      Babies Off Breast Milk Too Soon

      Almost three quarters of new mothers in the US breast feed their babies, but they are switching to formula too soon, say federal health officials.

      Japanese TV Is Losing to Wii

      Ratings are plummeting for Japanese prime-time TV shows as audiences increasingly turn to playing games on Nintendo's Wii system.

      10 Worst Hereditary Conditions

      MSNBC lists the 10 lamest heredity conditions. Baldness: People usually blame mom on this one, but cue ball syndrome can come from either side of the gene pool. Lactose intolerance: Humans developed the ability to digest milk only in the past 10,000 years, and only where dairy farming is common.  If you can't imbibe, your ancestors are at fault. Acne: Mom or dad was probably pizza-faced too. Twins: Hyperovulation, the release of multiple eggs in one cycle is a hereditary condition. Heart disease: Heart conditions and congenital heart defects are in the blood. More »
