Dr. Oz Was Right, The FDA Lied, and Americans Lose!

Image via Wikipedia

By Associated Press

The federal Food and Drug Administration and a leading doctor are disputing suggestions by television show host Dr. Mehmet Oz that trace amounts of arsenic in many apple juice products pose a health concern.

Oz said on his show Wednesday that testing by a New Jersey lab has found what he implied are troubling levels of arsenic in many juices.

However, the FDA says the lab methods were not appropriate and that its own tests show much lower arsenic levels. The agency warned “The Dr. Oz. Show” producers in advance that their testing was misleading.

Dr. Richard Besser, a pediatrician and former acting head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, also scolded Oz Thursday on ABC’s “Good Morning America” show for scaring consumers with what Besser called an “extremely irresponsible” report, like “yelling ‘Fire!’ in a movie theater.”

The issue: arsenic is naturally present in water, air, food, and soil in organic and inorganic forms, according to the FDA.

“Organic arsenic is essentially harmless,” the agency says, and it passes through the body quickly. Inorganic arsenic is the type found in pesticides, and consuming it at high levels or over a long period can cause concern.

The testing “The Dr. Oz Show” did was for total arsenic, and the FDA even disputes those levels. The agency’s own tests found lower total arsenic from one of the same juice batches the show’s lab tested.

“There is no evidence of any public health risk from drinking these juices. And FDA has been testing them for years,” the statement says.

Consumer Reports finds high arsenic levels in juice: Was Dr. Oz right?

(CBS) Is juice dangerous? A new study from Consumer Reports suggests some popular juices contain high levels of arsenic and lead.

Amid public concern over contaminated juice, the magazine announced Wednesday that it had tested 88 juice samples, and found roughly 10 percent of samples – mostly from five brands – had arsenic levels above the federal bottled water standard of 10 parts per billion (ppb).

Arsenic levels in apple juices ranged up to 13.9 ppb. Grape-juice levels were even higher, up to 24.7 ppb. Most of the arsenic was inorganic, a form that has been linked to cancer.

“People sometimes say, ‘If arsenic exposure is so bad, why don’t you see more people sick or dying from it?,’” Dr. Joshua Hamilton, a toxicologist and chief academic and scientific officer at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass., told Consumer Reports. “But the many diseases likely to be increased by exposure even at relatively low levels are so common already that its effects are overlooked simply because no one has looked carefully for the connection.”

Arsenic wasn’t the only contaminant found in juice. Twenty-five percent of samples contained lead at levels above 5 ppb, the FDA limit for bottled water. There is no arsenic or lead standard in juice, prompting the magazine to call on the FDA to consider implementing standards for juice since kids drink a lot of juice. According to Consumer Reports, a recent poll shows 35 percent of children 5 and younger exceed pediatrician’s recommendations by drinking more than six ounces of juice per day – the size of a juice box.  [Read More of the Story]

GOOD NEWS: And these signs shall follow them that believe;…if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; [Mark 16:17-18 KJV].  Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. [Matt. 11:28 NLT].   I’m just saying, He is available if you need Him!

Shattered Families…

How can our cities and Nation afford to shatter immigrant families? These families, who may never see their children again, become the financial responsibility of the US. The parents are maintained until deported and the children are maintained until they age-out of the foster care system. We already have problems with the US foster care system, and when these immigrant children age-out of the fcsystem many will continue to be a financial burden on the government in some form or another, especially since many families won’t ever know where their parents and children are. How can an economy that is teetering on the verge of collapse support this, or the additional aged-out children?  And why are we ripping children from the arms of their parents when abuse is not an issue. This growing unrest is an indication of things to come.

Approximately 285,000 foster care teens “age-out” of the foster care system or become emancipated each year. Once they leave the system, their state and foster families are no longer required to give them assistance. They are left to fend for themselves.

Unfortunately, many foster care teens don’t have the support and life skills necessary to live on their own. Foster care studies show that 25 percent of “aged-out” foster kids must earn a living without a high school diploma or GED. At least 20 percent of have been homeless and fewer than 20 percent are able to support themselves. Nearly a quarter of former foster care children are incarcerated within two years of their emancipation. Because they lack the support systems most young adults take for granted, aged-out foster care teens are at high risk for substance abuse, domestic violence, and poverty. {Jamie Littlefield} [SOURCE]

Kris Humphries Was The ‘Husband From Hell’…I believe It.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries have held off on disparaging one another to the press, but now the dirt is beginning to fly. Us Weekly is calling the 26-year-old basketball player, the ‘husband from hell,’ with insiders telling the magazine that Humphries could be downright cruel to his 31-year-old bride. 

