...David Fassler, a fellow of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, says such claims haven't been validated by independent psychiatric researchers. But a visit to the camp yielded anecdotal support. An 11-year-old girl described--in disarming detail--how she was prepared for her breasts to grow and menstruation to begin. At another point, a group of adolescents listened to a 62-year-old explain why she'd undergone breast reduction. There were no giggles--in fact, most of the kids seemed bored. Nudists believe such frank talk frees their kids from the body-image worries...
...swimming, not hoops. Like his older sister Tricia, who swam backstroke in the 1988 Olympics, he was a high ranked amateur in the 400 meter freestyle.

Researchers have known for some time that alcohol consumption can increase a premenopausal woman's risk of someday developing breast cancer. But a new study by researchers at the University at Buffalo suggests that a woman's drinking patterns may be as important as how much alcohol she consumes.

The news seemed to sound the death knell for long-term hormone-replacement therapy (HRT). Yet even at the time, scientists recognized that there was a chance for a reprieve: the estrogen-progestin mix might still delay or even prevent various kinds of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. To find out, researchers began a careful analysis of a subset...
