There’s more worrisome news about vitamins: Taking too many may increase men’s risk of dying from prostate cancer.
The study, being published Wednesday, doesn’t settle the issue. But it is the biggest yet to suggest high-dose multivitamins may harm the prostate, and the latest chapter in the confusing quest to tell whether taking various vitamins really helps a variety of conditions — or is a waste of money, or worse.

Federal regulators say MedImmune’s nasal spray flu vaccine is effective for children under age 5 even though it may increase the risk of respiratory problems.

We, everyone at Parent Wonder, would like to pay tribute to all the mothers.
When is the best time to teach your children about the value of money? There is no definite time frame but it is always good to start as early as possible. Educating, motivating and empowering children to spend money wisely at a young age would inculcate healthy financial habits. To get your children started on the road to financial responsibility, here are six simple tips.
The sound of "eh eh eh" and pointing finger have become a very handy communication tool for my one year old son lately.
The tool is used whenever he wants YOU to:
1) carry him to go somewhere when he’s lazy to walk himself
2) pick up something (a toy, a spoon, etc) for him
3) feed him water
4) feed him by pointing to the food (I can’t pinpoint what food he hates, he eats almost everything)
5) wear shoes for him when he sees someone heads for the door
6) get a book for him to "read"
Plus many many things more…
See I told you, it’s a very useful tool. If you refuse to listen to his "instructions", you’ll soon be served with a higher volume of "eh eh eh" followed by "ahh ahhhh ahhhhhh."
My wife and I just wonder how soon he will be able to say single syllable words and render this tool obsolete.
