Do multivitamins really work?- It seems counterintuitive but, to stay healthy, you don’t need vitamins to do that. In a survey done by the National Institute of Health, nearly a third of Americans take vitamins daily, but they might not be doing any good. Author Marion Nestle makes a shocking claim, saying that there is no evidence that they(vitamins) make people healthier. Typical Vitamin users are already reaching their food quotes so, gaining more nutrients is essentially dangerous. That’s not to say that everybody shouldn’t be taking vitamins, specifics like children and seniors are in the clear.  So, if you want to keep wasting your money, keep taking vitamins. 

Belgium: Senate Approves Measure Allowing Doctors to Euthanize Children- It seems counterintuitive that such a unfortunate act would be passed.  In 2013, The Belgien Senate voted to extend euthenasia to children with disabilities. Euthenasisa has been legal since 2002, it’s been prohibited for children under 18 years old. Although euthanisia is legal in a handful of countries, the fully lifted age restriction is only happening in Belgium. The rates are increasing up to 25%. Not many people are happy with this act, some also expressing concern as well. “Instead we must make every effort to use the research provided to us to provide attentive care to relieve their physical suffering in a moral way.”

Prozac, what’s race got to do with it?- It seems counterintuitive that race has a correlation to Prozac (anti-depressant). Prozac, a popular antidepressant drug, hit the shelves in 1987. The company funnels med to 1 out of every 10 Americans, but that might decrease after a shocking claim comes out.  Data showed that from a study of 125 million patients, doctors were more likely to give antidepressants to white people and with private healthcare, and those minorities were given the opposite. Prescribing antidepressants should be based on factors other than insurance status, race, or gender. But, unfortunately that’s not the case.
