6 reasons children need to play outside
Here’s something really simple you can do to improve your child’s chance of future health and success: make sure he spends plenty of time playing outside. There are many ways in which this generation’s childhood is different from that of the last generation, but one of the most abrupt contrasts is the degree to which it is being spent indoors. There are lots of reasons, including the marked increase in time spent interacting with electronic devices, the emphasis on scheduled activities and achievements, concerns about sun exposure — and, for many families, the lack of safe outdoor places to play. It’s not just ch...

Last Tuesday, Riverside County Superior Court Judge Daniel Ottolia invalidated the law ...

Chondroitin and melanoma: How worried should you be?
Follow me on Twitter @RobShmerling Chondroitin sulfate is among the most popular supplements in the world. It’s often taken in combination with glucosamine for joint disease — some take it for prevention, others to treat pain. And yet, evidence that it actually works at all is limited at best. One review of the evidence suggested that of the few studies of chondroitin that were positive, nearly all were funded by makers of the supplement. Despite this, millions of people take it, many of my patients swear by it, and the lack of evidence doesn’t seem to be much of a concern to them. A frequent comment I hear is: “We...

What is the birthmark in “Ready Player One?”
  “Ready Player One,” Steven Spielberg’s take on our pop- and video-game obsessed culture, features something rarely seen in movies:  A heroic character with a facial birthmark.  Usually, birthmarks are used in movies toID villains.  “The Phantom of the Opera” is a classic example of a benign birthmark used as a sign of/reason for evil.  Yet Art3mis / Samantha, the kickass video-playing rebel, has a large red blotch over her forehead, temple and eye visible in both real life and on eventually her avatar.  FYI, actress Olivia Cooke was not born with a scarlet spot, the mar...
