Lab Test

Time is running out for Congress to act on medical device regulation

Laboratory-developed tests, or LDTs, differ from conventionally manufactured tests in that they are developed and used in one laboratory. Although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has the clear authority to review these tests for safety and effectiveness, it has chosen not to do so to date.

Titanium dioxide

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a color additive currently approved for use in the U.S. in human food, drugs, cosmetics (e.g., sunscreens), and medical devices (e.g., contact lenses). Based on evidence that TiO2 nanoparticles present in food-grade titanium dioxide can accumulate in the body and cause DNA damage, CSPI rates titanium dioxide as “Avoid”.

Watchdog group to consumers: Avoid titanium dioxide

It adds a bright white color to coffee creamers, baked goods, chewing gums, hard-shell candies, puddings, frostings, dressings, and sauces. But the nanoparticles found in “food-grade” titanium dioxide may accumulate in the body and cause DNA damage—which is one way chemicals cause cancer and other health problems.

Alcohol Labeling Complaint Press Release

Consumer groups obtain TTB commitment to issue rulemakings on mandatory alcohol labeling

A coalition of consumer groups today announced an important victory for the American public: the Treasury Department’s Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) has agreed to issue proposed rules requiring standardized alcohol content, calorie, and allergen labeling on all beer, wine and distilled spirts products.

Which alcoholic beverages have the most (or least) calories?

A typical 6 oz. glass of wine or 12 oz. beer has as many calories as a can of Coke (140). Some beers have twice that much. But you’d never know the calories in alcoholic drinks from many of their labels and non-chain-restaurant menus. (Chain restaurants must disclose calories for drinks on their menus, and some beer brewers and other alcohol companies label calories voluntarily.)

Diabetes 101

Insulin acts as a key that allows blood sugar (glucose) to enter the body’s cells, where it can be burned for fuel or stored. But in some people, the key can’t open the lock.
