Your healthy seafood guide
Picking out fish should be a simple enough task, right? Unfortunately, it’s not as easy as grabbing a fresh-looking cut or some frozen shrimp and never giving it a second thought. These days we wonder: Does it have mercury? How much? What is its country of origin? Is it being overfished? And a new concern: Am I even getting the right fish?

Study paints clearer picture of'NASTy' side effects from well-known heart drug
The uncomfortable and embarrassing facial side effects many patients experience from the drug niacin, which is prescribed to prevent heart disease, typically lead to a high number of patients abandoning the therapy. For decades, researchers looking to alleviate the effects surmised that the greater the redness or warmth, the worse the experience for the patient. However, surprising new research results tell a different story: it is how fast the side effects appear immediately after taking the drug. (Source: ScienceDaily Headlines)

‘ Magic Mushrooms ’ Psychedelic Drug May Ease Anxiety, Depression
NEW YORK (AP) — The psychedelic drug in “magic mushrooms” can quickly and effectively help treat anxiety and depression in cancer patients, an effect that may last for months, two small studies show.
It worked for Dinah Bazer, who endured a terrifying hallucination that rid her of the fear that her ovarian cancer would return. And for Estalyn Walcoff, who says the drug experience led her to begin a comforting spiritual journey.

But first things first. The Brewers Association defines American craft beer as produced by an independently owned brewery i...

Pressed coffee is going mainstream — but should you drink it?
The coffee aficionados in my life seem a little smug these days.

But this hot trend has a cold hard fact you should know about.
