YOU are in charge of your health— NOT the government



The “Make America Healthy Again” spin on Trump’s original slogan has undoubtedly stolen the hearts of health-minded Americans everywhere, but Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” isn’t completely sold.

“I think most people really like that idea,” he says. “We are going down a road, we’re not necessarily the healthiest people. Obesity is through the roof. There are a lot of long-term diseases out there. And so you have to kind of look at this and say, ‘Well, you know, how can we solve these problems?’”

Burguiere, who admits that he has just eaten Cheez-Its himself and gave his son Welch’s fruit snacks, doesn’t believe he’ll “make it in the ‘Make America Healthy Again’ world.”

“I can’t survive in that world, I have too much processed food,” he says, noting that healthy food isn’t the only thing RFK Jr. would be overseeing. “There are a lot of really important decisions being made by the HHS secretary as it relates to something like abortion.”


“If you’re a pro-life person, a lot of those funding decisions, the ease of being able to get chemical abortion pills mailed to you, those are all decisions that were at the HHS level. When Donald Trump was president the first time, he made decisions to restrict those efforts for abortion. Will RFK Jr. do the same thing?” Burguiere asks.

RFK Jr. has also critiqued products like Banana Boat sunscreen for children, which Burguiere isn’t quite on board with either.

“I’m going to go out on a limb here and say you should put sunscreen on your kids when they’re out in the sun. That’s just my opinion. Again, I might be out of the mainstream now,” he explains.

“So many people live in a constant state of fear trying to avoid every ingredient,” he continues. “Relax, live a little, enjoy your life. Indulge occasionally, like on Thanksgiving. Outside of really limited exceptions like allergies, you’re a pretty resilient creature. You can eat fun things and you can be perfectly fine.”

“I’m a conservative. I want smaller government. I don’t want Michael Bloomberg telling me what size soda I can drink, I don’t want Michelle Obama telling me when to move, and I don’t want RFK Jr. micromanaging my micronutrients,” he adds.

Americans Must Not Confuse ‘Healthier’ With ‘Healthy’

RFK Jr.’s confirmation would be a blow to Big Pharma and a big win for health



The Washington, D.C., Beltway publications left no doubt about who stood to lose the most after President Trump nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of health and human services.

Politico highlighted the uproar, reporting fierce opposition from Washington lobbyists to Trump’s decision to place Kennedy at the helm of the $3 trillion health agency. Kennedy’s proposals — tighter pesticide regulations, re-examining vaccine safety, banning processed foods in schools, and overhauling health and food agencies — pose significant threats to corporate profits. Caught off guard, lobbyists are now scrambling to block Kennedy’s Senate confirmation and leveraging connections to minimize risks.

RFK Jr. has consistently unveiled critical truths and fought for transparency in public health.

As a physician committed to my patients, my community, and my country, I fully support Kennedy’s nomination. His lifelong dedication to health, safety, and medical autonomy makes him the ideal candidate for this vital Cabinet position. President Trump deserves praise for this bold and courageous choice.

The United States faces an epidemic of poor health. Over 80% of adults suffer from at least one chronic illness, while obesity rates among children and adults have reached record highs. Simultaneously, drug prices and health care costs continue to soar. Substance abuse plagues society, and mental illness rates rise every year. The role of secretary of health and human services requires a leader with diverse expertise, a broad perspective, and a deep understanding of both health care and the forces shaping the system.

For decades, Kennedy has worked tirelessly for the health and welfare of America’s children. Despite relentless accusations of spreading “disinformation” and “conspiracy theories,” Kennedy is not “anti-vaccine.” Instead, he has championed transparency in vaccine efficacy and injury data, which threatens powerful profit-driven interests. Even the treatments he promoted for COVID-19, such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine — once dismissed as “discredited” — have quietly and surreptitiously returned to good standing.

RFK Jr. has consistently unveiled critical truths and fought for transparency in public health. He revealed that no double-blind randomized controlled trials exist for childhood vaccines on the CDC's schedule, a fact that demands scrutiny. Kennedy has also investigated disparities in disease prevalence, finding higher rates of autoimmune diseases, neurological disorders, allergies, and autism in vaccinated populations compared to unvaccinated ones, raising questions that require answers, not dismissal.

Kennedy has vowed to end the financial ties between pharmaceutical companies and medical journals, which have eroded research integrity and left physicians without trustworthy sources of unbiased data. He advocates removing harmful additives, such as trans fats, artificial coloring, and preservatives, from America’s food supply — ingredients banned in many other countries.

Kennedy is also committed to ending pharmaceutical advertising on television, a practice unique to the United States and New Zealand, which compromises media independence. His approach prioritizes the four pillars of medical ethics — autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence, and justice — seeking to restore medical autonomy, personal sovereignty, and an end to mandates that strip individuals of choice.

