- Chubby Gets a Second --New York Times: Looks like a few extra pounds might do us some good after all.
- Picky Eating Is Genetic--Mother Talkers: One of my favorite sites, Mother Talkers, takes a look at the claim that picky eating may be genetic. (So my son isn't just being difficult? Hmm......)
- Are You Making These Breast Mistakes?--More: Fresh on the heels of my own call from the OB/GYN telling me I need a mammogram redo, because of "unclear" results, this article caught my eye.All women over 40 (ok, even those younger) should take breast health seriously. Here's some help.
- Goal-driven achievers less prone to Alzheimer’s--MSNBC: Since I'm one of those goal-driven types, I was glad to read this one.
