uhhhh, BPA (bis phenol A) might actually linger on for a long time in the body, reports this Plastics News article, Rochester study says BPA may linger in the body. Just when you thought it might be safe, this bit of news is worrisome. It might mean that there are more possible sources of BPA exposure running around, and/or it just hangs around in the body longer in certain tissues like fat.

FDA Draft Guidance - Accredited Labs - Submission Packages

The FDA Draft Guidance for Industry on Submission of Laboratory Packages by Accredited Laboratories is intended to enhance the quality and reliability of test results submitted by importers to demonstrate that their products meet the FDA's requirements. The guidance advises importers how to use accredited -- rather than non-accredited -- laboratories and makes recommendations about the quality and type of test data and information that these laboratories should produce in support of test results submitted to the FDA. The draft guidance is also intended to reduce the likelihood that an importer will select only favorable test results to submit to the FDA. This draft guidance supports the FDA's import strategy emphasizing prevention of harm, intervention when risks are identified, and rapid response after harm has occurred.

Wow - FDA OKs Stem Cell Trial - This is a red letter day!

I'm thrilled to see some momentum gaining in this potentially rich area of clinical research. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted clearance for Geron Corp. to begin trials for the world's first study of a human embryonic stem cell-based therapy for people. Geron said it will begin a Phase I multicenter trial designed to establish the safety of its treatment, currently referred to as "GRNOPC1," in patients with complete Grade A subacute thoracic spinal cord injuries. Read more details in this Medical News Today article, US Approves First Trial Of Embryonic Stem Cells.

I'm of the opinion that stem cell research has been stifled for way too long, and it's good to see the appearance of these studies. What's your opinion?

If you're in the middle of the winter cold bug season, then read this USA Today article, The science of hand washing to ward off cold, flu bugs. We know that hands contaminated with cold or flu viruses can result in catching the bug. Bottomline, you want to wash your hands with soap and water by scrubbing well for at least 20 seconds, and alcohol hand gels are a good second choice. When drying your hands, one advantage of using paper towels, is that you can use the towel to touch a potentially contaminated bathroom door handle when exiting.
