Check out these stories ...

* Mouthwash helps eliminate bad breath. No, it makes the stink worse. Does not. Does too. Newsweek looks beyond the posturing by various products to explore what oral rinses can and can’t do.

* When she fell getting off a doctor’s examination table and needed assistance to right herself again, Danielle Carter was mortified. The New Jersey woman resolved to lose weight -- and she did, dropping 248 pounds in a year. USA Today tells her story.

* Afraid of saying the wrong thing ... in yoga class? It’s understandable. Even the basic ‘Om’ is rarely used outside studio walls. But Yoga Journal doesn’t want you to feel intimidated, alienated or any other -ated that might get in the way of a yoga practice. Here’s what ‘Om’ -- and other chants -- mean and, almost as important (for some), how to pronounce them.

These are just some of the stories available. Feel free to send in your own worthy links (unless you stand to make money off the publicity).
