In a Face the Nation interview, Means described a pattern: lobbyists for the sugar industry, vape companies, and pharmaceutical firms would call Wiles' office, and policies would stall or disappear. A plan to define ultra-processed food, which had support from the American Heart Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics, was allegedly pulled days before its announcement after food industry lobbyists made calls.         02  Prenatal fluoride linked to lower problem-solving scores in children A new study of more than 2,500 American children found that fluoride exposure in the womb was tied to lower scores on memory and problem-solving tests. The effect showed up at fluoride levels already considered safe. When a mother's tap water hit around 0.7 milligrams per liter (the federal recommendation), each additional half-milligram bump was linked to a 3.5-point drop in her child's problem-solving ability. The strongest effects appeared in kids under 7.         AD Why 29,000 Medical Professionals Recommend This Probiotic When more than 29,000 medical professionals recommend Pendulum to their patients, it is worth a closer look. Pendulum’s Metabolic Daily is powered by live Akkermansia muciniphila, a strain mentioned in more than 4,500 scientific publications. Its founders, PhD scientists from Johns Hopkins, Harvard, Berkeley, and Stanford, found that appetite can stem from the microbiome and built a way to deliver this strain where it can actually work. Metabolic Daily strengthens gut lining and improves digestive health.* HSA/FSA eligible. *Based on preclinical studies. This product is not intended for weight loss.

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh used machine learning to analyze scans from over 1,700 patients and found that people with denser muscle in their chest and back had a lower risk of heart attack over the following decade. The key takeaway is about density: it's not about size; it's about muscle quality, meaning less fat mixed into the tissue.         ✿ QUICK HITS — ON OUR RADAR Your stroke risk jumps 72 percent between 6 and 9 AM compared with the rest of the day, across nearly 12,000 stroke patients analyzed. Measles cases passed 5,000 this year across 45 states, with eight deaths confirmed so far. Ninety-six percent of cases are among people who are unvaccinated or whose vaccination status is unknown. Acorns predict Lyme disease two years out. When oak trees drop heavy acorn crops, mouse populations explode the next year, which feeds more ticks. Researchers tracking 35 years of data found that a big acorn season reliably forecasts 40 percent more infected nymphal ticks two summers later.         AD Take full control of your debt Managing several debts at once can quickly become difficult to keep up with, but there may be a more manageable way forward.
