Despite Concerns, Weight of Evidence Backs Chromium’s Safety
Q. I keep reading that chromium supplements might be harmful. However, you’ve said that they are safe. Which is it?
A. After EN attended a summit of chromium researchers last spring, we reported that the consensus among experts was that chromium picolinate was safe. The study that spawned much of the negative news you’ve heard was released just prior to the summit. That study, however, was conducted in fruit flies.

Can You Count on Kosher Meat to Be Safe From Mad Cow Disease?
Q. I’m thinking of buying kosher meat, because I was told there is less risk of it being infected with the organism that causes mad cow disease. Is this true?
A. Possibly, but there are no guarantees. There are several practices unique to the selection and slaughter of cattle for kosher processing and preparation that may indeed reduce the likelihood that the animals will carry mad cow disease.
