Super-processed packaged foods have become prevalent in U.S. diets — and experts are warning of the potential effects.

Recent research has shown that 60% of Americans' daily caloric intake comes from ultra-processed foods (UPFs).

A study published by the BMJ revealed that exposure to UPFs was associated with 32 poor health outcomes, including mental, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and metabolic complications.

Some of the linked conditions include cancer, heart disease, metabolic syndrome, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes.

While America's diet is 60% ultra-processed overall, registered dietitian nutritionist Ilana Muhlstein warned that consumption among American kids is even higher than that.

"With children, it's actually over 70%," the Los Angeles-based expert told Fox News Digital. "That is really wild when you think about it."

Alarming rise of 'super-fit' slim young people suffering heart attacks- what could it be?

heart attack
Heart attacks were once thought of as a disease of age - but worrying new data shows they are increasing in healthy young adults.

Roughly 0.3 percent of Americans aged 18-44 had a heart attack in 2019 - but last year that rose to 0.5 percent, or one in 200.

While that may still seem like a relatively low number, it represents a 66 percent increase in cases in just four years, which doctors call 'alarming.' It also means that one in five heart attack patients are now younger than 40.

Comment: A cliff notes version of this article would be: "Young people are dying and it has nothing to do with the experimental gene therapy that was pushed vehemently for four years, the end".

The Australian Government should immediately suspend the use of Pfizer and Moderna Covid vaccines due to accumulating evidence of high levels of synthetic DNA contamination in the shots, which present a "substantial risk" of genomic integration and long-term health impacts, including cancers, say leading scientists and academics.

In a letter to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Russell Broadbent, independent MP for the federal seat of Monash, said that "immediate action through a suspension of these products is critical to mitigate further risk", after independent testing of Australian vials of modified RNA (mod-RNA) Covid vaccines detected residual synthetic DNA at levels up to 145 above the legal limit.

The letter, circulated to all Australian MPs and Senators, is co-signed by 52 scientists and academics, many at the top of their fields, including Professor of Oncology Angus Dalgleish, Emeritus Professor Wendy Hoy, an expert in chronic disease, Emeritus Professor Robert Clancy, an immunologist who developed a bronchitis vaccine, geneticist Professor Alexandra Henrion Caude and microbiologist Professor Sucharit Bhakdi MD.

retraction
Vaccine manufacturer sues researchers for defamation and demands retraction of a study describing adverse events after covid-19 vaccination.

A vaccine manufacturer based in India launched defamation proceedings against researchers who published a study that reported adverse events in people following covid-19 vaccination.

The manufacturer also sued the editor of the international journal which published the study and demanded that the offending article be retracted immediately.

The peer-reviewed study

The study at the centre of the controversy is a post-marketing safety analysis (phase IV) of Covaxin, one of India's homegrown covid-19 vaccines.

The researchers concluded that serious adverse events of special interest (AESI) after vaccination "might not be uncommon" and that the majority of AESIs in people persisted "for a significant period."

Of the 635 participants involved, one-third reported developing AESIs such as new-onset skin disorders, nervous system disorders, menstrual and ocular abnormalities.

Comment: It appears that Big Pharma's tentacles extend world-wide.

Best of the Web: Stunning new research paper suggests Covid jabs sharply raise the risk of death or heart failure after heart attacks

The risk appeared particularly high in vaccinated people who have also had Covid (which at this point is almost everyone), Spanish researchers found.

Being vaccinated against Covid sharply increased the risk heart attack patients would die or suffer heart failure after heart attacks, a new Spanish study shows.

Over a six-month period after their heart attacks, Covid vaccinated patients had nearly double the risk of unjabbed ones. The risk appeared concentrated in patients who were both vaccinated and had had Covid before their heart attacks.

The researchers examined outcomes from almost 1,000 heart attack patients from March 2020 through March 2023 in a Madrid hospital. They found vaccinated and previously infected patients had an over 50 percent higher risk of death or heart failure than unvaccinated people who had also been previously infected - and a 90 percent higher risk than those who were unvaccinated and previously uninfected.

Disturbing differences between batches of Pfizer's Covid vaccines in the Czech Republic

Covid Vaccine
Some time ago, the so-called 'Danish study' swept through the digital underground. The authors showed that Pfizer's Covid vaccines in Denmark had a suspicious safety profile: A few small batches, distributed early in the campaign, were associated with unacceptably high number of adverse events (almost one in 10 recipients reported an AE), while the later batches showed orders of magnitude less AEs. Even more fascinating than the study itself was the story how difficult it was to get it published.

We could not wait to repeat the study in the Czech Republic. We asked the State Institute for Drug Control (SUKL) for similar data. We reported the results in an article for the European Journal of Clinical Investigation. Our findings are even more disturbing than that of the Danish team.

