JAMA -- Outbreak of Listeriosis Associated With Homemade Mexican-Style Cheese--North Carolina, October 2000-January 2001, August 8, 2001, 286 (6): 664 (#)
„Because of the health risks associated with the consumption of raw milk and raw milk products, FDA requires pasteurization of all dairy products sold across state lines except cheese made from raw milk that has to be aged a minimum of 60 days.1,2 Despite North Carolina laws prohibiting the sale and consumption of raw milk and raw milk products, such practices persist in some communities as a result of consumers' taste preferences and for cultural reasons. The popularity of queso fresco, a Mexican-style fresh soft cheese made from unpasteurized milk, has resulted in several outbreaks in Hispanic communities since the 1980s. In 1985, an outbreak of septic abortions attributed to L. monocytogenes occurred among Hispanics in Los Angeles and Orange counties, California.3 In 1997, three outbreaks of multidrug resistant Salmonella serotype Typhimurium DT104 complex strains occurred in Hispanic communities in northern California and Washington.4,5“

BBC News | HEALTH | Pine cone source for stroke drug
„Low Graphics Tuesday, 9 October, 2001, 09:42 GMT 10:42 UK Pine cone source for stroke drug Damage can be widespread following stroke A molecule extracted from green tea leaves or pine cones may be able to reduce the brain damage from strokes, say scientists. Gallotannin, and nobotanin B - found in a Japanese flower - both cut the damage from a simulated stroke in mouse brain cells grown in the laboratory. However, there is no guarantee that they will work as well in a real patient. The hours following a stroke are crucial to the future prospects, or even survival of the patient.“
