...results show that the level of mental distress kids reported was strongly associated with how much acne they said they had, independent of other factors like diet or lifestyle. Roughly 19% of all kids who reported symptoms of anxiety and depression said they had acne, compared to only 12% of those who reported no mental distress. Among boys, those with depression and anxiety were 68% more likely to report acne than their happier peers; among girls, those with mental distress were twice as likely as those without to report acne.

Our diet was incredibly limited, and vegetarians be warned—if you don’t eat pepperoni your only lunch will be gruyère cheese...for days...and days...and days. Of course, our specially prepared trail mix helped out in those in-between times, but by the second...
...opposition to the LDP; it has no obvious coherent ideology of its own. Though there are a number of old heads in the party--its minence grise, former LDP minister Ichiro Ozawa, has been a player in Japanese politics for 30 years--no fewer than 46% of its Diet members will be first-time parliamentarians. But voters were prepared to take a chance on the new team, hoping it will have fresh ideas to address Japan's protracted economic malaise and growing social ills...
