When you think about the FDA you would hope that a government agency would have only the best interests of the general public in mind. As we all know this is not the truth. Fortunately there are courageous individuals who bring to the public's attention the serious health risks of our food system that the FDA has brushed under the carpet. Meet Dr. Renee Dufault, FDA whistle blower and author of Unsafe at Any Meal. It was such an honor to discuss Dr. Dufault's story and the great personal sacrifice that she has made to bring this message to the public. A story of pure grit and tenacity and a bit of detective work to discover missing mercury and how it ended up in our foods. Dr. Dufault is a person caused to serve having been in the active duty military and then the U.S. Public Health Service. I would hope you would support her in two ways: first please buy her book and then share it with a friend to spread the message.Second, check out her website that is chalk full of information. http://foodingredient.info
Dr. Dufault is recognized as a biomedical expert in the areas of inorganic mercury and fructose toxicology, nutrition, autism, ADHD, epigenetics, and environmental hazard assessment. Her articles published in peer reviewed medical journals continue to be widely accessed and cited by other scientists. She is widely known for blowing the whistle on the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) when the agency attempted to block publication of her findings of inorganic mercury in high fructose corn syrup. To publish these findings, she retired early and gave up her career as a United States Public Health Service Officer. Mother Jonespublished an award winning article about Dr. Dufault's investigation and it can be accessed at the following link:

Dr. Dufault has thus far developed web-based nutrition education interventions for three different clinical trials. Two were designed to help Native American college students improve their dietary pattern and reduce their risk of Type-2 diabetes. Diet surveys were conducted before and after each intervention to determine the effectiveness of the coaching instruction and curriculum. During one of these trials, blood samples were taken before and after the nutrition coursework to measure changes in glucose and inorganic mercury levels. In both trials, students significantly increased their consumption of whole healthy foods and significantly decreased their consumption of processed foods. Students also lost weight and reduced their BMI. In the blood study, students who participated in the web based nutrition intervention significantly reduced their glucose levels and had lower inorganic mercury levels at the end of the study compared to students that did not participate in the web based nutrition intervention.
