Top NIH Scientist Studying Ultraprocessed Foods Resigns, Says He’s Being Censored
HuffPost
"Unfortunately, recent events have made me question whether NIH continues to be a place where I can freely conduct unbiased science," wrote Dr. Kevin Hall.
The National Institutes of Health’s top expert on ultraprocessed foods resigned Wednesday, saying in a public letter that he was doing so after NIH leaders censored the findings of a study that didn’t support their own preconceived narratives.
“After 21 years at my dream job, I’m very sad to announce my early retirement from the National Institutes of Health,” wrote Dr. Kevin Hall in a letter published on social media.
“Unfortunately, recent events have made me question whether NIH continues to be a place where I can freely conduct unbiased science.”
Hall said he was initially optimistic that new leadership at the agency, now under the control of Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr., would prioritize research into ultraprocessed foods and how their consumption impacts our health.
Kennedy has long maligned ultraprocessed foods, blaming them for a wide variety of physical and mental health issues, from diabetes to various cancers to autoimmune disorders.
