The Major Foodborne Illness Outbreaks of 2011, Jan 02, 2012

"Editor's Note
Foodborne diseases in the United States account for an estimated 48 million illnesses, 128,000 hospitalizations, and 3000 deaths annually.[1,2]
In an effort to ensure the safety of the US food supply, President Obama signed the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) on January 4, 2011. The Act aims to shift the focus of federal regulation from response to prevention of food contamination. The FSMA addresses the foods that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provides oversight of, and is groundbreaking because it is the first major legislation associated with the FDA's food-safety arm since 1938.[3]"

40-Year War on Cancer: Can We Win? Jan 02, 2012

"The signing of the National Cancer Act by President Richard M. Nixon on December 23, 1971, was considered a declaration of War on Cancer (although researchers had never slowed in their efforts to combat this multiheaded disease). The law earmarked $1.5 million for cancer research over a 3-year period and broadened the scope and responsibilities of the National Cancer Institute. Equally important, the law designated the fight against cancer a national priority."
