Is your mattress making you sick?

A few years ago, I had this unsettling realization:

I'm meticulous about ingredients that go into my body during the day — reading labels, buying organic, filtering my water...

Yet I was spending 8+ hours EVERY NIGHT sleeping on a mattress filled with chemicals I'd never put anywhere near my food.

It hit me: We spend ONE-THIRD of our lives in bed.

That's a third of our lives breathing in whatever's lurking in our mattresses.

And here's what I found when I started investigating conventional mattresses:

• Polyurethane foams
• Flame retardants
• Synthetic materials
• Off-gassing chemicals

I couldn't believe it. I wouldn't let my family eat this stuff, so why was I letting them sleep on it?

Your bed should be a clean space for rest and recovery — not a source of chemical exposure.

That's why I upgraded to My Green Mattress, and it's honestly been one of the best decisions for my family's health.

Here's what makes My Green Mattress different:

✓ Certified organic cotton & wool
✓ ZERO polyurethane foams
✓ NO flame retardants
✓ Handcrafted in the USA
✓ Actually affordable (especially compared to other organic mattresses!)

I sleep on the Natural Escape Organic Mattress and it's absolutely amazing!

I wake up feeling rested, and I have peace of mind knowing my family isn't breathing in harmful chemicals all night long.

Right now, you'll not only save big on your own mattress BUT you'll also get a FREE protector* when you use my link:

Don't spend another night on a toxic mattress.

This is their biggest sale of the year!

It’s time to rise up Food Babe Army

I have some really good news… but then some bad news.

You need to know both.

A major scientific paper the chemical industry points to as "proof" that Roundup weed killer (glyphosate) doesn't cause cancer was just pulled by the academic journal it was published in! 

They pulled the paper when internal documents showed that it was ghostwritten by Monsanto – the company who invented Roundup. 

This means that our EPA can no longer rely on this fraudulent piece of industry-written "science" to say Roundup doesn't cause cancer. 

Americans deserve to know the truth about Roundup, and not have carcinogens sprayed on their food. 

Bayer bought Monsanto a few years back, and has already paid out $10 BILLION to cancer victims caused by this chemical…

And there are upwards of 67,000 upcoming cases. 

This is a problem that won't go away for Bayer. And instead of taking responsibility, they're trying to wiggle out of this in the worst way possible. 

Bayer petitioned the Supreme Court to give them a federal liability shield. 

This would block people who get cancer from their product from suing them, so all pending lawsuits would come to a screeching halt.

They're claiming that since the EPA doesn't require a cancer warning, the lawsuits should be thrown out.

And things just escalated, because the Solicitor General is supporting them getting heard by the Court, making it more likely to happen.

This is why the EPA needs to reevaluate glyphosate ASAP and warn the American people about how it causes cancer – or we are screwed.

I have an entire chapter about Roundup and how Monsanto lied to Americans in my book Feeding You Lies. 

This book also breaks down all of the lies we have been fed by Big Food and how they use the tactics of the tobacco industry to hook Americans on their products. 

Which brings me to one more piece of good news! 

Big Food just got sued by the city of San Francisco. 

This is the first government lawsuit of its kind… 

Claiming that Big Food corporations deceptively market their products using tactics right out of the tobacco-industry playbook.

Even worse, how they target our children – and KNOW their ultra-processed products make people sick… but sell them anyway. 

Defendants in the suit include: Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Kraft-Heinz, Post, Mondelez, General Mills, Nestlé, WK Kellogg, Kellanova, Mars, and ConAgra.

Big Food is the new tobacco. 

The truth is catching up to them.

Their old playbook doesn't work anymore. 

And they're finally being called out for it.

Xo,

Vani

P.S. If this email sparked something in you or there's someone in your life who wants to get healthier in our ultra-processed food system, my book Feeding You Lies would make a great gift. Perhaps even for yourself! 

P.P.S. Don't forget I put all of my healthy gift ideas in a holiday guide for you here. It includes products I personally love, use, and fully stand behind for my family. From beauty to kitchen tools to wellness must-haves, these gifts align perfectly with the Food Babe lifestyle.

The only cookware I trust for holiday cooking

I don't know about you...

But I'm getting my kitchen ready for the holiday rush.

Cookies for neighbors. Sheet pan dinners for busy weeknights. And those massive holiday cookie exchanges that are coming up.

