DR MICHAEL MOSLEY: Are YOU a victim of hidden diabetes? (Believe it or not, I was too!)  The small, scaly area on my chest didn’t overly worry me but as it was growing, albeit slowly, I thought I should have it checked out. My GP suggested it was a solar keratosis — sun damage —

The designated driver (DD) is a successful public health strategy dating back to the late 1980s. To better reflect the realities of today’s society, now is a good time to evolve the initiative to help mitigate the harms tied to broader substance use and beyond drinking and driving. The promotion of “buddy circles,” as an

In its Three Questions, Three Answers series, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health’s Laura Kubzansky discusses the link between optimism and hypertension.

It’s hard to find a more polarizing brand than Goop. The women’s lifestyle and wellness site meets shop has as many fans as it does critics, and the launch of the brands Netflix documentary only made people’s perspectives more fiery with many sources trying to debunk claims made during the series (via Rolling Stone).

Up to one in four Danes has an unhealthy accumulation of fat in the liver, also known as fatty liver.

Is there any candy worthier of shoveling into your mouth at a rapid pace than Reese’s Pieces? Seriously! Whether it’s pouring a handful into my bowl of popcorn, topping ice cream sundaes, or simply eating them out of the palm of my own hand, I will never get sick of these little bits of happiness.

A vaccine for COVID-19 is seen by many—rightly or wrongly—as the finish line for the pandemic, the shot that will mark the resumption of our normal lives. Yet recent polls suggest that a significant fraction of Americans may opt not to get a vaccine when one becomes available, or are at least wary of getting

Like many of us, Taco Bell has been going through some changes this year. First, they announced they were streamlining their menu by cutting around a dozen items, then they debuted a new restaurant concept meant to cater to to-go orders. Now, the chain has announced even MORE changes to its menu and we’re breaking

When Lauren Langbein became a doctoral student in cell biology at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia in 2014, she was used to being a stellar student—she had always excelled in classrooms and labs. But by the end of 2016, her research project was falling apart, and Langbein, a native of Monmouth County, N.J., and a

We were only recently given the low-down on how to order a Chocolate Pumpkin Crème Frappuccino from the Starbucks secret menu, and I’m honestly still recovering from it. But there’s a new seasonal-inspired Frapp that may, dare I say, be even better: a Pumpkin Cheesecake Frappuccino. TikToker @starbucksisbae, who contributes to Totally The Bomb’s running

A team of researchers has been modeling the potential spread of the coronavirus pandemic in Italy. Using their model, they can calculate the number of exposed and highly infectious individuals and the daily isolation efforts required to bring down the epidemic curve. In April, a team led by Professor Andrea Rinaldo, the head of EPFL’s

A 25-year-old man now relies on a wheelchair after his symptoms of a severe health condition were misdiagnosed as anxiety for years. Zachary Moyer, from Kansas City, Missouri, started struggling with his health when he was just six years old. He would get sore throats, severe earaches, bad coughs and fevers, with no known cause.

Keeping borders closed to halt the spread of COVID-19 is unsustainable, the World Health Organization said Monday, urging countries to adopt comprehensive strategies based on local knowledge of where the virus is spreading. Border closures and travel restrictions remain an important part of many countries’ strategy to combat the novel coronavirus. At the same time,

Many Black men suffer symptoms of traumatic stress in the aftermath of traumatic injury, and they also often carry social concerns, including experiences of discrimination and stigma.

Bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwiches are a summer staple — and we spend months dreaming of tomatoes that are worthy of the combo — but who says you can’t improve on a classic? Not Martha Stewart! The domestic diva took to Instagram recently to show off an absolutely indulgent, elevated, one-upped twist on BLTs, and

It’s no surprise that the Trump family doesn’t place much value on things like ethics, morality or even basic human decency, but Ivanka Trump’s latest gaffe was a new low, even for her. In case you missed it last week, Goya Foods CEO Robert Unanue boldly praised President Trump during a trip to the White

Wearing a mask has become part of our daily lives. It is already compulsory to wear one on public transport across the UK and from 24 July, you will have to wear one in shops in England. They are already required in shops in Scotland, while Northern Ireland and Wales are considering introducing similar rules.

As Victoria grapples with a second-wave outbreak of COVID-19, the importance of large-scale testing has again been highlighted. Without its “testing blitz” aiming at 10,000 tests a day, the extent of the outbreak would have been invisible for much longer. Australia-wide, we’ve so far achieved a seven-day rolling average of a little more than 50,000

Is it weird that a bowl full of freshly popped, lightly buttered popcorn excites us? No, really, hear us out: It’s like this blank canvas that you can flavor in so many different ways. Want it sweet? Sprinkle some cinnamon sugar or caramel seasoning on it. Want it tangy and spicy? A few heavy dashes
