Anecdotes from the work world, however, suggest that it's the overachievers who tend to seek further enhancement. Dr. Gaby Cora, a psychiatrist and life coach from Florida, says her patients are like Bob. "They are extremely smart and very successful. We're not talking about someone struggling to perform. I do organization, planning and prioritizing - and lifestyle changes like exercise, relaxation, better sleep, nutrition - with patients first. But when I need to prescribe, I do.

Although noise-induced hearing loss typically occurs from continuous loud exposure, it can also result from high-intensity "impulse noises," such as gunshots or explosions. According to Dr. Malcolm Buchanan, one of the report's authors, the safe limit for impulse noises is 110 decibels. The titanium drivers all exceeded this limit, with one club cracking out 128 decibels. (See the full results here.) The noise measurements would have been even higher at an enclosed driving range, Buchanan said...

"The reality is that the vast majority of kids - 95% plus - have no potential to get peanut allergies no matter what you do," he says, "and there's ½ % to 1% who are going to get it no matter what you do." Although the findings of the U.K.-Israel study are intriguing, he says, they apply to a very small percentage of children, and more research needs to be done to determine...
