NO HUMAN FOOD as
Syntimmunehetic Agrochemicals (e.g., Pesticides like Glyphosate): Recent reviews link them to reproductive harms (e.g., decreased fertility), developmental defects, and increased risks of cancers A 2025 Frontiers in Endocrinology topic highlights glyphosate's estrogenic effects and thyroid interference, exacerbating neonatal mortality and neurotoxicity in vulnerable groups like children. Kennedy'scommidentifies these as root causes of chronic epidemics.
Plastic-Derived Endocrine Disruptors (e.g., Bisphenols like BPA/BPS, Phthalates): 2025 studies show they leach from packaging and microplastics, disrupting hormones and contributing to obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, birth defects, and intellectual impairment.A PubMed review notes micro/nanoplastics release EDCs affecting future generations via reproductive and developmental disruptions. Projections: If exposures continue, 200-700 million fewer global births by 2100. Phthalates are tied to metabolic disorders in children.
PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances): EPA's 2025 update confirms links to reproductive issues (e.g., high blood pressure in pregnancy), developmental delays (low birth weight, behavioral changes), cancers (prostate, kidney, testicular), weakened immunity (reduced vaccine response), cholesterol spikes, and liver enzyme changes. A 2025 ATSDR report adds associations with broader effects like accelerated puberty and bone variations.j 98% of Americans have PFAS in blood; costs from one type (PFOA) exceed $5.5 billion yearly.
Petrochemical Additives (e.g., Dyes, Preservatives): NIH's 2025 analysis flags additives like azo dyes for cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, and endocrine disruption, raising risks of hypertension, CVD, diabetes, and cancers. Kennedy's dye ban addresses ADHD/cancer links; industry pushback claims costs outweigh benefits.
Industrial Heat By-Products (e.g., from Processing): Limited 2025-2026 specifics, but tied to broader ultra-processed food harms like inflammation and microbiome disruption.mFossil fuel-derived EDCs (e.g., from plastics/heating) are linked to hormonal interference in a 2024 NEJM review, extended in 2025 discussions.
Artificial Sweeteners: FASEB's August 2025 study shows they perturb gut microbiomes, exacerbating inflammation and metabolic diseases in animal models; human links to diabetes and obesity noted.Guidelines advise avoidance.
Gut-Altering Emulsifiers: 2025 epidemiological data connects them to microbiota dysbiosis, higher noncommunicable disease risks (e.g., type 2 diabetes, cancers).New guidelines highlight microbiome health for the first time.
