Foam cot mattresses could explain some cot deaths
BABY vomit soaking into foam mattresses might help explain some cot deaths. Bacteria linked to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) seem to thrive in vomit-soaked polyurethane foam, especially if the babies drink formula rather than breast milk. Experiments at De Montfort University in Leicester also... view more... (2002-04-17)
Evidence that up to 10 percent of human genome may have changed very recently revealed by CU researchers
A Cornell study of genome sequences in African-Americans, European-Americans and Chinese suggests that natural selection has caused as much as 10 percent of the human genome to change in some populations in the last 15,000 to 100,000 years, when people began migrating from Africa. view more (2007-07-12)

SRMs track fire retardants in humans and environment
If only the flame retardant chemicals routinely added to consumer products from carpets to cell phones just did their job and nothing more. Health officials, however, are concerned that one class of these chemicals called polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs), may be doing more than reducing fire-related injuries and property damage. view more (2007-08-20)
Breastfeeding for less than 3 months may affect child's intelligence
Breastfeeding for less than 3 months may affect a child's intellectual development, finds research in the Archives of Disease in Childhood.
