Vitamin D Could Help Extend Your Life
What are your vitamin D levels? If you’re not sure, getting tested — and then optimizing your levels — could help you live longer. While low vitamin D levels have long been associated with increased risk of death, data on severely deficient individuals are lacking. Now, it’s been shown that people genetically predisposed to vitamin D deficiency were 25% more likely to die from any cause compared to those with different genetics conducive to healthy vitamin D levels.

Your Health Data – Exploitation of the Most Precious Commodity
Data – as intangible as it might seem – has fast become the world’s most valuable commodity. Tangible commodities like ‘black gold’ (oil) – think here of oil giants like Exxon Mobil, BP and Chevron – will be in decline given the environmentally justified push against fossil fuels. Stocks in computer hardware (think Apple, Lenovo, Dell, etc) and software (think Microsoft, Oracle and Adobe) have grown immeasurably over the last few decades, but as we approach saturation in some markets, growth is slowing.

Durbin’s Supplement Attack for 2022: Defeated?

ANH Scores Big Win for Supplement Science
We are excited to share a monumental victory that has come about as a direct result of ANH-USA advocacy. In 2014, the FDA started applying drug rules to research being conducted on nutrients. This caused university research on nutrients to slow or even stop in some cases, depriving us of knowledge that could be deployed to support our health. After years of pressure from ANH, the FDA has finally relented; the agency has issued a proposed rule that will allow more research to be done on nutrients without triggering drug rules. We couldn’t have accomplished this without our dedicated grassroots activists, so we thank you! Read more.

Preserve Local Democracy and Right for Communities to Restrict Pesticide Use
As the new 118th Congress convenes on January 3, 2023, one of the key issues on the agenda led by Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives is preemption of local authority to restrict pesticide use—undercutting the local democratic process to protect public health and safety. In the 117th Congress, H.R. 7266 was introduced to prohibit local governments from adopting pesticide laws that are more protective than federal rules. Read more.
