      A mysterious illness that has killed tens of thousands of Tasmanian devils is caused by cancerous tumors that are spread by ferocious squabbling among the carnivorous marsupials, according to research published Thursday. The resemblance to Republican leadership - a coincidence.

    Nothing new here, except the more exotic the better it seems. Make sure to eat your fruits and vegetables…

    Medication errors common in kids with cancer - Cancer

    I know I’m biased, but I really believe my hospital must have much better rates than this. We have some pretty hard-core quadruple-checking mechanisms in place. It’s possible to reduce medical errors, but it’s more difficult in smaller community hospitals where they are not dealing with such large volumes of patients and standardization is less of a reality.

    Suppressed report shows cancer link to GM potatoes

    Strange story – it’s a Russian study .. sorry if I’m skeptical … but the suppression must have been for a reason (not a good reason).

    GMO is a disaster.

    The Naked Truth: Cancer Organizations Reject Stripper Donations

    I agree Tim, interesting story. I still have a problem with strip clubs though. I am just skeptical that the majority of dancers don’t have a history of physical and sexual abuse…that leads them there… I have a hard time believing that strip clubs are filled with well adjusted women just looking to earn money and enjoy their work.

    The story also raised interesting issues related to nonprofits accepting donations from some groups conditional to not accepting donations from others. I think that’s a poor precedent.
