According to CDC, the salmonella outbreak, which causes 1440 illnesses, has apparently come to an end in the country. The ultimate source of the disease may never be known because of somewhat defective food safety system in the country.

The Food and Drug Administration and The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told that they had found strong evidence that jalapeno and Serrano peppers that produced in some farms in the Mexico were the real culprits in the largest outbreak of foodborne disease during a decade. Investigators couldn’t clear imported and domestic tomatoes and there were weaker evidence against the tomatoes.

CHICAGO – Study findings in the Journal of American Medical Association have shed new light on the link between arsenic and Type 2 diabetes.  The study is the first to link low-level arsenic exposure, possibly from drinking water, with Type 2 diabetes.

The study was based on medical tests of 788 adults’ and revealed a fourfold increase in risk of diabetes in people with low levels of arsenic.  As seafood is a source for high concentration of organic arsenic, researchers adjusted findings of seafood arsenic and still found that those who had Type 2 diabetes had 26% higher arsenic levels than those who did not have the disease.
