“It is critical that American consumers are able to make informed decisions about the meat they buy. Consumers should be able to know that they are truly supporting American farmers and ranchers from labels at the store,” said Rep. Khanna. “Right now, consumers and producers are hurting from a lack of transparency in the marketplace. R-CALF USA and the Texas Animal Protein Producers Prosperity and Security group released a joint statement: “We applaud Representative Gooden and Khanna’s introduction of the American Beef Labeling Act in the U.S. House. This bill will empower consumers to make informed choices by requiring country of origin labels on beef purchased in grocery stores. The bipartisan Senate bill was introduced by Senators John Thune (R-S.Dak.), Jon Tester (D-Mont.), Mike Rounds (R-S.Dak.), and Cory Booker (D-N.J.) in September 2021. Without MCOOL, we will import ourselves out of a domestic market.” This legislation joins its companion effort already introduced in the Senate, the American Beef Labeling Act of 2021, S. 2716.

Large-scale comparative study of cancer trends in China and the USA (News-Medical.net)

Cancer is currently the most common cause of death in most developed countries around the world. In the USA, comprehensive progress in cancer research, ...

The primary contributors to reduced cancer mortality in the USA over the last 30 years have been improved cancer screening methods and newly developed cancer treatments. In terms of cancer types, lung cancer is the most common in China, and breast cancer in the USA. The overall findings also showed intriguingly inverse epidemiologic trends in cancer rates amongst these countries. Incremental cancer deaths from 1991 to 2019 were analyzed and attributed to four major factors: population aging, population size, age-specific cancer incidence, and the mortality–to–incidence ratio from a particular type of cancer (or its case-fatality rate). In both these countries, however, lung cancer continues to be the leading cause of death. To provide some answers, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College performed a large-scale comparative study of cancer trends in China and the USA, using open-source data. However, the effectiveness of cancer prevention strategies is highly dependent on cancer epidemiology (i.e., the trends in the incidence, distribution, causative factors, etc.
