the EPA is moving to let sewage sludge laced with PFAS “forever chemicals” keep being spread on the farmland that grows our food, and the deadline to speak up is September 4.The EPA’s own research found these chemicals can cause cancer and other diseases in people who live near fields where sludge is spread, or who drink the milk, eat the beef, and other foods produced on them, including kidney and liver cancers, decreased birth weight, increased cholesterol, and diminished immune function.
Now the agency is scrapping that assessment, just as it recently walked back its limits on PFAS in drinking water.

From Soil to Gut: Why Your Gut Health Depends on the World Around You
by Mónica Quinzo, Gut Microbiota for Health:“At its heart, One Health is the recognition that the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems is closely linked and interdependent. While we may often think of ourselves as individuals, science now shows we are ‘holobionts’, complex collectives of human cells and trillions of microbes intimately connected to and co-evolving. Bacteria, fungi, viruses, and archaea, are not just passengers. They are active participants in our health, influencing everything from digestion and immunity to mood and metabolism.
These microorganisms also connect us to the world around us as they are the common denominator of life on Earth. Subsets of microbial communities are constantly cycling through our shared habitats. They move from soil and water into plants and animals and ultimately into our bodies before returning to the environment. By functioning as the planet’s invisible engineers, these microbes bridge the health of the entire biosphere.
Our gut microbiota is far from a closed system. Instead, it continuously interacts with the microbial diversity in our surroundings.”

Is It a Chemical? Is It Alive? Oversight in the Coming Era of Synthetic Cells Could Be Complicated.
by David Gillum & Peter A. Carr, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists:“The advent of synthetic cells has promoted speculative concern about future risks—cells that can outcompete natural life, say—but, for now, the technology raises more immediate questions: How long can such cells persist in the environment? Will they affect ecosystems or the human microbiome?
Although the US government is engaged in the process of modernizing biosafety policies, current oversight practices remain ill-suited to regulating the production of synthetic cells. The technology will straddle scientific areas like chemistry and biology and regulatory domains such as environmental protection and human health.
Could a synthetic cell system persist longer than intended? Could it spread beyond a target site? Might it produce unexpected byproducts or affect surrounding ecological processes?”
These are the questions that may matter more than slotting a synthetic cell system into an established regulatory category.

FOOD & LEISURE
The Old-School Dining Tradition Making A Comeback Thanks To Younger Diners
Deb Kavis, Tasting Table:“While economic stress has turned many modern day home cooks towards old-school frugal recipes, there are other retro dining trends staging a comeback. Those seeking social options beyond drinking and clubbing have rediscovered a vibrant vintage dinner tradition that celebrates food and leisure. The post-pandemic landscape has brought the supper club back to the forefront for younger generations.
Among other vintage entertaining trends that deserve a comeback, supper clubs have returned in a DIY format. The general sentiment is that this experience makes space for younger diners to re-engage with their communities and socialize in a more low pressure (and low cost) way. Rather than struggling to be heard over the cacophony of a bar or club, supper clubs offer a quieter and more wholesome setting for in-person gatherings.”
Modern iterations of the old-school concept have taken a more cost-effective approach, with younger diners opting to host their own supper clubs at home.

Growing a Better Way
The industrial, factory farm, GMO monoculture agricultural model was always intended to benefit a shrinking number of big corporations, mostly chemical and junk food companies.Monsanto’s claims about “helping farmers” or “feeding the world” have been nothing more than carefully crafted public relations messages, unfounded and ungrounded in reality.
Tyson’s practice of locking farmers into contracts, then walking away when it suits the company, benefits only Tyson, not the chicken farmers who borrow millions to build the facilities Tyson demands, and are then left holding the debt when Tyson shuts a plant down. And certainly not the consumers who get cheap, drug and antibiotic contaminated chicken.
This degenerative food and farming model, built on “heedless self-interest,” is little by little, lawsuit by lawsuit, being exposed for what it is: a model that has failed consumers, failed the environment, failed economically for all but a few greedy corporations, failed to deliver anything but unhealthy food, polluted waterways, degraded soils.
Who will help build the model founded on traditional organic regenerative farming practices?
Farming practices that work with the Earth’s natural systems, instead of against them? A model that works economically for farmers and local communities, not the Monsanto and Tyson types?
Organic, regenerative farmers already working with the land instead of against it, and the conscious consumers who choose to support them instead of Big Ag.
That’s the model worth funding, and worth voting with your dollars for.
Can you help us move this model forward?

Traditional Food Program Reduces Heart Failure Hospital Visits in Navajo Nation
by Mass General Brigham Communications, Harvard Medical School:“A culturally tailored meal program rooted in traditional Diné (Navajo) foods significantly reduced hospitalizations and emergency department visits among heart failure patients in rural Navajo Nation, according to a new randomized clinical trial led by researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, the University of Pennsylvania, and Gallup Indian Medical Center in New Mexico.
‘Food heals in many ways: through good nutrition, culture, identity, and connection,’ said senior author Sonya Shin, HMS associate professor of medicine, part-time, at Brigham and Women’s. ‘This intervention demonstrates that culturally grounded approaches are not only respectful but also clinically effective.’”

How Effective Is the Flu Vaccine?
Dr. David Brownstein, M.D., writes:
Every year, the powers that be in our government and the mainstream media use every public relations tactic they can muster to frighten the American people into receiving the flu vaccine. For instance, we’ve been told ad nauseam that 36,000 people die yearly from the flu. I’ve been practicing medicine for more than 30 years. That would mean during my career, approximately 1,080,000 people have died from influenza infection.
Personally, I can’t recall a single patient dying from the flu during my 30 years of practice. Either I’m the best doctor in the world, or there’s something wrong with those numbers.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports death statistics every year in a document called the National Vital Statistics Reports. Each year, a few hundred people die from influenza.
Special: Doctor Reveals Little-Known Immune Health Secret
So where does the number 36,000 come from? The CDC provides this disinformation by combining deaths from pneumonia with influenza to provide an inflated number. The latest data listed 41,917 deaths from influenza and pneumonia, which is the 13th most common cause of death in the U.S.
But searching deeper through the data reveals that 608 deaths were caused by the flu; 41,309 deaths were from pneumonia.
Does a disease that is causing 608 deaths out of a population of 330 million require a mandatory vaccine? That kind of self-assurance on the part of the medical establishment would lead one to believe that the flu vaccine must be safe and effective. But is it?
According to the CDC, “. . . flu vaccines are designed to protect against infection and illness caused by the influenza viruses. Flu vaccine effectiveness may vary based on how similar or different the vaccine is to circulating influenza viruses.”
The CDC reports the efficacy of the vaccine annually. From 2009 through 2023, the effectiveness of the vaccine ranged from a low of 19% to a high of 60%. Nearly four-fifths of those years, flu vaccine efficacy was less than 50%.
Looking at those numbers, I can’t believe that anyone would prescribe a flu shot, much less take one.
