Kids And Chemicals, A Special Report On Now With Bill Moyers Tracks The Scientific Search For Answers About How Environmental Toxins Affect America's Children
Kids and Chemicals, a special edition of NOW with Bill Moyers features medical investigators and health officials engaged in the latest research on links between childhood illness and environmental contamination. The program looks at families around the country who are coping with the consequences to their children of potentially toxic exposures. "The disturbing increases in childhood illness in America cannot be ignored," says Bill Moyers. "How does the exposure affect children's health? The new research is studying how chemicals enter the human body, and posing questions that they could never ask before: Do chemicals affect children, babies and unborn fetuses more than adults? What factors increase toxicity, and how can we protect children from harm?" KIDS AND CHEMICALS, a special report on NOW With Bill Moyers, premieres Friday, May 10, at 9:00 p.m. (ET) on PBS (check local listings).

Tea May Help Survive Heart Attack
Several studies have found that regular tea drinkers seem to have a lower risk of heart attacks, though it remains unclear why. Researchers involved in the latest study suspect the findings are linked to flavonoids, antioxidants found naturally in various foods derived from plants. Findings indicated that tea drinkers generally had lower death rates regardless of age, gender, smoking status, obesity, or hypertension.

Mind Body Health Newsletter
In spite of a growing body of research over the last decade documenting the economic burden of depression on individuals and on society, efforts to curb skyrocketing medical costs usually start with cuts in mental health services and benefits. Insurance coverage of mental health treatment in recent years has become more and more restrictive. Most health care reform proposals impose stricter limits on mental health care than on general medical services. One study suggests that in the long run these cuts may be costing the health-care system far more than they save, reports Dr. David Sobel in "Depression and Health Care: The High Cost of Saving."
