Dr. Taraneh Nazem, a reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist for RMA of New York, recently watched a TikTok video claiming that eating raw cacao daily could completely balance your hormones and cure PMS. “The creator made sweeping statements without any scientific backing, and the comment section was filled with people eager to try it—despite cacao's known potential to cause insomnia and anxiety if consumed in large quantities,” says Nazem. Social-media is rife with posts like this, pushing superfoods and supplements to boost your hormonal health and improve your low energy, poor sleep, bad acne, and so many other ills in the process.
EverettWhat do Rio, Rapunzel and Puss have in common? Parental separation.
Consider for a moment some of our children’s greatest fictional heroes. Luke Skywalker grows up thinking his father is dead. Harry Potter: orphaned as an infant. Ditto Superman. One looks further into the literary pantheon for the pint-sized — Cinderella, Spiderman, Tarzan, Sleeping Beauty, Lemony Snicket’s Baudelaire children, Batman, C.S. Lewis’s Pevensie kids — and it’s hard not to spot a common familial theme: where the hell are all these kids’ folks?
(See Cover) Hollywood, which is crowded with luscious cuties, decided that Katharine Hepburn was no great beauty. Her body suggests a collection of fine bones held together by freckles. Her vivid, angular face is topped by red hair pinned up any which way. Her penetrating voice can be as disturbing as some of her strong opinions. When she first arrived in Hollywood, her agent, Myron Selznick, took one look and groaned: “My God, are we sticking them $1,500 a week for this!
The Small World of Sammy Lee.
Sammy is running. He runs into a Soho strip shop, where as compere and comic he dishes the dirt to the usual dirty old men (“We take you now to the Garden of Allah—in case you’d like to do a bit of planting”). Then he runs off the stage and up to his flat, where he makes a few fast phone calls and moves a shipment of bootleg bellywash.
A county in southern Colorado became the first to report its January pot tax income Monday, nearly two months after the sale of recreational marijuana became legal in the state.
Authorities in Pueblo County said that its two marijuana shops saw about $1 million in total sales in January, and produced $56,000 in local sales tax, the Associated Press reports.

There’s a quote from the 13th century Persian poet Rumi that sticks with Dakota Johnson as she navigates the early years of running her production company: “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field.

If there’s one thing you can be sure of, it’s that thousands of people would jump at the chance to see the musical Hamilton for free. At least that’s what website Brokelyn is betting on with its April Fools’ joke aimed at Donald Trump.
In a post on the lifestyle and deals focussed website, Brokelyn claims that the cast of the Broadway musical phenomenon will put on a free show in Prospect Park in New York over the summer.
Not long ago I had an apple problem. Wavering in the produce section of a Manhattan grocery store, I was unable to decide between an organic apple and a nonorganic apple (which was labeled conventional, since that sounds better than “sprayed with pesticides that might kill you”). It shouldn’t have been a tough choice–who wants to eat pesticide residue?–but the organic apples had been grown in California. The conventional ones were from right here in New York State.
Archie's time at the Leopold and Loeb Juvenile Center isn't going to be easy. Early on "Riverdale's" second episode this season, Archie meets his cellmate, Mad Dog (played by Eli Goree). Mad Dog has posters on the wall, a collection of books on a desk, a record player, and even a pull-up bar in his cell. When Archie tries to introduce himself to Mad Dog, he merely looks over at him and doesn't respond.
