Mumbai Police arrested Remdesivir supplier whom BJP approached for stock: Fadnavis

BJP leader and Leader of Opposition in Maharashtra Assembly, Devendra Fadnavis, has alleged that Mumbai Police on April 17 arrested a remdesivir supplier whom BJP had approached to supply the anti-viral drug to the state amid the surge in COVID cases.

Fadnavis said, "Four days ago we had requested Bruck Pharma to supply us (Remdesivir) but they couldn't until permission was given.

I spoke with Union Min Mansukh Mandviya and we got FDA's permission, but at about 9 pm, police arrested him (supplier)." LoP visited the police station where the supplier was held.

"DCP told us that they received inputs that some exporters had 60,000 vials and wanted to verify the same.

We showed them permission letter.

He (DCP) said it wasn't communicated to them.

Whatever happened was wrong," said Devendra Fadnavis.

'Time' recently spoke with experts regarding over-the-counter sleep aids and whether they can really help someone with insomnia. Melatonin has become a popular supplement in recent years for being a safe and effective sleep aid. According to a 2023 study by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), nearly two-thirds of people in the United States have tried using melatonin to help them sleep. . It’s not something that is generally harmful or toxic, which is probably why people are tempted to take more when a little bit doesn’t work, Dr. Milena Pavlova, neurologist at Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital and an associate professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School, via 'Time'. 'Time' points out that supplements, such as melatonin, are not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Similar to melatonin, over-the-counter antihistamines like Benadryl have become a popular sleep-aid due to containing doxylamine, which causes drowsiness. However, doxylamine also comes with a number of side effects, including a potential hangover the next day. The big problem with antihistamines is they can make people extremely groggy and really impair cognitive function the next day, Dr. Indira Gurubhagavatula, professor of medicine in the division of sleep medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, via 'Time'. While antihistamines can induce drowsiness, they don't normally result in quality, restorative sleep. Experts suggest eliminating things that prevent healthy sleep, like alcohol and caffeine, while also incorporating physical activity into your daily routine.

FDA Warns These Cinnamon Brands Could Contain Lead

FDA Warns These , Cinnamon Brands , Could Contain Lead. NPR reports that the Food and Drug Administration has issued an advisory that several brands of cinnamon could potentially contain lead. The six brands impacted by the advisory are: , La Fiesta, Marcum, MK, Swad, Supreme Tradition and El Chilar. . These brands are commonly on sale at discount stores and were found to contain between 2.03 and 3.4 parts per million of lead. The FDA said that while no illnesses have been linked to the products, it has recommended a voluntary recall of the cinnamon brands. It is important to note that the lead levels found in the ground cinnamon products listed above are significantly lower than lead levels in cinnamon in the recalled apple sauce pouches removed from the market this past fall, FDA statement, via NPR. The FDA added that the impacted products , "could be unsafe for prolonged use.". NPR reports that long-term lead exposure in children can lead to slower development, brain and nervous system damage, as well as behavioral and learning problems.

The FDA said that "historically, lead chromate has been illegally added to certain spices" to increase their weight and enhance their color, "which increases the monetary value of the adulterated spices." . FDA's leading hypothesis remains that this was likely an act of economically motivated adulteration, FDA statement, via NPR

The decision comes following a 2018 petition from Danone North America, which owns major yogurt brands Dannon, Activia, Wallaby Organic and Silk. . The petition sought to have the FDA allow the company to market yogurt's ability to reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes without objection. On March 1, the FDA confirmed that it would not oppose the marketing campaign, while including some caveats. . Those caveats include that the marketing must note that evidence is limited to eating two cups, equal to three servings, of yogurt per week. . NBC reports that Danone's petition is part of a standard process which the FDA calls "qualified health claims.". While these claims do not require the FDA's approval, companies often petition the agency to define the specific language necessary to avoid making false claims. The petition reportedly cited yogurt's nutrient profile of proteins, vitamins and low sodium. The petition also cited studies which have supported the link between regularly consuming yogurt and reduced risk of diabetes and related conditions. The petition also noted that the evidence supports the health effects of yogurt as a food rather than related to any single nutrient or compound and thus is independent of fat or sugar content. , FDA announcement, via NBC
