exposure, they are considers safe. on a soccer field, goalkeepers, more than any other player roll around on the turf every practice. >> you end up ingesting the crum rubber by accident. it's unavoidable. >> reporter: he reached out to coach griffin. now he's on the list, names they gather of soccer players who have developed different times of cancer, 38 altogether, 34 of them are goalkeepers a. list is not scientific proof. there is no research wage linking crum rubber exposure to cancer. >> mr. of them are lymph-related cancers. there are others in there, too. what i would say is that in general it's very difficult to study the environment, the relationship between environmental exposure and cancer. >> reporter: no available studies replicate goalkeeper's playing conditions, but many researchers, states and localitys defend the turf safety. david lee has a ph.d. in chemistry and sits on the turf

board. >> there is certainly a preponderance of evidence to this point that said it is safe. >> reporter: an nbc news investigation put that assertion to the test, gathering available studies and speaking with pediatricians, scientists and advocacy groups who say more research should be done. >> turf fields come with a number of real risks and a number of real benefits and every community that's based with deciding what they want to put in has to kind of weigh in the different risks and benefits for that situation. >> reporter: among the available studies the synthetic turf council points to was one done by the e in 2009. the agency, itself, describes the conclusions as limited. nbc news repeatedly requested an interview. after several e-mails and two phone calls, the e refused. in a statement, a spokesperson says the use of crum rubber remains a state and local decision and more testing feeds to be done. well, if more research needs to be done, why are we allowing our

children to play on this surface? >> sure. more research can always be done. the question is whether or not the synthetic turf is safe. we got 14 studies on our website that says we can find no negative health effects. >> reporter: pro athletes and school kids alike are playing on more than 5,000 crum rubber fields around the country. new york city parks and los angeles schools no longer install the surface, citing multiple health concerns. other cities with the turch say it's cheaper and more durable than grass and provides more outdoor space for kids to play. sullivan wants his girls to play soccer burks he worries about their exposure to crum rubber. >> our oldest is four-years-old. she started playing soccer. i wouldn't want her to be a goalkeeper. >> anybody that has a kid has seen this stuff. you were talking about it. soccer football, whatever the sport s. there is no medical connection right now between these people getting sick and the turf they are playing on. this is a calm for more research

we are back in 15 seconds. the latest stats show more than one-third of adults in the u.s. are obese. new research shows that's due in part to the more than 200 subconscious food choices that we make every day. i recently met with an expert who says reprograming your mind in very simple ways might help you win the battle of the bulge.

>> reporter: it's a common belief you need to tackle the mind if you want to successfully tackle the belly, but how do you do that? enter food psychologist and behavioral economist brian wansick. what is a food psychologist? >> a food psychologist is somebody who studies eating behavior with the subjective to come up with solutions to help people eat a little less and enjoy fruit a whole lot more. >> reporter: he literally wrote the book on "mindless eating," now in his latest offering, "slim by design," and helps us master those environments. >> we want to think we are master of our influence? we are not. the lighting in the room, what noise we here is by your own volition. >> reporter: can you show me the choices i can make during the course of the day? >> yeah, let's do it. >> reporter: americans buy and eat 80% of their food within 5 miles of where they live. it's a concept he calls your food radius.

even though i'm a healthy eater, the food market is my downfall. i always walk in hungry. >> it's where the best and worst eating habits begin here. we will pop a piece of gum. >> reporter: why the gum? >> here is why. so we don't pick up one of these. >> reporter: this will help you do this? >> yes. what we found in our study chewing gum reduces the appeal. you can't really imagine the crunchiness and tastiness when you are chewing gum. >> reporter: he says divide the cart if two, leaving the biggest section in front for fruits. start in the produce aisle first. >> bring the salad out first and then bring out the pasta. >> reporter: you tell that to my 1-year-old. i'm an apple loving guy. filling the smaller cart of your section last. are we ready for aisle two yet? >> i am a massive cereal lover. >> reporter: we haven't left much room for anything nonproduce. >> there is divided. instead of three box, i will get

