Science Daily: Can Acupuncture Improve Your Fertility?

Getting pregnant with her first child was difficult, but when Rebecca Killmeyer of Charlottesville, Va. experienced a miscarriage during her second pregnancy, she wasn't sure if she would ever have another baby. When she decided to enter a study testing the impact of acupuncture on women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) at the University of Virginia Health System, she came out with a
miracle. "To our great surprise we were blessed with a third pregnancy during the PCOS study," said Killmeyer. "I'm absolutely certain the acupuncture treatments helped me ovulate regularly, which allowed me to become pregnant." Lisa Pastore, assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at UVA Health System and principle researcher of the study, was hoping for this.

NY Times: Food Additive MSG Linked to Obesity in New Study

Researchers studied 752 men and women in three villages in northern and
southern China where most people use little commercially processed food,
but where about 80 percent of people add MSG in cooking. After controlling
for body mass index, smoking, physical activity and almost two dozen
measures of daily nutrient intake, they found that the one-third of people
who used the most MSG were almost three times as likely to be overweight
— that is, to have a body mass index over 25 — as those who used none.

NY Times: For the Brain, Remembering is Like Doing

Scientists have for the first time recorded individual brain cells in the act of
summoning spontaneous memory, revealing not only where a remembered
experience is registered but also, in part, how the brain is able to recreate
it. The recordings demonstrate that these spontaneous memories reside in
some of the same neurons that fired most furiously when the recalled
event had been experienced. Researchers had long theorized as much but
until now had only indirect evidence. Experts said the study had all but
closed the case: For the brain, remembering is a lot like doing (at least in
the short term, as the research says nothing about distant memories).

Alternet: Is Your Breakfast Cereal Loaded with Spermicides?

Will it be possible to contain and segregate such crops, fruit and seed, in
order to avoid a biological Chernobyl? Is there any guarantee that these
products won't accidentally end up at the supermarket? And how can we
keep their pollen from fertilizing other fields and reproducing out of control?
"One single mistake from a biotechnology company and we'll be having
someone else's prescription medicine for breakfast in our cereal," warns
Larry Bohlen, spokesman for Friends of the Earth, an ecology organization.
