If you have too many pills, you will probably be safer eliminating OTC supplements, which are generally unregulated by the FDA. Recent reports have shown cough syrups contaminated with benzene and turmeric with heavy metals. Now PainFlex is shown to have a powerful steroid and prescription strength muscle relaxer. Buyer beware!

Mice administer CPR to anesthetized fellow mice, including pulling the tongue forward in mimicry of the "jaw thrust" in human CPR. Helping each other seems natural and an instinct we could pay more attention to!

They are quite prevalent, especially in cheese spreads, ice creams, margarines, creamers, and processed meats. Good rules of thumb are don't eat anything your great grandparents didn't eat, anything with more than 3 ingredients, or anything with names you can't pronounce!

Emulsifiers are ubiquitous because they are cheap and increase food products' stability, but recent studies have linked them to health risks such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers, prompting FDA scrutiny of food additives.
