Scientists Call for Restrictions on Ibuprofen & other OTC Painkillers After Deadly Risks Discovered

We all know someone or have a family member who the disease has maimed or killed. Yes, maimed. According to a study published in JAMA Surgery, younger women with breast cancer are increasingly opting to undergo double mastectomies, even if they were diagnosed with early-stage cancer in only one breast.
