Kicking off 2020, here are the top stories covered by DocWire News this week in the Homepage section. In this week&rsquo;s edition of the round-up: children who drink whole milk are less likely to become obese; insecticide exposure linked to all-cause mortality; and there exists a link between car assembly closures and opioid-related deaths.Children who consume whole milk have a 40%&nbsp;<a href="https://www.docwirenews.com/docwire-pick/home-page-picks/people-with-obesity-enjoy-their-food-more-than-others/">lower chance</a>&nbsp;of obesity, according to a study published in&nbsp;The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The researchers wrote that &ldquo;In our review, children following the current recommendation of switching to reduced-fat milk at age two were not leaner than those consuming whole milk.&rdquo;Insecticide exposure is&nbsp;<a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/article-abstract/2757789">associated with</a>&nbsp;an increased risk of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.docwirenews.com/docwire-pick/nephrology-picks/postdialysis-hypokalemia-and-all-cause-mortality-in-patients-on-hemodialysis/">all-cause</a>&nbsp;and cardiovascular disease mortality, according to the findings of a study published in&nbsp;JAMA Internal Medicine. In this nationally representative cohort study, researchers assessed 2,116 adults (51.6% women) aged 20 years and older (mean age, 42) who participated in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which took place from 1999 to 2002. During a follow-up period of approximately 14.4 years the researchers observed 246 deaths occurred, including 41 associated with cardiovascular disease and 52 associated with cancer.There exists a link between an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.docwirenews.com/home-page-editor-picks/risk-of-opioid-overdose-high-following-medical-treatment/">increase</a>&nbsp;in opioid overdose deaths and car assembly plant closures, according to the&nbsp;<a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2757788">findings</a>&nbsp;a new study published today in the journal&nbsp;JAMA Internal Medicine. &ldquo;Fading economic opportunity has been hypothesized to be an important factor associated with the US opioid overdose crisis,&rdquo; the research authors wrote in their abstract. &ldquo;Automotive assembly plant closures are culturally significant events that substantially erode local economic opportunities.&rdquo;
