  5. Antidepressants: A help or hindrance to those facing surgery?

    About 11% of Americans over age 12 take an antidepressant, making the drugs the most widely used medication in the United States.

  7. Aerobic exercise as breast cancer prevention: Evidence mounts

    There's a fair amount of circumstantial evidence that regular exercise reduces a woman's risk of developing breast cancer. But contradictory findings, and lingering questions as to how physical activity would work to ward off breast cancer, have clouded the picture, apparently leaving some women on the couch, waiting for that scientific fog to lift.
