A recently released study sheds further light on the bias against Mormons, attitudes that some say could affect Republican presidential-nomination hopeful Mitt Romney.

The scientific poll from Vanderbilt University found "a significantly more intense" bias against Mormons than that against blacks or women.

On the heels of the study, Romney defended his Mormon beliefs and religious values during a Dec. 6 speech in San Francisco, saying his religion would not influence presidential decisions.

Tiffany Love learned her feet could fly as a kid, and, oh, the places they've taken her since.

It's what paid her way through college. It's why she, as Mrs. Tennessee International 2008, has embraced the issue of stamping out childhood obesity. And it's what she continues to do every day — somehow fitting it around her full-time job as a Vanderbilt University Medical Center psychiatric social worker — in hopes of making the U.S. Olympic track and field team.

Honey may be a viable option for treating cough associated with upper respiratory tract infections (URIs) in children, according to the results of a randomized study reported in the December 3 issue of the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.

"Parents of children over age 1 year seeking to relieve the cough and sleep difficulty associated with colds should consider trying honey," lead author Ian M. Paul, MD, MSc, an associate professor of pediatrics and public health sciences at the College of Medicine, Pennsylvania State University, Hershey, tells Medscape Pediatrics.
