rachel60+FollowCould Antioxidants Stop Liver Cancer?Scientists just found a new way our bodies might fight off liver cancer caused by fatty liver disease (yep, the kind you can get from too much junk food, not just alcohol). Turns out, a gene called p53 and its buddy TIGAR act like tiny detox superheroes in your liver. The big news? This could mean future antioxidant therapies to help stop liver disease from turning into cancer. Imagine fighting liver cancer with something as simple as antioxidants! #HealthNews #LiverHealth #ScienceBreakthrough102Share
Aaron Rodriguez+FollowAppendix Cancer Cases Spiking in MillennialsDid you know appendix cancer is suddenly way more common in millennials and Gen X? A new study found cases have tripled or even quadrupled for people born in the late '70s and '80s. It’s still super rare, but experts are sounding the alarm since one in three cases now hits people under 50. There aren’t any standard screenings, so knowing the symptoms (like pain, bloating, or sudden fullness) could make a huge difference. Wild, right? #HealthNews #CancerAwareness #Millennials30Share
rachel60+FollowFatty Foods, Liver Cancer & a Surprising FixDid you know a junk food diet can actually lead to liver cancer—even if you don’t drink? Scientists just found out that a gene called TIGAR (with help from p53) protects your liver from all that fat and sugar. The wild part? They think antioxidant therapy could copy this effect and help stop fatty liver disease from turning into cancer. This could be a game-changer for anyone who loves their snacks a little too much! #HealthNews #LiverHealth #ScienceUpdate283Share
Lisa Ramirez+FollowOzempic’s Real-World Results? Not So HotTurns out, those viral weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro aren’t living up to the hype in real life. A new study found people lost up to 50% less weight than what drug companies promised, and a ton of folks quit the meds early—mostly because of nasty side effects or the crazy price tag. Only 1 in 3 stuck with it for a year! Anyone else surprised? #Ozempic #WeightLoss #HealthNews #Health #BodyHealth12Share
Dr. Ryan Newton+FollowThis Common Pill Might Help You Hit 90Turns out, a drug millions already take for diabetes could be the secret to living longer—especially for women. Researchers found that women on metformin (not Ozempic!) had a 30% better shot at reaching age 90 compared to those on another diabetes med. Besides managing blood sugar, metformin’s been linked to everything from better fertility to lower cancer risk. The catch? The study wasn’t huge, but it adds to growing buzz that this cheap, old-school pill could be a real-life anti-aging hack. #Longevity #Metformin #HealthNews #Health #BodyHealth312Share
