Didn’t Jon Lovitz marry Morgan Fairchild?

Remember when Jon Lovitz married Morgan Fairchild on “Saturday Night Live”? “Yeah, yeah, that’s the ticket!”

Problem is, it never happened. (Lovitz’s “Pathological Liar” character, Tommy Flanagan, told as many lies as he could, as often as he could.) But if just for a second there, you thought you did remember Jon and Morgan getting hitched, you’ve witnessed firsthand how false memories start.

A new study done by researchers in the United Kingdom and Canada indicates that around 50 percent of folks are susceptible to believing they’ve experienced fictitious events. So how can you protect yourself from falling prey to false information and believing what you hear is true when it’s not?

STAY CURIOUS. Curiosity will keep you open to new info — even if it contradicts your assumptions.

STAY HEALTHY. Keep your body and brain in top shape by dodging the Five Food Felons (inflammationpromoting, artery-clogging added sugars and syrups, all trans and most sat fats, and any grain that isn’t 100 percent whole) and getting 10,000 steps a day or the equivalent. PREGNANCY AND OPIOID ADDICTION

According to a new report from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration, drug use among pregnant women in the U.S. has increased dramatically. And about 21,000 pregnant women ages 15 to 44 have misused opioids in the past month.

Those women are putting their fetus at risk for placental abruption, preterm labor and death. And 70 to 95 percent of those women’s newborns suffer withdrawal or neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), low birthweight and respiratory complications, and they risk future brain dysfunction. According to an Australian study, by seventh grade more than a third of children with NAS fail to meet test standards in reading, writing, math, spelling and/or grammar.

Pregnant women experiencing addiction need quality pre- and postnatal care. According to the American Society of Addiction Medicine, “Pregnant women who are physically dependent on opioids should receive treatment using methadone or buprenorphine … rather than withdrawal management or abstinence.” The National Alliance of Advocates for Buprenorphine Treatment can help you find a doctor (www.naabt.org), as can www.samhsa.gov.

This as a health issue, not a moral failing, and we should support and help these women and their babies. Email questions for Mehmet Oz and Mike Roizen to youdocsdaily@sharecare.com.
