| Being bilingual wards off symptoms of dementia Posted: 29 Mar 2012 09:46 AM PDT New research explains how speaking more than one language may translate to better mental health.

| Spring, heat mean start of ozone warnings Posted: 29 Mar 2012 07:08 AM PDT Ozone, the prevalent gas found in air pollution, and mostly experienced from March to October, can trigger severe violent breathing attacks in many people, particularly children and seniors, says a lung expert. |
| In immersion foreign language learning, adults attain, retain native speaker brain pattern Posted: 28 Mar 2012 02:22 PM PDT In a series of studies, researchers demonstrate that the kind of exposure you have to a foreign language can determine whether you achieve native-language brain processing, and that learning under immersion conditions may be more effective in reaching this goal than typical classroom training. But they also show that the brain consolidates knowledge of the foreign language as time goes on. |
| More than half of all cancer is preventable, experts say Posted: 28 Mar 2012 12:44 PM PDT More than half of all cancer is preventable, and society has the knowledge to act on this information today, according to health researchers. Investigators now outline obstacles they say stand in the way of making a huge dent in the cancer burden in the United States and around the world. |
| Consumers misunderstand 'cruelty-free' labeled products Posted: 28 Mar 2012 11:28 AM PDT Experts believe a legal definition for what constitutes "cruelty-free" labeled products should be determined and manufacturers should be required to abide by the legal use of the label. |
| Fish oil added to yogurt may help consumers meet daily nutritional requirements Posted: 28 Mar 2012 09:28 AM PDT Many consumers want to increase their intake of heart-healthy n-3 fatty acids, found naturally in fish and fish products, but find it difficult to consume the levels recommended by the American Heart Association. Scientists have now demonstrated that it may be possible to achieve the suggested daily intake in a single serving of a savory-flavored yogurt, providing an easily incorporated dietary source for these valuable fatty acids. |
| Parsing the Pill's impact on women's wages Posted: 27 Mar 2012 09:48 AM PDT About one-third of women's wage gains through the 1990s are due to the availability of oral contraceptives, according to a new study that's the first to quantify the Pill's impact on women's labor market advances. |
