Long-term cell phone use isn't tied to higher brain tumor risk
A study of more than 2.8 million Danish adults found that those who had been using mobile phones for 11 to 15 years didn't have an increased risk of acoustic neuromas -- noncancerous, slow-growing brain tumors -- compared with newer users and nonusers. Long-term cell phone users also didn't exhibit larger-than-expected tumors, noted the lead researcher of the study, which appears in the American Journal of Epidemiology. Reuters (7/13)

Study: Coffee and tea drinkers are less likely to have MRSA
Research in the Annals of Family Medicine shows that people who drink hot coffee or tea are 50% less likely to have methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in their noses compared with those who do not drink the beverages. The bacterium can cause serious illness or death in those with a weak immune system. The research shows that those who drink the most coffee or tea have the lowest MRSA risk. WebMD (7/11)
