Shelley Luther refused to let officials wreck her salon and the paychecks of the women who worked there. When they threw her in jail for the “crime” of reopening so families could eat, she became living proof that ordinary people still have a spine.

That is how it is supposed to work. Stand up, take the hit, and let the people decide. Luther did all three, and now she writes the laws instead of sitting under them.

If you suffer from mysterious joint pain, fatigue, digestive issues, allergies, or inflammation that won’t go away, check your food labels right now. The culprit could be “citric acid” — but it’s not from lemons. It’s manufactured from black mold.
Nearly 100% of all commercial citric acid (found in sodas, candies, salad dressings, canned foods, juices, supplements, protein powders, ice cream, and even “natural” products) is produced using Aspergillus niger — a fungus known as black mold.
How It’s Made:
Factories grow this black mold on cheap sugars (corn, molasses, or beets) in massive fermentation tanks. The mold produces citric acid as waste. It’s then filtered, processed, and turned into the white powder you see on labels. This cheap method has been the global standard since the early 1900s.
Throughout its production, trace mold residues, proteins, and metabolites remain. For ...