just one or two. >> reporter: let's check it out. brian, i brought you to our "today" show offices. do not steal any of our secrets. we don't have any. because you say there is something we do in the office that is a total no-no. >> so many people are doing it. >> what's the biggest problem here? sorry, matt. >> the thing about eating at your desk, you tend to pay attention to what you eat. you tend to eat more and you don't enjoy the food as much. >> reporter: research shows people who eat away from their desks are slimmer, happier, more productive. don't tell me i have to stop eating at my favorite restaurants? >> no way. >> reporter: are you sure? it starts by choosing the right table. >> there are fat tables in the restaurant and skinny tables. >> reporter: please, show me a skinny table. what makes a fat table? something dark in the back near a tv and often a booth. >> you are going to order a lot

more dessert and more fried food and more to drink. >> reporter: why a skinny table? >> it's well lit. okay. the prime is self discipline and awareness. statistically you are twice as likely to order a salad. half as as likely to order dessert. >> reporter: finally the rule of two. >> you can have a cola, an appetizer, a piece of bread and you can have a dessert. you just can't have everything. to good health. >> reporter: absolutely. and he was having diet soda, no less. a couple of interesting tips here. clean the clutter from your kitchen. people with a cluttered kitchen are more prone to mindless eating. people with snacks on the counter are more likely to mindlessly snack. one study showed people who keep boxes of cereal on the counter, ready for this? they weigh up to 21 pounds more than their neighbor. brian stopped by my house. i may have had a box or two on the counter. 21 pounds is a lot. you don't think about that making a choice of moving the

cereal boxes from your counter. >> i can't sit in a booth. that's my go-to move. >> three-and-a-half minutes of television. that was your takeaway? i love it. >> are there members of the "today" show staff you didn't expose? >> no, sorry about. that not really. not really sorry. >> for more tips to eat less every day, head to today.com. thanks. let's head out to tamron. >> everyone out here is all smiles. just the excitement level is immeasurable, guys. we are counting down to the big performance of the day. they just kicked off a brand-new tour. we are so excited to welcome to the plaza the band, that is fleetwood mac! with us christine mcvie and stevie nicks and lindsay buckingham and good morning to all of you!

mean for you? >> it's almost like it's hard to really believe that she actually ever left because she came back and she just threw herself into it in such a strong and confident way that it was like really, almost like it was a parallel universe that maybe we left. i'm not sure. you know, it's like, i hear her count off songs, it's like the 16 years she was gone didn't exist. >> wow. >> we didn't really know what to expect when she came back. she came back stronger than all of us. so it was crazy. >> well it's amazing lindsay, sold out shows, madison square garden. to stevie's point, it's as if those 16 years in some way did not exist. how is it for you? >> well, you know, it was, there were a set of unknowns going into it and everything has just come back better than ever. you know, it really feels very

much like a beautiful, profound poetic new chapter for this band. it's something that's going to go on for quite some time. >> and, john, i mentioned that you guys are night owls. how do you get pumped up or how do you get motivated this time of the morning? is it all about the career? >> it's about, obviously the people and a lot of coffee, too. >> a lot of coffee. did we give you good coffee? >> yes, okay. >> we got to work on our "today" show coffee. of course, mick, your full fabulousness the red shoes the scarf! being back with this crew, being back with these bands, how do you describe it? >> like lindsay said, and stevie, all of us are overjoyed at this lovely lady's return to

the ranks of fleetwood mac! a very good morning to you. it is 8:26, i'm laura garcia-cannon. we are following breaking news this morning. there are major system wide bart delays because of police activity. mike tracking all this for us this morning. >> we just got an update over the bart advisory system and it says they are recovering now from major system delays, so there are still delays, but trains it sounds like are moving once again through the west oakland station where they had held things for police activity. we're following what that is in the news center. for now, the activity on the roadways may increase. already a slow drive approaching the bay bridge as you're well aware. more traffic through oakland, but so far things are holding up to a slow thursday commute all around the bay.

san mateo bridge more traffic as folks head in towards the peninsula. southbound with north 280, tougher drive this morning into cupertino, quick look at oakland, good flow of traffic past the coliseum. watching, again, for the flow to change, may see more folks heading through the area, but bart trains are moving, recovering from delays. >> so they are back and moving again. all right, expect some delays wherever you may be heading this morning. we'll have another local news update for you in half an hour or so at 8:55. hope to see you then.
