- We live in a chemical soup. A multitude of industrial and agricultural chemicals, that have limited safety testing, bombard us daily. It’s therefore of no surprise to find that many of those chemicals harm our gut microbiome. A new study published in Natureza Microbiologia found 168 chemicals directly damage 22 species of gut bacteria in the lab. The research once again underscores the threat to human and environmental health from the vast myriad of chemicals routinely used in our everyday lives.
- Pregnant women who drink water laced with PFAS chemicals (forever chemicals) are at higher risk of having a premature birth, low-weight baby or their baby dying within its first year of life. Researchers publishing in PNAS, using data from New Hampshire in the US, found that mothers who drank from water systems below sites contaminated with PFAS had a 43% higher chance of having a low-weight baby, a 20% greater risk of a preterm birth and a 191% risk of their baby dying than those drinking water from upstream sources. The data is a stark reminder of just how harmful forever chemicals are to human and environmental health, yet regulators continue to kow tow to industry pressure to water down and even reverse regulations.
- The presence of PFAS in sub-Antarctic birds has sounded alarm bells as it highlights the pervasiveness and global spread of the toxic chemicals. A new study published in ACS Environmental Au, reports the presence of 22 different PFAS, in the livers of three species of Antarctic birds between 2004 and 2014.

- Social media is amplifying the supposed benefits of vaping, hooking in gullible teenagers to take up a habit that could cost them their health. A new op-ed in A Conversação shares how far vaping has drifted from its original purpose to become embedded in youth culture .

- At the beginning of December the World Health Organization (WHO) published a statement declaring that a “new analysis” by the Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety, reaffirms that vaccines don’t cause autism. Unsurprisingly, the conclusion of the analysis is not supported by the evidence cited and ignores a multitude of evidence indicating vaccines, or their components, may contribute to the onset of autism in susceptible individuals. James Lyons-Weiler PhD breaks down the report’s shortcomings, concluding an honest scientific view would acknowledge what we don’t yet know, recognise that risks differ between people, admit the limitations of the studies, and accept that more research is needed to understand how things actually work.
- Bayer’s attempts to gain political immunity from prosecution have taken a new turn as the Trump Administration told the US Supreme Court it should hear Bayer’s appeal against previous rulings. Bayer is also pushing for state and federal legislation to prevent further lawsuits based on failure-to-warn claims. Were Bayer to be successful in getting legal immunity, it would set a nasty precedent that could have long-reaching effects above and beyond the pesticide industry.
- Long-term users of statins are more likely to experience a reduction in muscle function and mass. Published in the Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, using data from the UK Biobank, a new study associates continuous statin use with a 25% decline in grip strength and 73% in lean muscle mass.

- HPV vaccines are often described as being 90–100% effective, but this figure refers to relative risk reduction, not the real-world benefit for each individual. When the original trial data were re-examined by Dr Ron Brown (here and here) using absolute risk reduction—the actual difference between vaccinated and unvaccinated women—he found the benefit is much smaller, typically around 0.5–1% over several years. In practice, this means many dozens or even hundreds of women must be vaccinated to prevent a single case of precancerous cervical lesions, because the underlying risk is already low. Despite this, the World Health Organization continues to promote large-scale vaccination campaigns using headline inducing relative figures, while omitting absolute risk reductions that better reflect clinical impact. This lack of transparency matters: for public trust and informed consent, people deserve clear communication about what vaccines can—and cannot—realistically achieve.

Nova pesquisa publicada em Natureza using data from the Zoe PREDICT programme in the UK and US, defines a “healthy” gut by ranking the top 50 microbial species linked to positive or negative health. Researchers also investigated the role of diet and supplementation on the microbiomes of participants While this framework is being promoted as a major advance for tracking gut health, it only considered bacterial species and oversimplifies a complex, highly individual ecosystem that may not translate reliably across diverse populations.
Atualização da ANH-USA
- Despite concerted efforts by federal agencies and pharma-driven media, more and more Americans are turning to food supplements to improve and support their health and wellbeing. New data shows supplement use jumped nearly 20% in 2021-2023 across all demographics. ANH is preparing to unblock the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) 25-year ban on truthful science-based information to help people decide what nutrients to use.

- GLP-1 drugs are becoming the go to ‘treatment’ for obesity globally. In the U.S. the Trump Administration has negotiated lower costs for the drugs, potentially deepening people’s dependence on them. Emerging evidence lists a growing list of serious adverse reactions whilst masking serious metabolic dysfunction. Are we trading short-term gain for lifelong pharmaceutical dependence? Leia mais...
Free Speech Threats
- You Tube’s draconian censorship systems are set to become even more authoritarian as it looks to ‘supercharge’ its existing system. A system that’s already wrongly removed content creators, such as ANH, without recourse. Reclaim the Net has the full story of how our ability to freely share content is being arbitrarily curbed by powerful corporates.
- Regulators around the globe are watching the impact of Australia’s recent social media ban for children under the age of 16. The ban has also instigated the need for adults to age verify online. In the UK, government ministers are, so far, being cautious about introducing such a system, however proposed amendments to the Children’s Wellbeing and School Bill would mandate virtually all new smartphone and tablets include built-in non-removable surveillance software to combat the production and sharing of child sexual abuse material. Such a system would, in effect, turn such devices into systems capable of monitoring all private communications, without user consent, that once installed could easily be turned to monitor other types of communications removing all rights of privacy and free expression.
- Do you use Spotify? Have you ever considered the amount of data it collects to be able to present Spotify Wrapped each year? Something people now look forward to shows just how quickly such data collection has been normalised. Known as datafication–it’s turning everyday behaviour into trackable, monetisable data–allowing corporates and others, to profit from our free time and nudge our choices and behaviours without us even realising it!
Post-covid related
- Nova pesquisa publicada em Medicina Translacional Científica suggests that cases of myocarditis (heart inflammation) following mRNA covid vaccination may be linked to an overactive immune response involving two inflammatory signalling molecules, CXCL10 and interferon-γ. In lab studies and animal models, blocking these signals reduced signs of heart injury, while exposing heart cells to them caused abnormal beating, stress and inflammation. The study also found that genistein, a plant-based compound, reduced these harmful effects.
