...agency responded Tuesday to applications from two tomato-product groups, including H.J. Heinz Co., which planned to tout the anticancer benefits of tomatoes on their product labels. After a review of dozens of studies, however, the FDA found that there was "very limited evidence" to support any association between tomato consumption and reduced risks of prostate, gastric and pancreatic cancers. As for the believed cancer-fighting effects of lycopene, the key anti-cancer fighting ingredient in tomatoes, the FDA was even more discouraging, saying there was "no credible evidence" to suggest that the chemical could reduce the risk of such...
...Duped, Drop by Drop I cannot believe that time would use an entire page to review bottled water [June 18]. Most people can't even distinguish between tap water and bottled water. I heard of a test in which different water bottles were filled with tap water from the same tap. Surprisingly, most participants thought they were drinking genuine bottled water and claimed that the (same) water from different bottles tasted different.

...FIRST-EVER on-air review--of Magic, starring Anthony Hopkins as a creepy ventriloquist--Emmy- winning Joel Siegel, the longtime movie critic and entertainment editor for ABC's Good Morning America, argued with a surly puppet.

The government announced a review of existing laws, while justice officials have been put to work on an organized anti-gang strategy. The New Zealand Police Union has called for a Royal Commission to inquire into the gangs, and recommended a national, rather than divisional, strategy to control them. Police Minister Annette King, however, believes the incident was an anomaly-a death at a time when gangs are becoming less violent. "The killing of innocent people by gangs is very rare...
...hoping to make Schmidt's legislation unnecessary, however. In June, the Bureau launched its own review of data collection methods regarding tarmac delays. According to Smallen, BTS didn't realize its data was inaccurate until after it "was brought to our attention following JetBlue," he says, referring to the JetBlue tarmac delays at JFK in February. After the BTS completes the review, it may change how the data of tarmac delays is recorded. In a curious turn, the Air Transport Association - which originally used the BTS data to defend the airline industry's handling of tarmac delays - now supports...
