Defying the doom-and-gloom-sayers, Americans are living longer and healthier each year, according to data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. According to the report, a product of the CDC's National Center for Health and Statistics, a child born in 2005 in the U.S. can expect to live 78 years -- the highest life expectancy to date. Life expectancy was based on age at death for 99% of deaths recorded in 2005 in the U.S.

A Federal Judge last week said that New York City was wrong to make fast food restaurants list calories on their menu boards.
The judge did not weigh in on whether the law was an effective way to trim down New Yorkers, but he found that it conflicted with federal law, which already regulates the posting of nutritional information. The awkwardly written law only applied to fast food restaurants, which already voluntarily posted nutrition information. It was never enforced because of pending legal questions.
In September, this daily opportunity to listen in on ACSH staffers' conversations will be e-mailed to donors each morning. It will be available to the general public the next day.

The drop in smoking rates is not to blame for the alarming obesity rates in the U.S., according to a study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Smoking cigarettes is the number one cause of preventable death and therefore there have been many anti-smoking campaigns aimed at getting people to quit. Smoking is also associated with lower weight or weight loss, whereas quitting smoking is associated with higher weight or weight gain.
Preliminary data from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene shows that HIV infection is on the rise among young gay and bisexual men in the city. Over the past six years, HIV diagnoses increased by 33% in such men under the age of thirty, from 372 in 2001 to 500 in 2006. Most shocking was that for gay and bisexual males ages thirteen to nineteen, diagnoses increased by 50%, from thirty-four in 2001 to sixty-eight in 2006.
