Couric, whose first husband Jay Monahan died of colon cancer in 1998, is the face of Exact Sciences' new “Mission to Screen” campaign that launched this week for Colon Cancer Awareness Month.

Cologuard is a screening test for colon and rectal cancer. The colon sheds cells from its lining every day. These cells pass with the stool through the colon. Colon cancer cells may have DNA changes in certain genes. Cologuard detects the altered DNA.

The cost is around $500. Some insurance plans may cover part of that cost depending on your plan, co-pay, and deductible. Diagnostic testing is subject to deductibles and coinsurance. Screening colonoscopies are not subject to copays and deductibles and usually have no out-of-pocket costs for patients.

While Couric, Kardashian, and Tucci aren't completely vegan, plenty of celebrities, including Billie Eilish, Natalie Portman, Lewis Hamilton, Venus Williams, and Heather Rae El Moussa, have made the leap. Find our list of 36 vegan celebrities here!

Why does the Cologuard test cost more? The base cost of the test is higher than the cost of other recommended at-home tests for colon cancer screening. The Cologuard test combines a fecal immunochemical test (FIT Test) with a patented DNA test. Premera pays for preventive care as required by the Affordable Care Act.

Zuckerberg was a vegetarian sort of. In 2011, he called himself a vegetarian but said he would eat meat if he killed the animal himself. He reportedly has gone back to eating meat he didn't personally kill.

While Pitt hasn't confirmed what type of diet he follows, veganism is synonymous with several of the causes he is vocal in his support for. In particular, environmentalism. Adopting a vegan diet could help preserve the natural environment.

After all, prior social media posts and reports make it clear that the two have remained good friends over the years despite Katie leaving Today in 2006 for CBS News. In 2019, Page Six noted that Katie was among the past and present Today show stars at Al and his wife Deborah Roberts' holiday bash.
