NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – New research shows children of working mothers are just as happy later in life as children of stay-at-home moms. But as CBS2’s Cindy Hsu reports, the study found it affects boys and girls differently. The Harvard study involved more than 100,000 men and women from 29 countries. For daughters of working mothers, results found they’re more likely to be employed, hold supervisor roles, and in the U.S. earn nearly $2,000 more per year and spend an hour less on housework than stay-at-home moms. When it comes to sons of working mothers, the study found they spend an extra 50 minutes a week caring for their own family, tend to choose employed spouses and view workplace gender equality more favorably. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 71 percent of women in the workplace have children who are 18 years old or younger. Meredith Bodgas is one of those moms. She has two young boys who go to day care while she works as editor in chief of Working Mother. “I have a 5-month-old. He’s in day care right now. I’ve heard lots of criticism – How can you put him in day care? What are you doing to him?” she said. She feels her children are flourishing and hopes the study will help with the guilt many working mothers feel. “Working moms should be proud to be working moms,” she said. “They are role modeling that you can be successful on the professional front and still be very close to your children when you’re not there and when you are there.” Bodgas said the bottom line is that happy moms lead to happy grown-ups, whether you work or stay home, as long as you’re engaged and fulfilled. Xochitl Balacios, who works as a housekeeper, was thrilled to hear the results. “I think it’s awesome,” she said. “My mom, she loves me,” said her 6-year-old son. That’s what really counts. The study appeared in the journal Work, Employment and Society.

Study: Children Of Working Moms Better Off Later In Life
New research says children of working mothers are just as happy later in life as the kids of stay-at-home moms. A new study led by a Harvard University professor found daughters of working moms are more likely to advance in their own careers and when the sons of working moms started their own families, they spent 50 minutes more each week caring for them. CBS News contributor Jodi Kantor joins “CBS This Morning” to discuss how this study confirms what we already intuitively know: kids of working moms will be just fine.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) –Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is on the rise and now a new study suggests that might be due to excessive smartphone use. “I’d say half the day, probably, I’m on my phone,” one teen said. It’s no surprise many teens admit to spending too much time on their phones. “Usually when I’m in class I’m always on my phone,” another teen said. A new study suggests that the more teens check social media, stream video, text or simply use their phones–the more likely they are to develop symptoms of ADHD. “In a sample of more than 2,500 Los Angeles area teenagers, and we found indeed, yeah there was a statistically significant link,” said University of Southern California study author Dr. Adam Leventhal. ADHD symptoms include inattention, hyperactivity and restlessness that is more frequent than normal. At its start, the 10th graders in the study had none of those symptoms. For two years the teens kept track of their digital use and those ADHD behaviors. The results, just published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found a “statistically significant but modest association” between the two. 45 percent of the study adolescents admitted to being online, “almost constantly.” The researchers say it’s the “always-on” nature of mobile devices and their frequent notifications, constantly drawing teens’ attention that may be behind the increase in ADHD symptoms. Dr. Leventhal says parents can ease the problem by setting an example. “Don’t use digital media so much in front of them. A lot of us do it and we don’t realize that maybe at the dinner table or other situations–we’re on our device!” said Leventhal. Total screen time, TV and video games for example, did not correlate with increased ADHD because they don’t draw and demand attention the way phones do. Still this is an association not a cause and effect and the increase was just 10 percent.

