POPSThat ugly Salmonella Saintpaul Incredible inconsistencies! An Outbreak is local event; when we calling it Multi-State, this is already nationwide Epidemic. 810 cases in 36 states in 3 months are Nationwide Epidemic? Common! What are you talking about?:) And now is the trouble with repacking... To tell the true, that plum tomatoes are really disgusting: tasteless, resinlike and even oily when you touch them. Where it's from: fashion hydroponic method of growing or just microbial film from those handlers-repackers? In this particular case it make sense to wash these veggies with detergent. In case you've got strong decision not trowing them away from very beginning and keep them for yourself. ;)

POPS125 Fake Cancer 'Cures' You Should Avoid I only clipped the names of the persons/corporations responsible. Watch out for these. See source for the complete list. The products contain ingredients such as bloodroot, shark cartilage, coral calcium, cesium, ellagic acid, Cat's Claw, an herbal tea called Essiac, and mushroom varieties such as Agaricus Blazeii, Shitake, Maitake, and Reishi. These products claim to cure, treat, mitigate or prevent disease, and these products have not been shown to be safe and effective for their labeled conditions of use. Examples of fraudulent claims for these products include: * "Treats all forms of cancer" * "Causes cancer cells to commit suicide!" * "80% more effective than the world's number one cancer drug" * "Skin cancers disappear" * "Target cancer cells while leaving healthy cells alone" * "Shrinks malignant tumors" * "Avoid painful surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or other conventional treatments"

POPSAmericans Need Not Apply Corporations that were formerly thought of as great American companies have betrayed their home and their people and now wave the banner of globalist corporations instead of the American flag. They have no loyalty to the American worker who has grown old in a lifetime of service to their corporations. And they have no sense of obligation to the generations who now seek a future with them. Governmental departments like the FDA are to blame for lowering safety standards and not having the courage to hold politicians and corporations accountable when safety and standards are compromised. They are too weak to demand proper funding so safety measures can be assured. The link below will lead you to a site that lists American products proudly made by American workers. While you are there, visit the site in total for it is a treasure trove of information. http://www.devvy.com/made_inthe_usa.html

POPSAnother Disappointment For Merck The FDA has opted not to approve the cervical cancer vaccine Gardasil for women aged 27 through 45. Gardasil remains approved for girls and women aged 9 through 26. Lately, Merck's record with the FDA seems blemished. Exactly what issues does the agency have with Merck's Gardasil application? Merck doesn't really say.

POPSPrasugrel Delayed The Food and Drug Administration will take another three months to make a decision on Lilly's blood thinner. Given the lack of an advisory panel and the controversy surrounding the drug, this is not a huge surprise. Exactly what info the FDA needs going forward is not clear.

POPSNine Salmonella Victims Ate at One Chain... ``The restaurant is not the problem,'' said FDA spokeswoman Julie Zawisza in an e-mail today. ``The tomatoes are.'' Poor tomatos! Scapegoats like these always at the hand. Underpaid, haunted kitchen workers are only one part of problem, another - management in restaurants and overall culture of processing food. Wash your hands with soap, rinse your tomato without soap or brush - don't get crazy and enjoy off this wonderful gift of nature.

Hot House Foods Inc. “They know our product is safe.” Canadian retailers are also buying Canadian as they continue to stock tomatoes for their customers."

POPSFDA Looking Into Safety of RA Drugs TNF blockers like Remicade, Enbrel, Humira, and Cimzia are big sellers for drug companies. The FDA's investigation is preliminary -- part of the agency's effort to let consumers know about potential problems earlier. This was partly a response to the Avandia controversy.

POPSCan't Always Believe The Briefing Docs Ligand got hammered because FDA scientists were doubtful about its Promacta. But a panel says the data support its use. Of course, the FDA doesn't have to follow the advice of its panels. Still, things are looking a lot better for Ligand -- proof that even scathing briefing documents don't have to sink a drug. It ain't over 'til it's over.
