Petrelli, Carmen Rodriguez, and Clark W. Heath, Jr. Body-Mass Index and Mortality in a Prospective Cohort of U.S. Adults. (...in a prospective study of more than 1 million adults in the United States over a period of 14 years, some 19% of that group [over 200,000] died. The body-mass index [a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of their height in meters] of the individuals who died was studied in relation to the risk of death from several causes, whether the individuals smoked or not, their history of disease, race, cause of death, or age. The results indicate that the risk of death from all causes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, or other diseases increases throughout the range of moderate and severe overweight for both men and women in all age groups. The risk associated with a high body-mass index is greater for whites than for blacks--from the abstract on the New England Journal of Medicine Web site) New England Journal of Medicine Volume 341, Number 15 (October 7, 1999): 1097-1105. **An abstract of this article is currently available through the Web site of the New England Journal of Medicine** James B. Gardiner, Matthew J. Morra, Charlotte V. Eberlein, Paul D. Brown, and Vladimir Borek Allelochemicals Released in Soil Following Incorporation of Rapeseed (Brassica napus) Green Manures. (... allelochemicals derived from plants--such as rapeseed--have been shown to be viable alternatives to man-made chemicals for the control of plant pests found in the soil; the results of this study indicated that production of these allelochemicals was greatest 30 hours after the rapeseed plants had been plowed back into the soil, and that the roots of the rapeseed plant may be a greater source of these natural chemicals than the above-ground portion of the plant; glucosinolates) Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry Volume 47, Number 9 (September 20, 1999): 3837-3842. **An abstract of this article is currently available through the Web site of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry** Alan I.

(... the [United States] National Institute on Drug Abuse has published a new guide to drug treatment to assist both health professionals and the general public to understand and assess different approaches to treating addiction through detailing some of the essential characteristics of addiction and its treatment and discussing the principles that characterize effective treatment programs--from the text of the article on the JAMA--The Journal of the American Medical Association Web site) JAMA--The Journal of the American Medical Association Volume 282, Number 14 (October 13, 1999) **The complete text of this article is currently available through the Web site of JAMA--The Journal of the American Medical Association** Harry A. Kuiper, Hub P. J. M. Noteborn, and Ad A. C. M. Peijnenburg Adequacy of Methods for Testing the Safety of Genetically Modified Foods. (... a review of two recent studies on the possible effects on human health of genetically modified [GM] foods and the adequacy of current and future methods of testing for the safety of these foods) Lancet Volume 354, Number 9187 (October 16, 1999): 1313.
