The Dangers in the Workplace

Think you are safe while sitting at your desk? Think again. There are dangers lurking all around your workplace. All the stresses you encounter on a daily basis at work can take a toll on your health. There’s not enough time to go out and pick up something for lunch, so you turn to the vending machine, filled with candy bars and processed, sugary foods. And now, the World Health Organization has placed cell phones on the list (alongside lead, DDT, and engine exhaust) of things that possibly cause cancer. This week on To Your Good Health Radio, Dr. Friedman talks with experts who can help all of us eliminate some of these dangers. Listen now!
