Global chemical giants knew about the health dangers of dioxins DECADES before Vietnam

Among the many horrors of the Vietnam War was the United States military’s spraying of Agent Orange, a highly toxic defoliant, throughout the rainforests of the South Pacific.

Evidence is “overwhelming,” says EPA scientist, that pesticides contribute to cancer risk

The ugly truth that government-approved chemicals applied daily to American crop fields cause cancer is finally seeing the light of day, thanks in large part to the release of a trove of never-before-seen documents known collectively as the “Poison Papers.” Released by the Bioscience Resource Project (BRP) in collaboration with the Center for Media and […]

Is the EPA really an environmental agency? Documents reveal their active agenda to suppress relevant science

Many on the left are convinced that President Trump couldn’t care less about the environment because he’s spoken about restructuring and even scrapping certain elements of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

FDA hid glyphosate findings from the public after finding weed killer contamination in nearly ALL food

Shocking internal emails, uncovered via the Freedom of Information Act, have revealed yet another scandal: The FDA knew that the toxic weed killer, glyphosate, was contaminating the U.S. food supply — and ignored the dangerous threat posed to American consumers.

Follow the money: Monsanto-influenced lawmakers side with chemical industry, question IARCs findings on glyphosate, threaten to cut funding to the WHO

The strong political influence of the chemical industry was illustrated perfectly in a recent House Science Committee hearing in which Republican lawmakers questioned the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)’s classification of glyphosate as a probable carcinogen. Taking it one step further, they even threatened to cut off funding for the IARC, which is […]

Medical safeguards thrown out the window in Pharma’s mad rush for herpes vaccine

Offshore testing of a herpes vaccine on human subjects absent U.S. Food and Drug Administration monitoring is creating a medical ethics controversy.

Henry Miller, corporate prostitute: Endorses GMOs, tobacco, radiation, DDT, glyphosate

For many years, he was a namesake at Forbes where he published authoritative-sounding articles promoting genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) and other biotechnological products. But Henry I.
