By Toni Clarke WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Senate voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to confirm Dr. Robert Califf as head of the Food and Drug Administration, an agency that regulates everything from food and drugs to tobacco, cosmetics and dietary supplements. Califf, 64, a well-regarded cardiologist and researcher, takes the helm at the FDA when lawmakers are pressuring it to speed the approval process for drugs and medical devices and to finalize a proposed rule giving it authority to regulate e-cigarettes. Another priority for Califf is improving surveillance systems to monitor for safety.
By Lisa Baertlein LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Hamburger chain In-N-Out Burger is the newest target in a push by public health, environmental and consumer groups to convince high-profile food sellers to stop serving meat from animals fed a routine diet of antibiotics. The new campaign from CALPIRG Education Fund, Friends of the Earth, the Center for Food Safety and other public interest groups was launched amid growing concern that the overuse of such drugs is contributing to increasing numbers of life-threatening human infections from antibiotic-resistant bacteria, known as “superbugs.” Privately held In-N-Out, which has more than 300 restaurants in California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Texas and Oregon, is known for using fresh ingredients such as never-frozen ground beef and hand-cut french fries.

Most guidelines recommend losing 5 to 10 percent of body weight, the authors write. “Five percent is really a very reasonable goal for most obese patients to achieve, it’s much easier than 10 percent,” said senior author Dr. Samuel Klein of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri.
By Andrew M. Seaman (Reuters Health) – Preschoolers are more likely to be fussy eaters if a parent had anxiety or depression during pregnancy or early in the child’s life, suggests a new study from the Netherlands. “Fussy eating can really be a problem for the families,” said lead author Lisanne de Barse, of Erasmus MC-University Medical Center in Rotterdam. There is also some evidence that when a child continues to be a fussy eater there can continue to be additional health problems.” Previously, fussy eating has been tied to constipation, weight problems and behavioral problems, the researchers write in the Archives of Disease in Childhood.
By Sharon Bernstein SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Reuters) – Fashion models who want to work in California would need a doctor to attest that they are of healthy weight and not suffering from an eating disorder under a proposal announced by a state lawmaker on Monday. The bill proposed by California state Assembly member Marc Levine follows efforts in several countries to fight anorexia nervosa and other eating disorders among models, who are relentlessly pressured to lose weight or lose work. “The evidence of eating disorders in the modeling industry is alarming,” Levine, a Democrat who represents the Marin County suburbs of San Francisco, said in a statement on Monday.
