Health roundup: Kellogg recalls Mini-Wheats cereal

Your Friday morning health roundup:

Mini-Wheat recall: Kellogg Co. has recalled 2.8 million boxes of Mini-Wheats cereal because metal fragments could have gotten into some boxes in a manufacturing glitch. The recalled products include frosted and unfrosted bite size Mini-Wheats in sizes ranging from single bowls to 70-ounce cartons. The boxes have use-by dates between April 2013 and September 2013. The Food and Drug Administration has more details. (Christian Science Monitor)

Lung cancer and smoking: Current smokers get more lung cancer than former smokers and never-smokers. But, once you have lung cancer, does your smoking history make a difference? Yes, says a new study that found never-smokers were more likely to survive with anything except advanced cancer and that former smokers had an advantage over current smokers with advanced cancer, as long as they were younger than 85.

Child-free women: Women without children are not all alike. Those who are child-free by choice are not distressed about not having kids, even if facing pressure from friends and family, a new study shows. But women who have no children for medical reasons are distressed by that fact and by outside pressure, researchers say. (NBC News)

Today's talker: Apparently, computer wizards and film editors can't do everything. The producers of HBO's "Game of Thrones" reportedly are seeking men who have lost legs to appear in a battle scene in Ireland. These guys must be prepared, though, for working conditions that many amputees might find unsettling. A casting notice says they must be "comfortable with filming a scene within the context of a battle where your leg has been injured. Prosthetic makeup will be applied as though your leg has newly been severed. We understand that this is not for everyone." (NBC News)
