When will the FDA look out for the little guy?
The more articles I read about how the FDA had shut down another 
company for some stupid reason or another no legitimate reason the more afraid I become as I get older wondering what I’ll be allowed to take as a cure or will be forced upon me. The FDA’s (Food and Drug Administration) purpose is to regulate the medications and food products in the United States. By testing and regulating these consumable goods, the FDA controls which products enter the marketplace and which pharmaceuticals doctors can prescribe for patients.
When I read articles about how they’ve shut down a company for calling their soda “Cocaine Soda” (tasteless shock marketing, but hardly a crime) it just makes you wonder how anyone can get anything to market these days. Tasteless advertising as long as it clearly states it is really just a soda hardly seems like a place for the FDA to delve into. Protect us from potential harm, not shock advertizing.
While the FDA manages to find time to regulate the names on a soda can and to keep low priced prescription medications from abroad from reaching U.S. citizens it has no problem protecting the profits of the U.S. based pharmaceutical companies instead of the health of the consumer.

There are some significant health benefits when it comes to breastfeeding babies. For one there are more nutrients in breast milk that any other source and most breast fed babies have an easier time feeding than when trying to utilize the usual alternatives such as baby bottles. Another plus is that babies who are breast fed are less likely to become sick, according to doctors. 
use a pair of tweezers or pinch the skin so that you can remove it with your fingers, but alas all that pain resulted in the splinter not moving or going deeper into the skin.
We all like to save money don't we?! When you go shopping you compare prices, you cut coupons, you compare prices online for products all the time. What many don't realize is that many large companies like Walmart or Costco and such places can give us all great deals over the mom and pop stores because of large numbers of customers.
