Mon, 30 Jan 2012 11:36:38 GMT

To understand why most people don't need a statin drug, you first need to realize that cholesterol is NOT the cause of heart disease.

Sunscreens: Helpful or Harmful?

Thu, 30 Jun 2011 09:21:03 GMT

When it comes to sunscreens, most people would say that they are an absolute must in this day and age.
