Health Notes

Health Notes examines up-to-the-minute health issues, the science behind these issues, and how these issues may affect our daily lives.

We plan to explore current topics such as antibiotics, sunscreen, anti-bacterials, food poisoning, vaccines and vaccinations. Please let us know if there are topics you would like to see included on this list.
