#521 Show Summary (Good Riddance to 2013 Show):

In our opinion, one of the few good things about 2013 is that it was brief. Our show this year concerned itself with risky new products from energy drinks to e-cigarettes to stomach pumps for weight loss, while the life expectancy for men and women in Eastern Kentucky declined. Join us as we abruptly bid goodbye to 2013, and prepare to do better in 2014.

Tip: Gout is caused by uric acid crystals, which build up in the body. These crystals can collect in your joints leading to arthritis. The base of the big toe is affected 50% of the time. If you have a red swollen and tender big toe, it may not be infected—it may be gout.
