| Holiday spices often abused for cheap highs, says toxicologist Posted: 17 Dec 2012 04:05 PM PST Cinnamon, nutmeg and even marshmallows are being intentionally abused in risky behavior, says a toxicologist. Once folly for teenagers, pre-teens are now copying what they see from Internet videos with dangerous results.  |
| Two cups of milk a day ideal for children's health, new research shows Posted: 17 Dec 2012 12:27 PM PST New research has answered one of the most common questions parents ask their doctors: How much milk should I be giving my children? The answer is two cups per day.  |
| Chronic worriers at higher risk for PTSD, research finds Posted: 17 Dec 2012 11:07 AM PST People who worry constantly are at greater risk for post-traumatic stress disorder, according to new research.  |
| Combo-snacks of cheese and vegetables cut kids calories, study suggests Posted: 17 Dec 2012 11:06 AM PST A new study finds that serving children combined snacks of vegetables and cheese led them to eat 72 percent fewer calories -- and be just as satisfied as those who were served only potato chips.  |
| Perceived stress may predict future coronary heart disease risk Posted: 17 Dec 2012 09:14 AM PST Are you stressed? Results of a new meta-analysis of six studies involving nearly 120,000 people indicate that the answer to that question may help predict one's risk of incident coronary heart disease (CHD) or death from CHD.  |
| Who likes bling? The answer relates to social status Posted: 17 Dec 2012 09:13 AM PST A desire for expensive, high-status goods is related to feelings of social status -- which helps explain why minorities are often attracted to bling, a new study suggests. Previous research had shown that racial minorities spend a larger portion of their incomes than do whites on conspicuous consumption -- buying products that suggest high status. But a new study showed that whites could be induced to crave expensive, high-status products if they imagined themselves in a low-status position. These findings cast doubt on the notion that urban minorities have developed a corrosive "bling culture" that is unique to them.  |
| Student-athletes could lose eligibility, scholarships with tweet missteps Posted: 17 Dec 2012 06:16 AM PST With a single social-media misstep, student-athletes could lose athletic eligibility or a scholarship. But that's not stopping them from using Twitter -- sometimes even during games, when they may see harsh criticism of their performances from fans, according to a new study.  |
| The person inside the present: Narcissists buy to big themselves up Posted: 17 Dec 2012 06:12 AM PST Christmas is around the corner and many of us will be thinking of what to buy our loved ones (or ourselves) this festive holiday.  |
