From there it's a tour through the week's health headlines which include public debates about potential side effects of hormonal birth control, the "you're moving wrong" pain-and-posture fearmongering, a confused New York Post piece treating teen creatine use as a gateway drug, and a list of "parenting mistakes that shorten your kids' lives," among others.