“He belittled her in front of people,” said one source. “He’d call her stupid. It was truly sickening.”   And it won’t surprise anyone to learn that the source claims, Kris resented Kim’s fame:  “He tried to control Kim by bringing her down … He would say truly terrible things.

One time, he said she had no talent and her fame wouldn’t last.”  While the value of Kim’s talent is often contested in the court of public opinion,  those aren’t the kind of words you expect to hear from your husband.  But those claims against Humphries don’t sound so far fetched when you recall a recent promo for “Kourtney & Kim Take New York”. In the promo, Kim is seen arguing with Kris about how she could have a career if she lived in Minnesota, and Kris replied that by the time she had kids no one will care about her anymore. 

And of course, in the 4-hour wedding special that aired just weeks before Kim filed for divorce, there was an uncomfortable moment, when Kris lashed out at Kim, telling her, “Four years ago you were selling clothes at a boutique in the Valley and now you think you’re Miss Princess?”Us Weekly’s source also claims that Humphries even took aim at Kim’s most famous asset, calling her “fat ass” during an argument. [SOURCE]

Could it possibly be that this is exactly why Kim filed for divorce within 72 days of marriage. Could it be that she was too caught up in her “feelings” of new love? Could it be that she overlooked signs of this behavior before the wedding. This is very sad, but when you know better, you can do better. Hopefully Kim will do better in the matters of the heart from now on.

Groom Commits Suicide Just Hours After Wedding.

A 28-year-old Bronx man who felt pressured into marrying his high school sweetheart, took his own life hours after the wedding.

Family members said Brazier suffered from depression in the months leading up to the wedding.

“He would tell me that Trudy was a good person [but] he didn’t want to marry her; he was feeling like he was pressured,” Ms. Weeks told the NY Post.

Fernando Brazier left a suicide note at the front desk of the Radisson Hotel in New Rochelle, New York, where he married 26-year-old Trudian Hay the day before. His wedding ring was inside the envelope, according to Mr. Brazier’s sister Shawna Weeks.

“He said he couldn’t take anymore, and to take care of his kids,” she told the NY Post.

Police recovered Brazier’s body at the bottom of the Harlem River — where his suicide note indicated he would be.

I posted this story because first read the headlines of the story, I thought how could a person be with someone this long and not know really know them. Then I read more about the story, and how the groom was with his family about two weeks before the wedding looking distressed. Then I read where he said to a family member that he didn’t want to marry his bride-to-be. His voice was heard and now his point is clear, how very, very sad.

Christians Cringe as New Libya Embraces Shariah Law

(AP Images/Kevin Lamarque, Pool)

I am sharing this article because I believe that this kind of news is important because Islam has sworn World Domination. After the fall of Gadhafi, there was some talk of Libya perhaps becoming a democracy, but according to this article religion/Islam will take over in the form of Shariah law. I was not expecting any different, especially when it was reported that the Muslim brotherhood played a part in the unrest in Egypt and Libya.

Americans should be very concerned, in light of worldwide unrest, the global activity of Islam, the allegiance of the American government, and worldwide deception; especially in this upcoming election year in the US. Our democracy as disingenuous as it may be has afforded us freedoms that oppressed people of the world have longed and died for, particularly our freedom to choose the God we pray to. There is without a shadow of a doubt, an evil force in the earth that wants to establish global bondage.

(Mission Network News) After months of fighting an oppressive dictator, Libyans rejoiced in Moammar Gadhafi’s death last week. The death, not just of the man but seemingly of the symbol of oppression, represented change and ultimately freedom.

But has freedom really come?

On Sunday, the nation’s interim leader Mustafa Abdel Jalil announced in a speech that the country would defer from now on to Islamic Shariah law. Several sources report Jalil exclaiming, “Any law that violates Shariah is null and void legally.”

An immediate change to the way Libya runs was the decision that “the law of divorce and marriage” would be altered, now allowing for polygamy with few guidelines.

