Scientists have known for quite a while that inbreeding, or sexual relationships with ones’ own family members, can create a host of developmental problems and genetic abnormalities. Sorry royal families of the past, but marrying your cousin was just not a good idea. Now, those very genetic abnormalities are revealing population dynamics of the past for paleoanthropologists, dynamics such as inbreeding. More
Ugh Tiger Woods, amirite ladies? I don’t like being that person who just writes someone off as a horrible human being based on an extreme media characterization. At the same time, I think we’re all in agreement that Tiger Woods was a horrible husband and general jerk. Does that mean that he should never be allowed in public again or to continue his career as a professional golfer? Of course not. Does it mean that I don’t want to support him or buy the products he endorses? You bet. But now, Tiger is dating Lindsey Vonn, a professional athlete that I’ve always liked. And I feel very conflicted. More
At this point, Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee are unarguably the most entertaining people on daytime television. From their lush reputation to their obvious friendship, these ladies have managed to turn Today‘s last hour into the best bit of morning gab available. And the fact that they discussed their own “down-there” grooming habits just seals the deal for me. More
A Maryland man is dead after receiving an organ transplant from a donor infected with rabies. It’s an awful story that doesn’t seem to have a simple solution and could have a higher death toll. The donor was not suspected of having the infectious disease and his or her organs were given to three other individuals as well, who are now being treated with anti-rabies shots. More
The Butterfly Bakery in Clifton, New Jersey has some explaining to do. After a prolonged investigation, the FDA found that the bakery falsely labeled some of their products fat and sugar content, going as far as putting sugar into their “No Sugar Added” blueberry muffins. The company must remained closed until all of their products match what they actually put on the label. And according to the bakery, it’s really no big deal. More
So, it’s pretty much freezing cold in my neck of the woods today. But I know from the horrible “Get Your Bikini Body Ready” stories popping up in lady magazines that warm weather is just around the corner. And while that doesn’t mean I’ll be starting a diet or hitting the gym extra heavy for sundress season, it does mean that there’s some work to do getting ready for my summer garden. That’s right! There are still some patches of snow on the ground, but it’s time to start putting your green thumb to use. More
The Catholic Church has a new leader in time for Palm Sunday! Now, the world can get to know Pope Francis I, formerly known as Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Pope Francis is the first non-European Pope, the fact of which has dominated the early reports of his election by the College of Cardinals. But we went looking for more detailed information about the man who will now lead the Catholic Church, and hold the most influential position in all of Christiandom. More
My friends, I have to admit that I have taken more than my fair share of z-packs in my life. Zithromax, the antibiotic known for coming in a handy little pack that tells you how many pills to take each day, is one of the most widely used and recognized antibiotics outside of penicillin and the bubble-gum stuff. And for a lady like me who is particularly susceptible to pneumonia, it’s a god-send. But according to new warnings from the FDA, it’s also more dangerous than I realized. More
Birth rape. It’s the relatively new term used by some to describe awful labor and delivery care where a woman’s personal choices are disregarded. It often involves doctors or midwives shoving fingers or other medical instruments into a woman’s vagina during childbirth without any warning, and sometimes even continuing after the woman screams out in pain or loudly objects. The term has continued to morph and has lately been used to describe cases like Lisa Epsteen’s, whose doctor threatened to call the police and force her to have an emergency c-section because he was worried about the health of her child. The problem is that this new bit of progressive vocabulary hurts both birthing rights activists and sexual assault survivors. More

When it comes to ovarian cancer treatment, it looks like there are two very different paths to take. You can go to a respected cancer treatment center and see a gynecologic oncologist, receive the best care possible and live longer. Or, you can stick to your local hospital and the obstetrician who delivered your baby, miss out on the most advanced medicine, and succumb to the disease earlier than necessary. And an appalling number of people, almost two-thirds of ovarian cancer patients, have been put on the second path by physicians that they should be able to trust. More

I know that there are a lot of zumba fans out there. I know this because the dance-inspired modern day aerobicize is everywhere. Even in my small Midwestern city, every church has a “Mommy Zumba Night.” My daughter’s gymnastics class and swim lessons at the Y are filled with announcements for the parents that zumba classes are available on the weekends. My afternoon Pilates class at my gym? Bumped. There were a lot of requests for zumba. More
In recent months, a variety of companies have popped up to help women be prepared for that special time of the month. Juniper, HelloFlo, and LeParcel all deliver tampons to your door so that ladies are never caught in that awful situation of rushing to the drug store with toilet paper stuff between your legs because you ran out of sanitary supplies. But here at Blisstree, we’re not quite sure if these services are just incredibly convenient or if they play into some obnoxious stereotypes about women and that hormonal time of the month. More
Well, I suppose Selena Gomez wouldn’t be a former child star without some creepy parent baggage hanging on her back. It only makes sense that as the Spring Breakers actress is attempting to show the world how grown up she is, Selena would open up about her sorta inappropriate father and his habit of using his young daughter to flirt with waitresses at Hooters.
