]]> Comment on Drugs Are the New Blankets by Stephanie Whited http://toremember.wordpress.com/2009/07/13/drugs-are-the-new-blankets/#comment-139 Stephanie Whited Thu, 16 Jul 2009 16:25:56 +0000 http://toremember.wordpress.com/?p=130#comment-139 Thanks for your comment. It is pretty stupid, all it takes is trying a blanket for a few minutes. How much damage can a blanket do? So if it warms them up and interferes with the cooling process, take it off and only minutes are lost. But forcing the patient to ingest a chemical with known and unknown side effects that could last some indeterminate time before trying something as simple and logical and empathetic as a blanket, it almost seems inhumane.

If you're cooling a patient in order to assist in their healing, you could logically think that putting a blanket on them would warm them up and thus partially negate the cooling process. So they would use drugs to stop the discomfort of the shivering while still allowing the cooling to continue. If using blankets doesn't significantly change the cooling, then no one ever sat down and did the numbers, which is kind of stupid. I could see the reason for the issue by reading the article.

]]> Comment on Cheerios’ Cholesterol Claims Under Fire by FDA by Stephanie Whited http://toremember.wordpress.com/2009/05/19/cheerios-cholesterol-claims-under-fire-by-fda/#comment-134 Stephanie Whited Tue, 09 Jun 2009 02:17:35 +0000 http://toremember.wordpress.com/?p=106#comment-134 Thank you very much for your comment! I agree this statement is very true of the FDA's attacks. It will be very interesting to see if Cheerios can support its claims, and if they can be supported, if they will be allowed to stay in print. Although GM is a very large corporation, the verdict will be used to decide how supplements making health claims are treated in the future. Thank you very much for your comment!

While this issue may appear to some as the FDA protecting consumers from false advertising by a large corporation, that is not the case. For years FDA has been keeping various food producers from telling consumers about the healthful nature of their product. For example, cherry growers were targeted by the FDA and kept from referencing peer-reviewed scientific articles proving cherries’ health benefits for gout and arthritis. FDA has also barred health claims about the benefits of fish oil for heart, cancer, depression, body pain, and various other conditions. This type of FDA enforcement isn’t protecting us but restricting consumer access to scientific studies that could provide extremely valuable information.
