Cloned animals safe to eat.

The Food and Drug Administration has announced that meat and milk from cloned animals is safe to eat.

Scientists have concluded there is no difference between food from clones and food from conventional livestock.

But cloned products are not ready for the supermarket just yet.

A final decision from the government is still months away.

Another possible use for botox - treating writer's cramp.

In a small study of 40 patients, most had their condition improve after being given injections.

Botox is best known as a wrinkle fighter, but it's also used to treat muscle problems including giving stroke patients better range of motion.

According to a recent study, the more a person's belly sticks out, the greater their risk of heart disease.

Instead of just analyzing weight, scientists looked to see if stomach size by itself could predict future problems.

Researchers found men with the largest stomachs were 42 percent more likely to develop heart disease than those with the smallest.
