A Louisiana family is sleeping in tents while their 11-year-old daughter undergoes brain tumor treatment, making incredible sacrifices to keep hope alive.
Texas is fortunate to be home to some of the country's leading cancer research centers, such as MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. It would be incredible to see how the brilliant doctors there could take this research to the next level and, after more study, hopefully begin saving lives.
Cancer has made its mark on Louisiana, leaving no one untouched by its impact. It seems that nearly everyone either knows someone who has battled cancer or has faced the harsh realities of the disease themselves.
Now, other states want to follow in California's footsteps but are taking it even further. They have requested that other additives and dyes like Yellow 6 and Red 40 be added just to name a few. These dyes are found in countless snacks and drinks.
For years people have debated if diet coke is better or worse than a regular coke and it seems like no one can reach a verdict on this debate and everyone holds a different opinion and preference.
A study released by Consumer Reports finds that certain varieties of a popular candy sold in Louisiana might not be so sweet and in fact contains a carcinogen linked to cancer.
