ICYMI Health features what we're reading this week.
This week, as we spent time with family and friends over the holidays, we read two pieces about holiday lore. One piece retraced the shapeshifting history of Christmas-tree tinsel -- from pricey silver to flammable aluminum to poisonous lead. (Thankfully, modern-day tinsel is plastic-based.)
We also learned that an oft-repeated myth, the idea that suicides rates go up during November and December, is actually false.
And finally, we listened closely to a podcast featuring a South Los Angeles pastor who believes that greatest gift we can give our loved ones is an honest conversation about death.
Read on and tell us in the comments: What did you read, listen to and love this week?
