To curb the childhood-obesity epidemic, health experts have long urged parents to make healthy changes to their family's lifestyle — such as eating nutritiously, reducing TV time, exercising and getting a good night's sleep.
Individually, these behaviors have been linked to a lower risk of obesity in kids, but researchers at Ohio State University were interested in learning whether their effect might be cumulative — that is, whether families who adopted not just one but two or more of these behaviors could reduce their children's risk of obesity even further. |

 LOS ANGELES, Feb 4 — Pioneering consumer advocate Ralph Nader says the US government’s auto-safety watchdog coddled Toyota in dealing with problems leading to a worldwide vehicle recall, and he urged President Barack Obama to strengthen the agency. Nader, who gained prominence in the 1960s as author of the scathing auto industry expose “Unsafe at Any Speed,” said the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA, failed to hold Toyota Motor Corp’s feet to the fire. |

A report released last week by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that young people spend more hours on the computer, in front of the television, playing video games, texting and listening to music than an average adult spends full-time at work. |

"We see a highly frugal consumer being thoughtful and cautious in the way they spend and the way they incur debt" for at least the first half of 2010, says Richard Jaffe, a managing director at Stifel Nicolaus & Co. |

Last updated at 4:47 PM on 22nd January 2010 Tens of thousands of patients have been ordered to stop taking a popular fat-busting drug suspected of raising the risk of heart attacks and stroke.
The European Medicines Agency last night suspended the licence of the drug Reductil, which was taken by 86,000 Britons last year.
The safety watchdog fears it could threaten the health of the overweight and obese - although it says any side-effects should not be fatal.
However, some 17 deaths have been linked to the drug in Britain since 2001 - six of which were caused by heart attacks and strokes. |
