"When many cures are offered for a disease, it means the disease is not curable" -Anton Chekhov
''Once you tell people there's a cure for something, the more likely they are to pressure doctors to prescribe it.'' -Robert Ehrlich, drug advertising executive.

Growing Children: The latest research in the obesity wars says that children are getting fatter and their clothing sizes prove it. Although parents might not notice it:
Dr. Moore of McGill University said parents may not have noticed how much their children's waistlines are burgeoning because clothing manufacturers have been practising a little numeric illusion with clothing sizes.
'What used to be a size 7 is now a size 6. And a 40-inch waist on pants is actually bigger.' He added that clothing manufacturers are not being dishonest because size has 'always been an approximation,' but consumers should be aware of what is going on with their clothes. posted by Sydney on
