  1. Mom’s, Kid’s Fructose Intake Linked to Asthma. A child’s risk of asthma increased significantly with maternal fructose intake during pregnancy.
  2. Mixed Outcomes in Pregnancy After Weight-Loss Surgery. Women with a history of bariatric surgery who later gave birth faced both benefits and risks including a lower risk for gestational diabetes, but a higher one for shorter gestation.

  4. Fewer Americans Have Problems with Medical Bills. The percentage of people under age 65 living in a household reporting problems paying medical bills in the past year decreased from 21.3% (56.5 million) in 2011 to 17.8% (47.7 million) in 2014.
