In Europe it is used for only about 20% of all abortions. But in the U.S., where women routinely run protest gauntlets at clinic doors, the percentage is expected to be much higher...
...colds, think zinc. A study finds that sufferers who begin to pop a kind of ZINC LOZENGE (gluconate glycine) within 24 hours of symptoms get over their sniffles and sore throat three days sooner than those who suck on a placebo. Possible side effects: nausea and a bad taste...
