Weekly religious attendance nearly as effective as statins and exercise in extending life
In a study comparing the associations between faith and health, a University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) physician has shown the improvements in life expectancy of those who attend religious services on a weekly basis to be comparable to those who participate in regular physical exercise and to those who take statin-type medications.
Omega-3 fatty acids inhibit growth of liver cancer cells
Two new studies by a University of Pittsburgh research team suggest that omega-3 fatty acids — substances that are found in high concentrations in fish oils and certain seeds and nuts — significantly inhibit the growth of liver cancer cells. The studies suggest that omega-3 fatty acids may be an effective therapy for both the treatment and prevention of human liver cancers.

Value of services performed by insects tops $57 billion in US
Think twice before you blithely swat, stomp, curse or ignore insects, says Cornell University entomologist John Losey, who co-authored a study that shows the dollar value of some of those insect services is more than $57 billion in the United States annually. The research appears in the journal BioScience today.
