The Environmental Working Group (http://www.ewg.org/foodnews/) has just updated its list showing pesticide levels in 53 types of produce, and apples – formally No. 4 of their “Dirty Dozen” – now weigh in at No. 1! Researchers at Purdue University in Lafayette, IN, analyzed 51,000 pesticide residue tests done over 10 years (2000-2009) by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Federal Food and Drug Administration. 98% of the apples tested contained pesticides out of over 700 samples. And most of the fruit and veggies under scrutiny had been washed and peeled, in order to represent more realistic eating conditions.Others that made the Dirty Dozen were celery, strawberries...

They are activists, humorists, Holocaust survivers, writers, first ladies, and missionaries. But first and foremost, they are moms. And, in my opinion, some of the best. As a relatively new mom, I could learn a lesson or two from the veterans. So here is a list of my blue-ribbon picks. 1. Erma Bombeck. She was the funniest mother in America, with an uncanny ability to bemuse fellow moms with hilarious twists on cleaning toilets and carpools of whinny kids. For more than 30 years her clippings occupied the most coveted real estate in middle-class homes — the refrigerator — where she’d offer invaluable insight and a dose of comedy amid lost sock...

Some of the findings are interesting. But one finding stood out for me as being a bit sensationalistic. That finding was that pathological gambling — something other studies have consistently pegged in the 0.8% to 2.0% range of adults (see Stucki & Rihs-Middel, 2007) — is more common than alcohol dependence (which studies put in the 3.8% range, see Keyes et al., 2009). Past research has shown that alcohol dependence (also known as alcoholism) is something that occurs in the adult population at twice the rate of pathological gambling. In Welte’s (2011) s...

I’ve lived everywhere from a pint-sized East Village dwelling where I became an expert in throwing drink coasters at mice, to a snowy mountaintop apartment in Maine where I routinely slept in a sweatshirt, hat and fleece pants (ugh). After the horror of sharing a bathroom with 20 people I didn’t know during my freshman and sophomore years, I made it a point, no matter where I was, to either live alone or with a two roommates at the most. Even in Maine, where I would often go entire nights without seeing a soul (except the deer who would sometimes stare creepily through my living room windows), I reasoned that the loneliness was better than dealing with piles of other people’s dirty dishes or toothpaste spit in the bathroom sink.

Bizarrely, both forms of the drug (pro-drug in fact) are converted to the same chemical in the body and so you could get the same efficacy level as esomeprazole simply by taking more of the original omeprazole, which of course is now available as a much cheaper generic since the AZ patent expired.

They’re well known and usually accepted amongst the profession itself, but known to few “outsiders” or even journalists — whose job it is to not only report research findings, but put them into some sort of context. One of those secrets is that most psychology research done in the U.S. is consistently done primarily on college students — specifically, undergraduate students taking a psychology course. It’s been this way for the better part of 50 years. But are undergraduate college students studying at a U.S. university representative of the population in America? In the world? Can we honestly generalize from such un-representative samples and make broad claims about all human behavior (a trai...

I’ve read it, enjoyed it, and would recommend it to anyone who wants to get a good understanding of how mainstream psychiatry is practiced throughout the U.S. today. Psychiatrists spend most of their time listening briefly to their patients, checking on how they’re doing on their medications, and send patients on their way, typically after only 10 or 15 minutes every few weeks. Psychotherapy is mostly done by psychologists and other mental health professionals.

MitchellI recently publicized an interesting map showing that so-called tax havens are not hotbeds of dirty money. A more fundamental question is whether anti-money laundering laws are an effective way of fighting crime — particularly since they substantially undermine privacy. In this new six-minute video, I ask whether it’s time to radically rethink a system that costs billions of dollars each year, forces banks to snoop on their customers, and misallocates law enforcement resources.

He has been fighting the disease for the last 20 months. Swayze was the star of Dirty Dancing, Ghost, and many other film roles. He was only 57 years old. He was no stranger to health issues. He “broke both legs in 1997 while making the film “Letters From a Killer,” and went into rehab for a drinking problem.” In 2000 he was flying a plan when it depressurized and landed in a housing development. His last acting role was as part of A&E’s The Beast. The show took 12 hours and a day and included Swayze doing his own stunts. He said it was exhausting but was happy he was continuing his life’s work of acting. The show was cancelled in June after Swayze found out the cancer had spread in his bo...

The Washington Post published the story of such folks earlier this month. What they hadn’t counted on was a domestic dispute taken to their comments’ section of the online version of the story. The man profiled in the article agreed to have his real name published. In hindsight, this may have not been the wisest idea.

Perhaps that should be the new anti-drug slogan. A new report showed that “90 percent of paper money circulating in U.S. cities contains traces of cocaine.” When I first heard this, I thought, “no way!” Of course, now that I think about it, it makes complete sense. First of all, today very little is done with cash. Drug deals, last I heard, still used cash. So it makes sense that there would be a higher count of cocaine than other germs on money. But lest you think cocaine is the only thing found on bills, think again. The average bill has many different types of debris on it, including dirt, food, or germs. Incidentally, the average bill stays in circulation for 20 months. The most bills with cocaine on them included the $5, $10, $20, ...

If so, here’s a study you  might want to consider. Two reporters living in New York City recently walked around the city for four days wearing flip-flops. They took numerous train trips, walked through Prospect Park, headed out to the bars in West Village, took in a baseball game at Coney Island, waded through the public restrooms at the Coney Island subway station, and even rode the Cyclone, twice. They then turned the flip-flops over to a microbiology lab at EMSL Analytical for testing. The results -  the flip-flops had collected approximately 18,100 bacteria of the five most prevalent varieties, including the deadly Staphylococcus aureus.

The Treatment Advocacy Center is the organization that prefers that anyone who has mental illness get treatment, even if it’s against their will. Think of it as a stodgy old grandfather from the 1800s that might say, “Hitting a child is necessary and good for the child; the more often the better! Teaches them some manners…” Liz details the problems with the survey by TAC of librarians: Are library employees qualified to determine who has serious psychiatric disorders? I doubt it.

We equate morality with higher reasoning and not a base instinct like hunger or the need for shelter. New research out from the University of Toronto suggests that perhaps such thinking is wrong. In the study, the scientists examined facial movements when participants tasted unpleasant liquids and looked at photographs of disgusting objects such as dirty toilets or injuries. They compared these to their facial movements when they were subjected to unfair treatment in a laboratory game. The U of T team found that people make similar facial movements in response to both primitive ...

And trust me, it’s not for the faint of heart…unless you like reading about live roaches, mouse droppings, and inadequate hand washing in a restaurant near you. The cities involved in this report, listed from worst to best, are… Austin, Texas Boston Milwaukee Colorado Springs, Colorado Kansas City, Missouri Pittsburgh Denver Las Vegas Washington, D.C New York Atlanta Portland Baltimore Minneapolis, Minn Chicago St. Louis Seattle Philadelphia San Francisco Tucson, Ariz Many will argue that the results are only a snapshot of what’s going at a restaurant at a specific point of time, and that with each city have dif...
