Most people understand that serious weight loss requires changing attitudes toward what they eat and how often they exercise. But, what if the process could be aided by simply chewing a stick of gum after meals? That's the question a team of scientists, led by Syracuse University chemist Robert Doyle, is trying to answer. In a groundbreaking new study, Doyle's team demonstrated, for the first time, that a critical hormone that helps people feel "full" after eating can be delivered into the bloodstream orally.

The field of research on brain chemistry and mental illness is still young, though the research that has been done is promising. This new field is allowing clinicians to develop different and more effective treatments for several mental illnesses. Specifically, research on childhood anxiety and brain structure has shown that anxiety experienced in childhood may change the way that the amygdala connects to other regions of the brain. The amygdala plays a role in emotion regulation and is considered to be part of the limbic system. This finding can possibly explain how early life stresses contribute to future emotional and behavioral issues. If anxiety can be traced back to childhood, then treatment interventions as an adult may be different then if anxiety wasn't experienced in childhood.

Pregnant women sacrifice many of life's simple pleasures - caffeine, sushi, a glass of wine - in the hope that their baby will be born healthy. But according to a provocative new field of research, what happens during pregnancy can have lasting consequences that emerge decades after the child leaves the hospital. Studies are finding that adult illnesses like heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes can have roots in the mysterious months we spend in the womb.

Can it really be true that a quarter of Brits are bullied or beaten up at home or are mentally ill, or is this simply a case of social campaigners exaggerating how bad life is in order that they can continue to make headlines, make an impact, and get funding? I reckon it's the latter. Next time you see the "one in four" figure, be very sceptical – it's probably Dickensian-style doom-mongering disguised as social research, where the aim is to convince us, against the evidence of our own eyes and ears, that loads of the people we encounter everyday are basket cases in need of rescue.
