How does one get busy college students to make healthy food choices? Is it enough to provide nutrition label information, and where should such information be placed? A new study provides some clues, but from a health awareness standpoint the results are somewhat disappointing.

Although many in the scientific and medical community were nervous when Andrew Wakefield's movie was released, we can all relax now. His slogan -- “The film that they don’t want you to see” -- seems to have backfired because ... virtually no one went to see it. Only 19,570 tickets sold and flimsy flick grossed just over $150,000 -- chump change in Hollywood.

Joe Biden has good intentions, and it's easy to sympathize with the Vice President's personal pain and frustration. However, threatening and pointing fingers at the scientific community is often counterproductive. If Dick Cheney had similarly threatened to pull funding from scientists, how would the public and media have reacted?

If you get goose bumps every time you hear the sound of nails on a chalkboard, you aren't alone. But scientists say it's not the high-pitch tone that makes us cringe, as previously thought.

Golden Rice, a vitamin-fortified product, is clearly needed by millions of poor children, which shows that environmental groups opposed to it such as Greenpeace are in a war on developing nations. They are involved in what Nobel Laureate Sir Richard Roberts calls a "crime against humanity."

Dr. Alex Berezow joined ACSH as Senior Fellow of Biomedical Science in May 2016.

Obesity is known to raise a woman's risk of developing breast cancer, and in some cases that cancer can recur even after successful treatment. An investigation will examine whether weight loss in obese women can decrease the rate of such recurrences.

Would you douse a scalpel in alcohol and cut yourself open just for the purpose of implanting a piece of technology under your skin? Probably not, but there is a community of people -- "biohackers" -- who do just that. And they may be important to the future of science and technology.

Five percent of children have food allergies. And, although they can be managed in schools over the academic year, what about when those kids go to camp? It's an important consideration as well, because a simple mixup of lunches can produce dangerous health consequences.

A recent paper in JAMA Internal Medicine was essentially little more than a hit piece on physicians. The authors claim that doctors will write prescriptions for more expensive drugs if they attend a seminar about that drug, and get a cheap meal. But the only thing cheap here is the standards of the authors. Their paper is a travesty.
