) Women Suffer Needlessly from Confusion about Hormones
These include acne, high blood pressure, excessive and coarse facial and body hair, deepening voice, polycystic ovary syndrome, weight gain, and unstable blood sugar levels.
Hormone drug products are usually chosen to be prescribed by traditional doctors. Since they get most of their product information from drug companies, they were sold on hormone drugs as the solution for their patients' complaining of symptoms that reflect declining hormone levels. Following the release of the Women's Health Initiative, many women refused to continue taking hormone drugs and completely discontinued all hormone therapy. As pharmaceutical companies began to feel the pinch, they made the shift away from producing hormone drugs toward production of bioidentical hormones, although many hormone drugs are still widely available and the first choice of many doctors who have yet to learn about bioidenticals.

) The burning question: Should abortion be illegal? Anti-
What if you were on a medication, like some acne medications, that could cause horrifying birth defects? What if having the child could physically kill you because of a medical condition like Type 1 Diabetes? Fewer women are getting abortions, and abortion rates have been falling since their peak at 1990, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Most abortions are performed before nine weeks, not in the second or third trimester. And most women who have abortions are not choosing to do it because they are selfish — they are genuinely concerned about caring for the baby. Three-quarters of women who have abortions are worried about being able to afford the child. Children, especially babies, are expensive. They need clothes, food, diapers and potentially a baby sitter so the mother can get back to work to afford the clothes and food. More>> - (
) Glasgow Comedy Festival - Rob Brydon
Under the Bruce Forsyth jawline and what he describes as ‘Olympic acne' the man just has funny bones. Fact.In Brydon's world, the losers are the real heroes. The pathetic, the blissfully irony-free, the nice guy that always finishes last – Brydon's comedy taps into that goldmine of gimps, geeks and nerds. His humour comes with a dark edge, where we feel as much pity as affection for the kind-hearted runts he plays.
In the past, Brydon has admitted he prefers the straight man in a double act. Backing the underdog, Brydon instinctively likes the less cool one, the one quietly teeing up shots so the other guy can shoot them straight out of sight. He prefers Dud over Pete, or Ronnie Corbett over Ronnie Barker, and in his own relationship with Steve Coogan, seems more comfortable playing the ass-kisser of the pair, despite now being a bona fide star in his own right.
