• Women with Alzheimer’s Disease have much lower levels of highly unsaturated fats particularly omega-3 fatty acids like DHA, compared to healthy individuals. Researchers publishing in Choroba Alzheimera i demencja didn’t find the same pattern in men. The findings add to the mountain of existing science showing the vital role of maintaining healthy omega-3 levels for cognitive resilience as we age.
• Lifelong social hardships such as poor education, food insecurity, and limited healthcare, leave lasting marks on the brain. Known as the social exposome, this accumulation of adversity predicts poorer cognition, mental health, and altered brain structure, even increasing dementia risk later in life. Researchers, publishing in Nature Communications, found these effects in both healthy ageing and dementia, showing that adversity becomes biologically “embedded” in brain networks. The message is clear: good brain health starts in childhood. Tackling life’s traumas early — may be one of our most powerful tools for preventing dementia.

• A new US clinical trial, BackInAction, funded by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) in adults 65+, found that acupuncture eased chronic lower back pain more effectively than usual medical treatment and the benefits lasted up to a year. Even better? No adverse effects were reported. Proof that natural therapies can be powerful, safe, and evidence-based.

As rates of autism and other neurodevelopmental issues in children continue to rise at unprecedented rates, we look at recent scientific findings that remind us of the complex and multifactorial nature of such issues and the urgency in preventing ongoing harms:

• In 1998 Andy Wakefield raised a red flag linking vaccines to autism, but lost in the furore of his now retracted paper were his findings that autistic children often suffered from poor gut health. A finding that has been replicated many times since by scientists and parents alike. A new paper published in Autyzm once again affirms the link between impaired gut health and autism, finding autistic children are more likely to experience a range of gut issues, which affect their behaviours, sleep, communication and sensory processing
• Gestational diabetes may put children at higher risk of developmental delays, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism. An unpublished systematic review and meta-analysis presented at the Annual Meeting of The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) reported children born to mothers with gestational diabetes had lower IQs, were 36% more likely to develop ADHD and were at a 56% increased risk of developing autism
• When the US government announced that there’s a possible link between the use of acetaminophen (paracetemol/Tylenol) it caused an uproar and rush to dismiss the claims. However, this is far from the first time the alarm has been raised over the link between autism and acetaminophen use.

Attempts to stem growing rates of obesity include the demonisation and replacement of sugar with non-nutritive sweeteners (NNSs). The push to further reduce the sugar content of highly processed foods continues despite continued science showing the harms of NNSs.

• Nowe badania opublikowane w Neurologia, links the use of NNSs with cognitive decline. People who consume high levels of NNSs were found to have a 62% faster drop in cognitive function. The link was found to be even stronger in those with diabetes who tend to use more NNSs. Aspartame, saccharin, acesulfame-k, erythritol, sorbitol and xylitol were particularly associated with faster decline
• Sold as a healthy alternative to sugar-sweetened drinks those sweetened with NNSs actually increase the risk of developing liver disease according to new research presented at the United European Gastroenterology Week conference. Drinking a single can of diet soda a day can increase the risk of developing metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) by as much as 60% compared to sugar sweetened drinks, which increase the risk by 50%. Replacing such drinks whether sweetened with sugar or NNSs with water significantly reduces the risk of liver damage.

Big biotech companies are pushing hard for the EU to drop requirements for organisms created by new genomic techniques (NGTs) to be regulated, stating they’re the same as mutations found in nature, but they occur more quickly:

• A new policy brief from the DARWIN Project finds that reliable detection of organisms created using new genomic techniques (NGTs) is both technically feasible and vital for consumer trust. Using advanced PCR and genome sequencing tools, scientists can identify unique “genetic fingerprints” that reveal NGT modifications. However, this depends on one key factor: mandatory disclosure of genetic data by developers. The brief urges EU policymakers to uphold existing transparency and traceability standards, ensuring science-based monitoring of NGTs remains robust, affordable, and aligned with the public’s right to know what’s in their food
• The multiple problems caused by the UK’s deregulation of newer forms of gene editing e.g. NGTs, precision bred are outlined in a new report from campaign group, GM Freeze. The report reveals the health, environmental and socio-economic risks associated with the lack of safety testing, labelling and traceability of such products under the new regulations
• Corn rootworms are outsmarting GM technology by evolving resistance to virtually every biotech control created, proving once again that genetic modification isn’t the silver bullet it’s claimed to be for pest control. Data shared in a study published in PNAS also highlights the very real dangers to the environment from genetically modified organisms
• Recognising the threat from biotech and digital technologies to traditional farming in Africa, the first Pan-African Convening on the Future of Biodigital Technologies in Food and Agriculture has published a new Declaration to protect traditional farming systems, using agroecological systems to preserve local seed and food systems.

