Not all candy is created equal. Duh. Baby Ruth is way better than Snickers or Milky Way and those little sticks from Lik-M-Aid Fun Dip (forget the sugar powder) are awesome. But that’s not what dentists care about. In fact, Dr. Douglas Young, professor of dental practice at the University of the Pacific, Arthur A.

It might be Halloween, but this is no Hollywood horror movie plot. A Chinese toddler recently had surgery to remove her own twin — still growing — from her belly.
At 18 months old Kang Mengru was a normal toddler, normal except for a swollen abdomen that made her the laughing stock of the village and gave her the look of being pregnant, her foster parents told the Telegraph.
It seems that the recent refund offer by Disney was the spark that reignited the flame of a decades-old controversy: Is television harmful to tots? Are we a society of lazy, selfish parents that use the screen as a live-in babysitter? And if so, are we creating a society of mush-brained mutants that call the remote “Daddy”?
