High Mercury Levels Are Found in Tuna Sushi

Sushi from 5 of the 20 places had mercury levels so high that the Food and Drug Administration could take legal action to remove the fish from the market. The sushi was bought by The New York Times in October.

“No one should eat a meal of tuna with mercury levels like those found in the restaurant samples more than about once every three weeks," said Dr. Michael Gochfeld, professor of environmental and occupational medicine at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in Piscataway, N.J.

Eli Lilly fired back against a New York Times on Zyprexa charges

Eli Lilly & Co. Monday fired back against a New York Times article that claims the firm promoted schizophrenia drug Zyprexa for off-label use.

The Times article published over the weekend said Lilly has been touting Zyprexa for the unapproved indication to treat dementia in elderly patients.

However, the company released a statement Monday saying, "At Lilly, we do not engage in off-label promotion -- as alleged in The Times article. Lilly is committed to the highest ethical standards and to promoting our medications only for approved uses."
