Dr. Oz vs. FDA Over Arsenic In Apple Juice

Dr. Oz, heart surgeon and talk show host, went on his tv show recently and warned consumers about the arsenic levels in the Apple Juice we drink and give to our kids. He had several off the counter brands of apple juice sent to a lab in New Jersey and tested for their arsenic content. The report he got back indicated that the apple juice had a much higher than safe amount of arsenic in the juice. The makers of the juices and the FDA weren’t too happy about this and called foul. The FDA fired off letters to the...

Do You Feel Safer In The 10 Years Since 9/11?

An interactive poll using Google Maps technology asks the question “Do you feel safer in the 10 years since 9/11?” The responses are shown on the map with the answer and the location of the person who responded. Of the total votes taken so far, most say they do not feel safer. Even more interesting is that for each vote a discussion thread is created along people to clarify their answers and others to ‘debate’ them. What about you? Does the active war on terror, heightened security measures, TSA rules, death of Osama Bin Laden or any of the policies...
