Is Your Baby Formula Safe? Florida Finds Heavy Metals in 16 of 24 Top Brands

Most parents who purchase baby formula trust that if the product is on the supermarket shelf, it must be safe for their child, but according to findings from the Healthy Florida First initiative, many of the top formula brands tested positive for heavy metals.

The state-led program, spearheaded by Governor Ron DeSantis (R), first lady Casey DeSantis, and Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo through the Florida Department of Health, aims to build a healthier Florida through independent testing and publication of contaminants in everyday foods.

On a recent episode of “Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz,” Horowitz interviewed Casey DeSantis about what Florida’s health initiative uncovered about 24 top-selling baby formulas and what parents can do to ensure that their children are receiving the best nutrition.

A Consumer Reports investigation released in March 2025 found potentially harmful levels of heavy metals, including arsenic and lead, in some of the 41 baby formulas tested. Around the same time, HHS and the FDA announced Operation Stork Speed, which increased testing for heavy metals and contaminants, reviewed nutrient standards, and strengthened oversight of infant formula safety.

Despite this initiative, DeSantis says that according to infant formula testing conducted by Florida’s Department of Health, “there hasn’t been much change at all.” (Read more from “Is Your Baby Formula Safe? Florida Finds Heavy Metals in 16 of 24 Top Brands” HERE)

NBC Apologizes for Calling Female Skier ‘She’

The Olympic skier at the center of a “misgendering” scandal has not publicly claimed to be offended. But one media outlet is apologizing profusely anyway.

Swedish skier Elis Lundholm competed in freestyle skiing women’s moguls on Wednesday but believes she is a man.

According to the Associated Press, Lundholm was “assigned female at birth and identifies as a man.”

However, the Swedish ski team also told the outlet the athlete does not take any hormonal treatments and has not had any surgeries.

While Lundholm finished 25th in the competition, NBC accidentally ensured her broader coverage by allegedly misgendering her. Website Outsports covered the apparent outrage, relaying the remarks from the NBC/Peacock color commentator during the event. (Read more from “NBC Apologizes for Calling Female Skier ‘She’” HERE)

Transgender Dropout Who Killed Family, 6 at Former School Posted About Dream of Becoming ‘Petite’ Woman

The transgender high school dropout who slaughtered his mom and stepbrother before gunning down six others at his former school in Canada had whined online about his 6-foot-tall frame making it impossible to live out his dream as a “petite” woman.

Jesse Van Rootselaar, 18, aired his grievances about transitioning as well as his obsession for guns in a series of online posts in the years before unleashing hell at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School on Tuesday, the Telegraph reported.

“Do I have a good build type for HRT [hormone replacement therapy]?” Van Rootselaar wrote in a since-deleted post on a trans-community forum.

“Any advice is appreciated, should I put on weight or anything? Work out?”

In one post from March 2020, Van Rootselaar, who described himself as “MtF” — or male-to-female — wrote: “I’m pre-HRT 15yo, I’m super skinny, so that sometimes makes me feel kinda good!”

“But I’m Pre-HRT and my expectations are minimal for chest growth, and I’m 6ft tall! Why can’t I be petit an [sic] smol [small]?” (Read more from “Transgender Dropout Who Killed Family, 6 at Former School Posted About Dream of Becoming ‘Petite’ Woman” HERE)

Epstein Email Reveals Twisted Hidden Cameras Plot

On Jan. 30, a New York State jury awarded a 22-year-old woman, Fox Varian, $2 million in damages for her 2019 “gender-affirming” double mastectomy, which she came to deeply regret. She was 16 years old at the time.

This settlement against Varian’s psychologist and plastic surgeon is the first legal judgment imposed upon those performing such mutilations. In court testimony, Varian explained that following the removal of her healthy breasts, “I immediately had a thought that this was wrong, and it couldn’t be true,” adding, “Shame, I felt shame. It’s hard to face that you are disfigured for life.”

The Epoch Times reported that Varian’s mother, Claire Deacon, was worried “her daughter would commit suicide if she didn’t get” the procedure and told the court that her daughter’s psychologist certainly “increased that worry.” This represents the deeply deceptive, “Would you rather have a dead daughter or a live son?” emotional blackmail.

This judgment has sent shockwaves through the medical and psychological community peddling this lie. They know more are coming. Independent reporter Benjamin Ryan has documented 27 other detransitioner lawsuits filed to date. And Manhattan Institute research from 2017 to 2023 found that a conservative minimum of 5,200 U.S. teen girls had their breasts removed, believing it would solve their transgender confusion.

This industry’s mounting fears were demonstrated days later on Feb. 3, when the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) issued a new “Position Statement on Gender Surgery for Children and Adolescents,” which concluded, “[T]here is insufficient evidence demonstrating a favorable risk-benefit ratio for the pathway of gender-related endocrine and surgical interventions in children and adolescents.” This is because “systematic reviews and evidence reassessment have subsequently identified limitations in study quality, consistency, and follow-up alongside emerging evidence of treatment complications and potential harms.” Of course, the U.K.’s systematic Cass Review arrived at this fact in April 2024.

People Are Getting an Old-Timey Sailors’ Disease on GLP-1s

Top dietitians in Australia this week are waving a red flag about an unforeseen impact of the GLP-1 class of weight-loss drugs, including Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro.

In a new systematic review of existing research, led by professor Clare Collins of the Newcastle School of Health Sciences in New South Wales, Australia, it appears that very few global trials of the drugs have taken into consideration what and how much patients are eating while using them.