From the start of the vaccination campaign until the beginning of summer 2023, the Czech SUKL received a total of 14,386 reports of suspected AEs for covid vaccines. This number far exceeds the number of AEs reported for all other drugs combined in normal years.

Incredibly, the SUKL did not bother to link the AE reports with the corresponding batch numbers for almost half of the reported AEs. Even in the case of death after a vaccine (216 reported cases), SUKL did not pair 117 of the deaths to a batch number. This is serious negligence, especially because information about batch numbers is readily available in another state-run database. Both these databases are easy to pair though the so-called "birth number" which is a compulsory state-provided citizen ID in the Czech Republic. What if all the 117 deaths for which the SUKL did not bother to trace the batch came from a single batch of vaccine? How would the SUKL recognise that this batch is a mortal threat to the Czech population and that it is necessary to pull it out urgently, which is its legal obligation?

Comment: Or maybe there is a possibility that the vaccine produced by Pfizer to receive EUA was made to be much safer, and then the vaccine injected into billions of people was intentionally altered, not by manufacturing error, for some nefarious purpose.

A new investigation led by Friends of the Earth found an alarming number of pesticide residues in baby food manufactured and sold by Target (NYSE: TGT) under its house brand Good & Gather.

Lab tests of two items — the non-organic apple and the pear fruit purees for babies — revealed the presence of 21 pesticides, including 12 classified as highly hazardous to human health or the environment.

Neonicotinoid pesticides were present in 100% of the baby food samples tested. These chemicals have been linked to birth defects of the heart and brain, learning disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, damage to the nervous system and hormone disruption.

US officials concerned over unexplained bird flu infection in man

© Reuters/Randall HillFILE: Chickens feed from a row of feed bins at C&A Farms in Fairmont, North Carolina, USA. US health officials say they don't know how a patient in Missouri contracted bird flu.
This year in the United States, 14 people have tested positive for avian influenza, or bird flu. Nine of those became infected after coming into contact with poultry, and four got the virus from exposure to dairy cows. The source of the remaining, most recent case remains a mystery.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the case on September 6. Initially detected by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, it is the first known case of human bird flu in the country with no known exposure to a sick or infected animal. On Thursday, health officials said they hadn't determined how the person acquired the virus.

"Right now, evidence points to this being a one-off case," said Nirav Shah, the CDC's principal deputy director, during a news briefing.

Comment: There are a number of obvious possible sources not mentioned, including the US biowarfare laboratories - such as Fort Detrick which was the likely source of Covid - meat which has been contaminated, the polluted water supply, or a person recently vaccinated with the bird flu vaccine who may be shedding the virus:

The rate of depression among Americans has reached a new high

Depression chart
According to survey data, three in ten people in the United States had been clinically diagnosed with depression at a point in their lives in 2023.

As Statista's Anna Fleck points out in the chart, this is the highest rate since the question started being asked, up 10.6 percentage points from 2015. The rate of increase was particularly steep in the first year of the pandemic, jumping up from 22.9 percent in 2020 to 28.6 percent in 2021.

Meanwhile, 17.8 percent of respondents said that they currently had depression in 2023.

These averages hide figures even more extreme, as Gallup data reveals how rates among women, young adults, as well as Black and Hispanic respondents have risen particularly fast.

According to the survey, 36.7 percent of women report having been diagnosed with depression in their lifetimes versus 20.4 percent of men. For young people aged 18-29, 34.3 percent had been diagnosed with depression, while for 30-44 year olds it was 34.9 percent. Lifetime depression rates among Black and Hispanic adults have now surpassed those of White respondents.

Comment: Causation: Given unrelentingly devastating news, scare tactics, 'change' agendas and purposed propaganda aimed to defy and undermine an individual's coping skills and destabilize vast numbers of people, it would seem the PTB are achieving target.

Florida Surgeon General advises against use of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines

Covid Vaccines
The Florida Department of Health (Department) is reminding health care providers of the importance of remaining up to date with current literature related to COVID-19 vaccines and boosters, and the importance of providing patients with informed consent.

On August 22, 2024, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved and authorized updated versions of mRNA vaccines from Pfizer-BioNtech and Moderna. The FDA approved the vaccine for people 12 and older and provided emergency use authorization for children 6 months to 11 years old. The stated target of these boosters is the Omicron variant which is not causing a significant number of infections.

The most recent booster approval was granted in the absence of booster-specific clinical trial data performed in humans. Furthermore, this booster does not protect against the currently dominant strain, accounting for approximately 37% of infections in the United States. There are currently limited data to inform whether these boosters offer any substantial protection against the virus and subsequent circulating variants. Although randomized clinical trials are normally used to approve therapeutics, the federal government has not required COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers to demonstrate their boosters prevent hospitalizations or death from COVID-19 illness.