Study Finds High Cellphone Use May Lead To ADHD In Teens
NEW YORK (CBSNews) — The fallout continued Friday for Papa John’s, as business partners and even universities that have accepted large sums from the pizza chain’s founder scrambled to distance themselves after John Schnatter admitted using a racial slur during a business call. The University of Louisville announced that the school’s football stadium will no longer carry the Papa John’s name. The stadium is to be redubbed “Cardinal Stadium” effective immediately , university president Neeli Bendapudi said Friday. Later that day, Schnatter admitted to using the N-word on a conference call and apologized, but said it was taken out of context. In a radio interview with WHAS in Louisville, Schnatter said he feels “sick” about the incident. Explaining how he came to use the slur, he said was “just talking the way that the Colonel talked,” according to The Associated Press — a reference to the Colonel Sanders of KFC. But “I said it, and it’s wrong,” he told the station. Cutting ties The University of Kentucky, which houses the “John H. Schnatter Institute for the Study of Free Enterprise,” on Friday said it would no longer use Schnatter’s name. “We appreciate Mr. Schnatter’s understanding that his unacceptable language is contrary to the values of the University of Kentucky,” it said on Twitter. However, believing that maintaining ties with him would create a “barrier,” the statement said, “neither the Gatton College of Business and Economics nor the Institute will recognize Mr. Schnatter in any way.” Schnatter helped found the center in 2005 with a he made an $8 million gift to the school. The Charles Koch Foundation contributed $4 million to help start the center. Even Papa John’s Pizza is moving to distance itself from the man who started the company. The chain on Friday said it was pulling Schnatter’s image from its marketing materials. It also plans to launch a listening tour and hire an outside auditor on matters of inclusion, it said. “We want to regain trust, though I know we need to earn it,” CEO Steve Ritchie said in a statement. Papa John’s does not plan to change its name, according to the Associated Press. The face of the company Schnatter has long been the face of the Papa John’s brand, and the company has acknowledged in regulatory filings that its business could be hurt if his reputation was damaged. That scenario seemed to play out last year after Schnatter blamed disappointing pizza sales on the outcry surrounding NFL players kneeling during the national anthem. At the time Papa John’s was an NFL sponsor. He resigned as CEO soon after. This week, Schnatter stepped down from his role as chairman of the board of the pizza chain. He remains the company’s largest shareholder, however, owning about 30 percent of Papa John’s shares. Sports teams are also pulling the plug on partnerships with Papa John’s in wake of Schnatter’s comments. The New York Yankees said on Friday they were ending their relationship with the franchise. “In response to the reprehensible remarks made by Papa John’s founder and owner, the New York Yankees are suspending their relationship with the company,” the MLB team said on Twitter . Previously, the Miami Marlins said they were ending their relationship with the chain, including ending a promotional deal and closing the Papa John’s concession stand at Marlins Park, according to the Miami Herald . The Tampa Bay Rays made a similar move on Thursday, ending a promotion offering fans half-price pizza after a game in which the team scored six or more runs. Also on Friday, the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United of Major League Soccer said they are suspending their partnerships with Papa John’s and reexamining the relationship, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution . “The divisive comments made and acknowledged by the company’s founder are reprehensible and do not align with our core values,” AMB Sports and Entertainment, a group representing the franchises, said in a statement. Hometown fallout Fallout from the incident is having local repercussions as well. Schnatter’s hometown of Jeffersonville, Indiana, is putting distance between itself and the man it once called a “hometown hero.” The mayor of Jeffersonville, Mike Moore, returned a $400,000 donation from Schnatter to restore the Nachand Fieldhouse , a historic gym. Schnatter had pledged $800,000 to renovate the building, which also carried his name until earlier this week . “I’m not going to allow that name with those comments to be attached to anything in the city of Jeffersonville,” Moore told CBS News affiliate WLKY. “An $800,000 gift to the city of Jeff is enormous, but the city of Jeff is worth more than $800,000. It’s not for sale,” Moore said. Schnatter is also a frequent donor to Republican candidates in Kentucky and nationwide. (© 2018 CBS Interactive Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Yankees Cut Ties With Papa Johns Over Founder’s Comments
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — How often do you wash that dish towel hanging in your kitchen? Probably not nearly enough, according to a new study. Not many people smell their dish towels, but a funky aroma is probably a warning sign that yours may be harboring some nasty bacteria. “Routinely, we don’t wash those towels as often as we do other apparel of daily use around the house,” said Dr. Frank Esper at the Cleveland Clinic. “Usually those towels can last there for weeks, if not even longer. And so they were testing exactly how much bacteria has accumulated on those towels and they’re finding a substantial amount of bacteria.” The testing Dr. Frank Esper is referring to is a study presented last month at the American Society for Microbiology Meetings. Researchers collected 100 kitchen towels after one month of use. About half contained bacterial growth such as E. coli and staph. That’s concerning because bacteria found on multi-use kitchen towels after handling meat products could be a source of cross-contamination, which could lead to food poisoning. You should wipe down and sanitize food preparation areas often, especially after preparing uncooked meat. “It’s never going to be completely zero-bacteria at all. Just a moderate amount of bacteria, making sure that we change the towels, which was the whole subject of the study, but also, swabbing the tables every so often with bleach or some sort of disinfectant,” said Esper. Don’t forget to clean other parts of the kitchen — like refrigerator door handles, microwave handles and sink faucets, because these places are touched by many and are often touched before consuming food. While bacteria can be hazardous in certain situations, most of the ones that were found on the towels are the kind you would expect to find around the house. So you don’t have to obsess over your kitchen towels, just have them visit the washing machine at least once a week.

Dirty Dish Towels Can Increase Risk For Food Poisoning
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — New research shows who’s most at risk for high blood pressure, and when. The findings show African-Americans are at much higher risk at an earlier age than other groups. High blood pressure is often called a silent killer because it usually has no symptoms until it leads to a heart attack, stroke, or kidney damage. The longer you have it, the more likely it is to cause those deadly problems. Five years ago, Tracy Johnson was at work when she suddenly felt extremely warm. “The nurse on the site checked my blood pressure and it was 220 over 120,” she said. “They sent me straight to the emergency room.” The 46-year-old learned she had high blood pressure, which runs in her family. New research in the Journal of the American Heart Association shows that 75 percent of African-American men and women are likely to develop high blood pressure by age 55, compared to just 55 percent of white men and 40 percent of white women. Experts say blood pressure is a complex health issue. “A part of it relates to the genetic makeup, a part of it relates to diet, lifestyle,” Dr. Gautam Visveswaran from Newark Beth Israel Medical Center said. Research also found that following a diet designed to stop hypertension lowered a person’s risk. Dr. Visveswaran says high blood pressure is preventable. “Incorporate a healthy diet which is low salt, high in fruits and vegetables, get to an exercise program,” he said. “Go to your healthcare provider.” Johnson says she doesn’t eat fried foods, ice cream, or cheese anymore. Even so, she needed surgery three months ago for two blockages in her cardiac arteries, a known consequence of high blood pressure. “When you’re young you think you’re invincible, so I wasn’t worried about that then but I am now,” she said, adding she’s more diligent now about taking her medications, has lost some weight, and is exercising to stay healthy. In the study, having a higher body weight was linked with an increased risk or high blood pressure regardless of race of gender. Most blood pressure can be lowered with medication, but the key is getting it treated once you know you have it.