I understand that Kennedy’s nomination to oversee the massive federal health apparatus is threatening to many, including those associated with the pharmaceutical industry, doctors and the health care systems that employ them, lobbyists, insurance companies, media outlets that have become accustomed to massive pharmaceutical advertising dollars, and the food industry that maximizes profits by using inexpensive but toxic ingredients. But we need qualified leadership at HHS that prioritizes science, the protection of public health, and the well-being of all Americans. The health and future of our country depend on it.

Change, especially radical change, can be difficult — especially for those who have financially and professionally benefited from the status quo. However, our health care system is desperately in need of radical change, which is why I urge the Senate to confirm Kennedy’s appointment quickly so that he can begin the much-needed work to mend our health care system and to make America healthy again.

New York Times authors bash RFK Jr. for criticizing Froot Loops, but common sense gets in the way



RFK Jr., who President-elect Trump has tapped to head Health and Human Services, may have been caught indulging in a McDonald’s Big Mac, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to allow the international chain to continue using chemical additives and seed oils in its products once he assumes office.

Of course, now that Kennedy is team Trump, the left has turned on both him and his proposed health policies.

“The corporate press and their audience of sheep, I mean open-minded liberals, have now pivoted to defending junk food,” says Dave Landau.

The New York Times, for example, released an article attacking Kennedy’s criticism of American Froot Loops, which contain several artificial ingredients.

In an interview with MSNBC earlier this month, Kennedy told the network, “Why do we have Froot Loops in this country that have 18 or 19 ingredients and you go to Canada and it has two or three?”

In the article, author Christina Jewett and Julie Creswell stated:

“Mr. Kennedy has singled out Froot Loops as an example of a product with too many artificial ingredients, questioning why the Canadian version has fewer than the U.S. version. But he was wrong. The ingredient list is roughly the same, although Canada’s has natural colorings made from blueberries and carrots while the U.S. product contains red dye 40, yellow 5 and blue 1 as well as Butylated hydroxytoluene, a lab-made chemical that is used ‘for freshness,’ according to the ingredient label.”

“So one has fruit and vegetables, and the other has cyanide and rat poison,” says Dave.

The criticism isn’t just coming from the corporate media, however. Some social media users have begun “chugging seed oil” to prove that it’s not bad for you. Dave plays a clip of one young man downing a glass of canola oil.

Calley Means: RFK Jr.'s radical plan for HHS



Former Coca-Cola lobbyist Calley Means first caught Liz Wheeler's eye when he spoke out about the company using “racism” to force the government into putting its product on the food stamps program.

“I thought, ‘What an extraordinary story. This exemplifies the corruption, the ideological corruption, the financial corruption, that is in our health care industry. This revolving door between Big Food and Big Pharma and the federal government,’” Wheeler says.

Now, Means is an adviser to RFK Jr. in the Make America Healthy Again movement that’s taken America by storm.

“I’ve gone from when President Trump first came down that golden escalator ten years ago thinking he’s a threat to democracy to believing that this election is by far the most important victory of our lifetime and, I think, a historic moment in American history where I’ve never been more excited about a president being elected,” Means tells Wheeler.


Wheeler is also thrilled by what’s to come.

“By marrying ‘Make America Great Again’ with ‘Make America Healthy Again,’” Wheeler explains that RFK Jr. and President Trump are telling those with autoimmune diseases, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and obesity that “you don’t have to suffer this.”

And RFK’s plan to ensure they don’t have to suffer as they have been is the best part.

“We’ve heard a couple of promises from Bobby in the past couple days. One of my favorite ones is that he’s going to take all the nutritional scientists out of HHS and either fire them on day one, or if he’s not allowed to fire them, he’s going to build a new headquarters for them in Guam,” Wheeler says.

While the latter part of RFK’s statement was a joke, his plans to reform the American health care system are as serious as it gets.

“We’re going to return to science,” Means says. “I think what bad interests have realized is that there’s nothing higher-level in society than an NIH study. And I’ve actually, Liz, had conversations in the past three days with the senior-most members of the NIH who are defending the institution publicly, who are saying this is an absolute and utter dumpster fire.”

“There’s huge DEI regulations and parameters around what can and can’t be said, a feeling of absolute assault on academic freedom, and from what I’m hearing, when you add it up, eighty to ninety percent of NIH grants and funding goes to pharmaceutical R&D,” Means explains.

“We’re going to get any type of ideology out of our scientific guidelines,” he continues. “And that’s the key to everything.”

