Most childhood lying does not lead to serious problems in adulthood, and only certain kinds of lying behaviour is associated with later psychological or legal issues, a new study has found.

For most, lying is not a problem behaviour.”

Of more than 2,500 blood proteins screened, a small group may drive MS and signal who will develop it
