On Tuesday morning, TODAY anchor Savannah Guthrie made a big announcement when she revealed that she and her husband husband Mike Feldman are expecting a second kid!
During a segment on the talk show, The 44-year-old newswoman did her best to pretend to play a game of Tuesday Trending Fishbowl which was an OBVIOUS setup so Savannah could reveal to the world that she's pregnant and due in December!
Your high school sex ed teacher may have scared you with the shocking statistic that 1 in 5 people has herpes — but it turns out, the world is much more infected than that!
On Wednesday, the World Health Organization said that two-thirds of the world's population has the virus that causes cold sores!
According to a new report, 3.7 BILLION people under the age of 50 have the incurable herpes virus. This includes herpes simplex 1 virus (HSV-1) which is usually caught in childhood, and genital herpes (HSV-2) which is sexually transmitted.
But the new report shows that HSV-1 can also cause genital sores to develop — and oral sex is becoming the most prominent way it's transmitted!
From causing high cholesterol levels to being filled with harmful hormones, doctors (and vegetarians) have always warned against the dangers of eating too much processed meat!
But now, meat lovers might want to put down the bacon all together!
On Monday, the World Health Organization (WHO) said that eating processed meat like sausages, ham, and — yes, BACON — causes cancer!
Based on evidence from hundreds of studies, the organization's cancer research unit now officially classifies processed meat as "carcinogenic to humans" — linking it specifically to colon (or colorectal) cancer!
According to the report, eating just 50 grams (approximately two slices of ham) of processed meat each day, the risk of colon cancer can increase by 18%!
The organization considers processed meat as "any meat that is
We love babies, and while we get excited whenever we see one, we don’t want them poppin out too EARLY!
But according to the Born Too Soon Report, the first study of it’s kind led by the WHO (World Health Organization), one in ten babies are born prematurely (born before 37 weeks instead of a full-term 40 week pregnancy) around the world each year!!!
At least, that's what a report supported by the World Health Organization says.
Advances in medicine and increased funding has already cut malaria deaths in 43 countries by 38%, which is leading researchers to believe that MORE funding could bring deaths down to near zero by the end of 2015.
The WHO said the world can stop malaria deaths by 2015 if massive investment is made to ramp up control measures.
Robert Newman, director of WHO's global malaria programme, said in a statement:
"The results of the past decade exceed what anyone could have predicted and prove that malaria control is working."
Figures from the World Health Organization suggest the number of worldwide malaria deaths dropped to 781,000 in 2009 from nearly a million in 2000.
Whether or not Malaria deaths can actually disappear completely by 2015, it's exciting to hear that there is a definite decline. We hope WHO gets the funding it needs to continue that trend!
For your own sake, as well as you friends and family's, please quit that nasty habit!
The World Health Organization has predicted that 6 MILLION people will die this year due to tobacco related causes, including 600,000 non-smokers!
The international health organization says that most governments are not doing enough to persuade people to quit smoking or protect others from second-hand smoke.
WHO described smoking as "one of the biggest public health threats the world has ever faced" and may cause up to a billion deaths in the 21st century, compared the 100 million deaths it caused in the previous century.
Scary, right? Take charge of your life and don't allow yourself to become part of these frightening statistics!
Although the FDA has said there is no link between cell phones and any health problems in the past, the World Health Organization has concluded in a comprehensive review that cell phones ARE possibly carcinogenic after all.
Doctors don't think there will be a brain cancer epidemic anytime soon, but the organization is encouraging people to use their cellular devices less.
Is this the woman that allegedly led Kevin Hart's heart (or other organs) astray??
Multiple sites reported on Thursday that the girl in the now infamous late night car chat video is a Miami singer named Monique Gonzalez, aka MoMo.
According to CBS Power 96, Monique even responded to the scandal, denying that anything sketchy was going on of course:
"When they make something out of nothing you just gotta laugh -- I know who I am and my truth."
We still don't know for sure that it was Monique in the vid (though it DOES look a lot like her) or how she got hooked up with the Jumanji 2 star in the first place.
But we do know this -- gurl ain't a half bad singer!
She was even chosen to sing the female response remix of Pitbull's El Perdon (How Can I) back in 2015. Ironically, yes, it's a song all about a cheating BF.
