...true that whole-grain foods provide at least heart benefits," says TIME medical columnist Christine Gorman, "but the cancer benefits are more ambiguous." Health information on the package of foods is certainly helpful, but consumers need to retain a cautionary attitude, says Gorman. "One thing to watch out for is how much sugar is added to a cereal. Sugar provides empty calories with no nutritional value." To qualify for the new label, a food must contain 51 percent or more whole-grain ingredients by weight...
...fascinating that it took Viagra for people to recognize the importance of contraceptive coverage to women," says TIME medical columnist Christine Gorman. "The legislatures are realizing that if you cover Viagra, you have to give equal coverage to birth control." But Viagra may be having an even greater impact than on just the gender-equity front.

There are apparent side effects to raloxifene, however, such as an increased risk of blood clots. And there are also side effects to the other well...

The problem in the Holy Land, however, is that the beauty, the history and the associations of the region can be awesome. "I have never heard of anyone going to the Holy Land," says TIME senior religion reporter Emily Mitchell, "who was not overwhelmed by the emotions it engendered. That can put a severe strain on some mentally fragile people." While cynics may be prone to smirk over the Jerusalem Syndrome, it?s important to remember one thing, says...
