Texas Roadhouse's famous "butter" is reported to contain 0% actual butter.
The first ingredient listed is soybean oil, making it a margarine/seed oil blend.
This is a common practice in chain restaurants where cost cutting is disguised as the real thing.
Soybean oil is one of the most heavily processed and subsidized crops in the American food system, dominated by a handful of agrochemical corporations.
After seeing cancer and diabetes become more common in her Shoshone and Paiute community, Destany “Sky” Pete wanted to find out if traditional foods could help.
Working with researchers at Boise State University, she tested the tribe’s traditional chokecherry pudding recipe.
In lab tests, it stopped the growth of uterine cancer cells within 24 hours, earning her first place among hundreds of science projects.
Independent lab testing by the Center for Environmental Health found BPA, a chemical that mimics estrogen, in activewear from Nike, Alo Yoga, Athleta, PINK, The North Face, New Balance, Adidas, Patagonia, Champion, Fabletics and more. The brands faced legal action over it.
The exposure levels: BPA detected in 100% of polyester/ spandex blends. Up to 22x California's Prop 65 safety threshold in sports bras, and up to 40x in leggings and shorts.
BPA is an endocrine disruptor. It mimics estrogen and interferes with the hormone system that runs your metabolism, development, and reproduction.

At one point cities around the world made a major switch in street lighting, moving from older yellow lights to bright white LED lights almost overnight.
Soon after the change, many people started saying their sleep felt off and nights felt harsher than before.
Experts later pointed out that these bright lights give off more blue light, which can mess with the body clock and lower melatonin, the hormone that helps us sleep.
These autonomous UV robots offer an alternative to the billion pounds of annual chemical pesticides used in the U.S. every year.
American farming is entering a high-tech era as TRIC Robotics deploys autonomous, tractor-scale robots to eliminate crop pests using ultraviolet light instead of toxic chemical sprays.
By navigating fields autonomously overnight, these massive robots target and destroy pests and diseases without leaving harmful chemical residues, starting first with commercial strawberry fields before expanding to other crops.
This clean-tech shift could eventually phase out widespread reliance on controversial chemicals like glyphosate, transforming the future of sustainable food production.
Today, it’s rare for a farmer-owned food brand to stay independent. Many eventually sell to large corporations, which can change how products are made to increase profits.
These brands have chosen to stay farmer-backed, helping them keep control over their standards and values. They use organic ingredients and avoid synthetic chemicals, artificial preservatives, and cheap fillers.
The five cheese brands above are still independent and use either traditional non-GMO animal rennet or non-GMO microbial or vegetable enzymes instead of GMO rennet.
A study by the World Health Organization (WHO) has once again drawn attention to very common foods in the daily diet.
According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), linked to the WHO, processed meats have been classified as carcinogenic to humans.
Products included in Group 1 include: * Sausages * Processed meats * Processed ham * Salami
Evidence shows an association between frequent consumption of these foods and an increased risk of colorectal cancer.
Look for meat that says "no nitrites or nitrates added" or the word "Uncured"
