🚰 No one asked for abortion drugs in their drinking water.
Researchers found what appear to be significant levels of mifepristone, the abortion pill, in tap water in two U.S. cities. What can this mean for fertility, reproductive development, and fetal health?
Americans deserve answers. More research is needed, and regulators should take these findings seriously.
Bombshell avocado oil study just dropped
Links to the study and brands implicated below, including Siete and Boulder :(
A team out of UC Davis (Selina Wang's lab) pulled avocado- and olive-oil-based processed foods off California shelves and ran them through the lab.
Genuine avocado oil and olive oil should be mostly oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat, and carry very little linoleic acid ~10% at most. The cheap oils most often used to cut them, soybean, sunflower, canola, are the mirror image.
93% of the chips and other products failed to confirm a normal avocado oil signature
They confirmed these concerning signatures with sterol profiles and cis-vaccenic acid, a second independent fingerprint of seed-oil adulteration
Whether this is dubious, or yet again more companies not vetting suppliers, is unknown.
