A proposed constitutional amendment that could go before voters this fall would triple the taxes on a pack of cigarettes in Colorado, in the hopes of persuading more people never to start smoking. The measure — currently dubbed Proposed Initiative 143 — would add an extra $1.75-per-pack tax to the 84 cents-per-pack tax that smokers in Colorado already pay. It would also increase taxes on other tobacco products such as cigars or chewing tobacco by 22 percent. In total, the measure is expected to..>> view original4 in 10 highly rated sunscreens don't meet American Academy of Dermatology guidelines

What led to the abrupt fall of FluMist, until recently the preferred alternative to the injectable influenza vaccine for younger children? No one is quite sure, but there were hints of trouble for the past three flu seasons. In June, an advisory panel to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention decided that the nasal spray was so ineffective that it should not be used by anyone during the 2016-2017 flu season. Just two years ago, after reviewing several studies from 2006-2007 that suggest..>> view originalGenetically Modified Mosquitoes Could Stop Zika

Yesterday, I cringed while opening Aaron E. Carroll’s piece for the New York Times’ Upshot titled, “Helpless to Prevent Cancer? Actually, Quite a Bit Is in Your Control.” I wanted to know; but I didn’t want to know. Was there something I could have done to prevent developing breast cancer two years ago at the age of 31? I don’t normally ask that question because it’s irrelevant. I’m focused on living my best life and doing what I can to prevent a recurrence. Yet people who are confronted with y..>> view original
