4 more harmful ingredients on FDA’s watch list!

I'm heading to DC for a big event tomorrow. 

The "Make America Healthy Again" MAHA Commission Report is going to be released -  which will be a comprehensive look into why Americans are so sick.

Stay tuned on all my social media channels for what happens at this event…It will be historic. 

There is so much work to be done and everything can't happen overnight, but I'm thankful that steps are finally being taken on the federal level to get harmful chemicals out of our food.

And now… several of the man-made ingredients we've been warning about for years are in the HOT SEAT, officially being reviewed by the FDA.

The FDA announced they're fast-tracking their review of unnecessary chemicals that food companies have already removed overseas, and expanded their list to include:

1. AZODICARBONAMIDE ("Yoga Mat Chemical"): We successfully petitioned Subway to remove Azodicarbonamide (banned in Europe and Australia) from their breads in 2014, and many other bread manufacturers in America. This chemical is linked to cancer because when the Azodicarbonamide is baked, it can form semicarbazide (a carcinogen) and urethane (suspected carcinogen).

 

2. BHT: We petitioned General Mills and Kellogg's to remove this preservative from their cereals - which is still ongoing. They don't use BHT in other countries, which is an endocrine disruptor linked to cancer in some animal studies.

3. BHA: This is a common preservative found in pizzas, sausages, and Kool-Aid, which the International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies as "possibly carcinogenic to humans".
4. TITANIUM DIOXIDE: A brightening agent found in Skittles, which was banned in Europe after it was found to damage DNA, potentially leading to cancer. Food companies swiftly removed the chemical overseas, but left it in their American products!

Please share this good news on social media: Instagram, Facebook, and X. 

You can also forward this email to your loved ones to share. 

For so long, our cries for change have fallen on deaf ears, and now things are changing. 

Thank you for continuing to use your voice along with me. We are being heard Food Babe Army!

Stop buying breads with harmful ingredients (try this instead!)

Did you hear the amazing news?

The FDA announced they're fast-tracking their list of ingredients to review for safety, which now will include common preservatives and the "yoga mat chemical" Azodicarbonamide. 

This is the same ingredient we successfully petitioned Subway to remove from their breads in 2014 (which is banned in Europe and Australia).

This chemical is linked to cancer because when it is baked in bread, it can form semicarbazide (a carcinogen) and urethane (suspected carcinogen).

It's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find a good bread on the shelves without...

• Chemical preservatives
• Added sugar
• Inflammatory oils and additives
• Conventional wheat sprayed with pesticides

That's why I have been ordering my bread from Organic Bread of Heaven for years!

My whole family is in LOVE with their breads... they're incredibly delicious and just like you'd make at home:

**100% Certified Organic Ingredients** - Every single component is organic, so you're avoiding the pesticides, herbicides, and GMOs found in conventional bread. Their wheat is grown without glyphosate (the toxic weedkiller found in most conventional wheat products)!

**NO Artificial Preservatives** - Instead of chemicals to extend shelf life, they use traditional fermentation methods that naturally preserve the bread while making it more digestible. This is how bread was made for thousands of years before processed food took over!

**NO Added Sugar** - Most store-bought breads (even the "healthy" ones) contain hidden sugars that spike your blood sugar and feed inflammation. Organic Bread of Heaven uses minimal, natural sweeteners only when absolutely necessary.

**Sprouted Grain & Sourdough Options** - Their sprouted breads unlock nutrients and make the bread more digestible, perfect for sensitive stomachs. The sprouting process reduces phytic acid and increases vitamin content - it's like the grain is pre-digested for your body!

As a busy mom, finding their sandwich breads, tortillas, and slider buns has been life-changing.

Now I can make quick lunches for my kids (+ travel with bread again!) without compromising on nutrition or worrying about feeding them hidden toxins.

The best part is they ship it straight to your house: 

• Their bread is baked fresh to order (not sitting on shelves for weeks!)
• Ships directly to your door - no need to hunt it down at specialty stores
• Can be frozen for up to 6 months so you always have healthy bread on hand
• Variety packs available to try different types

I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to eliminate conventional bread from your diet. Most bread today barely resembles the nourishing staple our grandparents ate.

By switching to Organic Bread of Heaven, you're not just avoiding harmful ingredients - you're supporting traditional baking methods and organic farming practices that are better for our health and planet!

Big Food under fire!

My friend and fellow fighter of truth, Dr. Casey Means was nominated as our next U.S. Surgeon General last week. 

When I found this out, I screamed SO LOUD that I think the whole neighborhood heard it.

I'm so thrilled for her to embark on making America healthy again and bringing a new era of truth, integrity and health for the American people in the country's highest medical position.

