Tea and cancer? Depends how hot - Los Angeles Times
Teaming up with investigators from the U.S., England, France and Sweden, the researchers calculated that people who said they drank "hot" tea (149 to 156 degrees Fahrenheit) were more than twice as likely to develop esophageal cancer as people who said they drank the beverage "warm" or "lukewarm" (less than 140 degrees). Those who said they took their tea "very hot" (at least 158 degrees) were more than eight times as likely to get esophageal cancer, according to the study, published online Thursday in BMJ, formerly the British Medical Journal.

The Most Popular of Popular Media
A theory on popular media: the more popular it is, the less the information it provides bears any semblance to accuracy, truth, or scientific fact.

As the audience size grows - meaning that any given topic is going to be far outside the specialty knowledge of nearly all of the audience members - any urge to accuracy is completely subsumed by the need for do and say things that will keep that audience's fleeting attention.

It was a nightmare scenario: A scientist accidentally pricked her finger with a needle used to inject the deadly Ebola virus into lab mice. Within hours, members of a tightly bound, yet far-flung community of virologists, biologists and others were tensely gathered in a trans-Atlantic telephone conference trying to map out a way to save her life.

Genomics, Evolution, and Pseudoscience: Parents: ADHD drugs don't work
The results of a scientific study reported this past week showed that long-term use of drugs to children with ADHD doesn't provide any benefit over behavioral therapy. Not only that, but children who took medication ended up, on average, one inch shorter than children who didn't. That's right: ADHD drugs stunt children's growth.

Baby wash, shampoo contains cancer-causing chemicals, group says -- chicagotribune.com
More than half the baby shampoo, lotions and other infant-care products analyzed by a health advocacy group were found to contain trace amounts of two chemicals that are believed to cause cancer....Some of the biggest names on the market, including Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo and Baby Magic lotion, tested positive for 1,4-dioxane or formaldehyde or both, the non-profit Campaign for Safe Cosmetics reported....The chemicals, both characterized as probable carcinogens by the Environmental Protection Agency, are not added intentionally to products and appear to be byproducts of the manufacturing process.

Obama's public health insurance idea draws fire | Politics | Reuters
A big new public health insurance program envisioned by President Barack Obama is shaping up as one of the most contentious issues in his drive to overhaul the U.S. healthcare system....And conservative policy experts are trying to shape the debate by calling such a move a step toward "socialized medicine.

I'm afraid that's what we need. Private insurance doesn't work--just ask the 47 plus million uninsured. But that will also lead to some form of limits or control or prices will continue to be driven up. For many, it becomes an all or nothing situation--social health insurance for all or leave 47 plus million Americans without insurance. That number is surely growing due to high unemployment and astronomical COBRA costs. The system is broken for MANY people. We have socialize medical insurance for seniors (Medicare). Why do we have medicare? I suspect because insurance companies couldn't cover the costs of their aging customers, so government was called to bail the health insurers out. So if you get to 65, you're safe (to a degree) because of medicare. Why can't I have the same safety net as non-senior person?
