The bisphenol-A (BPA) saga continues, this time with a study that tried to replicate the ongoing environmental exposure to BPA that the average American faces, only with monkeys instead of rodents. The Washington Post reports: Researchers at the Yale School of Medicine have linked [BPA] to problems with brain function and mood disorders in monkeys—the first time the chemical has been connected to health problems in primates. Last month, the FDA declared BPA safe enough ...

NEW YORK (AP) - Get ready for another hike in copays and deductibles. A survey being released Thursday by the Mercer consulting firm found 59 percent of companies intend to keep down rising health care costs in 2009 by raising workers' deductibles, copays or out-of-pocket spending limits. On average, health care costs will go up by an estimated 5.7 percent next year for both workers and their employers, the study found. That repeats this year's ...

This is a guest post from Dr Joel Fuhrman MD. Most people never experience the healthy sensation of feeling hungry. Most of us keep eating to avoid hunger! But actually, feeling hungry is healthy. It directs your body to consume the amount of calories it requires for optimal health and ideal bodyweight. Hunger, in the true sense of the word, indicates to us that it is time to eat again. Instead of TRUE hunger, people ...

DrSugar is in the house and answering your questions. Hey DrSugar, Lately I've started seeing various dairy products boast of their products probiotic content and they say that two weeks of eating their product daily will fix irregularity. What happens after those 2 weeks? Are you "cured," or do they expect you to continue consuming probiotics daily to stay regular? Is it possible for your GI system to become "dependent" on these probiotics? — Pro ...

This week, New Scientist will be telling you all about the common cold: why researchers are treating it with new respect, and what the chances are that we will ever cure it (hint: humans could be walking on the moon again first).

分类: 互联网络[原文连接/翻译：Judy] 有人听过网络暴力或网络谩骂(Cyber-Bulling)吗？或是你才刚碰上了一个网络小白(Griefer)？许多游戏玩家-特别是在像第二人生的在线虚拟世界中-常会碰上这种事情，根据疾病预防与控制中心(Center for Disease Control, CDC)的说法，这种网络骚扰行为正威胁着公共健康。 在CDC最新发表的一篇报告中指出，在2000到2005年间，网络暴力事件成长了50%，虽然之后并没有任何相关研究报告，不过一般相信，这是网络暴力成长最快的时期。 不幸的是，似乎没有什么人可以阻止网络暴力的发生，毕竟一般人不太可能在网络上过滤掉这些偏激的言论，然而若是你身为父母，还是可以和自己的小孩好好谈谈这个话题，教导他们如何看待这些行为言论，进而避免让他们成为其中的一份子，如果你曾是网络暴力下的牺牲者，请试着忽视。 引用来源 | 此文章网址 | 转寄此文章 | 回应

This suggests Zen meditation could help treat attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (so-called ADD or ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorder, major depression and other disorders marked by distracting thoughts.
