Since 2006, students at Lincoln University near Philadelphia have been required to take a class called "Fitness for Life" to graduate. The catch: not all students have to take the class. If a student's Body Mass Index (BMI) is below 30, he or she is exempt. (A normal BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9) But for students whose BMI is over 30, the class is mandatory. It meets 3 hours a week and involves physical activity as well as information on nutrition, stress, and sleep. University officials say they're being proactive and addressing the issue of obesity head-on. But some students say its discrimination based on weight. What do you think? Is it fair for this university to require students with high BMIs to take a fitness course? Post your comments here, and Heidi will read some of them in the Newsroom, from 9-11am ET.

Most women should start regular breast cancer screenings at age 50, not 40, according to new guidelines released by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. The new recommendations do not apply to the group of women with unusual risk factors. The group says women ages 50 to 74 should have mammograms less frequently – every two years, rather than every year. And the panel says breast self-exams do no good, and women shouldn't be taught to do them. What do you think of the new guidelines? And if you are a woman, is this new information a relief or a source of added stress? Post your comments here, and Heidi will read some of them in the Newsroom, from 9-11am ET |
