NEWS SEPTEMBER 26

Contraception Misconception
That little pink pill you pop every day could have a new, bizarre side effect: change in memory. Docs say the difference in estrogen and progesterone levels might cause women to remember general chains of events rather than specific details. Via Healthland

Sweet, Sweet Indulgence
You were so "good" all summer, that you deserve a little treat now, right? We can't think of a sweeter (or prettier) indulgence than this pears and cream recipe. Head to the farmers market, pick up some fresh pears, and get ready for an incredible, over-the-top dessert. Via Minimally Invasive

Match Made In Heaven
They say you are the company you keep. But what if the company we keep is actually like us? That?s what a new study found. Although we identify better with people like us, research shows we connect better with diverse groups. Via MSNBC

Potatoes and Okra, Oh My!
If you need the perfect side dish for your first autumn gathering, look no further than this roasted potato and okra salad. The veggie combo packs a nutritious punch, and the rosemary seasoning gives the dish a perfect herbal flavor. Via Erin's Food Files

Coffee Crazy
National Coffee Day is this Friday. Will you celebrate? Out of the two-thirds of Americans who drink coffee, a new survey says that 65 percent gulp down 13 cups a week. Most have their first cup less than an hour after the alarm sounds. Via Reuters

Pizza Remix
Delicious pizza without the guilt? Sign us up! This flatbread is high-protein, and grain, gluten, starch and sugar free, but this blogger promises it does not lack in flavor! Via Roost
