A.M. Vitals: Does Jell-O Cause Hyperactivity?

Published On: March 30th, 2011

FDA V. Food Colors: For the first time, the FDA is assessing whether or not foods like Jell-O, Lucky Charms and Minute Maid Lemonade should carry warnings that their artificial colors could worsen behavioral problems in kids, the New York Times reports.

The FDA has previously decided that there is not a link between the colors and behavior or health problems, but the NYT says that it will ask a panel of experts on Wednesday and Thursday to review the evidence. More and more studies have suggested a link, the Times says.

Drug Deal: Valeant Pharmaceuticals of Canada last night made a hostile bid for Cephalon for $5.7 billion, the WSJ reports.

The all-cash offer is a 24.5% premium, and Valeant CEO J. Michael Pearson said he would be willing to increase it “somewhat.” Cephalon said it would consider the offer. The two share branded generics in Europe; Cephalon’s best-known drug, the narcolepsy medicine Provigil, loses patent protection next year.

Disappearing Stent: Abbott Labs is investing in a stent that dissolves when the body no longer needs it, DJN reports.

The stent market is big business for makers like J&J and Abbott, but most of the products are metal scaffolds. Abbott’s new version is made from a plastic-like substance used in sutures. It won approval in Europe this year but is years away from U.S. regulatory approval.
