Breath & MouthCinnamon Gum and Sore Mouth Patches: What to Tell Your DentistA 74-case report describes red and white lesions linked to cinnamon gum or candies. The product history helps, but the appearance alone cannot establish the cause.
Bladder & Pelvic FloorDarifenacin and Memory: What a Three-Week Trial Can Tell YouA recall test favored darifenacin over escalating oxybutynin doses. That finding does not establish long-term dementia safety, and the current label still warns about confusion and hallucinations.
SkinMerino Wool and Eczema: Check Which Fabric Was StudiedSmall trials tested specified fine fibers, not every garment labeled merino. Their positive findings need to be read alongside current advice to avoid wool against eczema-prone skin.
Sleep & NighttimePoor Sleep on Your First Hotel Night: What Studies FoundThe first-night effect has laboratory evidence. The claim that half your brain stays awake, and the promise that your own pillowcase fixes it, need a closer look.

Who writes thisMore about the Research Team
A small club that got serious about the research.
Girl Playbook started as a handful of folks swapping notes about the problems we rarely brought up at dinner. We were frustrated by advice that was vague and out of date.
So we went to the source: medical journals, university research and clinical guidance. What began as a club became the Girl Playbook Research Team. We publish what we find in plain words, and we link to every source so you can check our work.
