and in fact the usda, the f.d.a., the c.d.c. and the g.a.o. have all confirmed that catfish, both domestic and imported, is already safe under f.d.a.'s jurisdiction, and in fact you're more likely to get hit by lightning than to get sick from imported or domestic catfish. so let's not lose sight of what we're talking about here. f.d.a. inspects hundreds of species of domestic and imported seafood. there is nothing particularly dangerous about catfish that merits setting up a whole separate inspection program under the u.s. department of agriculture. the fact is the f.d.a. is responsible for the safety of most, about 80% to 90% of all u.s. domestic and imported foods, and it has years of successful expertise in the unique area of seafood safety. so the f.d.a. system has worked for both domestic and imported seafood, and it has done so for years. so let's talk about how we got to this point. before 2008, the f.d.a. was responsible for inspecting all foreign and domestic fish products. while the usda, the department of agriculture, the food and dr

david kessler who ran the f.d.a. from 1990 to 1997 doesn't hold back when talking about the explosion in opioid use in the last two decades. who is to blame? >> the f.d.a. has responsibility. the pharmaceutical companies have responsibility. physicians have responsibility. we didn't see these drugs for what they truly are. >> reporter: from 1999 to 2014, sales of opioids qoopled in the u.s., and so did the number of opioid-related overdose deaths. >> there was a notion that pain was the fifth vital sign, that you wanted to relieve pain, that that was essential. we dosed until the payne was alleviated. >> reporter: that, says kessler, was a costly mistake. 78 people now die each day from overdosing on painkillers, but the c.d.c. didn't issue prescription guidelines until this past march. recommending doctors try ov-the-counter pain meds before prescribing more limited quantities of opioids, but not mandating they do so. given the fact that thisou are these guidelines strong enough? >> we'll see. this is an american con

susan mayne is with the f.d.a. >> the key importance is that the label gives you useful information aboutl the key attributes that we hope consumers will consider in choosing healthy diets. >> reporter: portions will more realistically reflect what people eat. for instance, a serving of ice cream is now a half a cup, but the new serving size will be two-thirds of a cup. a serving of soda will go from eight ounces to 12 ounces. one of the more controversial changes is the added sugars line. nutrition advocates have long sought that information so consumers can understand how much sugar in an item is naturally occurring. but the spotlight on added sugars is drawing criticism from the sugar association's president courtney gaine. >> we do not feel that the label that came out this morning is going to help consumers be healthier. not only will it not help but it could have harmful consequences. >> reporter: many shoppers we spoke to welcomed the changes. i notice you put something back >> yeah, the sodium count was so high. >> reporter: 37-year-old sal lombardo is among the 77% of americans t

the f.d.a. no longer inspects any catfish. usda's food and safety inspection service is the only agency inspecting catfish. additionally, the usda and the f.d.a. operate under a memorandum of understanding to prevent duplication. for decades, usda and f.d.a. have coordinated to prevent duplicative inspections with regard to seafood, beef, pork and poultry. the fact is the f.d.a. did not adequately inspect catfish. the f.d.a. inspected less than 2% of catfish, and it lab tested even a smaller percentage. it would not be a stretch to argue that we had very little inspection at all. in contrast, the usda's food safety service inspects all catfish as they do with other farm-raised meat. this rule is not a w.t.o. violation. equivalent standards are applied to imported and domestic fish. the usda has been inspecting beef, pork and poultry with this system for decades. is that too much to ask for? why should american consumers be subjected to harmful contaminants that we can prevent? contrary to what you may hear, this program is also

the f.d.a.'sion to grant duke "breakthrough status" means the second phase of the trial will be expanded to about 40 institutions with hundreds of patients. if that goes well, duke will be allowed to skip the third phase of the trial and make polio therapy for glioblastoma available to all. the route to this achievement was not a straight line. the first volunteers saw their tumors disappear. but later, patients suffered crippling setbacks. there was a way forward but researchers found themselves on a path they had not imagined. their guide through the mystery was a patient named brendan steele. >> riley and connor, from mom and dad. >> pelley: on christmas eve, 2009, brendan steele could not know how precious the gift of life would be. at 37, he was an i.t. manager in montana, a husband and father of three. but then doctors found glioblastoma and gave him 11 months to say goodbye. when surgery, radiation and chemotherapy failed, brendan volunteered for duke's polio trial and in 2013, he received
