When the mainstream media refuses to print the truth about a significant study detailing the health benefits of antioxidants and, instead, parrots the erroneous conclusions of a pro-pharmaceutical medical association, it's time for citizens to take a stand and demand accountability. Today, NewsTarget announces a grassroots action campaign to demand retractions, corrections or clarifications from major media outlets -- Fox News, ABC News, CNN, Reuters, WebMD and more -- all of which printed incorrect, incomplete or misleading statements concerning the results of an antioxidant study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
The study clearly showed that women who took vitamins E and C experienced a statistically significant and rather remarkable reduction in risk of heart attacks (22 percent reduction), strokes (31 percent reduction) and other cardiovascular events. Yet the American Medical Association issued a press release implying that the study found antioxidants to be of no use whatsoever, and the mainstream media ran that as de facto news without bothering to assess whether the opinion of the AMA was, in fact, true. (And apparently without actually reading the study in question.)
The American Medical Association is a pro-pharmaceutical group with a dubious history of promoting extremely dangerous and deadly products. It has taken millions of dollars from tobacco companies, for example, to promote cigarettes in its medical journal (JAMA). It has also been found guilty in U.S. courts of antitrust violations in its attempts to destroy chiropractic medicine. The AMA has also been implicated in at least one shady deal where it received "licensing fees" from companies in exchange for permission to print the AMA logo on products even without bothering to conduct any sort of safety tests on those products. Click here to read these details about the AMA.
The AMA's medical journal, JAMA, remains largely funded by drug company interests. Thus, it is no surprise that the AMA's spin on this recent antioxidant study seemed designed to make vitamins look useless, thereby dissuading consumers from taking substances that ultimately compete with pharmaceuticals.
This behavior by the AMA is not unusual, nor unanticipated. What's shocking in all this is just how blindly the mainstream media swallowed the AMA's opinion on the facts of the study. According to virtually all the headlines printed in major media outlets, this study found vitamins E and C to be utterly worthless in preventing cardiovascular disease and stroke. And yet, in reality, the study proved that those women who actually took the vitamins were protected to such a high degree than almost no pharmaceutical on the market can match their success! It's true: A pharmaceutical that reduced stroke risk by 31 percent while introducing no negative side effects would be considered a medical miracle. But when it's an antioxidant in question, the AMA essentially declares it to be useless.
This particular distortion was achieved by counting the results of all the women who did NOT take the antioxidants. If you look at the total outcomes and include the women who took no antioxidants, then of course the results don't look very impressive. Click here to read our previously published article explaining this in more detail, or click here to read Byron Richards' assessment of the study which provides even more technical details.
The mainstream media has failed the American people yet again. Rather than investigating the story and printing the truth, they have simply repeated misleading information put out by an organization with an obvious pro-pharma agenda. Some might say these media outlets know exactly what they're doing: They, too, earn billions of dollars each year from drug company advertisements. Perhaps they are just playing along with the false story, hoping to keep their advertisers happy by discrediting nutritional supplements through abuse of their power. But I tend to think that media outlets at least try to print the truth, and with this issue, I believe they were simply suckered by the AMA. They trusted the AMA to tell them the truth, and they reprinted the AMA's biased opinion with blind faith, believing the AMA would never distort an important scientific study.
But I believe they were wrong. I believe the AMA intentionally distorts such information in order to achieve its aim of discrediting nutritional supplements, thereby eliminating the competition for high-profit prescription drugs. Remember, the AMA has already been found guilty by U.S. courts of anti-trust attempts to destroy one competing system of medicine (Chiropractic medicine). It's not a stretch at all to believe they would engage in actions to try to destroy another (nutritional medicine).
All we are asking the media to do is report the truth about this particular study. We ask no more than an objective reporting of the facts published in the Archives of Internal Medicine and some degree of journalistic skepticism concerning the opinions of pro-pharma groups like the AMA.
Please do your part to contact one or more of the major media outlets listed below, and demand a retraction and correction. A sample letter is included below. You may copy and paste this letter, or modify it to make it your own. If you get a meaningful reply, email it to us, and we'll publish the most interesting ones.

Your organization recently published an incorrect article regarding a major antioxidant study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. Your article implied that the study found no protective benefits for women taking antioxidants, when in fact, the study found a significant reduction in the risk of stroke (31 percent reduction) and heart attacks (22 percent reduction) for those women who actually took the antioxidants. This is even more substantial given that the antioxidants were provided in low doses and only taken every other day.