EXCLUSIVE: Healthshare Org Urges Incoming Trump Admin To Make ‘Radical’ Change To FDA, Healthcare System

'Plagued by waste and inefficiency'

Can RFK Jr. put an END to a corrupt FDA?



Donald Trump has nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be his secretary of health and human services — and Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program” couldn’t be more thrilled, though he does have some suggestions.

“I want him to dismantle the money going back and forth from the drug companies, the revolving door,” Glenn tells head researcher Jason Buttrill and Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America.”

Why? Glenn explains that this is because the system is corrupt and currently has little to nothing to do with America’s health and much more to do with the pockets of large corporations.

“The food company goes to their group of known and trusted scientists and says, ‘We need a study that shows yellow number five is safe,’ and they’re like, ‘Oh, we’re going to do that study, it’s going to be fair and balanced and totally on the up and up,’” Glenn says.


“You seem skeptical,” Stu comments, joking.

“A little bit, just like I am with studies that are paid for by the people who are going to benefit from that study. It’s not neutral. The FDA then is given that study after it comes back and says, ‘Yellow number five is fine,’” Glenn continues.

The FDA then approves the ingredient, but not without significant cost.

“Half of the money from the FDA, half of their budget comes from food and pharmaceutical companies,” Glenn says.

“Let’s say if you stopped that, you’d cut the FDA in half,” Stu comments.

“Yes,” Glenn responds. “I want less input from the FDA, and I want an end to the revolving door and the obvious corruption that’s coming from money.”

'Very stupid': New York Times beclowns itself with botched 'fact-check,' proving RFK Jr.'s point



Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald Trump's proposed Health and Human Services secretary, has pledged to "Make America Healthy Again" primarily by tackling the "chronic disease epidemic" and the corporate capture of federal regulatory agencies.

The environmental lawyer's adjacency to the Republican president and his recent criticism of experimental gene therapies have made him a frequent target for criticism by lawmaking recipients of Big Pharma lobbying money and the liberal media. In their efforts to dunk on Kennedy, establishmentarians have in many cases exposed their true loyalties as well as their aversion to inconvenient facts.

The New York Times is now among the outfits that has risked such exposure in its desperation to characterize Kennedy as "wrong."

'The science shows that these dyes cause hyperactivity in children, can disrupt the immune system, and are contaminated with carcinogens.'

By attempting to miss a point that Kennedy was making in a recent interview, the Times' Christina Jewett and Julie Creswell unwittingly defended his thesis. Critics have since descended upon the liberal publication, mocking it over its botched fact-check.

At the outset of their article, titled "Kennedy’s Vow to Take On Big Food Could Alienate His New G.O.P. Allies," Jewett and Creswell wrote, "Boxes of brightly colored breakfast cereals, vivid orange Doritos and dazzling blue M&Ms may find themselves under attack in the new Trump administration."

After highlighting why food titans that produce unhealthy products are "nervous" about the incoming administration, Jewett and Creswell tried nitpicking through some of Kennedy's concerns, zeroing in on his recent remarks about the ingredients of Kellogg's Froot Loops cereal.

In September, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) moderated a four-hour round table discussion on Capitol Hill about American health and nutrition.

During her presentation, Vani Hari, a critic of the food industry who founded FoodBabe, shared the ingredient lists for multiple food products in the U.S. versus in Europe and stressed the need for limits on additives and dyes in breakfast cereals.

Together with Jason Karp, founder and CEO of the healthy living organization HumanCo., Hari highlighted the color difference between the Froot Loops cereal produced for American consumption and the version produced for consumption in Canada.

The brighter artificial colors are more attractive to children — and helpful with sales — but apparently harmful to their health.

Hari recently told Blaze News:

The science shows that these dyes cause hyperactivity in children, can disrupt the immune system, and are contaminated with carcinogens. There are safer colors available made from fruits and vegetables, such as beets and carrots. Food companies already don't use artificial dyes en masse in Europe because they don’t want to slap warning labels on their products that say they 'may cause adverse effects on attention in children.' If food companies like Kellogg's can reformulate their products without artificial dyes to sell in other countries, there is no reason why they can’t do that also here in America.

The food activist added, "As there are over 10,000 food additives approved for use in the United States, while Europe only allows 400, the [incoming] administration should prioritize taking control of the alarming amount of food additives in our food supply."

'This is of particular concern for fetuses and babies under the age of 6 months, whose blood-brain barrier is not fully developed.'

Kennedy appeared on Fox News the following day and referenced Hari's presentation, saying, "A box of Froot Loops from Canada or from Europe ... has a completely different group of ingredients. It's actually colored with vegetable oils, which are safe. Ours are colored with chemical oils, which are very, very dangerous."

