0%	366.	ATT Worldnet - Health Dec. 8, 2006 -- An FDA advisory panel recommended new warnings Friday for popular medical devices used in millions of patients with cardiovascular disease. Experts also said doctors should be urged to extend the use of the blood-thinning drug Plavix in patients who receive drug-coated stents off-label.

0%	367.	ATT Worldnet - Health A report in Science speculates that altruism evolved among human ancestors who cooperated by sharing scarce resources to survive in harsh conditions and warfare. Bowles hasn't found an "altruism" gene. Bowles' theory may explain "the stability" of altruism among people, "but whether it is sufficient to explain its origin is not yet clear," notes editorialist Robert Boyd, PhD.

0%	369.	ATT Worldnet - Health In the study, Kochhar and his team evaluated 22 volunteers, half of whom said they were "chocolate desiring" and half who were "chocolate indifferent." They ate a variety of chocolates, including milk or dark chocolate or milk chocolate with almonds, Kochhar says. With more research, Kochhar says, understating what a healthy metabolic signature includes could help health professionals develop nutritional regimens meant to "nudge" a person's own metabolic signature in the right direction.
