NEWSWEEK: Cover: Kids and the Growing Food Allergy Threat

Today about eleven million Americans suffer from food allergies, and many scientists agree the numbers are climbing. As Senior Writer Claudia Kalb reports in the current issue of Newsweek, peanut allergies-among the most dire-doubled between 1997 and 2002 in children under 5 years old. Allergists say they're now seeing more children with multiple allergies than ever before, not just to 1950s staples such as milk and wheat -- but to global foods we have adopted since, like sesame and kiwi.

More Student Credit Education Needed

Increasingly men and women are seeking graduate and professional degrees as a way to advance their careers -- and the payoff for the additional education is significant. Individuals with a master's degree earn on average one-point-eight million dollars more over their lifetime than that of a high school graduate. At the same time, a new study from Nellie Mae suggests that graduate and professional students also need an ongoing educational lesson on budgeting and managing their money. Older graduate students carry nearly twice as much credit card debt as their younger counterparts, with just 20 percent of all respondents paying off their monthly credit card bills in full each month. http://www.salliemae.com/.

New Survey Reveals Connection Between Mental Health and Productivity in the Workplace

Employers do not address mental health matters in the workplace and many employees don't even understand their current mental health benefits, according to a survey released today by Meritain Health and the Partnership for Workplace Mental Health.

The national study of 411 full-time employees with medical benefits found that employees are keenly aware that stress negatively affects them in the workplace, with 94 percent of respondents reporting that their stress level affects job performance. However, in contrast, 52 percent of employees said their employer does not address stress, work/life balance or mental/behavioral health with employees. Moreover, 40 percent of employees said they aren't aware of what mental/behavioral health benefits are offered by their employer. More than one-third of respondents would be more likely to use their mental/behavioral health benefits if their employer did a better job of promoting them.
