It’s time to say Auf Wiedersehen to the following six safety hazards: Iams Cat Food – Proctor & Gamble voluntarily recalled some Iams canned cat food for having insufficient levels of thiamine. (Los Angeles Times blog) McDonald’s Shrek-Themed Drinking Glasses – OK, so this one was last week, but McDonald’s is still getting lots of flak for their recall of their not-so-Happy Meal toys, which contained potentially dangerous levels of cadmium, a carcinogen that can cause kidney ailments. (TIME Magazine) Beado Handheld Bead Play Toys – Rhino Toys, Inc. voluntarily recalled their toys due to a choking haz...

Some spoke of steady revenue streams … that pay their daily costs … without much more. Others hoped that dollars would come to them … before their crunch set in too deep. A smaller group spoke of searching out financial streams … to fund some promising brainchild. Interestingly, this brainchild bunch … was often stopped short  by what they saw as financial flaws.They hadn’t found any fortunes reportedly risked by angel investors, in spite of entrepreneurs who say it's there. They’d wasted money on firms with quick fixes that never came. They’d exhausted their own good credit … which allowed them better interest rates...

The capsule, taken orally, could provide a more convenient way for diabetics to get insulin than through shots. And popping a gel cap would, needless to say, also be more convenient than toting and blowing on one of those big old clunky Exubera inhalers.In the quest to get its product to market, Oramed needs cash, and lots of it. Answering the call, a combination of private investors are putting up more than two million dollars in financing for the Israel-based company.It's hoped the money will help to propel the insulin capsule through completion of Phase 1 (drug safety) trials by the middle of next year.

Starbucks plans to make all espresso-based drinks with reduced fat milk, switching from whole. This new standard is planned to take effect by the end of the fiscal year, 2007 and will affect locations in the United States and Canada. The company stated that the new conversion would establish reduced fat milk, also known as 2% milk, as the standard dairy in all beverages served in its North American coffeehouses. Never fear - the company said customers can still request whole milk, but if no request is made, consumers will receive 2%. The fat trimming decision warrants applause. Starbucks is consciously working healthier choices into their business mo... The Diabetes Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=650904 Fri, 01 Jun 2007 04:00:00 +0100 650904
