🚨 ‘First-of-its-kind’ Lawsuit Alleges Addictive Ultraproccessed Foods Caused Teen’s Illnesses

A teenager from Warrington, Pennsylvania, sued 11 Big Food manufacturers, alleging ultraprocessed foods (UPFs), engineered to be as addictive as cigarettes, caused him to develop fatty liver disease, Type 2 diabetes and other health problems.

In a 148-page lawsuit, filed Tuesday in the Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia County, Bryce Martinez, 18, alleges he’s the victim of a “predatory profiteering” scheme by Big Food that seeks to develop and market food to children that is harmful to health, without warning the public of the foods’ dangers.

The lawsuit states that the diseases Martinez was diagnosed with “did not exist in children” before the development of ultraprocessed foods. The lawsuit presents evidence from scientific studies finding that childhood diseases such as obesity skyrocketed with the advent and wide availability of such foods.

Calley Means, co-author of “Good Energy: The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health,” told The Defender, “More than 15% of teens have fatty liver disease and 38% have prediabetes. Almost 50% are overweight or obese.”

He added:

“This happened almost overnight because the processed food industry paid the media and regulators to promote deliberate lies about the impact of their ingredients on our health.

“We don’t have a free market when it comes to food — we have a rigged market. Litigation like this is a great tool to rebalance the harm processed food makers have inflicted on American children.”

🚨 ‘Uncharted Territories’: Biologist Warns of Unknown Risks of COVID Vaccine DNA Contamination

According to Kevin McKernan (founder of Medicinal Genomics), the presence of DNA in the cells can pose health risks, because it “could integrate into the genome and cause disruption of the genome … or it could disrupt other genes that are related to cancer.”

McKernan referred to a recent paper that found DNA integration “in 99% of patients,” with “thousands of integrations per genome.” The paper found that 10% of those patients ultimately got cancer.

McKernan said vaccine manufacturers did not disclose the presence of this DNA in the shots. “It was something that they hid from the regulators, particularly the SV40 elements” — referring to simian virus 40, the DNA contaminant McKernan discovered in the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines last year.

According to McKernan, SV40 “is a nuclear targeting sequence used in gene therapy” that interferes with cell function. Despite claims by regulators and pharmaceutical companies that SV40 is non-functional, McKernan said there’s “clear evidence that it’s functional and it’s in the vaccines at billions of copies per dose.”

He said regulators “seem to be running cover for Pharma.”

🚨 Do COVID Vaccines ‘Shed’? Study of Menstrual Irregularities Highlights Need for More Research

Women who didn’t get a COVID-19 vaccine and didn’t have a COVID-19 infection reported having many of the same menstrual abnormalities as women who received a COVID-19 vaccine, according to a new peer-reviewed study.

“Why didn’t our regulatory agencies conduct shedding studies before mass product rollout? This and many other critical questions demand immediate answers from federal authorities,” wrote Nicolas Hulscher, an epidemiologist at the McCullough Foundation, in a Substack post about the study.

⚠️ She Moved to a Rural Town to Escape City Life. Now PFAS Chemicals May Be Making Her Sick.

Juana Valle never imagined she’d be scared to drink water from her tap or eat fresh eggs and walnuts when she bought her five-acre farm in northern California three years ago. This year, researchers found worrisome levels of PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals,” in her well water.

🚨 Moderna Shuts Down mRNA RSV Vaccine Trial in Babies After Shots Linked to Severe Side Effects, FDA Document Reveals

The U.S. FDA disclosed this week in a briefing document that rather than protecting babies as anticipated, the vaccine likely caused higher rates of severe RSV illness among the vaccinated babies enrolled in the Phase 1 clinical trials.

Commenting on the briefing document, Dr. Meryl Nass, an internist, told The Defender:

“FDA is trying to cover itself, to avoid claims of negligence. It should have anticipated VAERD, because it happened before in RSV trials — and killed babies — and because it is happening now with the COVID vaccines, which, after roughly 6 months, depending on age and dose, make the recipient more likely to get COVID.”
