Cerebral Palsy Linked to Pre-Term Labor Preventative

Indomethacin, a drug used to stop pre-term labor, could actually cause brain damage to unborn babies, including cerebral palsy because it affects blood flow to the fetus.

Indomethacin is intended only to be used when birth is extremely premature and poses a risk to the unborn child and/or mother, but many doctors have used Indomethacin at later stages of pregnancy when a premature birth would not pose much of a risk.

E. Coli Tainted Meat Spurs Another Massive Recall

At least 21 people across the United Stated have contracted the same E.Coli strain found in Jeno’s and Totino’s frozen pizzas distributed by General Mills. Since July, approximately 120 million pizzas were shipped possibly having the E.Coli virus.

This is the third tainted food recall in just over a month. In late September, Topps Meat Company ground beef left 40 people sick from E. coli, leading to the recall of more than 21 million pounds of ground beef. Meanwhile ConAgra pot pies, recalled in early October, have been blamed for more than 270 cases of Salmonella poisoning around the country.
