Anat Hakim, a partner in Foley & Lardner's intellectual property group, expects she'll keep hearing them as Florida's bioscience industry grows and more companies spin off from Scripps, the Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies and the Burnham Institute for Medical Research. The suit claims "pet food companies market their products as wholesome, choice cuts of meat, natural and complete and balanced diets even though they are fully aware that this food is largely carbohydrates and sugars combined with toxic preservatives and additives with very little to no meat at all.

THE QUESTION: Just what causes the crying and fussing of a colicky baby remains a bit of a mystery. In breast-fed infants, might changing their mothers' diet - by eliminating foods that cause allergic reactions in some people - alleviate the babies' discomfort?
THIS STUDY randomly assigned the mothers of 107 colicky infants, who were about 6 weeks old, either to exclude certain foods (cow's milk, eggs, nuts, wheat, soy and fish) or to include these foods in their diet. Both groups avoided food preservatives, coloring and additives, and all infants were breast-fed exclusively. After one week, 74 percent of the mothers on the low-allergen diet (versus 37 percent of the others) reported that their babies' crying and fussing time had decreased more than 25 percent from before the diets chan...
