...capable of interfering with the hormones that regulate masculinity and femininity. Several hundred animal studies have linked phthalates to prostate and breast cancers, abnormal genitals, early puberty onset and obesity. More recently, they've been shown to affect humans as well. In a paper published last year in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, scientists from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and several universities found that boys born to mothers with higher phthalate levels are far more likely to show altered genital development, linked to incomplete testicular descent. Harvard School of Public Health studies report that men with higher...

...percent-higher likelihood of developing bladder cancer than those who never eat bacon. Consuming, with similar regularity, chicken cooked with the skin taken off makes one 52 percent more likely to develop the disease, according to the study, published in this month’s issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. There are at least 10 chicken dishes on the menu between today and Monday, according to the Web site of Harvard University Dining Services (HUDS), and many of them—from chicken pot pie to chicken marsala—are skinless.

Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have discovered in mice what they believe to be cardiac master cells, which have the potential of developing into the three different types of heart tissue. The breakthrough study, which will be published in the Dec. 15 issue of the journal Cell, raises hopes for new and far more effective drug and regenerative treatments for heart diseases. Scientists at Children’s Hospital Boston also independently discovered a different stem cell line that develops into two main cell types that form the heart. The results of the studies challenge the previous notion that...