The absence of protective benefits was observed in those women who did not actually take the vitamins. (Those women who took no vitamins experienced no benefits, which is expected.) These facts are openly stated in the full text of the study, which is available from the journal's website at http://archinte.ama-assn.org/current.dtl (study name is "A Randomized Factorial Trial of Vitamins C and E and Beta Carotene in the Secondary Prevention of Cardiovascular Events in Women: Results From the Women's Antioxidant Cardiovascular Study")
The AMA's statement on antioxidants having no benefits in this study is based on the inclusion of all those women who did not take the antioxidants. I believe this conclusion to be biased in favor of drug company interests and wholly incorrect from a scientific point of view. I believe the article you originally published in this study may have been based on an erroneous press release issued by the AMA which, in my opinion, distorted the findings of the study and presented a biased position that happens to coincide with the financial interests of drug companies - a primary source of revenue for the AMA.
By reprinting the AMA's conclusions without fact checking your article, you have made a classic journalism error and likely played into the hands of an organization that has a long history of discrediting natural alternatives to pharmaceuticals. As such, you have done a great disservice to your readers who will now be less likely to seek out these safe, natural and highly effective therapies for preventing heart disease and stroke.
I respectfully request that you retract your original story on this antioxidant study and print a correction that accurately describes the factual findings of the study. Please reply and let me know your intentions in making this correction.
Regards,
[Your name here]
This is an opportunity for these media outlets to define their character. Are they willing to engage in basic fact checking and actually report the truth about a major medical finding, or will they kow-tow to the AMA and simply repeat whatever biased opinion the AMA publicly announces? The essential question here is: Does the media have any interest in reporting the truth?
The response to this grassroots action campaign will tell us the answer. Either we will see corrections printed in these media outlets, or our requests will be ignored. I personally have no idea which way these organizations will go with this item, but I am deeply curious to find out.
I have no desire to publicly embarrass these media outlets. Rather, I hope to simply wake them up to the fact that intelligent readers won't put up with lazy journalism that refuses to ask fundamental questions before reporting the "facts" on significant scientific studies. The mainstream media needs to be reminded, from time to time, that readers are not going to sit back and just swallow blatant falsehoods.
Please join me in taking action now to contact these media outlets and demand a retraction of their original reporting on this antioxidant study.

About the author:Mike Adams (aka the "Health Ranger") is a best selling author (#1 best selling science book on Amazon.com) and a globally recognized scientific researcher in clean foods. He serves as the founding editor of NaturalNews.com and the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation. Adams is also highly proficient in running liquid chromatography, ion chromatography and mass spectrometry time-of-flight analytical instrumentation.
Adams is a person of color whose ancestors include Africans and Native American Indians. He's also of Native American heritage, which he credits as inspiring his "Health Ranger" passion for protecting life and nature against the destruction caused by chemicals, heavy metals and other forms of pollution.
Adams is the founder and publisher of the open source science journal Natural Science Journal, the author of numerous peer-reviewed science papers published by the journal, and the author of the world's first book that published ICP-MS heavy metals analysis results for foods, dietary supplements, pet food, spices and fast food. The book is entitled Food Forensics and is published by BenBella Books.
In his laboratory research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products.
In addition to his lab work, Adams is also the (non-paid) executive director of the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (CWC), an organization that redirects 100% of its donations receipts to grant programs that teach children and women how to grow their own food or vastly improve their nutrition. Through the non-profit CWC, Adams also launched Nutrition Rescue, a program that donates essential vitamins to people in need. Click here to see some of the CWC success stories.
With a background in science and software technology, Adams is the original founder of the email newsletter technology company known as Arial Software. Using his technical experience combined with his love for natural health, Adams developed and deployed the content management system currently driving NaturalNews.com. He also engineered the high-level statistical algorithms that power SCIENCE.naturalnews.com, a massive research resource featuring over 10 million scientific studies.
Adams is well known for his incredibly popular consumer activism video blowing the lid on fake blueberries used throughout the food supply. He has also exposed "strange fibers" found in Chicken McNuggets, fake academic credentials of so-called health "gurus," dangerous "detox" products imported as battery acid and sold for oral consumption, fake acai berry scams, the California raw milk raids, the vaccine research fraud revealed by industry whistleblowers and many other topics.
Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.
In addition to his activism, Adams is an accomplished musician who has released over a dozen popular songs covering a variety of activism topics.
