FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Here are some of the latest health and medical news developments,
compiled by the editors of HealthDay:
Fake Malaria Drugs a Major
Concern
Efforts to fight malaria are being seriously undermined by fake or bad
quality drugs, according to a study.
It found that more than one-third of malaria-fighting drugs tested over
the past decade in Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa were either fake
or bad quality, the Associated Press reported.
Patients who take fake drugs with no malaria-fighting agents can die,
while drugs without enough active ingredients to kill all malaria
parasites can lead to drug resistance.
The U.S.-funded study said that urgent international efforts are needed
to fight counterfeit malaria drugs, many of which are believed to come
from China, the AP reported.

Pomegranate Juice Health Claims Deceptive: FTC
Judge
A company‘s ads claiming that pomegranate juice can treat cancer, heart
disease or erectile dysfunction are deceptive, U.S. regulators said
Monday.
POM Wonderful LLC violated federal law by making those deceptive claims
and must stop making claims of health effects in the absence of “competent
and reliable scientific evidence,” ruled the U.S. Federal Trade
Commission’s chief administrative law judge D. Michael Chappell, Agence
France-Presse reported.
While the judge said there was ‘inadequate” evidence to support the
company’s claims of pomegranate juice as a superfood, he said the company
would not have to submit to pre-approved marketing.
The company said the FTC lawsuit “tried to create a new, stricter
industry standard, similar to that required for pharmaceuticals, for
marketing the health benefits inherent in safe food and natural food-based
products,” AFP reported.
However, the company said the judge upheld its “right to share
valuable, scientifically validated information about the health benefits
of its safe food with consumers.”

Bee Gee Robin Gibb Dies of
Cancer
Former Bee Gees member Robin Gibb died Sunday “following his long
battle with cancer and intestinal surgery,” his family said in a statement
released by Gibb’s representative Doug Wright.
Gibb was forced to cancel several appearances in 2011. He was
hospitalized briefly in 2011 for what doctors said was an inflamed colon
and had surgery for intestinal problems in March, the Associated
Press reported.
Brothers Robin, Maurice and Barry Gibb shot to fame in the 1970s when
they wrote and performed a number of hit songs for the movie “Saturday
Night Fever.” Maurice died in 2003.
Robin Gibb was the second disco-era star to die this week. On Thursday,
Donna Summer died of cancer in Florida, the AP reported.
