Reuters Health – Many parents have only a poor understanding of how much sleep their children need, a New Zealand study found.

One in four parents thought children need less sleep than is recommended, while one in five thought children need more sleep than what experts advise.

Many parents also reported that TV watching, playing, and late dinners interrupted their kids’ regular bedtimes.

“Children who have insufficient sleep are more likely to have difficulties with their attention, mood, learning, health, and behavior at home and at school,” said lead author Philippa McDowall of the University of Otago in New Zealand.

What’s the Big Deal About Genetically-Modified Organisms?

For more than 40 industrialized nations — including countries such as Australia, Brazil, China, Russia, and Spain — the question of whether or not to identify and label GMOs is a no-brainer. When asked how Europeans handle GMO labeling, a European colleague of mine — not surprisingly — laughed as she wisely said, “You Americans can make such a big deal out of nothing. In Europe, this is a very easy question to answer: Research has consistently shown that it is bad for you, so we stopped using it.”

What she meant is that GMO labeling is a requirement in Europe. Because well-informed Europeans do not want to eat GMOs, they simply stopped buying them. The same food companies — such as Nestle, Kraft and Hershey, the ones pouring millions of dollars into defeating the ballot in California — Do not use GMOs in the European food market. Period.

HLN reports new research by Brown University professors shows bacteria associated with gum disease is also linked to pancreatic cancer and flossing could prevent both. The findings were posted online July 10 in the journal Carcinogenesis and originally reported by LiveScience. Newser explains some of the theories of how that bacteria could lead to cancer: “The bacteria may cause body-wide inflammation, weaken the body’s immune system, or directly activate pancreatic tumor signaling pathways.”

Hope For Human Limb Regeneration Could Lie in Fingernails

BY CHRISTINA HARTMAN   They say among the things that make humans unique: Our opposable thumbs, which, by the way, we do share with some primates.    But in any case, if a person were to lose a thumb in, say, an accident, we don’t have the same regenerative abilities as a lizard.  Or do we?   PopSci reports , there’s new hope we humans can do the same with severed limbs.   You’ve probably heard about cases where people have had the tips of their fingers severed and then seemed to grow back.   Back in 2010, this woman — Deepa Kularni — was able to grow back a part of her pinky finger with the help of ground-up pig bladder.   NYU scientists went looking for answers. Basically, they discovered they could force the production of a family of stem cells called Wnts in mice, which were able to regrow both bone and tissue.  And they confirmed, we have a family of stem cells found in the base of the nail that CAN stimulate regeneration.  Those stem cells, by the way, can be found at the base of the fingernail.   They tested the theory on mice — cuz you know — you can’t go severing human fingertips for the sake of testing — but they’re hopeful digit parts could be regenerated the way they did with mice. So you could say researchers “nailed” regeneration.   In fact, that’s what The Scientist’s Sabrina Richards says — only — it’s just a step in the right direction: “ An important first step will be identifying other important molecules the nail stem cells release to regulate regeneration…”   Researchers say they’re looking for ways to transplant the nail stem cells.

Ambien Side Effects: What Does Science Say About The Sleep Medication? (VIDEO)

Hi everyone. Cara Santa Maria here. You’ve heard the stories, right? Someone takes Ambien so they can sleep, and next thing they know, they’re waking up halfway across town with no memory of how they got there. From sleepwalking to sleep driving–and even sleep sex–Ambien has been implicated in a number of strange sleep behaviors. A friend of a friend of mine took Ambien, went to bed, and about a week later, she got all these packages in the mail. Apparently, while she was sleeping, she’d ordered a bunch of “hooker clothes” (her words)! So what is it about Ambien that can induce such bizarre behavior, and why do people continue to take it?
