Interesting. This new study found that exposure to “any of five classes of antibiotics significantly increased the risk for kidney stones.” And, maybe more worrisome, the risks for children under 18 were “significantly higher than for adults.”

The most basic essentials for human health, well-being, happiness are untended. They call it enlightened self-interest: care more, pay attention how we foul things up.
The effects of air pollution are worse for children than adults and research shows that 90% of the world's children are breathing toxic air. It's worse than tobacco. Let's keep working to clean up the air we all breathe! #airpollution #childrenshealth
