"KAD", a clay derivative mineral found in
Australia, could eat up the world's toxic metal pollution.
Combined university researchers (University of
Queensland and the Australian National University) produced the new
material as an alternative to expensive "clever" chemicals in
removing heavy metals including lead, copper and cadmium in solution.

Two important groups of nutrients found in breast
milk but not in any commercial infant formula may hold the key to why
breast-fed babies appear brainier, according to a Sydney paediatrician,
Dr. Patricia McVeagh.
In The Lancet last year, the results of a published
study of 300 eight year old children who had been born prematurely
showed that most of those who had been breast-fed had "significant
IQ advantage". Dr. McVeagh said for those children who received
breast milk, the study had showed they had an average eight-point IQ
advantage over the formula fed premature babies.
