Unborn babies who share the womb with a sister may enter the world a little healthier.
A study of more than 2,500 twin pregnancies found the risk of pre-term delivery was highest when both twins were boys and lowest when both were girls.

|
|
If you want to quit smoking, light cigarettes may not be the answer.
A new study suggests smokers who switch to low-tar, light or mild cigarettes won't find it easier to quit and may even find it harder.
Smokers who moved to light cigarettes were 50% less likely to kick the habit. Researchers say one reason may be because people think light cigarettes are healthier.
