Thanks to actions taken by thousands of natural health consumers across the country, Citizens for Health’s first informative issue briefing for Members of Congress and their staff was an incredible success!

This month, a new and important resource is available for natural health consumers nationwide—the first Natural Health Congressional Scorecard.  Now, individuals in the integrative health and wellness community can easily see where their Members of Congress stand on the issues that are important to natural health consumers.

Right now, Citizens and the Campaign are reaching consumers by partnering with over 5,000 health food and grocery stores and 10,000 alternative health practitioners to provide action alerts and voter registration flyers at the registers or pass these flyers out as bag stuffers.  This month, Citizens and the Campaign will distribute nearly 1 million action flyers nationwide through our growing retail store network.  Our flyers urge consumers to take actions to defend their health rights, register to vote and provide steps to make their families and communities healthier.  Consumers are directed to www.citizens.org where they can send an urgent message directly to their Member of Congress and stay informed.

A recent study by two Purdue University researchers found that the consumption of artificial sweeteners might impair your body’s natural ability to monitor calories.
