Approximately 500,000 babies are born each year in the United States to teenage mothers.
Everyone has one nostril that is larger than the other.
More than 30% of American adults, and about 12% of children utilize health care approaches that were developed outside of conventional medicine.
The largest baby ever born weighed more than 23 pounds but died just 11 hours after his birth in 1879. The largest surviving baby was born in October 2009 in Sumatra, Indonesia, and weighed an astounding 19.2 pounds at birth.
