ANH Free Speech Campaign

Millions are beating type 2 diabetes with keto diets and intermittent fasting—no pills needed, just smarter eating! But finding real expert advice has gotten tougher due to corporate interference in science and Big Tech censorship.

General Mills was caught funding a literature review where the authors attempted to downplay the overwhelming scientific proof that low-carb diets are beneficial people with impaired glucose metabolism by awkwardly insisting that “the evidence … is relatively weak” and “[a]dditional and rigorous research … is needed.”

A keto eater who put her cancer in remission had a post about her experience deleted from Instagram.

A plethora of health and wellness channels, including Dr. Joseph Mercola, Dr. Eric Berg and Spencer Feldman, are starting to feel the sting of YouTube censorship, all under the guise of protecting viewers from “medical misinformation.”

You might be surprised to learn that this didn’t start during COVID. Censorship targeting proponents of low-carb, high-fat diets began long before 2020.

In 2019, a Facebook deleted a group of 1.65 million people following Tim Noakes’ “Banting 7-Day Meal Plan.” (The Banting meal plan is named for William Banting who in 1863 wrote “Letter on Corpulence, Addressed to the Public,” the first book on the benefits of avoiding sugar and gluten.)  

It was also in 2019 that Facebook started employing “scientific” fact checkers.

But, this campaign, initially led by the Dietetic Associations and the food and pharmaceutical industries, has been going on even longer than that.

In 2014, Dr. Gary Fettke was reported by a hospital dietitian to the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency’s Medical Board for recommending that his patients with Type 2 Diabetes reduce their sugar consumption. As he defended himself during a two-and-a-half year investigation, he learned that he and other low-sugar advocates were being targeted by the Dietitians Association of Australia and Diabetes Australia, at the behest of pharmaceutical companies Roche, Astra Zeneca, Abbot, Bayer, Lilly, Pharmaco, Sanofi and Medtronic, as well as the Australian Breakfast Cereal Manufacturers Forum (representing companies like Kellogg’s and Nestlé) and the Australian Sugar Industry.

Ten years of this profit-driven, health-destroying assault on the truth is enough!
