Drug Marketing to Doctors
In Canada, where drug companies can’t advertise products
directly to the consumer, they must instead pitch the drugs
to the doctors who write the prescriptions. But doctors
don’t need ads, they need education about which drug
is best for their patients. We looked at how they get that
education, and how it can affect your health when the education
is coming from drug companies.
Early Puberty
It’s as if a whole generation of young girls had been
put on hormonal fast forward: For the last decade, doctors
have noticed more and more girls are developing breasts
and growing pubic hair at younger ages – some as young
as 5, 6 and 7 years old. We talk with one of the leading
researchers in the field of early puberty.

Adult Autism
There are some disorders we associate only with children:
autism is one of them. But what's the future for an autistic
child? Who better to answer that than an autistic adult?
Afterall, kids with autism grow up too.
Osteoporosis in Men
When David Kirk fell off a ladder, there were two things
he didn’t know. One – that he'd broken two vertebrae
in his spine. Two – that he had osteoporosis. A recent
landmark Canadian study confirmed that men are as likely
to get this bone disease as women.
