which they call "schlank" (the German for slim or lean), lose the ability to store fat in their bodies: the scientists say this discovery may lead to new treatments for obesity in humans because

Some cancers are harmless and will not cause symptoms or death during a patient's lifetime. The cancer grows so slowly that the patient dies of other causes before it produces symptoms, or the cancer remains dormant or regresses. Overdiagnosis refers to the detection of those cancers. </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Redscrubs/~4/cVqLJoMvug8" height="1" width="1"/> http://redscrubs.com/2009/07/top-news-post-july-10-2009/feed/ http://redscrubs.com/2009/07/top-news-post-july-10-2009/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Redscrubs/~3/-UK-2UD_a68/ http://redscrubs.com/2009/07/top-news-post-july-9-2009/#comments Thu, 09 Jul 2009 12:40:44 +0000 RedScrubs.com Popular Stories Healthcare News http://redscrubs.com/2009/07/top-news-post-july-9-2009/ <img class="left border" src="http://redscrubs.com/pictures/rsnews2.jpg" width="110" height="120" alt="Top News"/> <div class=""> Here is our Top News Post for today, brought to you by <a href="http://www.staffpointe.com/">StaffPointe</a>: <div class="hr"><hr /></div> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.empowher.com/news/2009/07/09/report-contends-lack-oversight-bottled-water">Report Contends Lack of Oversight for Bottled Water</a></li> (Report via <strong>Empowher</strong>) The water in your tap is more rigorously regulated than the bottled water you buy in a store, according to a General Accounting Office (GAO) report delivered Wednesday to Congress.