Tom Doyle with E3Partners says this is the very tip of the iceberg. It’s a steep downward slope from here.

“I think young revolutionaries again have kind of been duped where they thought they were getting rid of this terrible dictator but did not look down the line on what the potential was for the next leadership,” explains Doyle. “What happened is they freed themselves from a dictator. [Gadhafi] was not a great guy, admittedly. But in the end, it’s going to be far worse for them with Shariah law being implemented and hardline Islam taking over.”

Some rebels have reported outrage at the announcement, but whether or not a decision made by a temporary government is legal hardly makes a difference, says Doyle.

“I don’t know if it’s legal, but when they establish Islamic law over national law, then in their minds (the radicals),” he explains, “they can do just about anything they think. So even though it’s not constitutional, it probably won’t matter in the end.”

Doyle believes plans to utterly Islamicize Libya have been under way for a long time. Under Gadhafi, Doyle points out, the solution to Libya’s problems was viewed as converting every Arab to Islam. Christians were under serious duress.

Under stricter Shariah law, though, it will get worse—and fast. Read the Full Story

People Who Live In Glass Houses…

Kim Kardashian’s 72 day-old marriage maybe a little shocking, but certainly not because America expected it to be a long lasting marriage. Khloe Kardashian gave it 6 months, and because celebrity marriages don’t usually last long, I didn’t hold out much hope for its longevity either.

Here’s why:

1. Kim was, and now is still the odd woman out. Her biological clock was/is ticking, and she had no man and no children, and her sisters had both. She was not going to be outdone, she felt pressure.

2. The world was still goo-goo, ga-ga over the recent nuptials of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the R O Y A L S.

3. Kim loves the euphoria of being in love. The actual nuts and bolts of maintaining a healthy, happy marriage didn’t seem to be an issue for Kim or Kris, because there were aspects of each others lives, that both of them were unaware of.

4. Kim loves her celebrity and all the attention that goes with it. She is professional about her career and brand because we haven’t really heard any bad press concerning any raunchy behavior, or diva attitude. So I think we can conclude that she runs a “tight ship,” and her marriage would probably have been no different, it would have been another division of her brand to manage.

5. We saw problems during the episodes of Keeping up with the Kardashians. The family was lukewarm towards Kris H., and Kris was not going to get in line behind Lamar or Scot and become Mr. Kim Kardashian. It was said in one of the episodes that Kris H. was not drinking the Kardashian koolaide. He also didn’t even pay for the newsworthy ring. I could understand a poorer man receiving some help with a ring for his woman, but Kris is wealthy. Why not let the ring be the one thing that he solely purchased to symbolize his deep love and commitment to Kim. Instead some group was involved in the process, that’s lame.

Nevertheless, I don’t think that the nuptials were staged. I think Kim’s heart was all in the “fairytale” aspect of this blind, uninformed, whirlwind romance. Along with that though, I think when Kris H. was locked out of the NBA, which came on the heels of tensions they were already having, and he started spending Kim’s money for partying while laid-off, that was enough to scare Kim off. Kris became “unmanageable.”

I could be wrong and I could be right with my assessments. Truth is this is Kim and Kris’ business, they are adults, and it doesn’t hurt my existence. Therefore, I don’t understand why someone felt strongly enough to start a petition. Ten million plus viewers watched their wedding. Keeping up with the Kardashians, has been on television for six years because of viewers. Just about everything up until now that the Kardashians have done in terms of promoting their brand has been received by the viewers who love and follow them.

Kim Kardashian is the icon that she is because of John Q public. She is as wealthy as she is because of John Q public. If members of the public have turned on Kim and the Kardashians, then simply turn your channel, or cancel your subscription to E. But to create a petition, at a time when there are more meatier matters facing the world we live in, is ridiculous. You know, Jesus said to a group of men who were ready to stone a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery, “He who is without sin cast the first stone.” I just want to make the same point, America, drop your stones, instead take your 80,000 strong voices of protest over to OCCUPY and fight for the future and freedoms of the people of the world.

Death By Chemical-Laden Food Consumption.

I posted this article, as I have a few others from Natural News, because I think the information is valuable, and I am angry about the fact that the USDA has purposely left human beings open and vulnerable to death by chemical-laden food consumption.

