Here are restaurants in the Milwaukee area to get a hot dog on National Hot Dog Day July 16
And here is a fun fact about hot dogs: They are a good source of protein. According to USA Today, hot dogs normally have 5 grams of protein.
While it can be mixed if hot dogs are healthy or not, some argue putting vegetables as toppings can assist with hot dogs being part of a healthy diet.
"They are healthy because they are natural, all beef with lots of veggies," said Reannen Anderson, owner of Waukesha-based food truck, Big John's Burgers and Dogs in Waukesha.
These are many Milwaukee-area restaurants to grab a hot dog.

Bariatric Surgery: Who's Eligible Now?
This transcript has been edited for clarity. Bariatric surgery is a powerful tool for long-term weight loss, but it requires lifelong commitment to healthy eating, physical activity, supplements, and behavior change. When should you refer for bariatric surgery? The 2019 AACE/TOS/ASMBS guidelines recommend considering surgery for individuals with a BMI over 35 and at least one obesity-related condition — like type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, or hypertension — or anyone with a BMI over also note that patients with a BMI from 30 to 34.9 and poorly controlled type 2 diabetes may be considered. The updated 2022 ASMBS guidelines recommend expanding eligibility to include a BMI over 30with weight-related conditions, especially for Asian populations who experience metabolic risk at lower most insurance plans still only cover surgery for a BMI over 35 with associated conditions or a BMI over 40. Because long-term weight loss is difficult due to biologic adaptations, I offer surgery as an option to all eligible patients so they can make an informed choice. Surgery may be especially appropriate for patients who prefer surgery over lifelong obesity medications — though they'll still need lifelong vitamin supplementation — those who have not achieved long-term success with lifestyle interventions and/or obesity medications, or those who have higher BMI, for whom obesity medications and lifestyle modifications may not be sufficient to lead to resolution of weight-related complications. Importantly, this does not have to be an either/or patients benefit from a combination of bariatric surgery and obesity medications to achieve meaningful, lasting weight loss and improvements in health. As always, shared decision making is key, including a clear discussion of risks, benefits, alternatives, and patient goals.

Olivia Munn's Mom Also Had Breast Cancer, Highlighting Genetic Risks
Olivia Munn recently shared her mother was also diagnosed with breast cancer. The actress has been open about her breast cancer journey and revealed that her mom, Kim Munn, took the same risk assessment test. Understanding your family history and other genetic risk factors for breast cancer could be lifesaving. Olivia Munn has been open about her breast cancer journey since being diagnosed in 2024. The actress and activist recently shared that her mother, Kim Munn, had also been diagnosed after taking the same risk assessment test she credits with saving her life. The actress, 45, shared her mother's diagnosis in an Instagram post on July 9. 'You may know that when I talk about my own battle with cancer I bring up the Lifetime Risk Assessment test that saved my life. I never would've predicted it would save my mom's life as well,' Olivia Munn wrote in the caption. Olivia Munn was diagnosed with Luminal B breast cancer in both breasts. Because this form of breast cancer can be aggressive, the 'Your Friends and Neighbors' star underwent a double mastectomy. She also had a hysterectomy, which removed her uterus, and a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, which is the removal of both ovaries and fallopian tubes. Both procedures can help prevent cancer recurrence. Now, her mother's breast cancer diagnosis highlights the importance of genetic risk factors in breast cancer and the importance of screening and genetic testing, particularly for the BRCA gene. Around 5–10% of all breast cancer cases are associated with people who have a family history of the disease. '[Genetic] tests look at the genes you were born with; therefore, one test will be truly lifelong,' said Louise Morrell, MD, medical oncologist and chief medical executive at the Lynn Cancer Institute, part of Baptist Health South Florida. Healthline recently spoke with Morrell to learn more about genetic risk factors influencing the risk for breast and other types of cancer, and the importance of genetic testing. This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity and brevity. How does family history contribute to cancer risk? Morrell: There are very powerful genetic mutations that cause a high risk of breast cancer, known as BRCA genes. These occur in about 3-4 out of 1,000 [people] and account for only 5% of all breast cancers. There are also less potent cancer genes that contribute to breast cancer at a much lower rate, which are found in about 10% of the breast cancer population. Morrell: Generally, the highly potent cancer genes such as BRCA are 'cancer syndrome' genes and have an increased risk of multiple cancers, such as the presence of pancreas and prostate cancer, might be a clue that there is a gene that also causes breast and ovarian cancer. Why are screening tests and personalized risk assessments important? Morrell: Most cancers remain unexplained by family history, but other factors can identify individuals who will benefit from screening tests. More importantly, a negative test for a well-known gene does not rule out the contribution of familial factors. The most common [misconception] is the belief that we will advise removal of the breasts for [the] BRCA [gene].
