'Trojan horse' weight loss drug outperforms Ozempic in mice
A revolutionary new approach to weight loss could rise above medications like Ozempic and Wegovy. By combining the appetite-suppressing hormone GLP-1 with special molecules that zero in on the brain’s appetite control center, this “Trojan horse” therapy achieved remarkable weight loss in mice – up to twice as much as GLP-1 alone in some cases. The drug co-developed by scientists at the University of Copenhagen and Novo Nordisk smuggles in molecules that directly regulate hunger alongside GLP-1. While currently approved GLP-1 medications just make people feel fuller, this two-pronged offensive strikes the appetite at its neurological roots. “The effect of

The clinical trial provides scientific validation for what many patients and physicians have observed anecdotally since these medications became widely used: individuals taking semaglutide often experience a diminished desire for alcohol. “This is the first randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of semaglutide designed to study the phenomenon,” said Christian Hendershot, the

New Study Links Popular Thyroid Medication Levothyroxine to Bone Loss Risk in Older Adults
New research from Johns Hopkins Medicine suggests that a popular thyroid drug, Levothyroxine, may raise the risk of bone loss in older adults. Hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid, is treated with levothyroxine, which is marketed under brand names including Synthroid. In the United States, it is the second most often prescribed drug for senior citizens. Approximately 23 million Americans, or 7% of the population, are prescribed this medication. The preliminary study found that levothyroxine users experienced greater bone mass and density loss over a six-year period than non-users, even when their thyroid function tested in the normal range.

How Airlines Engineer Passenger Space for Profit
Airlines have transformed the flying experience over the past 40 years by steadily reducing passenger space. According to a USA Today, a 2019 study by Consumer Reports, a standard economy seat’s legroom has shrunk from 34 inches in the 1980s to just 30-31 inches today in most major carriers. This dramatic reduction stems from airlines packing more seats into planes to boost profits, a practice known in the industry as “densification.” To achieve these tighter configurations, airlines installed thinner “slimline” seats with less padding. In a 2022 report by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), these seats reduced aircraft weight

How important is preserving muscle strength and power?
As we get older, keeping our muscles strong and responsive becomes crucial, health professionals warn. Once we hit our 30s and 40s, our muscles start to shrink and weaken, which can throw a wrench in our health and daily activities. Marla Beauchamp, a PT and professor at McMaster University suggests that we can’t completely avoid age-related changes. Muscles take a hit – fewer fibers, and the ones left are smaller. This muscle wasting, called sarcopenia, chips away at about 3-8% of our muscle mass every 10 years after midlife. Muscle strength fades even faster than muscle size as we age.

Their analysis focused on a representative sample of non-institutionalized U.S. civilians. To standardize their measurements, researchers converted various physical activity types into equivalent

The research, published in the Journal of Sex Research, analyzed responses from 11,541 participants across six European countries. The data showed that 13% of respondents currently fake orgasms, while 28% reported having done so in the past before stopping. About 51% stated they had never engaged in the practice. Women were more than twice as likely as men to currently fake

Why do periods lead to chocolate cravings?
Many people think chocolate cravings during periods are caused by hormonal changes, but new research points to culture as a bigger influence than biology. So, is period chocolate cravings a myth? Research shows that many American women experience chocolate cravings around their period. However, according to the Washington Post, studies from the last 20 years suggest that these “period cravings” might be influenced by culture rather than biology alone. In a 2006 Cornell University study, over 300 female students were surveyed, and 91% of the American participants reported craving chocolate. For most, these cravings were strongest right before their period.

Why plant-based meat ignites a lasting craving & is here to stay
A huge change is happening in the food world, questioning old ideas about where our meat comes from. This new kind of meat, cleverly named plant-based meat or “unicorn meat,” is either made from plants or grown from cells in a lab. This fresh, cutting-edge idea is still getting established. However, it could be an ethical, environmentally-friendly option compared to regular meat that’s also healthier. At its heart, unicorn meat aims to mimic traditional meat sources’ rich flavors, succulent textures, and nutritional might. But it does so through innovative culinary alchemy.

What is orthorexia? The "healthy eating" obsession explained
Doctors and dietitians are raising major concerns over an eating condition they’re calling “orthorexia” – an extreme, obsession with eating only healthy foods. The term orthorexia was first used over 25 years ago in 1997 by Dr. Steven Bratman to label the strict eating habits of people who cut things out of their diet, experience malnutrition, and limit their foods based on quality. Unlike bulimia or anorexia, which involve issues with food quantity, this condition is an unhealthy obsession with only eating healthy organic foods.

