  • Prof Gilles-Eric Seralini, whose work exposes and challenges Monsanto’s continued cover-up of the toxicity of glyphosate, is once again taking to the courts after journalists branded him a ‘fraudster’ and accused him of producing a ‘false’ study. Meanwhile, the intimidation and persecution of researchers investigating the harms of glyphosate and other herbicides, continues globally. A Canadian neurologist was threatened with disciplinary action after highlighting his concerns over the increasing numbers of young patients developing herbicide (including glyphosate) related neurological issues. In Brazil, Prof Larissa Bombardi, a geographer who exposed the dangers of pesticides to babies and children, was threatened and intimidated leading to her going into exile for her own safety, whilst Argentinian scientist, Dr Virginia Aparicio, who revealed disturbing data on the levels of pesticides in the blood, urine and stool of her patients, was threatened with prosecution if she didn’t withdraw the report she was due to present
  • A new preprint study reveals significant problems with the European Chemical Agency’s (ECHA) dismissal of evidence of glyphosate’s potential to damage DNA and promote the development of cancer leading to it branding glyphosate as non-carcinogenic. The ECHA’s deeply flawed assessment is being used by the European Commission as the basis of a proposal to extend the use of glyphosate in Member States. A coalition of EU health groups are calling for a full ban on glyphosate following publication of the paper. The Pesticide Action Network (PAN) Europe has more

  • Prominent natural health advocate, Dr Joseph Mercola, has lost a case against YouTube for breach of contract and denying him access to his own videos, after YouTube deleted his channel. The judge dismissed the complaint and held that it is up to the platform to withdraw content that it deems “injurious” to its users, giving the video platform giant, carte blanche to police content as it deems appropriate thus setting a dangerous precedent for the ongoing censorship of material countering ‘allowed’ opinions.

  • New legislation, being introduced in the UK, will give utility companies the power to enter any property to install a smart meter, with or without the consent of the occupant. The clause, which is part of the UK Energy Bill currently going through Parliament, gives authorities the right to apply ‘reasonable force’ to enter homes and install smart meters. The installation of smart meters gives energy companies the ability to control and/or switch off individual consumer’s energy supplies at will. The David Craig writing in the Daily Sceptic discusses the Bill and its impact in more detail
  • Not only can smart meters be used to control energy usage they also collect vast quantities of data along with many other smart home devices that are now part of the rapidly growing Internet of Things. The level to which smart devices are watching us and being used to harvest massive quantities of data, often not required for the devices to function, is revealed in new research from consumer champion Which? The report makes stark reading and should be a wake up call as the world we think we control, is wrested from our grip one stealthy step after another.

  • Food emulsifiers, widely used in ultra-processed foods, have been implicated in the rise of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases that are now being seen in populations globally. The blame for the rise is being placed fairly and squarely on damage to the gut environment and microbiota from the consumption of emulsifiers, more often than not in ultra-processed foods, according to a new study analysing data from the NutriNet-Santé e-cohort, published in The BMJ.
