Antibiotics Kill Eighty Thousand Chinese a YearBy Sherry Baker, January 14 2009

Chinese medical experts recently came up with that startling figure after investigating the deaths...

(NewsTarget) There really is a male version of menopause, often called andropause. It is not as pronounced as the menopause experienced by women, but it is none the less real. Men do not like to think about it or talk about it because it makes them seem less manly.
