Open your fridge. How many sauces are in there? There’s probably ketchup and mustard, but maybe also mayonnaise, hot sauce, green and red salsas, queso, sriracha, vinaigrette dressings, and if you’re a true Midwesterner, at least several types of ranch. If you’re passionate about food, it’s hard to keep sauces — or the rest of their larger product category of condiments, including dips, dressings, and more — from slowly taking over your kitchen.

I’m a former nurse and recovering alcoholic, and I’ve been concerned by the lack of health education given to the general public about the dangers of mixing alcohol with certain medications. The common practice is to place warnings on medications that they should not be combined with alcohol. Although some doctors will provide warnings and some education, they often don’t because education takes up a lot of time in a busy healthcare environment. Plus, many doctors underestimate the ability of patients to retain education. Lastly, discussing this may prompt people to stop taking their vital medications so it becomes a risk/benefit issue.

Opinion: Why You Shouldn’t Mix These Medications With Alcohol

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.

Opinion: Stop Stereotyping Bad Teeth as a Sign of Drug Addiction
