We're breaking down Dolly Parton's cause of death, the latest food safety alerts, and the biggest celebrity health news of the week on this episode of Dr. Frita LIVE!
We start with heavy hearts, looking back at Dolly Parton's health journey after she passed away at 80 following a brief battle with cancer. We'll walk through the warning signs she had quietly mentioned in the months before, and why even beloved public figures often keep a serious diagnosis private for as long as they can.
Next up, our Recall Alerts and Outbreak Watch segment has a lot to cover this week. We've got nearly 30,000 pounds of recalled beef, an alfalfa sprout outbreak, the Whole Foods guacamole recall now at the FDA's highest risk level, growing numbers on the Cyclospora lettuce outbreak, and an update on Pennsylvania's first measles deaths of the year.
We're also talking about Kehlani's scary hospital trip after she woke up unable to swallow, and Gladys Knight's decision to step back from performing after seven decades. Her story is the perfect moment to talk about what healthy aging really looks like.
We're closing the show with a Myth vs Fact segment inspired by a heartbreaking lightning strike story making the rounds online, separating fact from fiction on lightning and storm safety and sharing a few tips that could save a life.
