#Eating Fish During Pregnancy May Lower Anxiety Eating at least some fish during pregnancy may lower women's risk of anxiety a new study suggests.

While there was some suggestion that tomatoes might also be associated with a reduced risk of Parkinson's it was not clear Searles Nielsen said.

The study concluded Higher consumption of eggs (up to one egg per day) is associated not with increased risk of coronary heart disease or stroke.
The increased risk of coronary heart disease among diabetic patients and reduced risk of hemorrhagic stroke associated with higher egg consumption in subgroup analyses warrant further studies.
Health authorities were warning the public against eating eggs for fear that they were a major cause of high cholesterol levels the bad kind low-density lipoprotein known as LDL and increased risk of heart disease.
Yes increased blood cholesterol levels can raise the risk of heart disease. Eggs are high in dietary cholesterol.
but they also contain saturated fat an even more significant culprit in heart-disease risk. The major determinant of plasma LDL level is saturated fatsaid Alice Lichtenstein professor of nutrition science and policy at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University.
The amount that one egg a day raises cholesterol in the blood is extremely small so small in fact that the increase in risk in heart disease related to this change in serum cholesterol could never be detected in any kind of study said Walter Willett professor of epidemiology and nutrition
#Elephants Vanish in Congo Reserve The Okapi Faunal Reserve was thought to be a safe haven for forest elephants in the otherwise conflict-stricken eastern region of the Democratic Republic of congo.
Before a civil war broke out in the region in the late 1990s the WCS counted about 6800 forest elephants in the reserve.
In 2007 after the war officially ended the WCS's elephant count was down to 2700.

#Forests Recover Quickly After Bark beetles Attack SAN FRANCISCO A forest ravaged by the red hand of death also known as a bark beetle attack recovers quickly with little ecosystem damage scientists said here today (Dec 9) at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union.
The potential effects of massive tree die offs in Western forests have been a concern since a sudden uptick in bark beetle attacks in the late 1990s.
Forests look awful after a beetle attack but the wound isn't as terrible as it looks according to two separate studies by researchers from the University of Wyoming and the U s. Forest Service (USFS.
Even though the bark beetle visual impact is really impressive and striking there's many things going on in that forest that makes it resilient to the attack
The shape and size of the leg suggest the beast was a fast runner a skill that may have helped it flee predators like lions sabre-tooth cats Simpson
Their biggest threats are habitat loss and hunting by humans either for trade or to protect livestock.
Scientists think these might act as sun protection like football players painting black marks under their eyes.
Male giraffes use their horns to playfully fight with one another. They also spar by swinging their heads at one another
During the day they rest play and sometimes fight in lakes rivers and swamps. They get down to business at night grazing on land for hours at a time.

Their main threats are illegal poaching for their meat and canine teeth which are made of ivory and the loss of freshwater habitats throughout Africa.
They often live in groups known as mobs troops or courts which can range in size from 10 to more than 100 kangaroos.
When a kangaroo senses danger it alerts others by loudly thumping its feet on the ground.
Least concern There are no major threats for these kangaroo species although they may be affected by land development loss of habitat wildfires and hunting.
Though they are subject to threats particularly habitat encroachment and fragmentation as well as disease fire drought and road deaths the koala is considered a species of least concern by the IUCN because of its comparatively large population and wide distribution.
which makes establishing protection difficult. In April 2012 the Australian government listed koalas as a threatened species facing threats from both urban expansion and climate change.

Ghostwritten articles compromised science In the Georgia pacific asbestos case the court documents suggest that the company hired experts who had conflicts of interest specifically to write articles downplaying the cancer risk posed by asbestos
and yet those conflicts of interest were disclosed not by the authors when they submitted the studies for publication.
As Andrias put it the company should not be allowed to use its experts'conclusions as a sword by seeding the scientific literature with (Georgia pacific)- funded studies
while at the same time using the privilege as a shield...In this case it's no exaggeration to say that the counterfeit science in question poses a potentially life-threatening hazard to people exposed to asbestos
People with serious conflicts of interest who have a financial stake or receive direct payments from a company have no business publishing in scientific journals without clear and full disclosure of the conflict especially
when the results pertain directly to an assessment of the safety of one of the company's products.

and attacks on pets and humans are incredibly rare. A new documentary called EXPOSED: USDA's Secret War on Wildlife highlights the wanton and brutal killing ways of an agency called Wildlife Services
and it is well worth your time to watch it and to read the summary of this film provided by the organization Predator Defense.
The secret war on wildlife refers to and results from the U s. Department of agriculture (USDA)' s Wildlife Services'wanton assault on numerous species of animals.
In EXPOSED three former federal agents and a Congressman blow the whistle on Wildlife Services'program and expose the government's secret war on wildlife for what it really is:
A repugnant uncontrolled and brutal attack on a plethora of different species. EXPOSED is one of the most disturbing films
I have seen ever. Wildlife Services could easily be called Murder Inc. Their horrific intentional and secret slaughter of millions of animals in the name of coexistence is appalling.
But whether we hoist the gun or draw the bowstring or simply acknowledge the facts of nature that require these things to be done it's time to shake off sentimentality
I realized that the growing field of compassionate conservation could surely come to the rescue of at least some of these unwanted animal beings because of its emphasis on the well-being of individual animals.
