Friday, September 7th, 2007Microwave Popcorn Linked to Lung Harm
Friday, September 7th, 2007Rare, Deadly Lung Disease Hits Microwave Popcorn Lover
Reviewed by Brunilda Nazario, MD
Sept. 5, 2007 — Inhaled fumes from microwave popcorn may have caused a man’s rare, deadly lung disease, a leading lung expert says.
The expert is Cecile Rose, MD, MPH, head of the division of environmental and occupational health sciences at National Jewish Medical and Research Center and associate professor of pulmonary medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
Rose reported the case in a July 18 letter to the FDA, the CDC, the EPA, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. None of these agencies has yet issued a public health alert. The letter became public when published on The Pump Handle web site, a public health blog.
According to her letter, the man complained of a worsening cough and increasing shortness of breath. Lung function tests and imaging studies show he has bronchiolitis obliterans — obliteration of the tiny airways in the lung.
It’s a rare disease, first seen in 1985 in workers in food-flavor factories. In 2002, the disease was seen in workers making microwave popcorn — in particular, those exposed to a buttery-tasting chemical called diacetyl. There have been many other reports since then, with at least three deaths and many patients awaiting lung transplants.
But Rose’s patient had never been exposed to food-flavoring fumes. His only exposure was to the two or more bags of microwave popcorn he consumed every day.
Rose took a team to the man’s house and tested the air while microwaving some popcorn. Air levels of diacetyl were similar to those in the area of a microwave popcorn factory where workers were affected.
Many foods other than popcorn contain diacetyl. There’s no indication that eating these foods is dangerous. But breathing fumes containing diacetyl appears to be very dangerous.
Microwave popcorn, of course, gives off hot fumes if the bag is opened before the cooked popcorn cools. According to news reports, Rose’s patient liked to inhale the aroma of newly popped microwave popcorn. Rose reports that his symptoms stopped getting worse when he stopped making microwave popcorn.

Computer security
Friday, September 7th, 2007I decided to actually get something productive done while sick at home today and have started working on some articles to do with computer security.
Check out the article so far on my OakleyIT website and let me know what you think. If there’s anything I can add or change, please feel free to post a comment.
New iPods released
Friday, September 7th, 2007
Observers have been expecting a significant revamp to Apple’s iPod lineup, especially after the release of the iPhone in all of its touchscreen glory. So when Apple announced today’s special event—as we predicted—with the tagline “The beat goes on,” we knew the time for an iPod refresh had come. We weren’t disappointed, as Apple announced an all-new line-up of iPods from top to bottom, including a new “fat” iPod nano at $149 and $199, a “classic” iPod at $249 and $349, and the much-anticipated iPod touch with WiFi, Safari, and a touchscreen interface—an iPhone without the phone capability and dedicated e-mail client—for $299 and $399. The iPod touch will be able to purchase music directly from the iTunes Store via WiFi. Apple also had a major bit of news with regards to the iPhone, dropping the price for the 8GB model by $200 to $399 and eliminating the 4GB model altogether.
iPod shuffle
At the bottom of the lineup is a new (PRODUCT) Red iPod Shuffle with 1GB of storage for $79.
Apple gives a portion of the purchase price to the Global Fund to fight AIDS in Africa.
iPod nano
The leaked pictures of the “fat” iPod nano have proven to be the real deal, as the new nano sports a 2″ 320×240 LCD and a doubled storage capacity of 4GB and 8GB. The nano now supports video for the first time, and users will be able to browse their libraries using CoverFlow.
iPod classic
For those with truly enormous music and video libraries, the iPod Classic will be available with capacities of up to 160GB. The 80GB model will retail for $249 while the new 160GB model will set you back $349.
iPod touch
Topping off the iPod announcements was a new “iPod touch.” The iPhone’s touchscreen interface is coming to the iPod, and the iPod touch will have the same-sized screen as the iPhone, but will be 8mm thin. It, too, will have what Jobs described as the “revolutionary” multitouch interface of the iPhone.
A touchscreen and a new form factor aren’t the only new features the iPod touch is bringing to the lineup. The iPod touch will be the first iPod to have WiFi support built in and will also come with a version of Safari. Jobs said that it’s the “first time ever” a browser has been built into a digital audio player. The iPod touch will feature support for YouTube, like the iPhone, and users will be able to navigate around the web via the device’s on-screen keyboard.
When iPod touch owners are near a Starbucks (and is it ever possible to be far away from one?), a Starbucks button will appear on the display, which will allow users to buy whatever song happens to be playing there with a single tap of the finger and also the last 10 songs played. The iPod touch will also get free access to the iTunes Store from Starbucks as the result of the partnership announced between Apple and Starbucks.
* Prices are obviously $USD. It would be interesting to see if the Australian Starbucks will provide the same access as in the USA.
