Aug 04, 2006 An Indian state has banned the sale of soft drinks as the country's highest court told the US beverage giants Pepsico and Coca-Cola to reveal the ingredients of their products.
"The ban will be in force in all educational institutes, including medical and technical colleges and universities and offenders would be punished," a spokesman from the administration of northern Rajasthan state announced Friday. He argued that soft drinks producers were required to print statutory warnings on their products. |

4 August 06 Patients having radiation treatments should be warned they may falsely trigger security alarms, say experts.
Their advice follows the case of a patient who set off a US airport security alarm at check-in six weeks after receiving radioiodine therapy. He was interrogated, strip-searched and finally released, after a long delay and much embarrassment, the British Medical Journal reports. Each year 10,000 UK people are treated with radioiodine for thyroid problems. |
