One can learn a lot about a health brand by its collab co-signs. Since its founding in 2016 by recovering addict/ex-con/ur-patriot Aaron Singerman, Redcon1 has hitched its star to Nascar and the US military, along with junk-food brands like Hostess and the newly revitalized soda brand Jolt Cola. This handily explains its expansive selection of kooky supplement flavors, which are essentially drinkable pastries that allege to help you get swole.
When prepared per the suggestion of its packaging, the combo of about 30 grams of cookies 'n' cream powder mixed with 6 ounces of water yields a thick beige liquid that's punctuated by little black clumps of cookie dust. It's as weird as it is tasty, and if I weren't already the type of person who thought a selfie in front of an Arby's was a solid Tinder profile pic, I would probably be ashamed to like this as much as I did. Once you get used to the sweet and dusty bits of cookie that bust open when you chew them, this is a fun ride for anyone who can hang.
Redcon1's MRE series is technically a protein powder, but it's heavy on protein for its rather diminutive calorie count, making it a fine meal replacement assuming you have a salad or some other fibrous food item on deck for lunch or dinner. One 6-ounce glass of this candy-like slurry filled me right up in the morning, and I was good to go until salad time rolled around at noon. Cost per serving: Around $1 Other flavors available: Banana Nut Bread, Blueberry Cobbler, Chocolate, Chocolate Mousse, Fudge Brownie, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter Cookie, Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake, Snickerdoodle, Strawberry Shortcake, Vanilla Milkshake Allergens: Milk, egg, fish, tree nuts, wheat, soy Protein: 24 g Calories: 130 Carbs: 4 g Fat: 2 g Caffeine: No

Ousted vaccine panel members say rigorous science is being abandoned
NEW YORK (AP) — The 17 experts who were ousted from a government vaccine committee last month say they have little faith in what the panel has become, and have outlined possible alternative ways to make U.S. vaccine policy. U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. abruptly fired the entire Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, accusing them of being too closely aligned with manufacturers and of rubber-stamping vaccines. He handpicked replacements that include several vaccine skeptics. In a commentary published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, the former panel members wrote that Kennedy — a leading voice in the anti-vaccine movement before becoming the U.S. government's top health official — and his new panel are abandoning rigorous scientific review and open deliberation. That was clear, they said, during the new panel's first meeting, in June. It featured a presentation by an anti-vaccine advocate that warned of dangers about a preservative used in a few flu vaccines, but the committee members didn't hear from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention staffers about an analysis that concluded there was no link between the preservative and neurodevelopmental disorders. The new panel recommended that the preservative, thimerosal, be removed even as some members acknowledged there was no proof it was causing harm. 'That meeting was a travesty, honestly,' said former ACIP member Dr. Yvonne Maldonado, a pediatric infectious diseases expert at Stanford University. The 17 discharged experts last month published a shorter essay in the Journal of the American Medical Association that decried Kennedy's 'destabilizing decisions." The focus was largely on their termination and on Kennedy's decision in May to stop recommending COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children and pregnant women. In the new commentary, the ousted committee members took it one step further and prescribed some steps that could be taken to maintain scientifically sound vaccine recommendations. 'An alternative to the Committee should be established quickly and — if necessary — independently from the federal government," they wrote. 'No viable pathway exists to fully replace the prior trusted and unbiased ACIP structure and process. Instead, the alternatives must focus on limiting the damage to vaccination policy in the United States.' Options included having professional organizations working together to harmonize vaccine recommendations or establishing an external auditor of ACIP recommendations. There are huge challenges to the ideas, including having access to the best data, the authors acknowledged. There's also the question of whether health insurers would pay for vaccinations that are recommended by alternative groups but not ACIP. They might pick and choose which vaccines to cover, said the University of North Carolina's Noel Brewer, another former ACIP member. For example, they might pay for vaccines that offer more immediate cost savings for health care, like the flu vaccine. 'But maybe not ones that have a longer-term benefit like HPV vaccine,' which is designed to prevent futures cancers, Brewer said. Officials with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services did not immediately respond to a request for comment. ___ The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Science and Educational Media Group and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Recall issued over energy drinks mistakenly containing vodka
MODESTO, Calif. (AP) — Energy drinks that mistakenly contain vodka are being recalled in half a dozen states. High Noon is recalling two production lots of High Noon Beach Variety packs because some packs include cans containing vodka that were mislabeled as Celsius Astro Vibe Energy Drink, according to a U.S. Food and Drug Administration recall notice Wednesday. The cans contain vodka seltzer and were mislabeled as 'sparkling blue razz'-flavored Celsius Astro Vibe energy drinks, the notice said. Consumption of the liquid in the cans will result in 'unintentional alcohol ingestion,' the company said. The packs were distributed to retailers in Florida, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin. The recall was initiated after the company discovered that a shared packaging supplier mistakenly shipped empty Celsius energy drink cans to High Noon. No illnesses or adverse events have been reported related to the labeling error, according to the company. Consumers who purchased the beverages with the impacted codes found in the recall notice should dispose of it, the notice said. Consumers are also encouraged to make sure any Sparkling Blue Razz Celsius Astro Vibe energy drinks do not contain the specific lot codes in the notice before drinking them.
