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.

Meet the new pox; same as the old pox

It’s not as if the U.S. monkeypox response has been ideal, but we actually began with a head start. Unlike in the early days of COVID-19, viable vaccines were available for monkeypox in the form of smallpox vaccines.

Vitamin D to fight COVID-19? Not so fast.

Remember hydroxychloroquine? Yes, there were anecdotes and observational studies, but, no, it flunked the gold standard for evidence, randomized controlled trials. Ditto with ivermectin.

Vision

CSPI’s vision for health equity, racial equity, and racial justice

Founded in 1971, the Center for Science in the Public Interest is an independent, science-based consumer advocacy organization with a record of accomplishments and a clear and ambitious agenda for improving the food system to support healthy eating. While we are proud about the impact our wins have made, we are aware that our policies and practices have historically not sufficiently centered health equity. This awareness motivated us to invest in organizational change work related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in recent years.

Watergate’s long shadow obscures a Nixon achievement that should be celebrated: Improving the way America eats.

Surprise! Supplement makers claim their products are effective against long Covid

It’s no surprise that in this confusing environment, with millions of patients desperate for help, some companies have taken advantage of how loosely dietary supplement claims are regulated to sell unproven long COVID treatments.
