June 30, 2000 -- Eating more meat and dairy products has been linked to a higher rate of type 1 diabetes (also known as
juvenile diabetes), and having a diet heavy in plant products -- especially cereals -- was tied to less type 1 diabetes, a recent study suggests. So does this mean that serving oatmeal instead of bacon cheeseburgers will prevent your child from getting diabetes?

Two recent studies in the mainstream scientific literature suggest that early music training and the popular herb Ginkgo biloba have benefits for human memory.
The American Heart Association is recommending, in a science advisory issued here during its 71st scientific sessions, an increased dietary intake of vitamin B6, B12 and folic acid to meet the RDAs for individuals with elevated homocysteine levels and a history of heart disease. Plasma levels of these vitamins are inversely related to levels of homocysteine.

Hot on the heels of news from a meeting of the American Heart Association in Dallas that nuts were good for keeping the heart pumping regularly, scientists from the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts, published more proof.
A new study that says smoking marijuana is a hazy and impractical way to treat glaucoma is the latest twist to the medical marijuana debate. The study, by ophthalmologist Keith Green at the Medical College of Georgia, found the medical benefits of smoking marijuana are slight and relief is temporary. "Glaucoma is a 24-hour-a-day disease, 365 days-a-year disease and you cannot get away from it," he said.
