Dr. Manny Alvarez, FOX News Senior Managing Health Editor, discusses the latest medical headlines:

HPV - the controversy continues!! Listen, this IS safe, and I feel parents should consider vaccinating their kids, esp. for young girls.

#2-Could new psychiatric guidelines change the standards for autism diagnosis?--  

These cookie cutter guidelines can leave 10% of patient out of the definition of autism and left in the dark. This could be hazardous for some children because they will go get the support they need.

#3 - Breast cancer prevention: What every woman should know--

Women need to know their risk, their family history, that they need to continue getting their mammograms each year, self-examination is important also, and that lifestyle plays a significant role- esp when it comes to alcohol consumption!
