Families in a rich California enclave have claimed an extremely rare cancer has struck more people than first feared and that its root cause could be due to the rampant use of pesticides. Locals in Ladera Ranch, Orange County, have spent months raising concerns after at least six local children were diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma, a bone and soft tissue cancer that affects only about 200 to 240 children nationwide each year. Now, residents say their own investigation has uncovered what they believe is an unusually heavy use of pesticides and herbicides throughout the community and that more than 60…

There are many theories about what makes KFC’s signature fried-chicken menu item so “finger lickin’ good” — from the chain’s blend of herbs and spices to the chicken it uses and the breading technique it’s perfected.  One of the biggest reasons KFC’s chicken is legendary is that it’s cooked in commercial pressure fryers, according to The Takeout. The method cooks the chicken quickly, creating a crisp crust while keeping the meat juicy. KFC’s website says founder Colonel Harland Sanders spent nine years perfecting his secret blend of 11 herbs and spices, along with the cooking technique the chain still uses today. The fast-food giant says…

Women who use Depo-Provera face a higher risk of developing a slow-growing brain tumor, known as a meningioma, while the contraceptive’s maker, Pfizer, faces hundreds of lawsuits claiming that it was aware of the potential risks. The brand name for depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), Depo-Provera, contains the synthetic progestin hormone and is used by roughly 1 in 4 sexually active US women at some point.

WASHINGTON — There’s another Pettitte entering the Yankees organization. The club drafted Luke Pettitte, son of longtime Yankee left-hander and current special adviser Andy Pettitte, with their eighth-round pick on Sunday.
