| Examining grandparents in the U.S. Posted: 05 Sep 2014 09:27 AM PDT Grandparents are an important source of both financial and non-financial support for families. But, surprisingly little is known about this group. Most research is limited to those grandparents who live with their grandchildren, ignoring the vast majority of those who don't. Researchers have now used census data from 2009 to take a closer look at this growing population.  |
| Sugar substitutes not so super sweet after all Posted: 05 Sep 2014 06:08 AM PDT The taste of common sugar substitutes is often described as being much more intense than sugar, but participants in a recent study indicated that these non-nutritive sugar substitutes are no sweeter than the real thing, according to food scientists.  |
| No association found between wearing bra, breast cancer Posted: 05 Sep 2014 06:06 AM PDT A population-based case-control study found no association between bra wearing and increased breast cancer risk among postmenopausal women. "There have been some concerns that one of the reasons why breast cancer may be more common in developed countries compared with developing countries is differences in bra-wearing patterns," said one investigator. "Given how common bra wearing is, we thought this was an important question to address."  |
| Early school testing no indication of later success Posted: 05 Sep 2014 06:04 AM PDT Tests and assessments carried out at school are often seen as a way of predicting how well a child will do later on in life. However, new research suggests that how well a child is doing at one point is no guarantee of later success or difficulty.  |
| Fast-paced TV shows don't harm preschoolers' concentration Posted: 05 Sep 2014 06:04 AM PDT Watching fast-paced television programs does not adversely affect young children's ability to concentrate.  |
| Soy supplementation adversely effects expression of breast cancer-related genes Posted: 04 Sep 2014 03:37 PM PDT Soy supplementation alters expression of genes associated with breast cancer, raising concerns that soy could have adverse effects in breast cancer, according to a new study.  |
| Posted: 04 Sep 2014 07:33 AM PDT Normal-weight nutrition and exercise counselors report feeling significantly more successful in getting their obese patients to lose weight than those who are overweight or obese, a study shows. The findings suggest that patients may be more receptive to those who "practice what they preach."  |
| Can sleep loss affect your brain size? Posted: 03 Sep 2014 01:16 PM PDT Sleep difficulties may be linked to faster rates of decline in brain volume, according to a study. "It is not yet known whether poor sleep quality is a cause or consequence of changes in brain structure," said a study author. "There are effective treatments for sleep problems, so future research needs to test whether improving people's quality of sleep could slow the rate of brain volume loss. If that is the case, improving people's sleep habits could be an important way to improve brain health."  |
| Drug therapies, parent training help children with ADHD, severe aggression Posted: 03 Sep 2014 09:17 AM PDT Prescribing both a stimulant and an antipsychotic drug to children with physical aggression and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), along with teaching parents to use behavior management techniques, reduces aggressive and serious behavioral problems in children, according to a study.  |
