So while we brew the mandatory cup of stimulation in the official Pharmalot cafeteria, please join us as we peruse the news of the world. Have a great day, everyone, and stay in touch...

My morning coffee was not the same without this site. Good to have you back. Next time try not to kick the plug out from the wall.

Re: FDA to push for more investment in science:
"aims to invest in a wide range of efforts, from developing methods to assess new products..."
"All of them are aimed at keeping up with rapidly changing science and technology."
"We need new approaches, new collaborations and new ways to take advantage of 21st century technologies," (CRADAs)
"creative approaches to product development and safety for both food and medical products." ________________
Seems I've heard this all somewhere before. ________________
Pardon the simplistic analogy, R&D peoples.
A list of ingredients doesn't begin to tell the whole story without considering how they are manipulated.
Take flour, leavening, and liquid. They are used in almost every baking recipe. * Bread is kneaded and worked, risen at a certain tempurature, punched down to remove the air, molded, risen again, etc... * Biscuits, if over moistened or over manipulated, will be tough instead of flaky. * For cake, the dry ingredients must be fully moistened and mixed well. Cake flour is best because it is finer (a smaller particle).
The science is in the production method. If you change the method you can count on a different result.
