Researchers studied postmenopausal women who drank 14 servings of soda per week had a 26% increased risk of a hip fracture. What’s really interesting, however, is that the risk for those who drank about the same amount of caffeine-free soda jumped to 32%. Now, these groups drinking 2 servings per day were compared to women…
I get asked this question a lot from my patients. Some items in your fridge will last longer than others. Foods like hard cheeses, butter, fruit juices, jelly, ketchup, and uncut raw fruits and vegetables will last longer than perishable foods like eggs, fish, meat, and leftovers.

Low levels of a potentially dangerous chemical called N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) have been found in the popular heartburn medication Zantac.

So, if you’re meticulous about cleaning and use chemical solvents – you could be harming your lungs. This is concerning because we rely on proper lung function to pump oxygen…
A group of man-made chemicals known as PFAS refers to per-and polyfluorinated substances. We call these ‘forever chemicals’ because, well, they do just that – they stick around forever. They don’t degrade in the environment and accumulate in the body. We can now find PFAS just about anywhere. They’re used in many products because they…
A UTI (urinary tract infection) leads to 8 million doctor visits each year in the United States making it the second most common type of infection. UTIs are often treated with antibiotics, but a new study from Bulgaria indicates how much water you drink will make a big difference for both reinfection and prevention. The…
For the sake of confidentiality, we don’t know very much about the man who passed away as a result of lung disease and injuries associated with vaping. We know he wan an adult male who died in Michigan. This, unfortunately, raises the death toll from vaping-related complications past the CDC’s latest report of 47. Is…
