We
have household cleaners with ingredients that kill bacteria, so why not
do the same with what we use to clean our teeth? That’s the idea
following the discovery of a molecule that kills the germ that causes
cavities. Scientists think the substance could be added to toothpaste,
mouthwash and even candy to help prevent tooth decay, and human trials
would be the next step. Source Link
For
teens, summer means more than just a break from school. Health experts
say first-time drug and alcohol use for teenagers nearly doubles during
summer, with more idle time and less adult supervision. That’s why it’s
important for parents to keep talking with their kids about the real
risks of substance abuse now and all year long. Source Link
There’s
no vacation from all of our digital gadgets when we take that
summertime break from work. A new study found that smart phones and
social media are taking the place of postcards and pay phone calls when
people are on vacation. In fact, wireless use was higher on vacation
then when people were at work. Source Link
