Now comes this warning from the California Poison Control Center&#8217;s Dr. Richard Geller. Your teen&#8217;s sudden interest in bath salts from the corner store may have nothing to do with cleanliness or rubber duckies. &#8220;Beginning in September, 2010,&#8221; says Geller, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fascinating story in this morning&#8217;s paper by my colleague, Jessica Yadegaran, about the rising epidemic of obesity among infants. Yup, those dimpled cheeks and chubby thighs have gone far beyond what&#8217;s healthy. &#8220;Ten years ago,&#8221; Jessica writes, &#8220;pediatrician Gary Bean began noticing a trend in his Oakland practice.

Eleven million drop-side cribs have been recalled since 2007, after hundreds of injuries and 32 fatal accidents in which babies became wedged or fell out of their beds.
