More American women are choosing not to have children than three decades ago, according to a new report.Nearly 20 percent of older women do not have children, compared to 10 percent in the 1970s, the Pew Research Center said."In recent decades, social pressure to play traditional roles has lessened in a broad variety of ways and there is more leeway for individual choice. This could play a part in lowering pressure for people to get married and bear children," said D'Vera Cohn, a co-author of the report."Women have more options than in the past to build strong careers and to exercise the choice not to have children," she added in an email.The findings in the report are based on data from the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey.Cohn said another reason for the increase is that children are seen by some as less important for a successful marriage.

Between 1994 and 2008, the childlessness rates for...more
We all already know that fast food is not good for our bodies. But do you know that fast-food consumption was associated with asthma? A new study found that kids who eat three or more burgers a week have a higher risk for developing asthma and wheezing than kids who eat fewer burgers.Conversely, asthma risk was lower for children whose diets more closely adhered to the Mediterranean way of eating with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and fish.Fast food is rich in industrially hydrogenated vegetable fats such as margarine and meat from ruminant animals which are dietary sources of trans-fatty acids, the researchers noted. There is some evidence that dietary intake of trans-fatty acids is associated with asthma and atopy [allergic sensitivity].Asthma cannot be cured, but it can be controlled. Maintain a healthy weight, healthy a balanced diet with lots of fruit, vegetables and diet high in fish can help prevent asthma and improve symptoms if you have the asthma.Study led by by Dr. Gabriele Nagel and colleagues at the Institute of Epidemiology at Ulm University in Germany collected data on about 50,000 children from 20 rich and poor countries.
