It’s Surprisingly Eas...

This may not surprise you, I don’t know; it surprised me: I was visiting California for one week and I had no trouble purchasing medical marijuana . Maybe I shouldn’t say “no trouble”—I spent some money, told a few minor lies and had an embarrassing encounter involving Burger King coupons. Overall, though, it was surprisingly easy to get a doctor’s letter saying I could purchase prescription weed in Los Angeles. I was staying with friends in Venice Beach. My...

Love manicures and pedicures? You could be treating yourself to more than a little pampering—the nail polish used at salons can be full of nasty ingredients and carcinogens.

Dental X-Rays Linked To...

My dentist must hate me. Every time I go and she wants to do X-rays, I refuse. Nope, I don’t want them, they can’t be good for you, I don’t want that radiation in my body. To which she responds by trying to tell me it’s perfectly safe and can help detect any issues. Unless there’s a problem that you can see, I’m not budging, I say .

According to the findings, in Olmstead County, Minnesota, rates of cutaneous melanoma in women aged 18 to 39 had “increased by 8-fold.” And, the researchers theorized, it’s due in large part to  indoor tanning , a practice that has been consistently linked with premature aging and skin cancer .  But that didn’t stop the ...

You know those birth control commercials that try to convince you that you can’t possibly remember to take the Pill every day, so instead you should opt for the “once every three month” injection? Well, according to new research , one of these contraceptive shots–the depo-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA)–may spare you an unwanted pregnancy from forgetting to take the Pill, but it could double your chances of getting breast cancer.
