Capsule Comments with Ernie Miatello 'Some women have- some wrong ideas about the birth control pill. A recent • survey of 6000 women 'found four common misconceptions. 1) that the pill causes cancer; 2) that it wilf decrease.fertility: 3) it is safe to smoke while on the pill and 4) the pill will .protect from sexually transmitted diseases.

Although it is high in cholesterol, shrimp is'low-in saturated fats so it can be considered OK in a heart -healthy diet for most people. There are many types of tooth brushes. available. Some are angled, others are rippled, some have tapered ends. But, really, there is no evi- dence that any one type is more effective than another. Just use one with soft bristles and use it often and well. • That cotton that you find in bottles of medication is put there by the manufacturer and .pharmacists to prevent breakage during transit.
