Vaccinating Against Herpes Simplex Viruses—Herpes Simplex
Virus (HSV) causes herpes--a common illness involving
recurrent oral or genital skin lesions. There is no effective
vaccine to prevent herpes, andantiviral drugs reduce symptoms
but do not eradicate the virus. In a report in the August 4 JCI
Insight, Betsy Herold, M.D., andWilliam Jacobs, Jr., Ph.D., co-
senior authors, and colleagues demonstrate that a new vaccine
candidate developed in their labs (DgD-2) protected mice
infected by genetically diverse strains of HSV-1 and HSV-2 that
were provided by Amy Fox, M.D., at the Clinical Virology Lab of
Montefiore. The vaccine induces antibodies that rapidly clear
the virus from the skin before it can establish latency and persist
in the body.

5. Searching for Consensus on
“Healthy” Foods
Get 10 registered dietitian/nutritionists (RDNs) in a room and
the chance of us “talking shop” is virtually 100 percent. While
there’d be a robust debate about some subjects, we’d all agree
that the question we get more than any other from the public is,
“Is this healthy?” and various iterations of the same.
Many consumers have definite ideas about what’s healthy and
what’s not. So do nutritionists. According to a survey recently
conducted by the New York Times that contrasted responses of
the public and members of the American Society of
Nutritionists, a professional organization, the two groups
frequently disagree about whether a food is “healthy.”
