Constituent Updates > FDA Sets Standards for Infant Formula:

"FDA is also publishing two draft guidance documents to provide industry with additional information related to the interim final rule. One draft guidance document addresses the manufacture of infant formula products made for infants with unusual medical or dietary problems, such as infants who are born extremely premature and have special dietary needs; this type of formula is not the subject of the interim final rule. The other draft guidance document explains how manufacturers of currently and previously marketed infant formulas can demonstrate that their products meet the quality factor requirements of the interim final rule."

How About A Side Of Acrylamide With Your Fries or Chips?

Updated May 24, 2016  - the original post had tons of broken links.

The FDA has had a long history of monitoring acrylamide in our diet. Acrylamide can be formed in various heat-treated, carbohydrate-rich foods. Particularly high concentrations of acrylamide can be found in potato chips, breakfast cereals, and crisp bread. It's thought that eating food products containing acrylamide might constitute a potential risk to human health. This recent study, Chronic intake of potato chips in humans increases the production of reactive oxygen radicals by leukocytes and increases plasma C-reactive protein: a pilot study suggests that acrylamide from foods may increase the risk of heart disease, reports this Medical News Today article, Study Provides Additional Evidence That Potato Chips Should Be Eaten In Moderation.

I'm not going to stop eating potato chips or fries. And I will try to avoid eating too much of them. Will this information change your diet?
