Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

IF WOMEN want to drink coffee, they would be wise to make it cafe au lait, in order to avoid osteoporosis, according to research from California. Women in the town of Rancho Bernardo who had a lifetime's intake of caffeinated coffee had lower bone mineral density, in both the hip and spine, than non-coffee drinkers. But the effect, reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, was offset among women who drank at least one pint of milk a day throughout their adult life.
