A lot has already been discussed regarding the Centre for Substance Use and Addiction’s (CCSA) report that recommends drastic changes to health guidelines for alcohol.1 Experts from the International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research (ISFAR) called it “a pseudo-scientific amalgamation of selected studies of low scientific validity that fit their preconceived notions,” and more recently 16 prominent Quebec-based […]
Cette opposition ne nuira qu’aux consommateurs, alors que certains coûts contrôlés par les Etats pourraient tout aussi bien être réduits. En mai dernier, le commissaire européen pour le Marché intérieur, Thierry Breton, a proposé de faire contribuer les plateformes au développement de l’infrastructure numérique, comme les réseaux 5G, ce qui a suscité des réactions mitigées.

The European Union commissioner for the European Green Deal has left, a farmers’ party has taken control of the Dutch senate, French president Emmanuel Macron says regulatory changes shouldn’t be rushed, and the EU’s largest political group is openly opposing reform plans that had been years in the making.

La classification de certaines substances comme plus ou moins dangereuses montre de graves lacunes dans la communication aux consommateurs des réalités scientifiques. Le Centre international de recherche sur le cancer (CIRC), un organisme associé à l’Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS), a récemment annoncé qu’il classerait l’édulcorant artificiel aspartame comme « possiblement cancérogène ». L’agence n’a pas […]
The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified aspartame as “possibly carcinogenic.” This has sparked a debate over artificial sweeteners’ use, importance and safety. Consumers need to know that this classification comes with a set of addendums. The agency is not a food-safety agency, meaning it merely looks at agents in themselves, not the amount regular […]
