  1. Nutrition group petitions for federal regulation of sugary drinks

  5. Jet lag: What the tired traveler needs to know

    <strong>Question:</strong> My wife and I travel to Israel at least twice a year to visit children and grandchildren. There is a 10-hour time difference between Los Angeles and Tel Aviv. Because of time constraints, we can stay only about seven days. Even though we take Ambien on the plane, we are hit with heavy jet lag for the entire time we are in Israel, which affects the enjoyment of our trip. Is there anything we can do to reduce the jet lag?

  6. Science isn't on the drug warriors' side [Blowback]

    Former head of the Drug Enforcement Administration Robert Bonner wrote in his <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/opinion-la/la-ol-dea-marijuana-blowbac-20130201,0,5287678.story">Feb. 1 Blowback article</a>, "There is still no such scientific study establishing that marijuana is effective as a medicine."

  7. It's 2013, when dreams may yet come true

    New Year's Day is a time for reassessment and renewal &mdash; and hoping the next year is an improvement over the messy rat race that was the last one. On that note, The Times has a tradition of reserving this page on this day for our own, often hopelessly over-optimistic wishes for the coming 12 months. Our record last year: Roughly five of our 27 wishes came true (that's what we mean by over-optimistic). Undeterred, we present our slate of dreams for 2013. We wish for:

  8. Goldberg: Good sense and gun control

    In the early 1980s, transit officials in Washington couldn't figure out why traffic on the Beltway would grind to a near halt every day around the exact same time. The usual explanations didn't fit.

  10. Safe peanut butter, and beyond

    The bins of peanuts outside were uncovered, food safety inspectors reported, allowing birds to do on them what birds do. Employees failed to wash their hands regularly or to practice other basic hygiene. Salmonella was found in dozens of locations throughout the plant, which had shipped jars of peanut butter even though its own tests showed they were tainted with the potentially deadly bacteria. After more than 40 people were sickened, the plant closed voluntarily in September and the company's products were recalled. And yet Sunland Inc. announced plans to reopen the New Mexico facility, which sold organic peanut butter to Trader Joe's and other markets.

  11. Hey DEA dudes, drop the 'Reefer Madness' mentality

    The <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-marijuana-court-20130123,0,3374670.story">appellate court decision</a> on marijuana is understandable: We don't have solid, gold-standard scientific evidence, just as the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration says, that it's helpful medically. And that is precisely because the DEA controls the marijuana available for such scientific studies and makes it all but impossible for serious researchers to get their hands on it for studies.

  12. Food FYI: What's in your bowl of noodles? It may be melamine

    We love a steaming hot bowl of soup -- ramen, pho, beef noodle soup, whatever. But scientists say that if the bowl is made with melamine, the melamine might be seeping into our bodies.