Lingering man-made chemicals in drinking water raise health concerns
There is growing unease over the potential health impacts of man-made chemicals that linger in drinking water. The persistence of certain synthetic chemicals in drinking water has raised worries over possible health consequences. The ongoing presence of particular industrial compounds in tap water has triggered concerns about possible negative health effects. This scientific evidence compelled new national clean water rules aimed at limiting exposure. Water systems will have five years to comply via filtration. While an important step, this only applies to six of the thousands of PFAS chemicals, many of which lack toxicity data. PFAS enter groundwater when industry

Harvard researchers link ice cream consumption to lower diabetes
You scream, I scream, we all scream for…better heart health? As outlandish as it sounds, that’s precisely what some rigorous data analysis from Harvard University has implied. Their research found that diabetics who indulged in a daily ice cream treat had a lower risk of cardiac complications. A real head-scratcher for the nutrition academics, to say the least. It started with a student named Andres Ardisson Korat at Harvard. He was just doing his doctoral research on dairy and diseases when he noticed something weird. Diabetics who ate a half cup of ice cream daily seemed to have a lower

How to recognize and deal with the silent treatment as emotional abuse
When couples come together, open and honest conversations build closeness and understanding. Silent treatment in relationships can spell the death knell to this bonding and companionship if communication between the couple falls through. However, many still fall into this harmful pattern—the cold shoulder, withholding words, refusal to speak. Purposely depriving your partner of words, often as punishment or to exert control, causes profound emotional pain that can tear even the strongest relationships apart. This “silent treatment in relationships” may seem tame, but its roots are surprisingly cruel. In the 19th century, sailors used merciless silence to discipline misbehaving crew members

How hyperfixation on self-care rituals is making people feel inadequate
Our obsession with self-improvement is making people miserable, according to experts. Psychologist Meytal Eyal has observed an “epidemic of self-hatred” from constantly striving to better ourselves while never feeling adequate. This hyperfixation on the self manifests in elaborate self-care rituals or cutting out “toxic” friends to reach an idealized version of oneself. However, socioeconomic and systemic barriers also impact people’s ability to feel fulfilled. Marginalized communities in particular struggle with feelings of insufficiency. All humans are motivated to improve their lives, but this survival impulse can be taken too far. Our incredible ability to adapt, called hedonic adaptation, means the

One in five American adults grapple with daily loneliness, new national survey reveals
A recent national survey revealed that one in five adults in the United States experiences loneliness on a daily basis. The findings, part of the Gallup National Health and Well-Being Index, indicate that 20% of American adults reported feeling lonely “a lot of the day yesterday.” This figure represents an increase from earlier this year and marks the highest rate of daily loneliness recorded in the past two years. However, it remains below the peak of 25% observed during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2019 to 2021. Dan Witters, research director of the Gallup National Health and Well-Being Index, offered insight

People thought that measles was a disease of the past, but its scary comeback has broken that illusion. Several new measles outbreaks have emerged across multiple states including California and Michigan. Additionally, seven cases were identified among students at the same elementary school in Florida. These incidents highlight how the highly contagious measles virus continues to spread in communities around the country. Matthew Ferrari, the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics at Penn State University, aptly describes the situation as a “pile of firewood” with each outbreak acting as a match, increasing the risk of a larger conflagration.

A startling new study by Pediatrics Journal reveals the hidden pandemic fallout – antidepressant prescriptions for teens and young adults have exploded by over 64% compared to pre-COVID levels. This jarring spike mirrors the decline in youth mental well-being throughout the crisis and its aftermath. Most strikingly, the findings expose profound gender-based disparities underpinning this trend. For adolescent females between 12-17 years old, the rate at which antidepressants were dispensed skyrocketed by an astonishing 130% above pre-pandemic levels after March 2020. The situation was scarcely improved for young adult women aged 18-25, with the dispensing rate for this demographic spiking

The researchers examined two 4,000-year-old Egyptian skulls from the University of Cambridge’s Duckworth Collection. One skull belonged to a man aged 30 to 35 who lived between 2687 and 2345 BC. The other was from a woman over 50 years old, dating back to 663-343 BC.

The body loses water through daily activities, and adequate intake is vital for maintaining functions such as temperature regulation and nutrient transport. Carbonated water can reportedly hydrate the body just as effectively as still water.
