Nearly 1 in 5 Urinary Tract Infections Linked to Contaminated Meat, Study Finds

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections worldwide, affecting more than 404 million people each year — especially women. They’re often blamed on hygiene habits or anatomy, but research has long pointed to another culprit: contaminated meat.

For years, I’ve reported that E. coli from animals raised in concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) is a hidden driver of these infections. Now, new research published in mBio confirms what earlier studies have shown — that a significant number of UTIs are traced to the same bacteria found in store-bought meat. This strengthens the growing body of evidence that the problem isn’t just personal hygiene but a food supply saturated with antibiotic-resistant pathogens. More details: https://bit.ly/49nYul3

FDA Takes Action to Restrict Fluoride Supplements for Children

Fluoridated water has shaped U.S. dental policy since the 1940s, when officials began adding fluoride to public water supplies in an effort to reduce childhood cavities. As of 2022, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that 72.3% of Americans on community water systems (about 62.8% of the entire population) received fluoridated water, making systemic exposure nearly unavoidable.

Mounting evidence now shows that fluoride offers little measurable benefit for dental health while introducing significant risks, particularly for children. Many countries, including Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands, have already abandoned water fluoridation. In the U.S., Utah and Florida recently became the first states to ban the practice, and similar bills are emerging elsewhere. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3L6mobt

Chronic Stress Reliably Causes Depression, Progesterone Helps Treat It

Chronic stress leaves a clear imprint on your brain, and the effects reach far deeper than feeling overwhelmed or emotionally drained. It disrupts the very systems responsible for mood, motivation and mental clarity, pushing your brain into a state where resilience becomes harder to access. When this pressure builds day after day, the result is a predictable shift toward low mood, irritability, loss of interest and a growing sense that you're running on fumes.

These changes aren't signs of weakness — they're biological signals that your stress circuitry is overheating. What often goes unnoticed is how this process reshapes your brain at a chemical level. Stress doesn't stay confined to thoughts or emotions; it alters the pathways that govern inflammation, energy production and emotional regulation. More information: https://bit.ly/4scIbyX

Why Antidepressants Aren't Fixing Depression - and How the System Keeps That Truth Buried

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), up to 11.4% of Americans were taking prenoscription antidepressants in 2023.1 The trend has only moved upward, especially among adolescents and young adults. Dispensing rates in these groups were already increasing before the pandemic, then accelerated by 63.5% in the years that followed,2 shaping not only how mental health is treated but how it's understood.

In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson,3 Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring, a practicing psychiatrist who worked within both the pharmaceutical industry and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), described what he saw firsthand inside the system responsible for developing, approving, and prescribing these drugs.
