Doctors Say Those Lists Of 'Foods For Clear Skin' Are Total Bull
We want clear, glowing skin as much as anyone else. The internet and magazines will tell you how to eat your way there with chia seeds, oily fish, mushrooms and complex carbs.  But here’s the problem: It is not possible to directly improve your complexion through diet, according to Jon Hanifin, MD and professor of dermatology at Oregon Health and Science University School of Medicine.  “I don’t know why anybody would be advertising foods to eat for glowing skin,” Hanifin told HuffPost. “I have a feeling that maybe this comes from people trying to sell health supplements.” ...

Touchscreen-using toddlers may sleep less
Conclusion This survey aimed to assess whether touchscreen use in infants and toddlers aged between 6 and 36 months has an impact on the quality of their sleep. Sleep is very important for young children as it has a role in development, and if environmental influences are identified that reduce the quality of sleep, they should be limited. This UK study has strengths in its good sample size and its attempts to control for the effects of other confounding variables – however, these weren't all explicitly listed. While a link between levels of touchscreen use and daily sleep was found, this cross-sectional study is not abl...

Why Prince Harry Sharing His Mental Health Struggles Is So Important
As an American, I think it’s safe to say we’re pretty obsessed with the British royal family. We’re constantly approximating our own domestic alternatives ― is it the Kardashians? ― and follow their every move with nothing short of total adulation. I remember getting up early on a school day just to watch the wedding of William and Kate. It felt like we were just as thrilled for the couple as their actual subjects. And let’s not forget about the popularity of series like The Crown and The Royals, which earn popular and critical support. While William and Kate have managed to secure the image of ...

Scott Walker Moves To Kill A Century-Old Nature Magazine, And Readers Are Furious
WASHINGTON — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) plans to do away with a nearly century-old, state-run nature magazine, sparking outrage among critics who see it as part of an ongoing anti-environment agenda. Walker’s 2017-2019 budget, which he unveiled in February, calls for suspending publication of Wisconsin Natural Resources next year. The magazine, a product of the state Department of Natural Resources, has kept Wisconsinites informed about hunting and fishing opportunities, species conservation, environmental issues and much more since 1919. The Walker administration argues it doesn’t fit...

New Hope for the Saiga Antelope?

How I Became The NPR Math Guy
Since 1995, Stanford mathematician Keith Devlin has intrigued (and occasionally baffled) listeners to NPR’s popular Saturday morning magazine program ‘Weekend Edition’ with Scott Simon, with his discussions of mathematical topics that somehow manage to find their way into the news. It all started by chance (mostly). As a young mathematics graduate student at the University of Bristol in my native England, back at the end of the 1960s, my role models were the mathematicians who had made major mathematical discoveries—mathematical giants such as Leonard Euler, Karl Friedrich Gauss, Pierre De Fermat, a...

My debilitating endometriosis symptoms – Kate ’ s story
Hi, I’m Kate, 39, married with no children. I had always suffered from heavy and painful periods but this had mostly been managed by taking the combined pill. My periods remained heavy and I suffered from some flooding but this was manageable with planning! Approximately 7 years ago my periods became worse and I started to experience more symptoms such as regular and frequent abdominal pain, random bleeding, bloating, very painful intercourse and things just didn’t feel right. Anyway, I went to the Dr’s who straight away suggested that it sounded like I had endometriosis and referred me to a consultant. A...

Here’s What To Read If You’re Sick Of The Stigma Around Mental Illness
In her first memoir, Yiyun Li is a scientist-turned-literary-darling writing about depression, so you’d expect her prose to be methodical and her characterization of the disease concrete. But Dear Friend, from My Life, I Write to You in Your Life isn’t as airless as that. It’s not an empirical study of mental illness, but a collection of very personal observations, a story as poetic and wending as its title. Li was born in Beijing and served in the Chinese military for one year before immigrating to America, an experience that makes its way into the book. Settling in Iowa, she studied immunology before al...