You'd think that everyone would be as excited as I am…

She's an accomplished physician who learned the truth about the bureaucratic medical establishment and saw that it was not healing people - patients kept coming back with more problems and she was not incentivized to look at root causes of their health problems. 

I resonate with this, as I had my own health awakening after a doctor put me on countless prescription drugs and then told me I needed to take an organ out of my body. I hit rock bottom before I realized the root cause (ultraprocessed and fast food) was making me sick. 

Dr. Means took the brave step to unleash the truth on the American people, started her own wellness company, and wrote the #1 best-selling book Good Energy with her brother, which sold millions of copies. 

Dr. Means knows that food is medicine and wants to empower people to be the "CEO of their own health" - which is so aligned with the Food Babe Army's mission.

It's a DREAM to have her as our next Surgeon General to communicate to Americans what needs to change in their lifestyle to heal their health.

Yet, there is battle brewing. 

You didn't think they'd let us just waltz in and stop the atrocities of the food and health care system did you?

Of course not. 

WE ARE AT WAR.

Dr. Means is being attacked because she is threatening the entire healthcare establishment who makes more money when we're sick. 

We need to get the truth out…

MUST READ AND SHARE: The truth about Dr. Casey Means that the media isn't telling you.

I have a couple more amazing updates to share with you.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton launched an investigation into General Mills yesterday: "Under my watch, big food companies should be on high alert that they will be held accountable if they put toxic ingredients in our food and engage in false marketing"

This is what happens when food companies put profits over health.

Who is going to be next???

Our movement is reaching more people like never before…

Over the weekend CBS Evening News featured the Food Babe Army!

This is the moment we've all been waiting for and it's incredible to have our work featured on the mainstream evening news. 

WATCH: See what happens when CBS came over to my house! 

Thank you for standing with me and your tireless voices and support. 

Xo, 

Vani

Protein hack

Have you heard of the viral protein coffee hack?

It's exactly what it sounds like: You take your regular cup of coffee and stir in a scoop of protein powder.

It's easy to see why people are doing this: 

People love coffee for morning energy, but adding a scoop of Truvani Plant-Based Protein not only makes it creamier… but gives your brain and body extra fuel.

Every flavor of Truvani Protein has 20g Protein and only 1g Sugar per scoop. 

And if you're a coffee drinker (or more of a matcha person), you can claim 20% OFF Plant-Based Protein and all Truvani products.

Plus, we're throwing in a FREE 7-Serve Bag of Collagen Peptides ($19.99 value) when you spend $20+.

20% Off + FREE Collagen

You can also add a scoop of your FREE Truvani Collagen Peptides to it. Why?

Our collagen levels drop every year starting at age 20. 

This drop can lead to hair loss, thinning, and even fine lines in our skin.

Just one scoop of Truvani Collagen Peptides per day supports gut, skin, hair, nail and joint health.

Pair it with a scoop of Truvani Plant-Based Protein Powder, in flavors like:

• Vanilla & Chocolate: The #1 and #2 plant protein powders at Sprouts Farmers Market.
• Lemon Cookie: Our seasonal summer flavor, and one of our fastest-selling ones. 
• Strawberry & Chocolate Strawberry: Made with real strawberries from Italy.

And remember! You can claim 20% OFF ANY Truvani product like Plant-Based Protein, The Only Bar, vitamins and more…

Plus, I'm sending you a 7-serve bag of Collagen Peptides ($19.99 value) for FREE when you spend $20+.

Yikes.

Oof! Terrible news for Kellogg's

As I said last October…

Kellogg's refusal to sit down with us was the biggest PR mistake in food history. 

It's all playing out now in real time. 

Yesterday Kellogg's had their 1st quarter earnings call and it was a doozy! 

Their sales are tanking. 

Their profit forecast is taking a nose-dive.

And their CEO said: "business did not perform as we had expected"

This is what happens when you poison children with ingredients you don't use in other countries.

READ THIS: Terrible News for Kellogg's - Sales Tanking! 

This is all the proof we need that the food industry needs to do better if they want to remain in the marketplace. 

Times have changed!

Americans now know the truth about the man-made substances food corporations use to improve their bottom line…at the expense of our health.

We have the power to protect ourselves by refusing to buy products from corporations who put profits over people.

And we are winning.

Thank you.

It's because of YOU that the food industry is changing for the better. 

You are the truly the best Food Babe Army in the world!

Talking about THIS at the WHITEHOUSE?!

Yesterday, I sent a public letter to the food industry.

This is what it said:

"Dear Food Industry,

I know you didn't want to do this. But it's okay. You'll have to anyway.

I hope you enjoy this clip of me on the White House lawn with the head of the FDA.

Love,

Food Babe and her Army"
