A diet high in fat—extremely high in fat, that is—has just been shown in a clinical trial to cut seizure frequency in children with severe, drug-resistant epilepsy. It's not a cure, and it's not an easy treatment to stomach, but it works, British researchers reported Friday in the journal Lancet Neurology.

For years, the idea that vaccines cause autism has taken center stage. The rationale is that the mercury used as a preservative (or more specifically, that USED to be used as a preservative) was poisoning the children and interrupting their brain development
