We just recently mentioned that the rate which Americans are being diagnosed with diabetes is climbing at an alarming rate.

Diabetes rates have gone up over 100% over the past 15 years in 18 states!!

As a 350-plus-pound man, someone like Shaq might seem like he's at risk.

But people forget that he's 7'1" and was a world-class athlete!

He only has 13% body fat! That's waaaay less than most people even half his weight!

Shaq wants to do what he can to help fight the obesity epidemic and stop the climbing rates of diabetes.

Check out the video (above) to hear Shaq's take on the diabetes crisis here in the U.S.!

A new scientific study just linked some very random findings!

Apparently, people who have ever had a head injury and who were also exposed to the herbicide paraquat had almost a three times increased risk of developing Parkinson's disease.

UCLA's Fielding School of Public Health took a survey of over 1,000 adults.

Of those people, about 357 had Parkinson's disease.

Those with the disease were twice as likely to have reported a serious head injury that lead to unconsciousness for more than five minutes.

The researchers also found that

Finally! Some good news!

The pace of the meningitis outbreak has been slowing down.

Though don't celebrate just yet.

The numbers have still risen since we last reported them.

There are now 438 cases in 19 states. The death toll is 32.

Around 14,000 people are possibly at risk after having gotten the contaminated steroid shots.

They could potentially get the disease as well.

So though the numbers are lowering, we're not out of the woods just yet.

Check out the video (above) to learn a little more about some of the new developments in this awful outbreak.

More and more evidence is pointing to "low and slow" as the best way to cook and prepare your food!

It's true, a new study has shown that high heat cooking could be putting you at risk for cardiovascular disease. That sucks, because high heat is how you get that crispy crunch on things!

In the study, over the course of 10 days, 65 adults recorded what they ate so it could be calculated how many chemical leftovers (AGEs) from high temperature cooking each group consumed. Greater AGE intake lead to increased risk of heart disease.

So why does this happen?