• A new study adds to the growing mountain of data suggesting vaping is far from the safer alternative to cigarette smoking that we’ve been told. Published in AJPM Focus, the study uses data collected during a survey conducted by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Those who used e-cigarettes were found to have a 7% increased risk of becoming prediabetic, while those who smoked traditional cigarettes had a 15% increased risk. Those who used both products had a 28% heightened risk of becoming prediabetic and were 9% more likely to develop diabetes. The results, which once again, show that vaping could be contributing to the development of long-term health issues make a mockery of the continued push to switch people from traditional cigarettes to the ‘safer’ alternative of vaping.
• As global institutions push top-down dietary blueprints like the EAT-Lancet “Planetary Health Diet,” the risks of one-size-fits-all food policies are becoming clear. A recent paper published in Meat and Muscle Biology, discusses such technocratic models, which favour lab-grown meat, precision fermentation, and plant-based substitutes, promise sustainability but remain unproven at scale and are detached from real-world complexity. History shows that rigid, centralised control of food systems can backfire, fuelling malnutrition, cultural loss, and environmental harm. The paper offers an alternative, more resilient and human-centered path, in the form of the Nourishment Table, which values nutrient adequacy, freedom of food choice, ecological stewardship and cultural diversity to build health and sustainability from the ground up, not the top down.

• As the World Health Organization (WHO) pushes for global control over pandemic response, the US has developed its own plan. We know the WHO plan is diametrically opposed to health freedom and ignores the role of natural medicine entirely. Does the America First plan address these problems? The Bottom Line might surprise you.
• Legislation has been introduced to the US House of Representatives to protect patient access to customised natural medicines. It needs Americans’ support to become law. Proszę podjąć działania!

Free Speech Threats

Censorship and inhibition of free speech continues around the world as governments move to tighten the screws on people’s freedom of speech and right to protest:

• Tech platform X is urging EU governments to reject a proposed regulation that would require mandatory scanning of private messages and files, warning it threatens core privacy rights and end-to-end encryption. Known as “Chat Control 2.0,” the law would inspect content on users’ devices before encryption, effectively creating government backdoors. Privacy experts and scientists highlight high error rates, false accusations, and potential misuse of flagged material. Encrypted messengers, cloud storage services, and VPN providers have signed an open letter urging EU ministers to reject the regulation.
• In Canada two organisers of the 2022 Freedom Convoy have been sentenced to house arrest and put under a curfew, a far less stringent punishment than that demanded by the prosecution, as the judge recognised they didn’t advocate violence and had the “noblest of intent” in organising the protest.
• A High Court ruling in India has led to the blocking of science resource sharing websites including Sci-Hub and Libgen, which share scientific studies housed behind paywalls. Without open access, knowledge becomes restricted to those who can afford it, slowing innovation and reinforcing inequality in science. Free access platforms like Sci-Hub, controversial as they are, highlight the urgent need for a more equitable system of sharing research.

• A new documentary – ‘An Inconvenient Study’ – exposes suppressed science as it hammers yet another nail into the ‘safe and effective’ narrative of childhood vaccines. In 2020 researchers from Henry Ford Health, in the US, analysed medical records comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children’s health. Confident the study would demonstrate better health outcomes for the vaccinated kids, the results turned the tables putting unvaccinated children’s health head and shoulders above that of the vaccinated kids. Fearing the repercussions of publishing the study, it’s lain unpublished until now, when it was revealed in front of a Senate Hearing by lawyer Aaron Siri. Watch An Inconvenient Study to find out more.
• Nowe badanie opublikowane w International Journal of Applied Biology & Pharmaceutical Technology puts paid to claims that covid ‘vaccines’ saved millions of lives as it finds no “solid empirical” evidence for the claim.
• A new preprint from Canadian researchers Denis G Rancourt and Joseph Hickey, also challenges claims that the covid ‘vaccines’ saved millions of lives arguing the claims are based on modelling studies that use flawed assumptions that led to dangerous conclusions. The Defender has more.
• A new international petition calls for an immediate halt to the use of mRNA vaccines along with the initiation of robust scientific debate from all sides of the scientific community on the benefit-harm balance of mRNA vaccines.
