Birth-Control Recall: Pfizer has recalled about a million packs of birth-control pills on concerns that incorrect packaging could lead to unplanned pregnancies, but says it believes only 30 packs actually had the troublesome glitches, the WSJ reports . Pfizer has identified three production problems that could permit pills to be placed incorrectly in the packs and go undetected. It’s not clear how many pills have already been used and how many are still in medicine cabinets, the paper says. Regulating Sugar?: A commentary published in Nature calls for sugar added to foods to be regulated, using the taxes and limited availability of tobacco and alcohol as a model, WebMD reports . Commentary author Robert Lustig, of the University of California, San Francisco, says excess sugar is linked to health problems, while the Sugar Association disputes that sugar intake causes disease. The FDA says it is not reconsidering sugar’s current regulatory status as a “generally recognized as safe” product, WebMD reports. Device Pact: Medical-device firms will pay the FDA $595 million over five years under the tentative terms of a new user-fee agreement, the WSJ reports . The FDA will add more full-time employees to consider medical-device applications and will have concrete goals for approval times, the paper says. Surgery Risk Suggested: Research published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings suggests that children who undergo two or more surgeries by the age of two are more likely to develop ADHD in the future compared to children who experience one operation, possibly because of the effects of general anesthesia on the developing brain, Time’s Healthland blog reports . The study cannot prove that anesthesia causes the future problems, however, and a study author says that the benefits of surgery for infants usually outweigh any potential risk, Time says.

Being a beginner cyclist didn’t stop FitSugar reader bjeanne18 from participating in a 15k bike race! She shares what it was like to shop for a bike and prep for her big race day in our FitSugar Community . The 15K bike race was part of the Corporate Challenge. I signed up for the bike race and a 5K run and they are the first races I’ve ever competed in as long as you aren’t counting elementary school where I was downright legit at the water balloon relay. Word. I probably got into biking around January when the BF and I decided to look into getting bikes. We went to our local Richardson Bike Mart and told the salesman we were total newbs and looking for beginner bikes. He nods his head as if he understands us and says, “Ah yes, so the sub-$1000 range.” Sub-$1,000?! Um, wow. I really was under the impression a $300 bike was a lot of money. I mean, I still have to be able to afford shoes. So I get completely schooled/versed on bikes and read a lot of stuff online but I still can’t part with the money for a nice road bike – I ended up going with a hybrid Men’s DiamondBack but I absolutely love it. It cost me a little less than $300 from Sports Authority and came with a free tune-up in the first year. I like that my seat is more cushion-y than actual road bikes and that my handles bend back slightly so I can sit up straight when I’m riding. It’s a lot more comfortable.  Read on to learn more about bjeanne18′s bike race prep.

One of the hottest exercise trends (literally) is Bikram Yoga. On The Late Show with David Letterman , Jason Bateman tells the story of actually working with Bikram himself when he was a kid growing up in Los Angeles. The memory isn’t exactly a happy one for Jason, but in classic Jason Bateman fashion he retells the story of being in Bikram’s class, and he brings along a picture of him with Bikram to prove that he was there.

When I’m craving something salty and crunchy, crackers can be a healthier choice than chips. I love nibbling them on their own, dipped in hummus, or topped with cheese and sliced apples. Not all crackers are created equally though. Some will make you drop your cracker when you find out how much sodium they contain. Then others might have you reaching for more when you discover they’re a good source of protein. Check out the chart below to see how they all compare.

The history of hemp products in the natural health industry has been one largely dominated by uncertainty. So it didn’t surprise me when a client recently asked me about them. I offered a brief summary and my best opinion. Needless to say, it differed from what he had previously been told.
