How Fructose Impairs the Memory
Americans consume more fructose than ever before, yet concerns remain that the sugar, used to sweeten beverages and processed foods, poses health risks. In animals, fructose-rich diets increase the production of fat and promote resistance to the energy-regulating hormone insulin. New research suggests that memory suffers as well, at least in rats.Neuroscientist Marise B. Parent of Georgia State university and her col­leagues fed 11 adolescent rats a diet in which fructose supplied 60 percent of the calories. For 10 other rats, cornstarch took the place of the sweetener. The scientists trained the rats to find a submerged platform in a pool, with the help of surrounding cues. [More]

Genetic Sequencing Gets Personal
Price competition is coming to the rarified world of genome sequencing. For $48,000, San Diego-based Illumina will sequence your genome -- in other words, your entire genetic code. Until now, the only other company offering personal genome sequencing services is biotech startup Knome. It charges $99,500. Genome sequencing can alert individuals if they have inherited genes that cause illnesses like diabetes, Alzheimer's or cancer. Using the information as a guide, people could alter their lifestyles in an attempt to dodge potentially latent diseases. They also could find out the probability of passing along a genetic disease like cystic fibrosis to their children, or uncover interesting details about their ancestry.

Better Ethics, Cheaper Drugs
As the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and its 6 million residents struggle to pay their medical bills, they have a new tool on their side, starting today. A law cracking down on the marketing that pharmaceutical firms do with doctors goes into effect. No one expects miracles from the new rules, but they should ensure that doctors? prescribing decisions will focus more on patient needs and less on the gifts and fancy meals many doctors have long received from drug companies. All the favors that drug companies do for doctors raise overall health costs in two ways. First, they are a substantial part of the $57.5 billion that the industry spends annually on marketing, a cost that gets added on to each prescription a patient buys. Second, the industry?s goal in influencing doctors is often to get them to prescribe a new, higher-priced medication when a generic or cheaper name-brand competitor is just as effective. Partly as a result of high costs of drugs, one-quarter of original prescr

Key Committee Supports Public Option
Twelve Democrats and one independent on a key Senate committee rallied Thursday behind a $611 billion health care reform bill that includes a government-run insurance plan, seeking to put up a united front as Republicans and some moderate Democrats continue to doubt the need for the public option. Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) unveiled a bill that costs significantly less than an earlier, incomplete plan from the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee that would have topped $1 trillion and left many Americans uninsured.
