FDA Warns Migraine Medicine Makers

The government said Thursday it had warned the world's largest maker of generic drugs and 19 other companies that they are illegally selling migraine medicines without federal approval.

The Food and Drug Administration said the 20 warning letters were part of an effort to halt the marketing of unapproved and potentially dangerous drugs. The goal is to get the unapproved drugs off the market, agency officials said. The manufacturers could seek agency approval for the products.

The prescription migraine treatments contain a drug called ergotamine tartrate. Ergotamine is derived from a rye fungus called ergot, from which a separate drug, the illegal hallucinogen LSD, also can be synthesized. Ergotamine is a vasoconstricting drug, meaning it narrows the blood vessels when taken.

Mr. Food - Kitchen Gadget Review: Mortar & Pestle

We're getting back to basics with an old tool that's making a big comeback: I consider the mortar and pestle the original food processor!We've all seen the mortar and pestle used as a pharmacist's tool, but actually it's been a kitchen tool for over 9,000 years! Practically every culture around the world has put this simple little club-shaped hand-held tool and bowl to use for grinding everything from grains to herbs, spices, nuts, seeds and much more.It's like the original food processor - except with no batteries or electricity required. It just takes some good old-fashioned elbow grease to release the flavors of our food and make them recipe-ready whether we need them crushed, crumbled, in paste or powder form.Available in loads of brands, styles, and price ranges, these kitchen helpers are making a big comeback.

Sharing food bites of information on different topics

First things first -- candy! Yes, I know; too much sugar isn't good for you, but Valentine's Day doesn't count. I hope yours was sweet. Before the 14th, I looked and looked, but could not find a bag of Brach's cherry red chewy hearts, with or without the crystalline sugar on the outside. They're on the order of those large cinnamon gummy bears (which are nothing like the gelatinous tiny gummy bears, which are fairly tasteless; OK, I've watched one too many episodes of "Unwrapped" on Food Network). Have you noticed that almost all Valentine candy is chocolate? Believe me, I have nothing against chocolate but where have all the chewy hearts gone? Apparently, into little 9.68 oz. plastic bottles at Target, which cost $5.99 each. I found them in the Valentine aisles, with a little tag on each saying, "My Funny Valentine -- Cinnamon Jelly Hearts." The joke is on me for paying that much ...

Nutrition Accuracy in Popular Magazines

In this, the tenth Nutrition Accuracy in Popular Magazines survey, ACSH found that more than three quarters (16 of 21) of the magazines included in the survey were EXCELLENT or GOOD sources of nutrition information; less than one quarter scored in the FAIR or POOR range. Overall, the highest scoring magazines were those in the "Consumer" category, while the "Health" category received the lowest scores; however, there were substantial differences among the scores of magazines within each category. As was also true in ACSH’s most recent previous survey, which included articles published in 2000 through 2002, health magazines aimed at male readers were especially likely to score in the FAIR or POOR range. Only one magazine earned a rating of EXCELLENT. Thus, there is still room for improvement in nutrition coverage, even in some of America’s most respected magazines.The results of the current survey indicate the following:Most of today’s consumer magazines are providing their readers with generally sound information about nutrition, but some errors and misconceptions can nevertheless be found in their articles.The quality of reporting on nutrition in popular magazines did not improve between 2000–2002 and 2004–2005 and may even have deteriorated over that time period.Health and fitness magazines aimed at male readers continue to have the poorest nutrition coverage.Because the nutrition coverage in popular magazines may not always be reliable, readers should be cautious about making changes in their eating habits exclusively on the basis of information they have obtained from magazine articles.The Survey: Methodology and Rating CriteriaFor this survey, as for the previous surveys in this series, ACSH identified top-circulating U.S.
