Industry Lobbying Group Sues West Virginia to Overturn Ban On Synthetic Food Dyes. The International Association of Color Manufacturers (IACM), a shadowy lobbying group representing Big Food that refuses to disclose its corporate members, is suing West Virginia to overturn a first-in-the-nation law passed in March. The law will ban synthetic, petroleum-based dyes Blue No. 1, Blue No. 2, Green No. 3, Red No. 3, Red No. 40, Yellow No. 5, Yellow No. 6 — along with preservatives butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and propylparaben — in all food sold in the state in 2028.![]()

With many of the largest Big Food corporations claiming they will voluntarily remove synthetic food dyes from their products within the next several years, what is the point of suing WV and WASTING taxpayer dollars to fight the lawsuit? Could it be that Big Food’s public statements are just an effort to manipulate the public and these companies have no intention of voluntarily removing these toxins?![]()

We are not asking you to sign the petition. We just wanted you to to know the latest news on glyphosateTell the White House & Congress to direct the EPA to ban glyphosate. SIGN THE PETITION: tinyurl.com/BanGlyphosateNow![]()
REGULATORY APPROVAL OF GLYPHOSATE WAS BASED ON FRAUD: The study that served as the cornerstone of regulators’ assessment of glyphosate's safety and lead to EPA approvals of glyphosate-based herbicides, has now been retracted. This happened just last week. It has been revealed that the study, “Safety Evaluation and Risk Assessment of the Herbicide Roundup and Its Active Ingredient, Glyphosate, for Humans,” was ghostwritten by Monsanto. The Editor-in-Chief of Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, which published the study in 2000, cites these reasons for its retraction:![]()
1. The study's conclusions regarding the carcinogenicity of glyphosate are based solely on unpublished studies from Monsanto.![]()
2. The authors did not include multiple long-term chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity studies that had already been published at the time of writing their review in 1999.![]()
3. Litigation has revealed that employees of Monsanto contributed to the writing of the study without proper acknowledgment as co-authors. The failure to disclose the involvement of Monsanto personnel in the writing process compromises the academic independence of the presented findings and conclusions drawn in the article regarding carcinogenicity.![]()
4. The authors of the study did not disclose that they were financially compensated by Monsanto, raising significant ethical concerns, and calling into question the academic objectivity of the authors.![]()
5. The sole surviving author of the study, Gary M. Williams, has refused to respond to the Editor-in-Chief of Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology.![]()
![]()
In light of this new and indisputable change in evidence, EPA’s registrations of glyphosate-based herbicides like Bayer-Monsanto’s Roundup must be revoked. Since the current EPA is fully corrupt, with chemical industry lobbyists occupying every position of management, it’s the duty of the President and Congress to do their jobs and protect Americans.
