“Hot Off The Presses” will pull the needles from the haystack for you and help you make sense of the myriad of studies you are bombarded with each month.
If you ever learn of a study you want my input on, let me know! I’m happy to toss in my 2cents or find a colleague to give us some input if the study is out of my area of expertise. Shoot me a tweet or email (ideas@pediatricsnow.com).
For this week’s show, 10 studies peaked my interest in the areas of food, fitness, fun and healthy living. You’ll find links to all the studies as well as the information on getting smoking removed from G, PG and PG-13 movies below.
