PHOENIX — U.S. health officials on Friday told consumers to throw away any store-bought romaine lettuce they have in their kitchens and warned restaurants not to serve it amid an E. coli outbreak that has sickened more than 50 people in several states.

Officials have not found the origin of the c...
The perception that most high school kids drink alcoholic beverages isn’t true, the Minnesota Department of Health reports.

Some had access to a computer only once a week, Taylor said, making it difficult for them to develop the skills needed to s...
