FDA goes after California stem cell doc for unapproved breast implant device
The FDA this week sent a warning letter to a Beverly Hills, Calif.-based surgeon for their marketing of an unapproved implantable device, dubbed the Pocket Protector, which the surgeon claims can prevent and treat capsular contracture, or scar tissue tightening, during breast implant procedures.
In its letter, the federal watchdog also accuses the surgeon, Dr. Mark Berman, of “significant deviations from the FDA’s quality system requirements and current good manufacturing practices,” including charges related to the sterility of implantable devices.
“This is not the first time the FDA has notified D...

Tobacco Product Use Among Adults - United States, 2017.
Abstract
Cigarette smoking harms nearly every organ of the body and causes adverse health consequences, including heart disease, stroke, and multiple types of cancer (1). Although cigarette smoking among U.S. adults has declined considerably, tobacco products have evolved in recent years to include various combustible, noncombustible, and electronic products (1,2). To assess recent national estimates of tobacco product use among U.S. adults aged ≥18 years, CDC, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Institutes of Health's National Cancer Institute analyzed data from the 2017 National Health Int...

‘Forever Young’†—Testosterone replacement therapy: a blockbuster drug despite flabby evidence and broken promises
<span class="paragraphSection"><div class="boxTitle">Abstract</div>In the last decade, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) has been increasingly prescribed to treat a controversial condition known as ‘late-onset hypogonadism (LOH)’. This syndrome is diagnosed in men who, for no discernible reason other than older age, obesity or ill health have serum testosterone concentrations below the normal range for healthy young men and report one or more of the following symptoms: muscle weakness or wasting, mood, behaviour and cognition-related symptoms and sexual function or libido impairment. However, rec...

Making Sense of Nutraceuticals in China
The Chinese nutraceutical market is considered the third largest in the world after the US and Japan, or the fourth largest if Europe is counted as a single market.Despite strong fundamentals and high rates of annual growth, though, the Chinese market remains some way from realizing its true potential. Its evolution is muddied by ambiguities around what nutraceuticals actually are and how they should be managed.The result has been polarization between over-zealous regulation of so-called health foods, and a grey market where products have skirted approval procedures through questionable positioning or by exploiting alterna...

The Economic Benefits Of Healthier Eating: Why Corporations Can Be Natural Allies To Promote Better Diets
Nutrition is at the heart of many of the most important issues in our lives. From nourished children to vibrant aging, from social justice to sustainability, how we eat plays a major role in our health, our culture, and our happiness.
Yet, we rarely consider the tremendous economic impact of our food choices. Suboptimal nutrition is the leading cause of poor health in the United States and globally, principally related to chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, obesity, diabetes, and several cancers. In many nations, the costs of healthcare dwarf other programs in the national budget. In the United States, nearly ...

No more sneaking sugar into packaged foods
The iconic black-and-white Nutrition Facts label you find on packaged foods in the United States is getting its first makeover in two decades. The federal government decided last month to update the food label beginning in 2018 by listing how much sugar has been added to a product.
The current label lumps added sugar with naturally occurring sugars in the foods themselves, which is a deceptive practice, said Dr. John Swartzberg, a UC Berkeley clinical professor emeritus and editorial board chair of the UC Berkeley Wellness Letter. So listing added sugar “will hopefully guide people away from consuming products with a ...

Pretty Much Nobody In The U.S. Leads A Healthy Lifestyle
Only 2.7 percent of U.S. adults hit the four key metrics of living a healthy lifestyle -- abstaining from smoking, eating well, exercising and maintaining a healthy body fat percentage -- according to a disheartening new study. The study's lifestyle benchmarks for health weren't particularly high. Being smoke-free, exercising moderately and eating USDA recommended foods don't seem like particularly difficult marks to hit. So why do so many Americans fall short of living healthy lives? "That is the million dollar question," Ellen Smit, a senior author of the study and an associate professor at the Oregon State Un...
