Eating red meat may be linked to breast cancer, according to a study of women’s health conducted by Harvard Medical School researchers. The study assessed 90,000 women over a 12-year period and found that higher red meat intake increased the risk of hormone-related breast cancer. Women who ate more than 1.5 daily servings of red meat—which includes beef, pork, and lamb—were nearly twice as likely to be at risk than women who ate 3 or fewer servings per week. The researchers gathered evidence by means...
...initially healthy American women have been monitored. Genetic samples from each of the women will undergo a comprehensive genome-wide scan looking for 317,000 potential genetic differences between the women who remain healthy and those who have suffered from a serious illness like a heart attack, breast cancer, or diabetes. Dr. Elizabeth G. Nabel, director of the NBHLI, said that eventually the genomic database will be made available for scientists worldwide, allowing for new discoveries in drug development and personalized disease treatment and prevention. “The hope is to get the right drug to the right patient...
Make no mistake about it, a war on wrinkles is under way. And Medicis and Allergan aren't the only ones battling for the $14 billion Americans will spend this year to rejuvenate their aging faces.

The winners are the trial lawyers...

"This is it," said one of the men, thrusting something into the breast pocket of his dishdasha and pulling him out of the trunk. "Thank God for your freedom." The car sped away before Waddah could get to his feet. He found himself just outside a well-known mosque, with 5,000 Iraqi dinars ($3.30) in his pocket. He was able...
