Study: CBD products don't ease pain
New research out of England indicates there's no evidence to prove that CBD products do anything to reduce chronic pain.
The study found they're not only a waste of money but also potentially harmful to your health. CBD is one of many chemicals found naturally in the cannabis plant, and it is sold in shops and online in oils, vapes, creams and edibles.
The products are often marketed as a cure-all for a variety of ailments, but findings from 16 randomized trials found no evidence that they help in any way and that they could even cause serious harmful side effects, including liver damage.
Uterine cancer on the rise

Experts say early detection and taking action is key to saving lives.
