PCB's in Fish Oil supplements -- lawsuit filed
An environmental group filed a lawsuit in San Francisco
on Tuesday
alleging that 10 types of fish oil or shark oil supplements contain
a
toxic industrial compound, and that manufacturers and
sellers need to
warn consumers.
The plaintiffs in the lawsuit tested 10 products, all of which had some amount of PCB, they
say.
The lawsuit names CVS/Pharmacy, General Nutrition Corp. (GNC stores),
Now Health Group, Omega Protein, Rite Aid, Solgar,
Twinlab and
Pharmavite, which produces Nature Made supplements,
as defendants.
All of the fish oils carried at Tara Natural Medicine
are rigorously tested for contaminants, including PCB's and heavy metals.
If you have any questions about the quality of your
fish oil, or are changing to an oil that we recommend,
please contact us!

Study Links Reduced Fertility to Flame Retardant Exposure
The first study linking flame retardant exposure to
impaired fertility was released earlier this month
by UC Berkeley researchers.
The chemical causing the reduced fertility, pentaBDE,
was primarily used in furniture and baby product foam
to meet the California furniture flammability standard
TB117.
Although this flame retardant has been banned by the
Stockholm convention and is not currently made, most
of the pentaBDE that was ever produced is still in
furniture, baby products, and carpet cushion in homes
in California and other states.

Does the Vaccine Matter?
from The Atlantic magazine, November 2009
Some flu experts are
challenging the medical orthodoxy and arguing that
for those most in
need of protection, flu shots and antiviral drugs may
provide little to
none. So where does that leave us if a bad pandemic
strikes? Sep 15, 2009
