NYT –There’s an underlying assumption here about what adults can control, and about how children can be controlled, if only their parents would take the trouble, or make and enforce healthy rules for the whole family, or read the nutritional information on the back of the cereal box.

NYT – Americans spend over 90 percent of their lives indoors. Until recently, little was known about how this was impacting us.

PI-Some of the water produced as the body consumes fat exits in the usual way, through your urine and sweat.

IN FACT, take a gander at the comment below: In a study published in January 2015 in The New England Journal of Medicine, […]
Eliminating meat from a terrible diet doesn’t really make it any healthier, according to a study released today in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

A Dutch scientist found two baby earthworms wriggling around in soil that is supposed to replicate the surface of Mars. But we’re still pretty far away from gardening on the red planet. For now, scientists don’t have access to real Martian soil. So Wieger Wamelink, biologist at Wageningen University, bought a simulation from NASA at […]
