And I was going to have a burger for dinner… 21 September 2009, 11:45 am
No wonder sometimes it’s hard to stop eating even when you know you’re full. A U.S. study by UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas has found that fat from certain foods such ice-cream and burgers heads to the brain. Once there, the fat molecules trigger the brain to send messages to the body’s cells, warning them [...] Read more >>

Ingredient Suppliers' Distress Bad for All 8 Sep 2009, 1:42 pm
There have been several times while in this industry when I really wished I didn't know what I know. In at least a dual role (editor and CEO), I find myself privy to information that should not be publicly disclosed, but is important enough for the future and integrity of the industry, that morally, it needs to be at least shared - in principle. Even if only to let others know what to watch for, the signs and signals of self-destructive behavior, in some cases, especially if we really do care about building a better industry, we have to at least tell part of the story.

FDA Warns Consumers About Products Marketed as Containing Steroids or steroid-Like Substances...About time? 29 Jul 2009, 4:01 pm
FDA has announced a warning to consumers not to consume products marketed as supplements, said to contain steroid-like components. It's time, they would say, because most, if not all of these products contain the latest greatest designer compounds engineered specifically for performance enhancement and to 'mimic' the actions of steroids. If it acts like one, looks like on, smells like one...well, you get the point. And FDA has identified what the 'good' side of this industry has known for a long time - these are not supplements in any way shape or form. More... Read more >>
Debunking the Debunking...or 'Everyone Has an Agenda' 5 Jul 2009, 10:08 pm
Several months ago I had quite a good conversation (or so I thought) with an editor from Consumers Digest, mostly background stuff, including how the industry was regulated, how the good guys operated, how I understood how confusing it could be for consumers, and how certification and trade association membership could be distinguishing. Imagine my surprise at the article which appeared on shelves this past week entitled, "Mass Confusion: The Truth About Dietary supplements" More... Read more >>
Not All Stevia Products Are Created Equal 26 May 2009, 11:56 am
So the hot ingredient for 2009 is stevia. Or is it Reb A? Or is it Reb A 98%? Or is it Rebiana? And for just which of the stevia-based sweeteners has FDA determined that it has no objections to on the basis of a dossier that it has reviewed? It's all so confusing. More... Read more >>
