Newsweek - A commonly prescribed pain medication—gabapentin—often considered a safer alternative to opioids for those who suffer from low back pain is now under scrutiny after being linked to increased risks of dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
According to a large-scale observational study published in the journal Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine, patients who received frequent gabapentin prescriptions were significantly more likely to develop dementia and/or MCI.
Four varieties of Ritz Crackers sold nationwide have been recalled due to mislabeling that could be dangerous for people with food allergies. Three carton sizes of RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches and one carton size of the RITZ Filled Cracker Sandwich Variety Pack contain individually-wrapped cracker packages labeled “cheese,” even though the products contain peanut butter.
According to Mondelēz Global LLC, the maker of RITZ Crackers, people with peanut allergies should not eat the recalled products and should discard them. No injuries have been reported so far.
