Study: No Link Between Mercury in Fish, Heart Disease

March 23, 2011 -- Fish lovers trying to stay heart-healthy can mostly relax about the mercury in fish, according to a new study.

Mercury exposure from eating fish, linked in some previous research to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, does not appear to boost heart disease risk, the new study suggests.

“We didn't see any evidence that higher levels of mercury were linked to higher cardiovascular harm," says researcher Dariush Mozaffarian, MD, DrPH, an associate professor of medicine and epidemiology at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston.



Global Currency War: How to Keep the "Race to the Bottom" From Stealing Our Future - Money Morning

When Brazil Finance Minister Guido Mantega recently warned of a "currency war that is turning into a trade war," he wasn't far off the mark - at least as far as Latin America is concerned.

U.S. Companies Spending Record-High Cash Piles On Everything But Jobs

U.S. companies have started to spend their record high piles of cash, but most won't be using it to boost hiring.

Since the credit crisis, U.S. companies have collected about $940 billion in cash. Per-share profit surged 36% in 2010, the biggest jump since 1988, and companies cut capital expenditures 26% in 2009 to compensate for the ailing economy.


Shuttle LIFE: About the Launch

The Planetary Society developed LIFE – Living Interplanetary Flight Experiment – to investigate the transpermia hypothesis, the idea that a living organism might survive a journey through space to Earth inside a meteorite. Organic molecules have been found in meteorites, so is it possible for a living organism to make the trip from somewhere like Mars?

The LIFE module was designed to fly aboard Russia’s Phobos Sample Return mission, slated to launch in fall 2011. Phobos LIFE has been made possible through the generous support of Planetary Society members. For the Phobos mission, a selection of well-known microorganisms are packed into miniature sample tubes, that in turn are packed into a nearly indestructible titanium capsule that looks like a small hockey puck.

U.S. Death Rate Hits Record Low, Apr 02, 2011

Foods for Lower Cholesterol and Heart Health

Could you lower cholesterol levels with a bowl of oatmeal in the morning and a handful of nuts in the afternoon? It's certainly possible.

"Dietary changes can have powerful effects on cholesterol levels," says Edgar R. Miller III, MD, PhD, associate professor of medicine and epidemiology at Johns Hopkins University. That's true even if you don't lose weight or exercise more, he says -- although obviously it's better to do those as well.

Hidden Inflation: Why Prices Are Rising Faster Than You Think - Money Morning

Rising prices are hitting U.S. consumers a lot harder than the U.S. Federal Reserve - or the U.S. government - would have us believe. The government-issued consumer price index (CPI) for January showed that "core inflation" - which includes prices for all items except food and energy - was up only 1% from the same month the year before.
