Senate Votes in Favor
allowing Americans to seek Cheaper Medicines in Canada
U.S.
customs and border security agents would be banned from
seizing prescription drugs that Americans import from
Canada under a
measure passed by the Senate.
The
Senate voted 68-32 in favor of the provision, with supporters
saying the federal government should stay out of the way of
Americans seeking cheaper medicines in
Canada for personal
use.
Whether
it will become law is uncertain. Similar language cleared the
U.S. House of Representatives in May, but both chambers must
agree on a final version before sending it to President George
W. Bush to decide whether to sign it.
The
Bush administration has opposed congressional efforts to allow
importation of lower-cost medicines from
Canada or other
countries, saying the drugs could be dangerous. Critics say
Bush and other opponents exaggerate the risks to protect drug
industry profits.
US Customs and
Border Protection bureau began aggressively seizing Tamiflu,
Viagra and other incoming prescription medications at borders
in November 2005. Prescription drugs - even those manufactured
in the United States - are generally sold at cheaper prices in
Canada
"This is going to ensure that
Americans, especially the frail, elderly, or those with
debilitating conditions, are going to be able to at least have
a chance of affording the medications that they need," Bill
Nelson said.

Trans
Fats
Killing Us...
Fats in foods are made up of 4 different types of
fatty acids - polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, saturated, and
trans. Evidence shows that consuming saturated fat, trans fat,
and dietary cholesterol raises low density lipoprotein (LDL)
or bad cholesterol, which increases the risk of coronary heart
disease (CHD). According to the National Heart, Lung, and
Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health, more
than 12.5 million Americans have CHD, and more than 500,000
die each year. That makes CHD one of the leading causes of
death in the
United
States.
Trans fat (also known as Trans Fatty Acids) forms
when liquid oil is changed into a solid fat. Trans fat is made when
manufacturers add hydrogen to vegetable oil, a process called
hydrogenation, which increases the shelf life and flavor
stability of foods containing these
fats.
Trans fat can be found in vegetable shortenings, some
margarines, crackers, cookies, snack foods, and other foods
made with or fried in partially hydrogenated oils. Unlike
other fats, the majority of trans
fat is formed when food manufacturers turn liquid oils into
solid fats like shortening and hard margarine. A small amount
of trans
fat is found naturally, primarily in dairy products, some
meat, and other animal-based foods. It is recommended that 20
to 35 per cent of the calories you consume should come from
fat. That is 45 to 75 grams of fat for the average woman on a
2000 calorie-a-day diet. For the average man on a 2500
calorie-a-day diet, it's 60 to 105 grams of fat. Everyday,
Americans consume an average 10 grams of trans fats. May not
sound like much, but a gram of trans fat is said to be 10
times harder on your body than a gram of saturated
fat.
Some
tips to lower the trans fat in your
diet:
Choose
low fat milk products as well as leaner meats, poultry, and
fish. Try to choose dried peas, beans and lentils more often.
Eat
less fat. Consider all sources of fat in your diet and work on
reducing the total amount of fat you eat. By cutting down on
your fat intake, you will automatically reduce the amount of
trans fat and saturated fat in your diet. The less total fat
in your diet, the less trans fat.
Limit
the amount of processed foods you eat. They are the major
sources of hidden trans fat. This included foods such as
cookies, crackers, baked goods, potato chips, French fries,
and other deep fried foods.
If
using margarine, choose a soft tub margarine. Soft tub
margarines tend to contain less trans fat than harder
margarines. There are some soft tub margarines that are non
hydrogenated and have no trans fat. Whichever spread you
choose, spread it thinly, less fat is
better.
Learn
to read the nutrition label. Nutrition labels often list the
amount of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fat
in a product, but not the amount of trans fat. To estimate the
amount of trans fat in a product, subtract the amount of
saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats from the
amount of total fat.

What you had to say
"Just want to commend you on your
services. Here in the
U.S. we have a new
drug program, Medicare Part D, which I'm sure you're aware
of. However, if one of my drugs is not in their
formulary you must pay top price in a retail drugstore.
In two instances, I have ordered prescription drugs from you
and even though one of them came from an International source
it did not take that long and the price was MUCH less than
here. We intend to continue ordering from you & feel
confident that the drugs are identical to those sold
here. "
SS
"I order my allergy medicine from you.
Your prices are outstanding. They are better than my own
health insurance plan.
Please thank your customer service department
for the outstanding service and friendly services. Thank
you."
TK
"You have
literally saved my life! My employer does not offer
health insurance. I have several major health problems,
including lupus, COPD and severe allergies. Without
CanadaDrugsOnline, I could not afford the 22 pills I take
every day. You have made the difference between
struggling through each day in pain and actually enjoying
life! "Thanks" is an inadequate word!"
