EU roadblocks and distorted journalism

In our lead story, we reveal some disturbing trends in the latest rash of opinions from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Among our observations is that it’s all working well for Big Food, Biotech and even Pharma — and isn’t necessarily in the interests of public health.

In our second story, in the wake of this week’s UK Channel 4 documentary, Trump, The Doctor & the Vaccine Scandal, we review some of the key elements that we believe were missing from a balanced treatment of this incredibly divisive issue. It’s perhaps time we change the nature of the debate and focus more on the science, than its commentators.

As always, for your benefit, we’ve scoured the news feeds from around the world to bring you our round up of weekly health news to help you keep your finger on the pulse, including news on glyphosate free Roundup, a gluten digesting enzyme and calls for mandatory vaccines in Italy and Ireland.
