Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is spreading doubts about the safety of vaccines and considering changes that could prompt manufacturers to flee the U.S. market.
The Food Ingredient Safety Coalition (FISC), a food industry group quietly making the rounds in state legislatures, aims to stop food safety laws in the states.

The 2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA), which were released in January by HHS Secretary Robert F.

And they continue to recommend fruits, vegetables, and whole foods and that people use plain water as a primary beverage. That’s the good part.
The childhood vaccine schedule helps parents know when to vaccinate kids against diseases, some of which can be deadly. But why do kids need so many vaccines?
"The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans include several strong, evidence-based recommendations, including advice to avoid highly processed foods with added sugars and salt; to significantly reduce the consumption of highly processed, refined carbohydrates; and to limit saturated fat in the diet. Secretary Rollins has claimed that USDA’s updates to the SNAP staple food stocking standards will align policy with the DGA, ensuring that “healthier options will be in reach for all American families, regardless of circumstance, at levels never seen before.” Unfortunately, the stocking standards updates in USDA’s proposed rule represent a missed opportunity to deliver on this promise."
