Science: For Good Or Evil?
The fear of science run amok has been with us as long as the practice itself. But who decides what are the reasonable ethical boundaries for science? Commentator Marcelo Gleiser grabs ahold of this question and advises that blindly placing constraints on certain types of inquiry will not save us from Pandora's Box. We have to be smarter than that.
Fish Guidelines For Pregnant Women May Be Too Strict, Study Suggests
Since most fish contain some amount of mercury, public health officials suggest that pregnant women limit their intake to 12 ounces a week. But fresh research suggests current recommendations may be too cautious and that fish may not be a huge source of mercury for expecting moms. Still, some ob-gyns remain cautious.

More Than 30 Percent of The World's Food Supply Is Wasted Every Year
Loss and wastage occurs on all steps in the food supply chain. In low-income countries, most loss occurs during production, while in developed countries much food -- about 100 kilograms (220 lb) per person and year -- is wasted at the consumption stage. International agencies claim to cater to the world hunger, yet fully one-third of all food produced globally -- a staggering 1.3 billion tons -- is lost or wasted every year, a study by the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization found.
The Largest Clinical Study On Diabetes Out To Prove Which Type of Diet and Exercise Reigns Supreme In Prevention
What a revolutionary concept--diet, exercise and lifestyle modifications to prevent diabetes. It's only been proven empirically millions of times, but researchers want to narrow down exactly what type of diet and exercise work best to prevent the disease which affects over 370 million people worldwide with increasing frequency every year. Eight EU nations, along with New Zealand, Australia and Canada, will participate in an EU-funded project headed by University of Copenhagen researchers.

'Castrocare' Divides Doctors In Cuba, Brazil
Cuba has been sending doctors abroad for decades to work throughout Latin America and as far away as Africa. So it's not surprising Brazil turned to Cuba when it wanted to import thousands of badly needed doctors. But Brazil's medical establishment is objecting and wants to block the program.
