POPSAre The Chinese Trying To Tell Us Something? This is scary. My family does not live and can not yet afford to move to a property where we can produce our own food; particularly, vegetables and fruits. We don't live near a farmer's market. So, we rely, like many Americans, on our local commissary or supermarket. The way I read this article, it's telling us there is very little we can do about this problem of tainted food and other necessities because by squashing China's imports we would be shooting ourselves in the foot. So it seems as if China is sending us poison--because they can. And there is nothing we can do about it. Even a vegan diet is not immune to potential poisoning unless you totally go homegrown.

POPSTell the FDA, "Don't mess with our chocolate!" This just opens the door for all the cheaper yummy chocolate to become cheaper crappy chocolate. Unless you want to pay Godiva prices for decent chocolate, take the time to tell the FDA not to change the requirements. Go to the source for info and how to help. Deadline for public comment is April 25, 2007.

POPSMany negative drug studies don't see print Perhaps one of the reasons so many people on antidepressants, commit suicide. What does that say about cloning research. The public are obviously seen as nothing more as a market. What do you do if someone is depressed? Stun them with pharmaceuticals, and hope they don't wake up, or are too disoriented to argue. Of course you can always expect doctors to do what is right according to the information that is provided to them.

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"

POPSBan kept for gay men donating blood The FDA claims that their ban does not discriminate against gay men. :roll: The ban is blatantly discriminatory, assuming that all gay men are promiscuous and irresponsible while heterosexuals are not.

POPSBeware of the Flu medication Two earlier FDA panels found no evidence of a direct link between Tamiflu and the deaths, although the FDA did ultimately update Tamiflu's label to add a caution urging close monitoring of patients for abnormal behavior such as delirium or self- injury. Relenza's label has no such warnings.

POPSCan't fund the war if we give kids insurance The audience of carefully handpicked Republicans, HMO representatives and others making billions in health care rose to their feet and cheered wildly as the Marine band p layed America the Beautiful. The President acknowledged the applause, and called Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Andrew von Eschenbach and Merck CEO Richard Clark to the podium where the ceremony concluded with Clark presenting von Eschenbach the keys to a new Cadillac Accolaide in appreciation of the FDA's approval of the new Merck pill to cure death

POPSKids getting high off Kava The FDA won't classify all natural supplements as drugs or validate any of their benefits because they don't want to step on The Drug companies toes.

POPSTroy's Poision Pill Please read this entire article in Mother Jones. It explains how a Bush appointee made it next to impossible for a person to sue a drug or pharmaceutical company, or medical device manufacturer for injuries sustained from use of their product. The claim goes that if the FDA approves a drug or device, that that should be the end of the line. As long as the product meets FDA approval, not judge or jury should be able to determine that said product could be responsible for someones injury. This is another example of how the Bush administration has put big business over human lives. Is it any wonder he demands preemptive immunity for communications companies, when he already had the FDA preempt medical liability lawsuits? This just gets disgustinger and disgustinger.

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
