Bladder cancer breakthrough; At-home test detects 92% of cancers

A new study found an at-home urine test detected 92.2% of bladder cancers among 964 patients across seven NHS hospitals.

How was Old Monk selling 'pure' rum despite it having only 5% rum?

Why has FSSAI asked Old Monk not to call its product 'rum'?

Why has FSSAI asked Old Monk not to call its product 'rum'?

Bombay High Court refused to stay FSSAI's order banning Old Monk rum's sale in Maharashtra. The case stems from FSSAI's objection to Old Monk's use of "7 years old blended" and "very old vatted" on its bottles, which contain rum-flavoured spirits and not actual rum. Marketing a spirit with 2-5% actual rum as 'pure rum' could mislead consumers, FSSAI argued.
