Mangrove forests may have reduced the cyclone's impact, a politician says..
Destruction of mangrove forests in Burma left coastal areas exposed to the devastating force of the weekend's cyclone, a top politician suggests.

Work exposure to weed killers tied to brain cancer NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Women whose jobs regularly expose them to weed killers may have a higher-than-normal risk of a particular form of brain cancer, results of a U.S. study suggest.
Researchers found that among more than 1,400 U.S. adults with and without brain cancer, there was no overall link between the disease and on-the-job exposure to pesticides or herbicides -- chemicals used to kill plants, usually weeds.
Growing ocean dead zones leave fish gasping
19:00 01 May 2008 NewScientist.com news service Andy Coghlan
"Dead zones" containing too little oxygen for fish to breathe are growing as global temperatures increase.
Warmer water dissolves less oxygen, so as temperatures rise, oxygen vanishes from oceans. Marine biologists are warning that if dead zones continue expanding, oceanic "deserts" could massively deplete marine life and fish stocks.

Cow's milk may increase the risk of diabetes 09 May 2008 NewScientist.com news service
Does drinking infant formula made of cow's milk increase the risk of developing type 1 diabetes?
In 1993, a Finnish study found that consuming dairy products early on correlated with diabetes risk. One explanation is that beta-lactoglobulin, a protein in cow's, but not human, milk prompts babies to make antibodies that also attack glycodelin, a protein vital for training the immune system. The mistuned immune system then mistakenly destroys insulin-producing pancreatic cells, leading to type 1 diabetes.

Questions and answers about veterans suicide
WASHINGTON (AP) - Veterans Affairs Secretary James Peake took heated questions this week on Capitol Hill about whether his agency was withholding information about the number of veterans who are committing suicide.
His testimony was prompted by the disclosure of e-mails during a recent trial that seemed to suggest some VA officials were hiding the number of veterans trying to kill themselves. Peake promised to make the agency more transparent.

Afghan 'health link' to uranium
Doctors say there has been a rapid rise in infant health conditions. Doctors in Afghanistan say rates of some health problems affecting children
have doubled in the last two years. Some scientists say the rise is linked to use of weapons containing depleted uranium (DU) by the US-led coalition that invaded the country in
