For all of the panic about food coloring, read this & you’ll feel much better about your Easter eggs 👇🏽

I want to let you in on something. A secret operation. A quiet, well-organized conspiracy of scientists, regulatory wonks, and one very caffeinated toxicologist in North Carolina, who has been working covertly — methodically, ruthlessly — to convince the American public of a single, dangerous idea. That idea is this: Europe approved food dyes. Join the cabal. Find out more. Like and Subscribe at my new Substack open.substack.com/pub/dispatches…

Here’s a great way to spend a few minutes, especially if you’re sick of bombarded by know-nothings like RFK. Chuckie D. and Ana D. did a fantastic job on this video, which tells you why we’re really healthier today. It has nothing to do with red dye, Tylenol, raw milk or any other Kennedy nonsense.

In California, restaurants have to put up a cancer warning if they serve you potatoes. Why? Join @JonEntine + @DrLizaMD and me to break down Prop 65: An absurd law that lets tort lawyers cannibalize businesses on the basis of junk science. 🧵

Not to mention that Cheerios taste like pressure-treated wood scraps glued together with Duco Cement.

Fact: you'd have to eat 30 bowls of cheerios a day for year to get near the EPA's limit for safe #glyphosate exposure.

Aging research has exploded with legitimate science being thrown into the mix. But there are plenty of “biohackers” who are jumping the gun without waiting for proof of efficacy. Often, those jumps amount to giant leaps. Maybe off a cliff. acsh.org/news/2026/03/1…

Berezow makes his point. Splendidly, as usual. Well enough to forgive a dark blue shirt with a brown jacket.
