"Corn sugar," school lunches and homeopathic "vaccines"

Here's what we're reading today:

Nutrition: Another label to remember when you go to the supermarket: "corn sugar" – that's apparently what high-fructose corn syrup makers want to call their product now. Surprisingly, high-fructose corn syrup isn't as nutritionally evil as it's been made to be, the New York Times' Tara Parker-Pope reports.

Autism: Yet another study finds no link between the vaccine thimerosal and autism, the Los Angeles Times' Melissa Healy reports in a pointed blog post. Even Jenny McCarthy, a once-vocal proponent of the vaccine-autism link, isn't so sure now, Healy writes.

Pseudo "Vaccines": Say it isn't so! The BBC reports that some homeopaths in Scotland are offering "alternative vaccinations" to replace the MMR, an important childhood vaccine.

Health Reform: Can't sleep because you don't know what an accountable care organization is or how it works? Well, worry no longer with this helpful overview from Seton Hall Law School's Health Reform Watch blog. This is an older post, but a useful one.

School Lunches: "Does the National School Lunch Program make children obese, or are obese children simply more likely to sign up for the program in the first place?" That's the question Emily Badger raises in a provocative Miller-McCune magazine story.
