More frivolous litigation...

The New Litigation Against Teflon Won't Stick By Elizabeth M. Whelan, Sc.D., M.P.H. What next... a class action suit against all manufacturers of aspirin?

Replace cookware for everybody who owns Teflon pans! I remember reading once that aluminum cookware can cause Alzheimer's disease. The husband insisted we discard all our aluminum pans. Now that's the American way. ...but sue somebody for making the pans? This once agains shows the greed and pomposity of tort lawyers and their everlovin' greedy clients!

Diet Soda Makes You Fat...

..or so they say now. Last week the big news was that diet soda makes us fatter than regular soda. They postulate the reason is because the sweet without the calories just makes us hungrier.

She suggests that part of the problem could be because this was a preliminary report (not peer-reviewed) and perhaps only part of that report shared with the public.
