From Ebola to Nipah, the combined death toll since Covid is under 1,000 worldwide. So why the endless panic? Follow the money – pandemic fearmongering is a growth industry, says Dr David Bell.
Men account for three in four suicides in the UK, yet this crisis is met with silence. Why does society care so much about women and girls, but so little about the wellbeing of men and boys?
A new nanodisc breakthrough lets scientists see viruses more realistically, revealing hidden clues that could lead to better vaccines. Viruses are highly effective at infecting human cells, largely because of specialized proteins that cover their outer surfaces. These proteins are also a key focus for vaccine design. To study them, scientists often create lab-made versions [...]
A surprising study found that cutting out sugar completely may disrupt the gut microbiome and worsen metabolic health. Cutting sugar out of your diet entirely may not be as beneficial as many people assume. New research in mice suggests that completely eliminating sucrose could have unintended effects on gut health and metabolism. The findings were [...]
Most people think of heart disease and cancer as completely different illnesses. One affects the heart and blood vessels, while the other involves abnormal cell growth that can spread throughout the body. Yet researchers are increasingly discovering that the two conditions may be connected in ways that were not understood before. A new study led […]
Most people have heard the advice to eat five portions of fruits and vegetables every day. This recommendation has been a cornerstone of healthy eating campaigns for decades. The idea is simple: eating more plant foods can help reduce the risk of many chronic diseases while providing important nutrients that support overall health. Yet a […]
Heart failure is a serious health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Although the name sounds alarming, heart failure does not mean that the heart has stopped working completely. Instead, it means the heart is no longer able to pump blood as efficiently as the body needs. When this happens, organs and tissues may […]
Scientists have developed an innovative way to study serious mental health conditions by growing tiny brain-like structures in the laboratory. Although these miniature brains are only about the size of a pea, researchers believe they could help unlock important clues about disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, two conditions that affect millions of people […]
Ozempic and similar weight-loss drugs were linked to a striking 30% reduction in breast cancer risk in a study of more than 110,000 women. Popular weight-loss and diabetes medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound may offer an unexpected benefit beyond helping people lose weight. A large new study found that women taking these [...]
For years, low-carbohydrate diets have been among the most popular approaches to weight loss and healthy living. Millions of people have cut back on bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, and other carbohydrate-rich foods in the hope of losing weight, improving blood sugar control, and protecting their hearts. The popularity of low-carb eating has fueled a multibillion-dollar […]
Carbohydrates have become one of the most controversial topics in nutrition. For decades, diet trends have encouraged people to avoid foods such as bread, pasta, rice, and potatoes. Many popular weight-loss programs claim that reducing carbohydrates is the key to losing weight and improving overall health. As a result, low-carb and ketogenic diets have become […]
Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death around the world. In the United States alone, it is responsible for about one in every four deaths. Although doctors have made great progress in treating heart problems, many people still develop serious conditions that can lead to heart attacks, strokes, and other life-threatening complications.

A cheek swab may one day flag metabolic risk before symptoms appear. 
An "exciting hypothesis".
MS cognitive tests can predict real life, but only as part of a wider assessment.
