Having read the full study, though, I can report that the news is not all that bad. To be sure, the researchers--sponsored by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development--studied 1,300 children from birth to age three, in every child-rearing situation, and concluded that the mother-child relationship often takes a hit when babies are cared for by someone other than Mom. But it's important to note that this concern relates mainly to the child's first year, and especially the first four months. Placing babies in child care during this period...
What Zicam, which sells for $9 to $12 a bottle, has going for it is a simple idea for preventing cold viruses from attacking the nasal passages. Four years ago, a report in the Annals of Internal Medicine suggested that hapless snifflers could cut a cold's duration almost in half by sucking on foul-tasting zinc lozenges. That's because zinc ions are about the same size and shape as the molecular doorway through which one major group of cold viruses, called the rhinoviruses (rhino for "nose"), breaks into the nasal cells. Coat those viruses with zinc, and they...