This, experts have said, means many patients have been functionally malnourished — sometimes developing serious vitamin deficiencies like scurvy.

Part of what makes these drugs so effective for weight loss and diabetes management is their ability to suppress appetite. But not eating, or not eating enough of the right stuff, is simply not a sustainable path forward for anyone, regardless of whether or not they’re using a GLP-1. And dietitians are calling for more oversight.

“A reduction in body weight does not automatically mean the person is well-nourished or healthy,” Collins told the Australian Financial Review. “Nutrition plays a critical role in health and right now it’s largely missing from the evidence.” (Read more from “People Are Getting an Old-Timey Sailors’ Disease on GLP-1s” HERE)

Michael Jackson ‘Was a Pedophile Who Could Abuse Children Almost With Impunity,’ Claims Prosecutor Who Tried King of Pop

A California prosecutor, who tried Michael Jackson for molesting a child cancer survivor, remains adamant the King Of Pop was a pedophile.

The former senior deputy district attorney for Santa Barbara appears on camera in a new TV show explaining why he felt Jackson should have served twenty years for abusing ex child bed companion Gavin Arvizo in the 2005 trial.

Adamant Ron Zonen, one of the lead prosecutors for Santa Barbara County, is convinced MJ was a molester and that Arvizo had told the truth.

Zonen doubled down to Channel 4’s upcoming show The Trial on his assertion that the Thriller star “was a pedophile who could abuse children almost with impunity.”

In court Jackson was cleared of 14 charges connected to abuse of Arvizo, but Zonen revealed his belief that the musician had abused before 2003 which was not included in their charge list.

New Study Looks at How Covid Vaccine Affected Fertility, Miscarriage During Pandemic

. . .After a brief baby bump early in the COVID-19 pandemic, birth rates in the US and other wealthy countries dropped as the public health emergency eased.

That sudden decline sparked online speculation that the rollout of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines could have played a role, with critics suggesting the shots may have hurt fertility or made it harder to carry a pregnancy to term.

To test those claims, researchers in Sweden — a nation that also saw births fall later in the pandemic — decided to dig into the data.

They analyzed health information from nearly 60,000 women ages 18 to 45 living in Region Jönköping County in southern Sweden.

About 75% of the women were vaccinated against COVID-19 between 2021 and 2024, and 97% of those shots were mRNA vaccines.

When the researchers compared childbirth rates between vaccinated and unvaccinated women, they found no statistically significant difference between the two groups. (Read more from “New Study Looks at How Covid Vaccine Affected Fertility, Miscarriage During Pandemic” HERE)

“Buying and Selling the Bodies and Souls of Men”: US Women Now Using Fat from Dead Humans to “Enhance” Boobs, Butts

[G]iving new life to the fallen fat is how AlloClae — a glamorous, albeit ghoulish, new advancement in non-surgical cosmetic enhancements — is helping slim centerfolds in NYC and beyond achieve the BBLs and boob jobs of their wildest dreams.

And it’s different from all the other nonsurgical enlargements on the market because, well, it’s reliant on people who’ve kicked the bucket.

If you’re suddenly worried that ticking the organ donor box on your driver’s license could mean you wind up on someone else’s behind in the afterlife, it’s not that simple — the fat can come from full body donations, which are handled in the Empire State by the Associated Medical Schools of New York, which requires a separate, no limitations sign-up. . . 

AlloClae, from Tiger Aesthetics, a tissue engineering company, is the “first structural adipose tissue designed for aesthetic body procedures, providing cushioning, volume and support,” according to its website. . .

The company does not specify where exactly the fat they use comes from. Representatives for Tiger Aesthetics did not immediately respond to The Post’s inquiries about the production, cadaver screening process or the rising popularity of AlloClae, which hit the market in 2025.

Boy, 9, Severely Burned After Microwaving NeeDoh Sensory Toy in Resurfaced TikTok Trend

A 9-year-old boy in Chicago was nearly blinded after he was inspired by an old TikTok trend to microwave his NeeDoh sensory toy — which exploded in his face.

Caleb Chabolla, 9, heated up his NeeDoh Nice Cube in the microwave at his Chicago home after one of his friends told him the trick would make the rubber sensory toy more pliable.

His mother, Whitney Grubb, told ABC 7 she heard a blood-curdling shriek coming from their kitchen as Caleb sobbed, “It burns, it burns!”

The exterior of the cube is made of a non-toxic silicone — but the inside holds a glue-like substance that starts to sizzle and expand until it bursts when exposed to extreme heat.

That same substance splattered all over Caleb’s face when he opened the microwave.

“The right side of his face was kind of melting off, basically,” Grubb told the outlet. (Read more from “Boy, 9, Severely Burned After Microwaving NeeDoh Sensory Toy in Resurfaced TikTok Trend” HERE)

Jill Biden’s Ex-Husband Charged With Murdering Wife

William Stevenson, the ex-husband of former first lady Jill Biden, was arrested and charged on Tuesday with murdering his wife, Linda.

Stevenson was facing a first-degree murder charge in Delaware several weeks after his wife was discovered unresponsive in her living room while police responded to a domestic dispute call on Dec. 28, according to NBC News. The charges came following an “extensive weeks-long investigation” into Linda’s death, authorities said.

Police with the New Castle County Police Department said they attempted to perform life-saving measures on Linda after finding her unconscious upon arrival, according to NBC News. She was soon pronounced dead and her body was turned over to the Delaware Division of Forensic Science for an autopsy.

Stevenson is being held at Howard Young Correctional Institution after failing to pay a $500,000 bond, NBC News reported.
