New Hormone Therapy Study Finds Risk of Breast Cancer
A study of women by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute of the NIH was halted three years early because researchers found evidence an increased risk of invasive breast cancer as well as increases in other diseases. Larry Mantle explores the findings with Stanford Professor of Medicine Marci Stefanik and Dr. Leslie Ford.
Does Fat Make You Fat?
For years Americans have been told that to maintain a healthy heart and lose weight they should eat carbohydrates and avoid fat. But Americans are fatter that ever, obesity is epidemic and Type 2 Diabetes is rising sharply in US, so maybe these recommendations are wrong. Larry Mantle speaks with science writer Gary Taubes about his article "What if Fat Doesn't Make You Fat?" that appeared in the New York Times Magazine last Sunday.
Marriage and Money
Marriage is as much a financial partnership as a union of hearts and minds. For better or for worse money is a source of stress for couples and can be a catalyst for divorce. Larry takes calls from listeners to discuss money management conflicts that arise in relationships.
