CISION PRNewswire
The US Congress has passed the FDA Modernization Act, which amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act (FFDCA) to enable drug developers to use human-relevant testing methods, such as cell-based assays, microphysiological systems (Organ-Chips) or bioprinted or computer models, instead of animal testing. The act will now be passed to President Biden to be signed into law. The current drug development paradigm requires animal testing to be carried out on new drug applications, even though 90-95% of drugs that pass animal testing fail when trialled on humans. However, modern testing methods, including Organ-Chips, have been shown to outperform animal testing. The new act is expected to speed up drug discovery and reduce the cost of life-saving medicine.

There's a new restaurant just across the Newport Beach border in downtown Huntington Beach called Great Bites that's serving what co-owner Josh Crater calls "healthy nutritious real food that actually tastes great and everyone wants to eat, not like boring bland traditional health food." Crater's quote perfectly sums up the stigma around "health food." The phrase conjures images of kale salads, fake meat or tofu, quinoa bowls and sprouts.
