Kevin Hall can speak freely now.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The leading U.S. authority on the science of ultra-processed foods made headlines this spring when he accused the Trump administration of censoring his work<\/a> and opted to retire from his position<\/a> at the National Institutes of Health. Without interference from D.C. to worry about, and with a forthcoming book, \u201cFood Intelligence,\u201d to promote, Hall is ready to speak candidly about his experiences with the leaders of the Make America Healthy Again movement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That includes going into detail about why the plan for Hall\u2019s return to NIH \u2014 touted<\/a> by the agency\u2019s director Jay Bhattacharya \u2014 fell apart, and what Hall sees as top health officials\u2019 ongoing failure to pursue scientific answers about exactly how ultra-processed foods are hurting Americans\u2019 health.<\/p>\n
