		<description><![CDATA[Currently, only two anti-virals are known to be effective against H1N1 pandemic swine flu: Tamiflu (oseltamivir) and Relenza (zanamivir).

		<description><![CDATA[We personally have little faith in a rapidly devised vaccine for which the manufacturers aren’t willing to take full responsibility.

		<description><![CDATA[In what came as a surprise move, the House passed a sweeping food safety reform bill a day after defeating a previous version. House Democrats kept revising the bill until they got it right. The previous version would have placed onerous burdens on small farmers and small food producers. The version that passed the House [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Tuesday announced its decision that mercury amalgam fillings&#8212;the so-called &#8220;silver&#8221; fillings most Americans have in their teeth&#8212;contain insufficient mercury to warrant concern. &#8220;While elemental mercury has been associated with adverse health effects at high exposures, the levels released by dental amalgam fillings are not high enough to cause [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A special advisory panel to the Food and Drug Administration recommended Tuesday that Vicodin and Percocet&#8212;two prescription pain-killers that combine acetominophen with narcotics&#8212;should be banned. The panel noted that prolonged use of aceominophen, which is the primary ingredient in Tylenol, causes liver damage in many patients and further recommended that at least seven other medications [...]]]></description>
