WHISTLEBLOWER & FORMER EPA, DR. RENEE JOY DUFEULT: Her the book, "Unsafe at Any Level," revealed unacceptable levels of mercury in high fructose corn syrup, used in many infant formulas

Serendipitously, Dr. Dufault found undisclosed mercury residues in high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) samples collected by FDA law enforcement officers.  The FDA had commanded her to stop her investigation.  After her voluntary retirement from the FDA, she continued her work exposing this largely unknown national crime.

CEO @ GMO Science, Dr. Michelle Perro, discusses infant formula and heavy metal toxicity in her article, "Hacked!" January 24, 2024.  

On January 5, 2024, our website, gmoscience.org went down.  In the past 10 years since its inception, this has never occurred.  What has changed?

A raw nerve was touched.  Perhaps, it is the 1.4-billion-dollar infant formula industry that doesn’t want its products exposed for heavy metals?  Speculation, of course.   This is the first foray by our nonprofit into the research arena.  Possibly, we may have stepped on some toes.

A Bit of History

The EPA passed the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) in 1976, amended by President Obama in 2016.  The EPA has the authority to restrict certain exposures to the public, excluding foods.  However, heavy metals were not excluded.

The EPA will be required to act via their own compliance ordinance (TSCA) if indeed we expose heavy metals in the only source of sustenance for many infants; formula.

In 2017, I became familiar with the book, Unsafe at Any Level by Dr. Renee Joy Dufault, whistleblower, and previous US Public Health Service Officer working for the FDA. (1)

The good news is that the amount of per capita consumption of HFCS has gone down over the past 19 years.  However, Americans are still consuming approximately 40 pounds of HFCS per year (2)

A good read to the end . . .