But here's what you may not realize:

That non-stick baking sheet you're using? It could be releasing toxic chemicals directly into your food.

Most non-stick cookware and bakeware contains PFAS (aka "forever chemicals") and PTFE (Teflon).

And when these coatings get overheated -- which happens fast when you're baking cookies or roasting vegetables -- they release toxic fumes that have been linked to cancer, hormone disruption, and immune system issues.

In fact, these fumes are so toxic they can kill pet birds and cause flu-like symptoms in humans (it's actually called "Teflon flu").

That's why the only baking sheets I use in my kitchen are from 360 Cookware.

Here's why they're different:

• Made in the USA with surgical-grade stainless steel
• Zero PFAS, PTFE, or aluminum touching your food
• Bakes everything evenly with no toxins
• Lifetime warranty (mine still look brand new after years!)

And right now, you can save 25% OFF 360 Cookware baking sheets and cookware with code FOODBABE.

Get 25% OFF 360 Cookware here

Don't bake another batch of cookies on toxic non-stick pans.

Now is the best time to upgrade your cookware before the holiday rush!

How to have a healthy Thanksgiving (6 tips!)

It may sound like a contradiction using the words "healthy" and "thanksgiving" together, but hear me out! 

There are several things you can do to make your Thanksgiving celebration healthier...

1. Don't skip your daily green drink (and breakfast): You don't want to show up to the Thanksgiving table ravenous, because then you'll eat everything in sight! Make sure to start your day with a green drink and breakfast to give yourself a healthy energy boost that will remind you that your health comes first. 
2. Seek out raw food first. Fill up your plate with raw veggies and salad first. You'll still have room for more delicious goodies later!
3. Cut out the alcohol (or keep it limited). If you want to have a festive drink, bring along your own bottle of organic wine. Have just one glass and then replace it with sparkling water and lime the second time around.
4. Cap off the night with some ginger tea. Ginger can counteract any inflammation, and is effective in calming the stomach and aiding in digestion.
5. Relieve stress. If you are feeling super stressed out, your cortisol levels can skyrocket causing your body hold onto weight (particularly in the waist). Do some yoga, meditation, or take a long walk either before or after your meal.
6. Bring healthier versions of your Thanksgiving favorites. Of course you should never show up to a dinner empty-handed, so use this rule to your advantage and bring along a healthy holiday dish (or a few). This will give you the option of eating at least one healthy item, and lets you share a delicious real food dish with your family! 

Here are my favorite healthy Thanksgiving recipes from the blog:

• Sweet Potato Casserole: Almost like dessert (but healthy!)
• Cornbread Stuffing: Vegan, organic, and absolutely delicious. 
• Stove Top Stuffing: Frees up your oven for other dishes like the turkey and sweet potatoes.
• Spaghetti Squash Casserole: Incredible creamy and savory side dish.
• Raw Stuffing: The crunch of the pecans and savory cauliflower, celery, onions and carrots is just dynamite!
• Cranberry Sauce: Sweetened with fresh squeezed orange juice and honey.
• Pumpkin Pie with Coconut Whipped Cream: Without refined sugar!

One of the the things I love to do after Thanksgiving is make a big pot of soup. It's easy, inexpensive, and is a great way to use of up some of the leftover veggies and turkey you might have.

A great one to try from Food Babe Family is Ginger Chicken Soup, which you can easily make with leftover turkey instead. Simply omit the chicken and add shredded cooked turkey while the soup is simmering. It's cozy, healing, and works perfectly with shredded turkey instead of chicken. The ginger, broth, and veggies make it feel like a warm blanket — exactly what everyone needs after a big holiday meal.

Here's the recipe if you don't have the cookbook yet:

Food Babe's Ginger Chicken Soup (makes 4 servings)

Ingredients:

• 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 4 to 5 medium carrots, chopped
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 1-inch piece fresh ginger root, minced
• 5 cups low-sodium chicken bone broth
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
• 1/2 to 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions:

1. Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat.
2. Add the chicken thighs and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side.
3. Add the carrots, celery, onion, and ginger. Sauté until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
4. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
5. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors blend, about 20 minutes.
6. Before serving, break up the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Wishing you and your family a happy (and healthy) Thanksgiving!

Xo,

Vani
