By Ana-Marija Dolaskie — Mar 23, 2016
An analysis of 87 studies squashed the notion that moderate consumption of alcohol (including wine) has any benefit to longevity. This comes after earlier research seemed to indicate the opposite. We wish science would make up its mind.

By Ruth Kava — Mar 22, 2016
Heavy smokers and ex-smokers are at increased risk of lung cancer. Low-dose computed tomography screening can detect tumors at an early stage. But how often should a smoking-compromised person undergo this? A new study suggests that for those who are negative at the first LCDT test, once may be enough.

By ACSH Staff — Mar 22, 2016
Unfortunately for little heads, in half of the country we are witnessing a lice resurgence, with a new strain of the irritating bug making the scene. And these critters have staying power, mainly, because they evolved by becoming immune to typical over-the-counter medicines commonly used over the last couple decades.
