- There is zero evidence to backup any claims either of you make regarding GMO. You can have your opinions of course, and agree with each other, but the data shows otherwise.
Hospitals scramble to get scarce kids' cancer drug
Fri Feb 17, 2012
- And your solution? Complaining never helps, we need constructive criticism. If you want to take the power away from corporate giants, start your own research lab. Make your company about saving lives and don't worry about profits. Then you can make statements like that.
Hospitals scramble to get scarce kids' cancer drug
Fri Feb 17, 2012
- While profits are always on the mind of any company, pharma or otherwise, many shortages are driven by limited access to the active ingredients and the strict regulation of drug manufacture.
Children's cancer drug shortage may ease soon
Wed Feb 15, 2012
- The shortage was caused because the API is in short supply, and because the mfgr must gain regulatory approval before it can ramp-up production. Believe me, where there is demand, a company would love to sell a product.
Fake Avastin sends docs scrambling to check records
Wed Feb 15, 2012
- Um no, counterfeiting happens BECAUSE these medications are coming from outside the US. They make their way here from other countries via the unregulated internet pharmacy industry, and black/grey market distributors.
High arsenic levels found in organic foods, baby formula
Thu Feb 16, 2012
- No Carrie, they are simply presenting the reality that organic label claims are unverified and small scale producers rarely have the budget to impurity test their organic-labeled products.

- Actually, you are confusing "they CAN test" with "they do test." I also worked for a CRO that performed impurity testing, and I currently work at a veterinary lab where one of our services tests beef for hormone and antibiotics.

- Interesting they ran an article earlier on MSNBC about how more marriages are interracial and how the acceptance has grown since the ban was lifted in 1967.

Thu Feb 16, 2012
- 2nd amendment - the right to bear arms. One still needs a license to carry a handgun. So yes, there are many actions that require a license while still being a right under our Constitution.

The gentleman who wrote of misty blue mountain chains in Denali has obviously read Hemingway. With your retort, it is assumed you have most certainly appreciated Ockham's Razors theory once or twice. I would put dollars to doughnuts that each of you know that in the matter of opinion, debate is useless.

A study published in the International Journal of Biological Sciences revealed the parameters of 60 different biochemicals in rats. Rats fed genetically modified corn were compared to their parents who had been fed non-GM corn. The results clearly showed a difference between the two groups. Rats fed GM food had signs of liver and kidney problems. Effects were also found on the heart, adrenal glands, and spleen.

According to PhysOrg.com, a Russian study found that 55.6 percent of the newborns of female rats fed genetically engineered soy flour before, during, and after pregnancy, died within three weeks. Only 9 percent of the offspring of rats fed non-GM soy died. In addition, 36 percent of the rats in the GM-fed group were underweight, compared with only 6.7 percent of the control group. In another study, groups of rats were fed GM tomatoes for 28 days. Seven of 20 developed bleeding stomachs, and seven out of a group of 40 rats died within two weeks.

Flight attendants are not there to "attend" to the passengers. Their sole purpose is to protect the safety and security of the passengers and each other. Everything else is just extra. If passengers did not act like entitled idiots all of the time, then maybe the flight attendants would be more likely to give a little extra attention than what is actually required....
