A legal document in California suggests the American Council is why $1 billion in environmental fundraising is failing to convince Americans their food is unsafe. Our president is too modest to agree – but it's a terrific compliment.

Is there gender discrimination in payments made to physicians? Not by Medicare, Medicaid or insurance companies. So why does Doximity, a social network of physicians, say it exists? It all depends on what you're measuring. 

If someone's going to commit mass murder of innocent civilians, it follows that he's going to lie about it. Which is exactly what Bashar al-Assad did when he denied Syria used chemical weapons in the April 4 attack. What revealed the lie? Chemistry.

The 1994 Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act is some kinda shady piece of legislation, one that continues to do damage. You might say were not huge fans. But on the enforcement side, it's great to see that 14 companies have been busted by FDA for selling phony cancer claims. Only $30 billion in revenue now to go after.

Researchers at the University of Iowa have identified two antibodies that, in their words, "blocked tumor creation" in breast cancer and melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. While it's not without reservations, this cancer research is somewhat promising. 

Our oceans, rivers and landfills are getting clogged with plastic bags — especially the kind we get in grocery stores. It's a real problem, since they're not biodegradable.

Traveling to Italy in the near future? You might want to add "get up to date on your measles vaccines" to your to-do list before jetting away. That's due to a new CDC recommendation, since there's an outbreak currently taking place in Europe's pasta-and-wine paradise.
