A Better Prognosis for Big Pharma

) was revised to stable from negative on , owing to Standard and Poors belief that the long-running diet-drug litigation challenges, while continuing, will not ultimately result in a cash outflow that will limit the companys financial and operational flexibility. Thus, the rating will increasingly reflect Wyeths strong business risk profile, characterized by a diverse portfolio with significant exposure to biopharmaceuticals, minimal patent exposure over the next several years, and a rapidly maturing near-term product pipeline. Also, we believe that Wyeth, with its Prevnar vaccine and Enbrel -- two biopharmaceutical products that have minimal patent exposure and are still early in their product life cycles -- has one of the lowest sales exposures to Medicare Part D.

Ironically, the tendency of benzene to form is greatest in diet drinks. The documentary evidence shows that the industry intentionally kept the benzene formation secret from consumers. The FDA will announce their official test results shortly. Heat testing that represents real world conditions in summer MUST be done. Heat and sunlight in transportation and storage greatly accelerate the formation of benzene. It would be regulatory malfeasance of the highest order if the FDA has not stressed the products for heat. The industry needs to agree to recall all products over 10 parts per billions --- as has been done in places like South Korea, Finland and the UK. Testing is being done by food safety agencies worldwide.

2006-05-07 Portsmouth Herald Health News: Going gluten-free

If done properly, a gluten-free diet can be well-balanced and nutrient sufficient. It would probably be of benefit, however, to take a gluten-free multivitamin. Some health-care providers also suggest intake of omega 3 fatty acids. Attention should be paid to getting adequate fiber, calcium and iron.

Until the lactose intolerance is resolved, lactose-free products should be used to cover calcium, vitamin D and other nutrient needs.

If you are interested in feeding this type of diet, the Internet has a wealth of information, from sources to buy ready-made products to specific preparation methods that you do yourself. A few people in Fallon feed their dogs the BARF diet or some form of it and really believe in its effects. To them, the time spent procuring the ingredients and preparing the meals is paid back tenfold in a healthier dog.

The diet was developed by Australian veterinarian Ian Billinghurst. The BARF diet is based on feeding raw, meaty bones, animal offal (intestines, organs), raw vegetables and supplements instead of commercially-processed or cooked homemade diets. Wild dogs eat the stomach contents and intestines of their prey in addition to the meat and bones. This is what you provide for them, using the BARF diet.

2006-05-05 Health 24 - Weight loss - Losing weight

If you have tried to lose weight in the past and succeeded but regained all the weight you lost or even put on a few extra kilos, or if you failed, then it is less likely that you will succeed this time around. This could be due to a number of influences such as the Yo-Yo Diet Effect (see . Yo-Yo-Dieting Prevents Weight-Loss. ), increased production of the gastric hormone called ghrelin (see . Is Ghrelin the Answer to Obesity. ) which counteracts weight-loss, depressed or disturbed metabolism caused by slimming pills, or loss of lean muscle mass after using starvation diets, among others.

Even though the book is written by a Canadian author and is published in Canada, the information about food labels, food safety and nutrient content are all American. For example, Shulman tells dieters to pick food products with a label that says 100 percent whole wheat. This wont work for Canadians, says Finkelstein, since we need to choose a product with whole wheat as the first item in the ingredient list to be sure its made with whole grains.

Trans fatty acids (TFAs), also known as trans fats, result when hydrogen is added to liquid oils during a process called hydrogenation. This causes the fats to take on a "trans" structure, creating a fat that is solid, rather than liquid, and more stable-resulting in a longer shelf life. More than three-quarters of the trans fats in the American diet come from partially hydrogenated fats in processed foods. However, some occur naturally in meat and dairy products.
