...different populations. For instance, a variant gene called apolipoprotein E4 seems to increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease if you are Caucasian or Japanese but not if you are a black African. It's important to know not only the SNPs but also their context to understand "who will respond and who will not respond," says Ordovas...
...understand exploding obesity rates among the very young, researchers are looking into the critical period between breast or bottle and the school lunchroom, when lifelong food habits take shape. During the first year of life, experts say, babies self-regulate how much they eat; infants who aren't hungry will refuse another swallow, no matter how much parents try to feed them. But in the second year, babies, like adults, begin responding less to hunger pangs and more to social cues: Is Mommy giving me more? Has everyone else at the table had seconds?

...With a whip! That's the most horrific thing you can imagine. She's the prime example of, You can't forgive, but you can choose to forget.

A lot of these abusive mothers were abused. I believe that if this woman who was beaten with a whip could work it out, most women could unless your mother took a bullet and killed...
Medical care can be a gamble--and patients often don't understand the odds. University of California researchers aim to change that, with an interactive Web-based tool that they are calling the roulette wheel. This color-coded visual model uses a computer algorithm to help patients and their doctors assess the possible outcomes of different treatments. Take the prostate-specific-antigen (PSA) test for prostate cancer, for example. The wheel for PSA screening shows a typical patient the potential harm (incontinence, impotence, death) or benefit (no symptoms) that could result from treatment following a PSA test in which high...
...will have begun to understand that Nouvel's buildings can be hard to pin down. His name is one variant of the French word for new, and he does his best to live up to it. He likes to upend old notions of inside and out, solid and porous, to say nothing of where windows should be or how comfortable you should feel about standing on one over a 60-ft. drop. What Nouvel is doing with his arms over his head is making a little joke about floating in space, but he looks more as though he were about...
