As the FDA prepares to conduct consumer research into whole grain labeling statements before it issues finalized guidance for industry, the debate over precisely what should constitute a âwhole grainâ, as well as how the amount of whole grain should be disclosed, continues to rage.f the definition were to be limited to cereals and pseudo-cereals, then at minimum, it should include pulses (beans, chickpeas, lentils, peas) which include significant starch fractions. â The guiding principle behind developing whole-grain definitions should be based on nutritional, not taxonomic, considerations .â.
Merck Serono, a division of Merck KGaA of Germany, a global pharmaceutical and chemical company, and Neopharma earlier yesterday announced a pharmaceutical production agreement under which Neopharma will initially manufacture two Merck Serono products -- Euthyrox, a hormone therapy requiring a very stringent sterile environment for production and packaging, and Glucophage a standard oral treatment for people suffering from type 2 diabetes that helps control blood sugar levels.
In the dialogue of the Euthyphro, in fact, a reader gets a first-hand view of Socrates 'corrupting' the youth of Athens as he tries to lead the young man to the realization that what God wants is not as easily grasped as conventional wisdom would have it.
