...omega-3 pills and fish oils can advertise the fat's heart benefits. If the FDA agrees, omega-3 will join a select group of nutrients, including psyllium, soy and whole oats, that is cleared for similar health claims. The agency was keeping mum in advance about which way it was leaning, but the evidence provided some clues about how it might rule...
...overdose of vitamin A, which can in turn cause birth defects. Some nutritionists speculate that omega-6 fatty acids--found in corn and many other vegetable oils--may limit the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. But here again, the evidence is incomplete. "We have a long way to go before we understand the minimal amount of omega-3 needed by the body and whether the ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 is critical," says Alice Lichtenstein, a professor of nutrition at Tufts University School of Medicine...
...Hispanic girls to draw conclusions about these groups. Herman-Giddens agrees: "We in the public health and medical community really need to get data on American girls of all racial and ethnic groups."

Meanwhile, they're learning by doing. "We're still scratching our heads trying to figure out where the songs go. We don't really want to ask anybody...
...gratuitous act on my part. We really are talking about someone who is incredibly power hungry. Racist, really. And what do those kinds of people do? They treat human life so lightly. I wanted to be accurate in that sense. My editor was shocked by the way the character was killed, which was very dismissive. That was entirely deliberate. That is how people die in those situations. It was just like, You're in my way and you're going to die. It's the first time I cried during the writing of a book, because I didn't want...
