A top researcher at the National Health Institutes of Health on Ultra-Processed Foods on Wednesday announced that he was resigning from the agency by complaining against the top associates of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr for censorship.
“Unfortunately, recent events have questioned me as NIH continues to be a place where I can operate neutral science,” researcher Dr. Kevin Hall wrote on a post on social media on Wednesday.
Hall told CBS News that he was blocked by a direct interview department in the New York Times, asking recent research on how super-processed foods may be addicted.
The study has shown that ultra-processed foods do not seem addicted to addicted drugs, which make dopamine reactions in the brain external. That means excessive work of ultra-processed foods can occur for more complicated reasons.
“It simply suggests that they may not be addicted by a common process that many drug addicts. But in pre -conceptual narratives and this bit bit of our study was apparently very high,” said in a message.
Kennedy’s leading spokesman Andrew Nixon has revealed the results of the survey to this reporter, Hall said. The written answers in the hall were edited later and were sent to the reporter without his consent, he said.
“The truth is that it was the largest study of its kind and no previous study had the same level of dietary control, they were rarely recognized in the hospital to ensure diet loyalty,” said the hall.
A HHS spokesman denies CBS News that the HHS hall has edited the answer. In a statement, another HHS spokesman said “disappointing that this person is making false claims.”
The statement said, “NIH scientists continue to interview their research in written response or other ways.
In response to the department’s statement, he asked: “I wonder how they define the censorship?”
Hall said he was also blocked from presenting his research on super-processed food at a conference, and an ultimatum was given to comply with officials in an manuscript working with outside scientists or removed himself as co-authors.
“I was hoping it was a decline.
Prior to this week, the Hall was considered one of the leading researchers of NIH related to ultra-proceded foods. He was one of the experts in the CBS report investigating how super-processed foods have become so wide on the American diet.
Susan Maine, a former chief of the Food and Drug Administration Food Protection and Nutrition Center, said in a message, “He led a final clinical trial that ultra-processed foods lead to excessive infections.”
Maine said that more recent tasks focus on how to unpaly on how the super-processed diet leads to extra work.
“This work is important to understand what is mechanically about UPF that can drive obesity. In some places other than NIH, there is metabolic ward for this national research,” said Maine.
The initial retirement of the hall has identified the latest high-profile exit from NIH, which has seen and saw the rank of top scientists. Trim Under the administration of Trump From FebruaryThe
It also identifies the latest division between Kennedy and Federal scientists who have confused themselves in their priorities.
On Wednesday, Kennedy also discussed recent autism research from disease control and prevention centers that experts and advocacy groups say that the agency’s explorations were abused.
In contrast to previous publication from the ongoing study of Autism Spectrum Disorder, the latest results of federal scientists were not allowed to talk to the media about CBS News ReportThe
