Do Not Use Infant Head Shaping Pillows to Prevent or Treat Any Medical Condition - FDA.gov

• Trusted FDA cGMP online training classes, courses, and programs offered by SkillsPlus International Inc.

According to the FDA:

"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that parents and caregivers do not use infant head shaping pillows intended to change an infant’s head shape or symmetry or claim to prevent or treat any medical condition. The FDA is not aware of any demonstrated benefit with the use of infant head shaping pillows for any medical purpose. The use of head shaping pillows can create an unsafe sleep environment for infants and may contribute to the risk of suffocation and death.

Alcohol Deaths Take Lives of Working-Age Americans

I'm surprised at the research findings.

"Alcohol consumption is a leading preventable cause of death in the US, and death rates from fully alcohol-attributable causes (eg, alcoholic liver disease) have increased in the past decade, including among adults aged 20 to 64 years."

"The findings of this cross-sectional study suggest that an estimated 1 in 8 total deaths among US adults aged 20 to 64 years were attributable to excessive alcohol use, including 1 in 5 deaths among adults aged 20 to 49 years. The number of premature deaths could be reduced with increased implementation of evidenced-based, population-level alcohol policies, such as increasing alcohol taxes or regulating alcohol outlet density."

Your Favorite Cereal May No Longer Be 'Healthy' Under New FDA Guidance - Food and Wine

• FDA GMP online training courses, programs, and classes by SkillsPlus International Inc.

According to the article:

"The FDA has proposed a change to the definition of "healthy," and breakfast cereal brands, in particular, could suffer.  ...

"Under the proposed definition," the FDA wrote, "more foods that are part of a healthy dietary pattern and recommended by the Dietary Guidelines would be eligible to use the claim on their labeling, including nuts and seeds, higher fat fish (such as salmon), certain oils and water."

However, as the FDA admits, the changes could also force some foods to drop their healthy claims — and one example the agency has tossed around multiple times is breakfast cereal, in large part due to the proposed definition's increased emphasis on added sugars."

A new technology offers treatment for HIV infection through a single injection - World Pharma News

According to the article:

"Currently, the researchers explain, there is no genetic treatment for AIDS, so the research opportunities are vast. Dr. Barzel concludes: "We developed an innovative treatment that may defeat the virus with a onetime injection, with the potential of bringing about tremendous improvement in the patients' condition. When the engineered B cells encounter the virus, the virus stimulates and encourages them to divide, so we are utilizing the very cause of the disease to combat it. Furthermore, if the virus changes, the B cells will also change accordingly in order to combat it, so we have created the first medication ever that can evolve in the body and defeat viruses in the 'arms race'.

Based on this study we can expect that over the coming years we will be able to produce in this way a medication for AIDS, for additional infectious diseases and for certain types of cancer caused by a virus, such as cervical cancer, head and neck cancer and more."

Should You Worry About Vision Loss from Viagra? - The People's Pharmacy

According to the article:

"The likelihood of serious vision loss from Viagra is low, but a recent study confirms it is real. Report ANY changes in eyesight promptly!

Drugs for erectile dysfunction have become very popular. They include avanafil (Stendra), tadalafil (Cialis), vardenafil (Levitra) and the original, sildenafil (Viagra). Such drugs are referred to as phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors, abbreviated PDE5Is. Most men are interested in the benefits of such medications. The risks, on the other hand, get much less attention. A study published in JAMA Ophthalmology, April 7, 2022 reveals an often overlooked complication of PDE5Is: vision loss from Viagra and similar ED drugs."

Injectable Skin Lightening and Skin Bleaching Products May Be Unsafe - FDA.gov

• Trusted FDA GMP online training courses and programs taught by SkillsPlus International Inc. 

According to the FDA:

"Consumers need to beware of products to lighten or whiten their complexion. These products, which include both injectable skin whitening and skin bleaching products, are potentially unsafe and ineffective, and might contain unknown harmful ingredients or contaminants.

Injectable skin whitening products are marketed for injection into a vein or muscle or under the skin. They are sold online and in some retail outlets and health spas. They often promise to lighten the skin, correct uneven skin tone, and reduce blemishes. Some products even claim to treat conditions such as liver disorders and Parkinson’s disease.

Although the average consumer might not assume so, these products are unapproved new drugs whose sales are not condoned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA has not approved any injectable drugs for skin whitening or lightening."
