This week on Health Wanted, host Laurel Bristow and guest Dr. Amelia Lake discuss the research around the beverages designed to make us think they'll make us feel better.
In the Q&A, Bristow covers topics including the safety of swimming in Rock Creek, animal testing requirements, and FDA regulations for salmonella in chicken. The link between Parkinson's disease and golf courses comes in for the Sick of the Week.
