Avatar f tn gt1=43001 Government reports released this month said the damage and leakage at the plant were worse than previously thought, with some of the nuclear fuel in three reactors likely having melted through the main cores and inner containment vessels.

Avatar f tn com) -- The quality and safety violations that led to the shutdown of a Tylenol plant were extremely serious, and could lead to tough action by regulators on drugmaker Johnson & Johnson.

Avatar f tn The Sensata workers were shocked to hear yesterday that Sensata management asked the Freeport Police to relay a message to employees that they would close the factory earlier than planned if employees continued to protest at the plant. The plant is scheduled to be shut down in December, with the jobs and equipment shipped to a new plant in China. “Not only are they shipping our jobs to China, they are also trying to take away our rights as American workers,” said Joanne Penniston.

Saccharin was the first type of artificial sweetener developed all the way back in 1878. Can anyone confirm/has anyone heard that it is in the same category, safety-wise, as stevia??

Avatar f tn Once upon a time I lived across the Arkansas River from a nuclear power plant at Dardanelle, AR (our adversaries know where they're at). The locals, as far as I could tell, had no say in anything to do with the plant. Some lifelong residents were employed there but, only in lower paying, non professional positions. The river valley is surrounded by the Ozark & Ouachita mts making the geography beautiful. But, it is unstable with underground springs, fault lines, etc.
Avatar m tn pasta), low fat and substitute dairy products (1% milk, low fat/fat free yogurts, low fat soy milk/soy yogurt), use plant oils, non trans-fat margarines, and eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. Eat daily high fiber breads and cereals (oatmeal). Have you tried weight training? That will help you gain lean muscle mass which does weight more and bulk you up. You can also try yoga exercising which is strengthening your body gently from inside out.
Avatar f tn 1056/NEJMp0904768 Before 1994, herbal products were considered food additives, and their manufacturers were required to show proof of safety before marketing them. Since the passage of the DSHEA, dietary supplements are presumed to be safe and can be marketed with very little oversight. The DSHEA presents serious obstacles to the FDA’s ability to detect and eliminate contaminated supplements.

"Diamond Pet Foods temporarily suspended delivery on April 8, of all products made at its Gaston, S.C., plant."

681148 tn?1437661591 In case you missed it, the FDA cited a food processing plant in Yakima, Washington called Snokist for moldy applesauce. This company is a food supplier for the government school lunch programs. An article I just read had even more deplorable description of the facility than what was reported in the nightly news. Absolutely disgusting the descriptions I read about the condition the facility has been in while it is processing this stuff as food that goes across the entire country.

At first I was thrilled---------- how cool to grow my own pumpkins! It must be the absolute perfect spot as that plant is growing BIG and there are lots of flowers and pumpkins starting on it. Here is my question . . . well, it is taking over.

Avatar f tn A huge toxic spill in Alberta, Canada, is raising more questions about the safety of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, as well as the safety of Canada’s own pipeline network. The company responsible for the spill, Apache Corp., a Texas-based company, kept its size quiet for 12 days after the spill was first discovered. The Dene Tha First Nation tribe, which is dependent on much of the land that’s been destroyed in the spill, is understandably livid about the entire situation.
Avatar f tn A news release from the utility stated that similar readings were expected at the Harris plant near New Hill, N.C., and the Brunswick plant near Southport, N.C. in the coming days. Elliot said iodine travels through the air very easily, which is why it can be detected across the world from Japan, but he reiterated that levels were too low to "affect public health or safety.
1747881 tn?1546175878 Holding back development was not the depressed gas price—that’s what attracts manufacturers—but the lack of infrastructure, specifically pipelines, to get the gas to prospective plant sites. Blame Mr. Obama and his Keystone theatrics. A Brazilian company, Braskem, just opted to build a $500 million plastics plant in Texas, not Philadelphia—home to 85% Obama voters—for one reason only: lack of pipeline infrastructure. Mr.

Avatar f tn Valium is no safer than any other benzo. They all work pretty much the same, they are all addictive if taken regularly, and are all very hard to stop taking if you take them regularly. The fact is that all drugs make the body work in a way nature did not intend it to work. In many cases, that's a good thing, and in many cases it's not. It depends on the severity of what ails you and what alternatives are available. I think it's a good thing to do your homework on medication.
Avatar m tn The problem is that unless you grew it yourself (doesnt sound like it), who knows what pesticides the plant may have been exposed to, or what heavy metals it might have picked up from the soil where it was grown.
