The first GM food crop containing human genes is set to be approved for commercial production.
The laboratory-created rice produces some of the human proteins found in breast milk and saliva.

Girls opting out of HPV shots
Girls opting out of HPV shots
Less than half of Grade 8 females got the three-dose vaccination against HPV

More than half of Grade 8 girls in London-Middlesex still aren’t getting vaccinated against a virus linked to cervical cancer, disappointing health officials.
Last year, about 45% of local girls received the three doses paid for by the federal government.
“We’d like to be higher, obviously. We’d like to be at 100, but we’d like to be more toward 70%,” said Dr. Bryna Warshawsky, associate medical officer of health at the Middlesex-London Health Unit. The health unit started administering the Gardasil vaccine through a school-based program in 2007.
At the time, 39% of Grade 8 girls got the three-dose shots, each costing $150. Gardasil is designed to protect against four types of the sexually-transmitted human papilloma virus, two of which are blamed for 70% of cervical cancer cases.
Why Almost Everything You Hear About Medicine Is Wrong
Why Almost Everything You Hear About Medicine Is Wrong
If you follow the news about health research, you risk whiplash. First garlic lowers bad cholesterol, then—after more study—it doesn’t. Hormone replacement reduces the risk of heart disease in postmenopausal women, until a huge study finds that it doesn’t (and that it raises the risk of breast cancer to boot). Eating a big breakfast cuts your total daily calories, or not—as a study released last week finds. Yet even if biomedical research can be a fickle guide, we rely on it.
But what if wrong answers aren’t the exception but the rule? More and more scholars who scrutinize health research are now making that claim. It isn’t just an individual study here and there that’s flawed, they charge. Instead, the very framework of medical investigation may be off-kilter, leading time and again to findings that are at best unproved and at worst dangerously wrong. The result is a system that leads patients and physicians astray—spurring often costly regimens that won’t help and may even harm you.
