GMO/Toxin Free USA forced a delay in the FDA's approval of Phytolon's Beetroot Red food dye, produced with Synthetic Biology (SynBio), an extreme form of genetic engineering. The dye would have been allowed into the food supply labeled "natural" and "no artificial colors." It's a real win—but it will only last if we can keep fighting.![]()

The FDA wrote, "As of March 20, 2026, the effective date of the final order published February 6, 2026 (91 FR 5295) is delayed indefinitely... We received a submission from GMO/Toxin Free USA containing objections that meet the conditions set forth in 21 CFR 12.22 to initiate a stay of the effective date of the final order."![]()

But the FDA hasn't changed its position on the "safety" of the synthetic dye. The next phase will require even more research and public advocacy to either keep unsafe and misleading products off the market or require them to bear truthful GMO labels. We need to know what we're eating.![]()

NEW REPORT: Iowans are suffering from higher rates of more than a dozen types of cancers linked to pesticides and pollutants than the rest of the country, with researchers saying the risk of pesticide exposure alone may rival that of smoking, according to a new report by the Iowa Environmental Council and The Harkin Institute. Iowa has the second-highest rate of cancer in the nation and is only one of three states where cancer is rising. For many types of cancer, the state’s numbers dwarf national averages. The report found that 13 of the 16 types of cancer — including breast cancer, brain cancer, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and prostate cancer — that are linked to pesticides, PFAS 'Forever Chemicals', nitrate and radon exposure are afflicting Iowans at much higher rates than the U.S. population. The report authors stressed that cancer is complex and cannot be pinned on one driver alone, but said their research suggests the loads of pesticides, fertilizer, manure and other pollutants are likely making Iowans sick. “We have some of the highest use of pesticides in the entire country and we also have some of the highest nitrate levels in our waterways in the country,” said Adam Shriver, co-author of the report and a director at The Harkin Institute. “Those chemicals are probably playing a pretty significant role in Iowa’s crisis.”![]()

Aloe vera, cayenne, cinnamon, garlic, ginger, ginkgo. turmeric, white willow bark, and fish oil have all been used to fight inflammation. They also can act as blood.thinners. Vitamins C and Vit E (d-alpha form) can have an anti coagulant effect also. Take them together, especially alongside Warfarin, and you've quietly built a combination that can cause serious bleeding issues. ![]()

But in contrast, if you are getting black and blue from minor bumps, Vitamin C with bioflavonoids, rutin, and hesperidin can help support the health and integrity of your blood vessels for less blood leakage.
