Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Managing a fussy infant or a determined toddler can be a daily test of patience and endurance for parents and caregivers.

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign followed more than 350 children from birth to age 3 and found direct associations between infants’ temperaments and their development of emotional overeating at age 3. However, caregivers’ supportive and non-supportive responses to the…

We were discussing hemoglobinopathy — a disorder in which red blood cells can be destroyed — when my brother asked a question. “Should I take vitamin B6 and iron pills so that my hemoglobin levels could rise, and I won’t look pale?” Ohers ask the same kind of questions about their health concerns, with some spending hundreds of dollars a month on vitamins of various kinds. Should we take vitamin supplements daily? My chemistry teacher, Father Wheeler in Kansas City, would say that the only thing affected by vitamin supplements was your pocketbook. Research shows that vitamin supplements are only…
