Houseplants can be finicky. Between finding the right room temperature, sunlight exposure and humidity, you may have a different regimen for each stem in your house. While you may think that your browning leaves come from overwatering, they may actually come from the type of water that you’re using. Just like the amount of sunlight
It’s a tough time for Grape-Nuts fans. The beloved cereal, which has been an American breakfast staple for more than 100 years, is now impossible to find in stores. If you’ve been missing your morning fix of wheat and barley crumbles, you’re not alone. Healthy cereal enthusiasts across the country are all wondering the same
Guacamole is capable of starting fights. Not actual fights with guacamole (at least as far as we know), but about guacamole. Perhaps matched only by the “is a hot dog a sandwich?” debate and “do you like Hawaiian pizza?” eternal question—how to make the best guacamole is a contentious and often personal debate. To (attempt
Sometimes, too much of a good thing can turn out to be bad. This is certainly the case for the excessive cell growth found in cancer. But when cancers try to grow too fast, this excessive speed can cause a type of cellular aging that actually results in arrested growth. Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School
A new study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute is the first to examine the opinions and experiences of clinical oncologists working at a major medical center on the Federal Right to Try (RTT) law. Enacted in 2018, the Federal RTT law was created as a new and parallel pathway to the
From loaves of freshly baked bread to hearty soups and stews, we’ve all been spending a lot more time cooking in the past few months. That means that, while we are enjoying the tasty results of our new cooking chops, we have noticed that some of our cookware isn’t quite up to snuff. Well, it
Have you ever appreciated teachers more than you do this year? And yet on this National Teacher Appreciation Day (or Teacher Appreciation Week, as some have made it), there is so much missing. For one thing, we’re not able to show our appreciation in person. Our school’s PTA normally puts together a huge lunch for
Of all the most hated kitchen tasks, squeezing a lemon ranks somewhere below mincing garlic and above chopping an onion. This is largely due to the fact that lemon seeds, tricky little buggers that they are, have a propensity to leap from the pulp of the fruit and into whatever vessel you’re using to collect
Five years after having an abortion, over 95 percent of the women in a landmark UC San Francisco study said it was the right decision for them. The findings, published Sunday, Jan. 12, 2020, in Social Science & Medicine, come as many states are requiring waiting periods and counseling for women seeking abortions, based on
Now that Halloween is behind us, it’s time to untangle those Christmas lights and take inventory of your holiday platters. It’s also that time of the year to indulge in those classic holiday flavors: pumpkin, pecan, cinnamon spice, sweet potato, cranberry, and cornbread, just to name a few. And lucky for us, Aldi has plenty
The second biggest food holiday (Thanksgiving, of course, being the first) is a mere two days — the fourth of July. We can practically smell the sizzling barbeque and sweet summer cocktails already. But before you reach for the same old recipes you’ve been making for years, let us tempt you with tantalizing new twists
In 2009 I broke the law in NSW and had an abortion. It was not a decision I made lightly. I discovered I was pregnant and carrying the child of my then-boyfriend, who was someone I deeply cared for. But we weren’t in love. At 27, I was at an age when many women I
You have to be careful about to whom you profess your love of summer squash. Tell the wrong person about the pleasurable tingling you receive when you think about patty pans, zucchini, and yellow squash coming into season and they might question how much time and effort they’re putting into a relationship with you. But
Aldi has quickly become one of our go-to spots for stocking up on snacks, now that the European chain is rapidly expanding into the US (by 2022 they’ll have almost 2,500 stores here in the US). When you’re at Aldi, you can expect to find great deals on bulk items, specialty foods, and both American
Yes, we spend most of our days looking at recipes online and drooling over food photos on Instagram. But we still have a big soft spot for classic IRL cookbooks. They line our bookshelves, are piled on our kitchen counter and, if we’re being honest, litter our desks. A good cookbook is about more than

Each year in the United States, more than 140,000 people are diagnosed with colon cancer, and about 50,000 die from the disease. It’s the second-leading cause of cancer death in the country.
Frying a turkey isn’t really the traditional method of cooking a Thanksgiving bird, but it does give it an awesome crispy skin and juiciness through the roof. Still, a lot of us seem to avoid the whole deep-frying situation because of the terrifying tales of Thanksgiving Day explosions — and the fact that the process requires

Hand, foot and mouth disease is in the news with Yankees pitcher J.A. Happ becoming the second Major League Baseball pitcher afflicted in recent weeks.
