Hepatitis A Infected Blueberries Sicken 113, Hepatitis A Vaccine Over 435 Adverse Reactions – Blueberries Recalled
Conclusion
The beginning of this article shows the FDA and CDC removing a product, like blueberries, from the shelf when they determined it was infecting people and making them sick.
You can also see that vaccines for the same virus – which are considered to be a pharmaceutical drug – harm many more children than blueberries and still these vaccines remain untouched.
It’s my personal conviction the reason these organizations ignore adverse reactions is because pharmaceutical companies have firmly entrenched themselves within the US government, protecting their profits with laws.
Is the risk of vaccinating your child ...

Real-time PCR Detection of Foodborne Pathogenic Salmonella spp
.from Burkhard Malorny, Dietrich Mäde and Charlotta Löfström writing in Real-Time PCR in Food Science: Current Technology and Applications:Infections by Salmonella enterica are a significant public health concern worldwide. Salmonellae form a complex group of bacteria consisting of two species, six subspecies and more than 2500 serovars (serotypes). Mainly through ingestion of contaminated food or feed, they cause self-limiting gastrointestinal disease in a wide range of mammalian hosts.

Healthcare Update — 02-11-2013
Patients gone wild. Also, a perfect example of why doctors shouldn’t play security guard. Iowa man attempts to leave emergency department, doctor doesn’t allow him to do so. Patient then slams doctor against wall and puts doctor into a choke hold before being pulled off and restrained.
Who gets paid to study this stuff? “Researchers” find that number of ED visits for pubic hair grooming injuries is on the rise. I had a couple of snarky comments, but I’ll have to leave those to you all.

Americans Put Too Much Trust Into USDA Stamp of Approval
But Do Most Even Know What It Means?
When we go to the supermarket we look for the Grade A stamp on an egg carton, correct? I think that many of us do it without even thinking. Well, according to the Wall Street Journal article, most of us don’t really even know what the stamp means, but we put our trust in it that the USDA has approved this item for consumption, However, the truth about the stamp and how blindly we trust can be shocking.
The recent salmonella outbreak in our eggs did scare us as a society, sure, but did it change the way that we bought or researched our food. Probably not. Chances are that most of us as...

Overselling the microbiome: University Bern press release uses slight of hand to make mouse study seem to be about people
Interesting new paper came out recently on "Sex Differences in the Gut Microbiome Drive Hormone-Dependent Regulation of Autoimmunity." It is alas in Science so it is not available openly.
Anyway there are some news stories about the article where you can get the gist of it. Best one is probably the blog post by Christine Gorman: Transplanted Bacteria Turn Up Testosterone to Protect Mice against Diabetes. The story is pretty interesting.
For those who do not know I have been a bit obsessed about the connection between diabetes and the microbiome for a while. See my Ted talk for example where ...
