<b>Reuters</b> - NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Cancer patients on Medicaid survive less time after their diagnosis than people with private or no insurance, data from Ohio show. Looking only at highly treatable types of tumors, researchers found Medicaid enrollees were between 1.6 and 2.4 times as likely as other patients to die of their disease within five years. It's unclear exactly how to interpret those findings, but researchers agree they're important.

The answer, it seems, depends on the age of the person being asked, according to a new survey of Americans. For Millennials, people born in the 1980s and 1990s, 62 is considered old, but Generations Xers, whose birth year fell between 1964 to 1970, don't think anyone is old until they reach 71, the Marist poll showed. ...</p><br clear="all"/> </b><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/old-old-depends-age-ask-153258637.html;_ylc=X3oDMTEwdWk1am84BF9TAzIyMDM4Mjc1MjMEZW1haWxJZAMxMzI1MzYxNDEw">Full Story</a></b></font>

<b>Reuters</b> - SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Chinese food safety regulators in the southern city of Shenzhen have found carcinogenic mildew in peanuts and cooking oil, the official Xinhua news agency reported on Friday. The cancer-causing substance, called aflatoxin, triggered public concern this week after milk giant Mengniu Dairy Co Ltd said last weekend its Sichuan plant had destroyed products found by a government quality watchdog to contain it. Aflatoxin occurs naturally in the environment and is produced by certain common types of fungi. It can cause severe liver damage, including liver cancer. ... </b><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/chinese-city-finds-cancer-causing-fungi-food-153110882.html;_ylc=X3oDMTEwdWk1am84BF9TAzIyMDM4Mjc1MjMEZW1haWxJZAMxMzI1MzYxNDEw">Full Story</a></b></font>