(NaturalNews) Ever wonder what’s really in the food sold at grocery stores around the world? People keep asking me, “What ingredients should I avoid?” So I put together a short list that covers all the most toxic and disease-promoting ingredients in the food supply. These are the substances causing cancer, diabetes, heart disease and leading to tens of billions of dollars in unnecessary health care costs across America (and around the world).

If you want to stay healthy and out of the hospital, read ingredients labels and make sure you avoid all these ingredients:

Acrylamides – Toxic, cancer-causing chemicals formed in foods when carbohydrates are exposed to high heat (baking, frying, grilling). They’re present in everything from bread crusts to snack chips, and because they aren’t intentional ingredients, acrylamides do NOT have to be listed on labels.

Aspartame – Chemical sweetener that causes neurological disorders, seizures, blurred vision and migraine headaches. (http://www.naturalnews.com/030918_a…)

Autolyzed Proteins – Highly processed form of protein containing free glutamate and used to mimic the taste-enhancer chemical MSG.

BPA (Bisphenol-A) – A hormone mimicking chemical found in nearly all food packaging plastics. Active in just parts per billion, BPA promotes cancer, infertility and hormone disorders. It also “feminizes” males, promoting male breast growth and hormone disruption (http://www.naturalnews.com/032860_B…).

Casein – Milk proteins. Hilariously, this is widely used in “soy cheese” products that claim to be alternatives to cow’s milk. Nearly all of them are made with cow’s milk proteins.

Corn Syrup – Just another name for High Fructose Corn Syrup (see below). Frequently used in infant formula products (http://www.naturalnews.com/029863_S…).

Food Colors – FD&C Red #40, for example, is linked to behavioral disorders in children. Nearly all artificial food colors are derived from petroleum, and many are contaminated with aluminum.

Genetically Modified Ingredients – Not currently listed on the label because the GMO industry (Monsanto and DuPont) absolutely does not want people to know which foods contain GMOs. Nearly all conventionally grown corn, soy and cotton are GMOs. They’re linked to severe infertility problems and may even cause the bacteria in your body to produce and release a pesticide in your own gut. If you’re not eating organic corn, you’re definitely eating GMO corn. (http://www.naturalnews.com/026426_G…) Learn more at www.ResponsibleTechnology.org or watch my GMO music video (hilarious) at www.NaturalNews.com/NoGMO

High Fructose Corn Syrup – A highly processed liquid sugar extracted with the chemical solvent glutaraldehyde and frequently contaminated with mercury (http://www.naturalnews.com/032948_h…). It’s also linked to diabetes, obesity and mood disorders. Used in thousands of grocery items, including things you wouldn’t suspect like pizza sauce and salad dressings.

Homogenized Milk – The fats in the milk are artificially modified to change them into smaller molecules that stay in suspension in the milk liquid (so the milk fat doesn’t separate) (http://www.naturalnews.com/022967_m…). While it makes milk look better on the shelf, it’s also blamed for promoting heart disease and may contribute to milk allergies. Raw milk is healthier, which is why the government had outlawed it (http://www.naturalnews.com/029322_r…).

Hydrochloride – When you see anything hydrochloride, such as Pyridoxine Hydrochloride or Thiamin Hydrochloride, those are chemical forms of B vitamins that companies add to their products to be able to claim higher RDA values of vitamins. But these are synthetic, chemical forms of vitamins, not real vitamins from foods or plants. Nutritionally, they are near-useless and may actually be bad for you. Also watch out for niacinamide and cyanocobalamin (synthetic vitamin B-12). (http://www.naturalnews.com/032766_c…)

Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein – A highly processed form of (usually) soy protein that’s processed to bring out the free glutamate (MSG). Use as a taste enhancer.

Partially Hydrogenated Oils – Oils that are modified using a chemical catalyst to make them stable at room temperature. This creates trans fatty acids and greatly increases the risk of blocked arteries (http://www.naturalnews.com/027445_f…). It also promotes what I call “sludge blood,” which is thick, viscous blood that’s hard to pump. This is usually diagnosed by doctors as “high blood pressure” and (stupidly) treated with blood-thinning medications that are technically the same chemicals as rat poison (warfarin) (http://www.naturalnews.com/023149_d…).

