PFAS chemicals — otherwise known as “forever” chemicals, or perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances — are some of the most persistent manmade chemicals on the planet. They can build up in our bodies, contaminate water sources, and break down into a smaller chemical called trifluoracetic acid — which is considered one of the world's most pervasive water pollutants and threatens aquatic and semiaquatic life.

Despite these risks the Trump administration has approved multiple PFAS-containing pesticides. These forever pesticides will treat massive swaths of corn, soy, fruits, and vegetables, resulting in polluted water and public health risks that last for generations.

Now led by former chemical industry lobbyists, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is trying to rapidly approve more PFAS pesticides — all while concealing their unacceptable harms.

Tell the EPA loud and clear: Stop approving forever pesticides that hurt people, wildlife, and the environment.

WE DID IT. READ the full press release: tinyurl.com/SynBioFoodDye

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.”

Cancer rates in Iowa can go down, but that's only if GMO/conventional farmers stop poisoning their communities.

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.
A bruise that won't stop spreading or a cut that won't clot. More isn't better. It's just more.
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.

Good News for France: Cosmetics and clothes made with PFAS, also known as forever chemicals, have officially been banned in France as of January 1, 2026. “This ban on PFAS in products like clothing and cosmetics is great news for French citizens worried about their exposure to these harmful chemicals,” says Sandra Bell of CHEM Trust, an organization dedicated to protecting humans and wildlife from harmful chemicals. “The not so good news is that some key products like cookware were exempted. Now France needs to get firmly behind an EU-wide restriction on PFAS ensuring more products are included and citizens of all member states are protected.” The EU says it has been working on a plan to phase out PFAS for the last couple of years, but has not yet implemented such a regulation.

Meanwhile, in the U.S., manufacturers are let off the hook. And polluters are allowed to keep polluting with no consequence, contaminating our drinking water and our bodies with these dangerous chemicals.

"The two years of silence from the Ministry of Economy (SE) despite four rulings to activate the mechanisms of the USMCA (free trade agreement between Mexico, the US and Canada) against the United States, for pressuring Mexico to import genetically modified corn (GM), respond to a strictly commercial interest, stated Mercedes López Martínez, common representative of the Collective Corn Lawsuit."
