Is There Arsenic in Apple Juice? Dr. Oz Says Yes.
| October 10, 2011
For an episode airing today, Dr. Oz decided to test five major-label brands of apple juice for their arsenic content. What he found were that, of 33 samples taken, 10 showed arsenic levels above those deemed safe by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and one sample was higher than the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) guidelines.
The FDA is crying foul on his findings, however. In a statement released yesterday, the organization said that while there are some levels of arsenic in apple juice, it’s important to distinguish the difference between organic and inorganic arsenic. Organic arsenic, hence the name, is naturally occurring in the environment and can be found in many foods. The FDA stresses that this type of arsenic won’t do any harm to you or your family. Inorganic arsenic, on the other hand, can prove deadly if ingested in large quantities. It maintains that if Dr. Oz did further testing of the juices, he would find that the majority of the arsenic is organic.

This Exists: ‘Obama Fried Chicken’ Is China’s Newest Fast Food Craze
| October 10, 2011
The image of President Barack Obama as Colonel Sanders advertising a fried chicken restaurant would immediately be flagged as unacceptably racist, but that seems to be exactly what has popped up in Beijing. The Daily Mail reports that “Obama Fried Chicken,” complete with the President in suspenders and bow tie and the slogan, “We’re so cool, aren’t we?”
It is already bizarre enough (and probably some sort of copyright infringement, but that depends on what copyright laws in communist China are like) that this independent company decided the President of the United States would be their best spokesman, but it appears they aren’t alone in thinking Obama = infinite chicken profits.
The Earthscraper, A 65 Story Inverted Skyscraper
| October 9, 2011
The design is an inverted pyramid with a central void to allow all habitable spaces to enjoy natural lighting and ventilation. To conserve the numerous activities that take place on the city square year round (concerts, political manifestations, open-air exhibitions, cultural gatherings, military parades.), the massive hole will be covered with a glass floor that allows the life of the Earthscraper to blend with everything happening on top.
