« Science City Summit asks how to keep scientists here | Main | Aronson, Rosenbaum honored for career achievements » Thursday, April 26, 2007Today's Globe: junk-food ban, prostate cancer test, Army outpatient boostA prestigious scientific panel yesterday urged the government to ban soft drinks, sugary snacks and other junk food from schools, saying the typical fare available in vending machines, at snack bars, and at class birthday parties is contributing to the growing obesity of America's children. A new prostate cancer test that relies on measuring levels of a blood protein called EPCA-2 accurately found cancer 94 percent of the time, a significant improvement over the current PSA test, according to a study released yesterday.
