Evidence proves the EPA downplayed the toxic threat of PFAs

When we find out that something we once believed was safe is actually toxic, we’d like to think that the makers of these products didn’t know it was dangerous and withdrew it as soon as they found out. That’s what would happen in an ideal world. However, not only did the makers of products containing […]

Biology Fortified is another front group for Monsanto, pushing GMOs and cancer-causing herbicides in your food

Biology Fortified, Inc. (BFI) is a tax-exempt GMO-front group with a main mission of teaching scientists how to communicate with the public (and political lobbyists) and convince them that genetically modified organisms in food are not the health-and-environmental horror story that they really are today. The BFI main source of reference is the Genetic Engineering […]

CONFIRMED: Chemical giants have been colluding with regulators to suppress information on the deadly effects of pesticides

The pesticide industry is widely viewed as being just as toxic as the chemicals themselves, but now new evidence unearthed by the Poison Papers has shown that toxicity extends all the way up to government regulatory agencies.

DAMNING EVIDENCE: Revealed documents prove that Monsanto deliberately sold banned chemicals for years despite knowing their health risks

Monsanto’s atrocious acts were bound to catch up with them some time — and it is beginning to look like that time has finally come.

SICK: Renowned academic brags about suppressing information on the deadly effects of PFAS in 3M chemicals

Professor John P. Giesy may be considered one of the top academic authorities on toxic chemicals, but it turns out that position of power has been abused. Despite being credited as the first scientist to sound the alarm on the presence of toxic per- and poly-fluoroalkyl [PFAS] chemicals in the environment, new evidence has revealed Giesy […]

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 […]

SELLOUTS: The EPA’s pesticide approval office is funded by pesticide manufacturers and relies on their submitted data as “science”

The Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Pesticide Programs is supposed to be responsible for producing independent analyses of pesticides. But is that what they really do? Like other federal agencies (à la the FDA), the Office of Pesticides does no actual studies or research of their own; instead, they review data provided to them by pesticide manufacturers. […]

A deadly pattern of collusion and deceit: Both industry and regulators are aware of the dangers of pesticides

When corporate interests and government agencies collide, you get a veritable Pandora’s box of corruption, collusion and deceit. And when those corporate interests include toxic pesticides, you get the Poison Papers. Collectively, the Poison Papers are 20,000 pages of documents which prove government agencies and industry cronies have worked together to obscure the truth about […]

The politics surrounding GMOs: Bureaucrats don’t care about the environment and are more interested in money

By and large, government bureaucrats in America and Europe don’t care two sticks about the environment or public health. They only care about the profits promised by big businesses that are using GMOs to take over the world’s food supplies, an article in GreenMedInfo stated. It started in the U.S. in the 90s. The executives […]

Pesticide safety: Flawed risk assessment tests were driven by too much industry influence

“If pesticides are so dangerous, why are they allowed to be sold and used?” If you’ve ever tried to convince someone how important it is to buy organic produce, you might have heard this line. Answering honestly can get you labeled a conspiracy theorist pretty quickly, but according to one NGO, nine out of ten […]
