It's not just lunch

Thursday, July 12, 2012

Sharing a meal with a former romantic partner is more likely than other, non-food-related activities to make your current partner jealous, according to a study published July 11 in the open access journal PLoS ONE.

The authors, led by Kevin Kniffin of Cornell University, asked undergraduate students to rate their jealousy in response to hypothetical scenarios involving their romantic partner engaging with a former partner, either by email, phone, coffee, or a meal. They found that a meal elicited the highest jealousy ratings, potentially pointing to the importance of meals for human relationships and intimacy. Interestingly, the researchers did not find any significant differences in the jealousy reported by male versus female participants.

Dr. Kniffin remarks, "Given the tradition and fashion of food sharing among co-workers, family members, and friends, our findings are notably consistent with the idea that eating together has importance beyond nutritional factors. By applying a functional view of jealousy, our studies yield the inference that people think meals can be more than just meals."

Rising Shale Water Complicates Fracking Debate

Mladen Antonov/AFP/Getty Images

A water tank truck is seen on the main street in Waynesburg, Pa., on April 13. Scientists say naturally polluted water can rise to the surface of the Marcellus Shale; that finding suggests that frack water could seep out, too.

The nation's boom in natural gas production has come with a cost: The technique used to get much of the gas out of the ground, called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has contaminated drinking water. But how often and where this contamination is taking place is a matter of much debate and litigation.

Now, a new study has found natural pathways of contamination ? but that doesn't mean the drilling industry is off the hook.

When gas drillers frack, they pump millions of gallons of water, mixed with sand and chemicals, down into a layer of rock called the Marcellus Shale of Pennsylvania. That helps free up natural gas that then comes to the surface.

But some Pennsylvanians say that polluted water may be seeping back up. They report a salty brine, sometimes laden with dangerous metals, in their water wells. Industry officials say no: The Marcellus layer is over a mile deep ? too deep for water to seep up through all that rock and get into water wells.

Scientists from Duke University have published a paper that says that, in fact, water can rise up from the Marcellus layer.

"What we show in this paper is that there are certain places that it does look like there are connections from the surface to deep underground," says Robert Jackson, an ecologist and chemical engineer. His team studied over 400 groundwater samples. Some were slightly salty, or briny, and some were very briny.

They looked for the chemical fingerprint of brine from the deep Marcellus layer. And they found it in the saltiest samples.

"The water found in those locations looks very salty, like what you see deep underground and contains gases, and just looks like the deeper brine," he says.

There's a catch, though: The briniest water wasn't near operating gas wells. In some cases, the samples were taken before fracking came to the state.

Writing in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Jackson says that suggests there are some natural conduits that allow deep, briny water to rise to the surface ? from the same shale layer that gas companies are drilling into.

Jackson says he's trying to distinguish what's natural seepage and what may be from fracking. He's also studying how it gets up, too ? through natural fractures in the earth, perhaps, or old oil and gas wells that predate the fracking boom.

"They are a possible conduit for movement of salts or fracking chemicals or even gases up to the surface," Jackson says. "But we just don't know how likely that is."

Complicating The Fracking Debate

The discovery complicates the fracking debate. It suggests that briny water with methane or metals like barium or strontium isn't necessarily from drilling. But it also means that if natural water is coming up from over a mile underground, the drillers' frack water could come up, too.

Jackson says the findings need to be confirmed with more research. David Yoxtheimer, a geologist at Penn State, says in the meantime, it will cause arguments about fracking.

"I think it could certainly fuel that debate: Do we understand the geology well enough to know that, you know, we can do this safely without impacting groundwater?"

Yoxtheimer says the Marcellus layer is pretty dry and spongelike. It can absorb lots of water from fracking without returning it to the surface until it's soaked through ? an unlikely scenario, he says.

And it could take centuries for any kind of water to rise a mile through rock.

Brian Stewart, a geochemist at the University of Pittsburgh, says the Duke research is part of an effort to diagnose what Pennsylvania's water looked like before fracking and after, in a state whose water has experienced over a century of industrial pollution.

"It's a mess when you look at it. When you look at any individual source of pollution it seems almost hopeless, but it's really not," Stewart says. "You need sort of a mixed tool bag, but I think we're starting to get there."

And the research does identify areas with clean groundwater, with little or no natural salt or pollutants, so that if something nasty shows up in that water, it's most likely not natural.

Who's at Risk for Eating Disorders? - Childrens Med Dallas Blog

Experts, Nutrition, Services, Wellness

09 July 2012

Stereotypes project teen girls the only group at risk for anorexia and bulimia, but girls as young as 9 also struggle with eating disorders.

Boys Are Not Immune to Eating Disorders

You may not think boys are at risk either, but the Center for Pediatric Eating Disorders at Children?s Medical Center has seen a dramatic increase in the percentage of boys younger than 18 in its program ? from 11 to 24 percent in just five years. Think wrestling, swimming, cycling, and gymnastics ? sports identified by a specific body type and/or weight. ?Boys are not immune to cultural messages of beauty or fitness and feeling pressures of body type,? says Shari Scott, Ph.D., the center?s clinical director.

Signs of an Eating Disorder

Kids sometimes struggle with eating disorders for some time before anyone notices. Dr. Scott says these may be signs your child is having problems:

• Intense fear of weight gain or being ?fat?
• Extreme concern with body weight and shape
• Extreme rituals or rules around food or eating
• Refusal to maintain body weight at or above a
  minimally normal weight for height, body type, age,
  and activity level
• Repeated episodes of bingeingon largeamounts of food
• Purging after a binge, typically by self-induced vomiting
• Abuse of laxatives, diet pills, and/or diuretics
• Excessive exercise or fasting

Don?t Delay if You Detect Signs

Ignoring the warning signs could potentially compromise your child?s health. Anorexia can lead to dehydration and malnutrition, while bulimia increases the risk for heart and esophagus issues. Normal adolescent growth and development are another concern. Girls with eating disorders throughout their adolescence can experience compromised estrogen production and bone density. Production of testosterone and other hormones can be delayed in boys.

The causes of eating disorders are just now being better understood. Cultural pressures, a child?s temperament and style of coping with stress, family dynamics, depression, and anxiety can all play a part. If the signs are present, consider seeing your pediatrician or a mental health provider who specializes in the treatment of eating problems right away. The sooner you seek help, the better the prognosis.

How Children?s Can Help

The Children?s Center for Pediatric Eating Disorders, the only facility of its kind in Texas, o?ffers a full continuum of care ? from hospitalization to outpatient therapy. It?s also the state?s only center that treats boys and young children struggling
with eating disorders.

Children?s recently moved the center to its Children?s at Legacy campus in Plano to expand its ability to treat the growing number of youngsters battling eating disorders. It o?ffers a calm setting for patients with views of open fields, large therapy rooms, and a state-of-the-art kitchen used in family therapy. For more information,
