Drinking more than one soft drink daily -- whether it's regular or diet -- may be associated with an increase in the risk factors for heart disease, Framingham researchers reported in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. "We were struck by the fact that it didn't matter whether it was a diet or regular soda that participants consumed, the association with increased risk was present,"said the senior author. Chemicals From Recycled Cardboard May Contaminate Take-out Food, Resea
Diisobutyl Phthalate has been found in recycled cardboard sometimes used in food packaging. With take out pizzas, hot food is placed inside the cardboard box, and so there is a high chance that the food will be exposed to any volatile chemicals in the cardboard such as plasticizers as they will enter the headspace of the box, researchers argue. The phthalates (plasticizers) are present because the containers were made from pulp that contained at least some recycled paper and cardboard. Notebook Makers Bet Convertibles Will Soar Where Tablets Fall Short

Water is one of the most crucial provisions astronauts need to live and work in space, whether orbiting Earth, working at a lunar base or traveling to Mars. The Water Processor Assembly developed by the Marshall Center will improve water recycling on the International Space Station. Dust-enshrouded Star Looks Similar To Our Sun
Astronomers report evidence of cosmic collisions surrounding a star similar to the sun, approximately 300 light years from Earth. The colliding objects could range in size from the largest asteroids to planets the size of Earth and Mars; the latter type of collision early in the history of our solar system may have produced the Earth's moon, along with huge amounts of interplanetary dusty debris. The discovery is published July 21 in Nature. New method fixes broken proteins to treat genetic diseases
Researchers have demonstrated how it could be possible to treat genetic diseases by enhancing the natural ability of cells to restore their own mutant proteins. In particular, they found that drugs called proteosome inhibitors could provide one way of manipulating cells into producing more of a so-called chaperone protein, named Hsp70, which helps amino acid chains fold into their proper protein form. Imaging techniques may help predict response to head and neck cancer t