Phosphoric Acid – The acid used in sodas to dissolve the carbon dioxide and add to the overall fizzy-ness of the soda. Phosphoric acid will eat steel nails. It’s also used by stone masons to etch rocks. The military uses it to clean the rust off battleships. In absolutely destroys tooth enamel (http://www.naturalnews.com/021774.html). Search Google Images for “Mountain Dew Mouth” to see photos of teeth rotted out by phosphoric acid: http://www.google.com/search?q=moun…

Propylene Glycol – A liquid used in the automotive industry to winterize RVs. It’s also used to make the fake blueberries you see in blueberry muffins, bagels and breads. (Combined with artificial colors and corn syrup.) See shocking “Fake Blueberries” video at: http://www.naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=7…

Sodium (Salt) – The processed white salt lacking in trace minerals. In the holistic nutrition industry, we call it “death salt” because it promotes disease and death. Real salt, on the other hand, such as “dirty” sea salt or pink Himalayan salt, is loaded with the trace minerals that prevent disease, such as selenium (cancer), chromium (diabetes) and zinc (infectious disease). Much like with bread and sugar, white salt is terrible for your health. And don’t be fooled by claims of “sea salt” in grocery stores. All salt came from the sea if you go far back enough in geologic time, so they can slap the “sea salt” claim on ANY salt!

Sodium Nitrite – A cancer-causing red coloring chemical added to bacon, hot dogs, sausage, beef jerky, ham, lunch meats, pepperoni and nearly all processed meats. Strongly linked to brain tumors, pancreatic cancers and colon cancers (http://www.naturalnews.com/007024.html). The USDA once tried to ban it from the food supply but was out-maneuvered by the meat industry, which now dominates USDA regulations. Sodium nitrite is a complete poison used to make meats look fresh. Countless children die of cancer each year from sodium nitrite-induced cancers.

Soy Protein – The No. 1 protein source used in “protein bars,” including many bars widely consumed by bodybuilders. Soy protein is the “junk protein” of the food industry. It’s made from genetically modified soybeans (often grown in China) and then subjected to hexane, a chemical solvent (http://www.naturalnews.com/026303_s…) that can literally explode.

Sucralose – An artificial chemical sweetener sold as Splenda. The sucralose molecule contains a chlorine atom (http://www.naturalnews.com/027491_a…). Researchers have repeatedly found that artificial sweeteners make people fat by actually promoting weight gain (http://www.naturalnews.com/024543_h…).

Sugar – The bleached, nutritionally deficient byproduct of cane processing. During sugar cane processing, nearly all the minerals and vitamins end up in the blackstrap molasses that’s usually fed to farm animals. (Blackstrap molasses is actually the “good” part of sugar cane juice.) Molasses is often fed to farm animals because every rancher knows that farm animals need good nutrition to stay alive. Amazingly, conventional doctors don’t yet realize this about humans, and they continue to claim that eating sugar is perfectly fine for you. Sugar promotes diabetes, obesity, mood disorders and nutritional deficiencies.

Textured Vegetable Protein – Usually made of soy protein which is extracted from genetically modified soybeans and then processed using hexane, an explosive chemical solvent (see Soy Protein, above). Widely used in vegetarian foods such as “veggie burgers” (most of which also contain MSG or Yeast Extract, by the way).

Yeast Extract – Hidden form of MSG that contains free glutamate and is used in many “natural” food products to claim “No MSG!” Yeast extract contains up to 14% free glutamate. You’ll find it in thousands of grocery store products, from soups to snack chips. I even once spotted it used on fresh meat!

Food label tricks

Here’s a trick food companies frequently used to pack more sugar into their products without making sugar look like the first ingredient:

Ingredient labels, you see, must list the most prominent ingredients first, and some consumers might freak out of they saw a box of cereal that said, “Sugar, whole grain wheat, corn” and so on. Instead, the company uses 3 or 4 different forms of sugar to distribute them farther down the label, like this:

“Whole grain wheat, sugar, corn syrup, corn syrup solids…”

This way, the first ingredients looks like “whole grain wheat” when, in reality, the cereal might be over fifty percent sugars!

How to buy honest food

• Shop at your local farmer’s market, food co-op or CSA.