Following the election, Kennedy revisited the example in a MSNBC interview, saying offhand, "Why do we have Froot Loops in this country that have 18 or 19 ingredients, and you go to Canada and it's got two or three?"

The Times seized on Kennedy's critique of Froot Loop, writing:

Mr. Kennedy has singled out Froot Loops as an example of a product with too many artificial ingredients, questioning why the Canadian version has fewer than the U.S. version. But he was wrong. The ingredient list is roughly the same, although Canada's has natural colorings made from blueberries and carrots while the U.S. product contains red dye 40, yellow 5 and blue 1 as well as Butylated hydroxytoluene, or BHT, a lab-made chemical that is used "for freshness," according to the ingredient label.

In the same paragraph that the Times claimed Kennedy was wrong about Froot Loops having more artificial ingredients in Canada than in the U.S., the liberal publication effectively pointed out he was right on the money.

According to the National Library of Medicine, butylated hydroxytoluene — used as a preservative in fats and oils as well as in packaging material for fat-containing foods — has been shown in animal studies to increase serum cholesterol, reduce growth in baby rats, and increase absolute liver weight. The NLM and the Canadian government also recognize BHT as harmful to the environment.

Red dye 40 is made from petroleum and has been approved by the FDA for use in food and drinks. It has been linked in some studies to hyperactivity disorders in children. The Cleveland Clinic indicated that red dye 40 also has various potential side effects, including depression, irritability, and migraines.

Yellow dye 5 or tartazine is another synthetic food colorant linked to numerous adverse health effects. It is reportedly restricted in Austria and Norway owing to the allergies, asthma, skin rashes, hyperactivity, and migraines it can apparently cause.

A 2021 paper in the peer-reviewed journal Advances in Nutrition noted that blue dye 1 has been found to cause chromosomal aberrations and "was found to inhibit neurite growth and act synergistically with L-glutamic acid in vitro, suggesting the potential for neurotoxicity. This is of particular concern for fetuses and babies under the age of 6 months, whose blood-brain barrier is not fully developed."

'This is beyond absurd.'

The paper noted further that having found blue dye 1 to have cytotoxic and genotoxic effects, some researchers "advise that caution must be exercised when using it for coloring food."

Children are the biggest consumers of such artificial food dyes.

Critics blasted the Times over its bizarre "fact-check," which said he was wrong then unwittingly explained why he was right.

"This is what passes for a 'fact check' at The New York Times," wrote Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. "The media lie a lot, but fortunately for us, they are also VERY stupid."

"Americans are being poisoned under the status quo food and health institutions, and regime media wants you to believe that Bobby Kennedy pushing for reform is somehow the problem. Make it make sense!" added Kirk.

Molecular biologist Dr. Richard H. Ebright of Rutgers University tweeted, "I read the paragraph multiple times yesterday, trying to make sense of what the idiot writer had written. I could only conclude that the idiot writer had written the equivalent of '2 + 2 = 5.'"

One critic quipped, "'As you see, the ingredient list is just completely identical, except the US product contains formaldehyde, cyanide, and nearly undetectable levels of saxitoxin."

"Crazy," tweeted Elon Musk.

Pershing Square Capital Management founder Bill Ackman wrote, "This is beyond absurd. The @nytimes says @RobertKennedyJr 'was wrong' about Froot Loops having too many artificial ingredients compared to its Canadian version, and then goes on to explain the artificial colorings and preservatives in the U.S. vs the Canadian version. @RobertKennedyJr is right and The NY Times is an embarrassment."

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) noted, "In their defense, their comedy writers are really strong."

The Times has since blamed an "editing error" and rewritten its Orwellian paragraph to read:

Mr. Kennedy has singled out Froot Loops as an example of a product with too many ingredients. In an interview with MSNBC on Nov. 6, he questioned the overall ingredient count: 'Why do we have Froot Loops in this country that have 18 or 19 ingredients and you go to Canada and it has two or three?' Mr. Kennedy asked. He was wrong on the ingredient count, they are roughly the same. But the Canadian version does have natural colorings made from blueberries and carrots while the U.S. product contains red dye 40, yellow 5 and blue 1 as well as Butylated hydroxytoluene, or BHT, a lab-made chemical that is used 'for freshness, according to the ingredient label.

The New York Times' credibility has taken a massive hit in recent months and years. After all, it was an exponent of the Russian collusion hoax; falsely claimed Trump supporters killed U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick with a fire extinguisher; falsely reported on the basis of terrorist propaganda that Israel blew up a Gazan hospital; and suggested that the Babylon Bee, a satire website, was a "far-right misinformation site."

Despite its trouble getting the facts right, it recently teamed up with Media Matters to get BlazeTV hosts censored, citing concerns over "misinformation."
