Abortion Does Not Raise Risk Of Depression, According To New Study
Claims that terminating an unwanted first pregnancy raises the risk of depression is called into question in a study published online by the British Medical Journal.

Our ability to tinker with nature has outstripped our ability to regulate what we create, says Yves Tiberghien, a political scientist who specializes in global regulatory mechanisms for technology and trade. Consider that almost 70 per cent of the products we buy at the grocery store contain genetically engineered food. Yet we don't know their long-term impact on our health, the environment, or how they may tip the future balance of power in the global economy.

Eat Less To Live Longer: Calorie Restriction Linked To Long Healthy Li
For nearly 70 years scientists have known that caloric restriction prolongs life. In everything from yeast to primates, a significant decrease in calories can extend lifespan by as much as one-third. But getting under the hood of the molecular machinery that drives this longevity has remained elusive. Researchers have now discovered two genes in mammalian cells that act as gatekeepers for cellular longevity. When cells experience certain kinds of stress, such as caloric restriction, these genes rev up and help protect cells from diseases of aging.