• In the USA, look for the USDA Organic label on foods. This is a legitimate claim to being certified organic. It’s one of the few programs run by the USDA that actually has integrity.

• Read the ingredients labels! If you see names of chemicals you can’t pronounce, don’t buy it.

• Buy more unprocessed food ingredients and make your own meals rather than buying ready-to-eat, processed foods, which are almost universally formulated with disease-promoting ingredients.

• GROW some of your own food! The best food you can ever eat is food from your own garden.

What We Can Learn From The Duggars…

The Duggars are not an enigma, and not because of people like Octomom, the Gosselins, the Brady Bunch, or all the large families that have been followed by t.v cameras in the last ten years. But because people were having large families just a few years ago for economic, personal choice, and religious reasons. However, with industrialism, feminism and the advent of the birth control pill, the need and desire for large families has diminished. So I believe that people are amazed by the Duggars because they are willingly choosing to have 20 children and appear to be living well.

They certainly present a picture of large family life that is very different from Octomom and the Gosselins, and I believe that’s because of their faith. Their belief in the Lord and the Word of God is central to this family. We are only looking in via cameras, but they appear to be well adjusted and self-sufficient. They’ve built their own home, they’re pantry looks like a grocery store, the children have each other to socialize with, the children are home schooled, and Michelle and Jim Bob manage the children together and are still intimate. The Duggars are not alone, there are the Jeub family with 16 children, the Arndt family with 14, the Heppner family with 17, and the Bates family with 18 and counting, all of whom are devoutly Christian. If the lifestyle works for these families and they are self-supporting, then what does outside opinion matter? We watched as the Gosselin’s relationship deteriorated and we complained. Now we have the Duggars who are thriving and we are complaining about their decision to have child number twenty.

Here is what we can learn:

1. The Duggars are living by their faith convictions, and that’s fine.
2. A Christ-centered family can be successful.
3. Large families can be successful.
4. Abstinence can be successful and appreciated by young people
5. Husbands and wives can be team players and long time in-lovers.
6. A couple must count up the cost before uniting, and then remain committed because the human family is the foundation of society; and when it works it’s wonderful and fulfilling.
7. Children want parents that are involved and they are happy when they are.
8. It’s good to keep much of the world’s influence out of your family life.
9. Less stuff can be more.
10. A Christ-centered life is not crazy.

The CDC Has Been Caught Altering Data to Hide the Link Between Vaccines and Autism: Natural News

AUTISM:

(NaturalNews) Deniers of the link between mercury-laden vaccines and autism are going to have a hard time denying the latest findings by the Coalition for Mercury-Free Drugs (CoMeD). The nonprofit group has obtained critical documents via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that exposes the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) role in deliberately lying about and manipulating a key Danish study that showed a clear link between vaccines containing mercury and autism.

In 2003, the journal Pediatrics published a study conducted in Denmark that observed a significant decline in autism rates following the country’s elimination of Thimerosal, a mercury-based component, from vaccines. But thanks to the CDC’s corrupting influence, the published version of the study in Pediatrics actually claimed the opposite, and alleged that removal of Thimerosal brought about an increase in autism rates.

According to the documents, CDC officials removed large amounts of data from the study that showed a decline in autism rates following the removal of Thimerosal. The agency then twisted the remaining data to imply an increase in autism rates following the removal of Thimerosal, and suggested that there was no link between Thimerosal and autism.

Upon submission of the CDC’s tainted version of the study to Pediatrics, the study’s authors contacted CDC officials to let them know that the agency had incorrectly interpreted the data. They tried to tell the CDC that its figures and conclusions were wrong, and that corrections needed to be made.

The CDC allegedly responded by saying that it would take a look at the incorrect data, but proceeded to submit the corrupted version of the study to Pediatrics anyway. After encouraging the editors of Pediatrics to perform an expedited review of the corrupted study, the CDC ended up convincing the journal to publish the fraudulent study, which it did in 2003.

Now that this critical information has been officially released for the world to see, CoMeD is pressing the CDC to conduct a full criminal investigation into the matter, and make a formal declaration about whether or not scientific fraud was involved. CoMeD is also calling for a full, immediate retraction of the corrupted study from Pediatrics.

“This should not be tolerated by those who are entrusted with our children’s health and well-being,” says Lisa Sykes, President of CoMeD.
