Your Weight and Your Health are Unrelated
So argues a new book, The Obesity Myth. Interview with the author over at alternet.  Plus they just lowered the level of cholesterol considered healthy, and it turns out that gum disease can lead to heart disease.  Floss or you die
 
I give up.
 
UPDATE: Add one more scientific u-turn. Black holes ain't so black. Truth is, Hawking always said they emit radiation, so that's no development, but now he says he was wrong about them rendering matter that enters lost forever, in violation of the laws of quantum physics. Clearly  this will have a huge impact on the way you and I live.
Quantum physics 1, Stephen Hawking 0.
