"Kessler told Bill Whitaker that the foods generally referred to as empty calories, are not just empty. They're ending up in your liver, and that fat in your liver is gonna migrate into other organs. And it's the cause of cardiometabolic disease. Kessler recently filed a petition demanding the FDA revoke GRAS status for processed refined carbohydrates. GRAS stands for Generally Recognized as Safe foods like corn syrup, maltodextrin, xylose, and high-fructose corn syrup."
"Whitaker called out Kennedy's credibility in vowing he'll use gold standard science to review GRAS ingredients, in light of the radical changes he recently made to childhood vaccine schedules. Whitaker asked Kennedy if he was concerned that his stance on vaccines might make people reluctant to support him on ultra-processed foods. My stance on vaccines is the same, Kennedy said. People should have good science and they should have choice."
A petition seeks FDA revocation of GRAS status for processed refined carbohydrates, citing harm from ingredients like corn syrup, maltodextrin, xylose, and high-fructose corn syrup. Industrial processing renders these ingredients difficult for the body to handle, producing liver fat that can migrate to other organs and cause cardiometabolic disease. The Health and Human Services Secretary vowed a gold-standard scientific review of GRAS ingredients and defended vaccine choice and access. Questions about credibility arose because of recent changes to childhood vaccine schedules, yet conditional support for action on ultra-processed foods was offered despite vaccine disagreements.
