When a pregnant woman goes into early labor, her obstetrician may give her drugs to quiet the woman's uterus and prevent premature birth.

New research shows, however, that one popular drug works no better than a placebo at maintaining pregnancy after the initial bout of preterm labor is halted, say scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine, Lucile Packard Children's Hospital and Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. The new trial is the first-ever placebo-controlled test of nifedipine, a muscle relaxant originally developed to lower blood pressure, and its effect on premature delivery with prolonged treatment.

Thanksgiving is just one of those pesky holidays that we justify our overindulgence. After all, turkey is healthy right? While you may think that canned cranberry jam and buttery mashed potatoes are good for you because they contain, well, cranberries and potatoes, they can actually be the reason you make that New Years Resolution next month to join the gym.

There are some good eats on that Thanksgiving table, but the most delicious always tends to be the worst for you. Instead of skimping out on all your favorite foods this year, here's a helpful list of tips you can incorporate into your thanksgiving meal that may have your guests a little more thankful this year (and can help you cut those extra calories you've been trying to avoid too!)
