Score One For Big Tobacco and Booze: Babe Ruth Didn't Die From Throat Cancer

You’ve probably gone through your entire life thinking Babe Ruth died from drinking and smoking and eating half-smokes two at a time. But you’d be wrong. Light one up and top off that snifter, friends, because Babe didn’t die as a result of his plethora of vices. It was an extremely rare cancer, rather, that did the Bambino in at the young age of 53: Dr. William Maloney uncovered little-known information about the experimental treatment that the doomed baseball titan agreed to take part in...

I find it interesting how American society can tolerate such a public incongruency. In Austr...

Poland says no to DNA testing of Chopin's heart

Like a religious relic, the heart of composer Frederic Chopin rests in a Warsaw church, untouched since it was preserved in alcohol after his death in 1849 at age 39.

Why the end of the Center for Alcohol Marketing and Youth is an opportunity for better research on alcohol advertising and underage drinking. CAMY – the Center for Alcohol Marketing and Youth – is no more. The cup of funding has not just run dry, the federal government has decided it will assign one of its agencies to keep tabs on alcohol advertising in the future.
