They told walnut distributer Diamond Foods that multiple studies showing heart health benefits of walnuts were not sufficient to allow such claims on the Diamond Foods website.

Potatoes and corn -- two of the WORST foods you can eat, even before the processing begins! But wait -- there's more... Our all-natural sunflower, corn and soybean oils contain good polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which help lower total and LDL 'bad' cholesterol and maintain HDL 'good' cholesterol levels, which can support a healthy heart. So you CAN'T say cherries provide antioxidants that benefit health, but you CAN clearly tell customers that corn chips help keep bones healthy and potato chips cooked in soybean oil can support a healthy heart.

What is Hemobartonella? by Miranda K.

This mycoplasma resides on the surface of red blood cells and produces extravascular hemolytic anemia. Transmission of the parasite is thought to occur by blood-sucking arthropods such as fleas. Mothers can transmit the parasite to their offspring. Animals with this infection are often able to survive for some time, but any condition that could compromise their immune system can make them more susceptible to effects of the disease. I learned way too much about this condition after a mother cat succumbed to it after spay surgery compromised her immune system. Her kittens were tested immediately and they are positive too.

I agree with you 100% on all of this. You and I could both spend a lot of time up on our soap box. Thanks.. Lorrie On 07-26, Natalie wrote: Dear Reader, Let go of that stem and back away from the cherry. It's for your own good. You see, that cherry is officially an unapproved drug, at least according to the Einsteins at the FDA. Obviously, that makes no sense. But it lead me to ask: If cherries are unapproved drugs, what does that make potato chips? Also compliments of the geniuses at the Food and Drug Administration: Heart healthy, of course! Fortunately, there may be a way out of this government-inflicted insanity. --- Over-the-counter cherries --- Cherries contain antioxidants and other anti-inflammatory components. The scientific evidence behind that statement is irrefutable. But when owners of cherry orchards made those claims and backed them up with links to the evidence, the FDA ruled that the claims cause your products to be drugs. Needless to say, none of the orchard owners had submitted their cherries for approval as drugs, so they were not allowed to continue the claims. Crazy? Oh...we're just getting started. Last year, Dannon settled a dispute with the FDA by paying out $21 million to several states where they had advertised their Activia yogurt and DanActive dairy drink. In those ads they said the products, help regulate your digestive system...naturally. That claim is based on what we know about the benefits of living cultures in probiotics. But the FDA decided that Dannon was actually claiming that Activia provided consumers with bowel movements at fixed, uniform or normal intervals. Clearly, that was not the case, but the agency's absurd decision ended up costing Dannon millions. And FDA officials were just as picky and difficult when it came to walnuts. They told walnut distributer Diamond Foods that multiple studies showing heart health benefits of walnuts were not sufficient to allow such claims on the Diamond Foods website. Again, the FDA ruled that the health claims classified walnuts as drugs. Now...if all that seems completely bat-house crazy, brace yourself -- seriously -- because here's what the FDA allows Frito-Lay to say about their products... You might be surprised at how much good stuff goes into your favorite snack. Good stuff like potatoes, which naturally contain vitamin C and essential minerals. Or corn, one of the world's most popular grains, packed with thiamin, vitamin B6, and phosphorous -- all necessary for healthy bones, teeth, nerves and muscles. Potatoes and corn -- two of the WORST foods you can eat, even before the processing begins! But wait -- there's more... Our all-natural sunflower, corn and soybean oils contain good polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which help lower total and LDL 'bad' cholesterol and maintain HDL 'good' cholesterol levels, which can support a healthy heart. So you CAN'T say cherries provide antioxidants that benefit health, but you CAN clearly tell customers that corn chips help keep bones healthy and potato chips cooked in soybean oil can support a healthy heart. That is true lunacy! In any rational world we'd be able to storm FDA headquarters and take them all away in straitjackets. As I said earlier, there may be a way out of this government-inflicted insanity. But to do it, we have to go through the government.

It seems that Christy's address book was hacked; this is the second one this afternoon/evening - they are probably sending this to all her personal contacts. It always has to do with those cheap pharmaceutical sites. This happened to several friends of ours...not sure what they did about it, though.
