Internet usage linked to depression in clinical study

National Post - People who spend a lot of time surfing the Internet are more likely to show signs of depression, British scientists said on Wednesday.
But it is not clear whether the Internet causes depression or whether depressed people are drawn to it.

Flawed autism study retracted

Toronto Star – The anti-vaccine movement lost steam Tuesday after the world's leading medical journal officially retracted a controversial autism study that has caused millions of parents around the world to fear childhood vaccines.
The study, published in 1998 in the British journal The Lancet, was the first to report a purported link between a vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella and the onset of autism. That reported association, since discredited, formed the crux for the argument that MMR vaccines can cause autism, and many in the anti-vaccine movement used the paper as proof of their claims.

Crackdown on 'No. 1 drug'
Ontario gets strict with OxyContin prescriptions

By JOE WARMINGTON

Toronto Sun - Tired of the deaths, crime, duplicity and misery, the ministry of health will soon install strict new guidelines in how the "highly addictive" painkiller OxyContin is both prescribed and dispensed, the Sun has learned.
With a new multi-layered strategy which includes modern Internet watchdog technology, the Ontario government is about to declare war on those behind one of this province's dirtiest little secrets.
"There will be some significant changes taking place," says Helen Stevenson, assistant deputy minister and executive officer on Ontario's Public Drug Program.
"The letters from families who lost a child are heartbreaking. We have done a thorough look and this is, most definitely, an increasing and substantial public safety problem."
Who is hooked on this prescription drug?
Addiction counsellor Mark Elliot, who runs Intervention Toronto and hosts People Helping People on Newstalk 1010, says look around you.
It could be in your own home, classroom, place of worship or work.  More...
