Medical news of the obvious
There was a bumper crop of obvious research this week, so we'll keep it snappy. Some of the highlights:
Employees who are sexually harrassed have lower job satisfaction.
Couch potatoes are fat.
The internet has scams.
Talking on your cell phone in the car is bad.
Banning soda at school doesn't solve the child obesity crisis.
People in clinical trials like to know the results when the study's over.
Middle-aged men like to chase after younger women.
