Medical authority calls for stricter laws on dietary supplements
In 2017, producers introduced 15,000 new supplements onto the market, which is more than the previous nine years in total. While a study carried out by the Medical University of Łódź found that 50 percent of Poles consider them safe to use, no more than 0.5 percent of the products are medically tested by the Chief Sanitary Inspectorate, the Rzeczpospolita daily reported. Polish law does not require the testing of the products before they are put up for sale. The Polish supplements market was worth PLN 4.02 billion (EUR 940 million, USD 1.12 bn) in 2017. Poles purchase 240 million products containing supplementary ingredients annually, the Rzeczpospolita daily said. Meanwhile, over 11 percent of people consuming dietary supplements experience unwanted side effects, according to the study by the Medical University of Łódź. Tests have found discrepancies in the actual content of active ingredients in supplements compared to information given on the label. In one case, drugs were detected in a Chinese-manufactured weight-loss product. (aba) Source: Rzeczpospolita

2018 WAFCA Winners
2018 WAFCA Winners

As a film critic of medium-low importance, one of my most sacred duties is participating in the Washington Area Film Critics Association (WAFCA) year-end awards extravaganza. During this hallowed time of year, I watch dozens of movies and mine my own recollection of the good, the bad, and the ugly to determine what, precisely, the best films of the year were. At the end of this grueling process—this death march through endless stacks of DVDs, searching for the rarest pearl in an ever-increasing sea of muck—we WAFCA members nominate up to five films/people in each category. The five films/people who earn the most votes in every category are then voted upon by the whole of the membership, the winners are chosen, the press release is sent out, and blessed, blessed relief descends upon us as we put the exercise to rest for 11 months.
