Rogan noted that he didn’t have to quit and that he enjoyed it, but that the days after drinking were «just too rough.»
«And I’m like, ‘What kind of a moron who takes so good care of his body is poisoning himself a couple days a week for fun?’» he went on. «Why am I doing that?»
Rogan, who is also a UFC commentator, said he asked himself, «Will I still have the same amount of fun if I don’t poison myself?»
‘»It turns out, yes,» he said.

How a New Weight-Loss Pill Could Transform Health

In an hour-long meeting at Eli Lilly and Company’s headquarters in Indianapolis on April 15, the pharmaceutical company’s top executives met, like they had dozens of times before, to hear the long-awaited results of a study involving a new drug.

[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]

There’s always a lot riding on these presentations, called readouts. But this one, for Lilly’s first diabetes and weight-loss pill based on the GLP-1 hormone, was particularly fraught. Days before, rival pharma giant Pfizer had announced it was abandoning its oral weight-loss drug after worrying side effects involving liver problems were reported in one participant in the trial. It was the second drug in its class that had failed for Pfizer.

So, David Ricks, Lilly’s CEO, was understandably cautious. It was the latest in a string of milestone moments for the understated leader of the country’s most dynamic pharmaceutical company. Lilly executives took TIME inside the complex process of developing the new pill ..

Rising autism rates now affect 3% of children, says CDC report

New data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has revealed climbing autism rates among children.
In 2022, a surveillance program called The Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network began monitoring children aged 4 to 8 across 15 U.S. states, focusing on multiple benchmarks of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Among 8-year-old children, researchers found that one in 31 children — more than 3% of America's kids — had ASD.
BILL GATES LIKELY HAD AUTISM AS A CHILD, HE REVEALS: ‘WASN’T WIDELY UNDERSTOOD'
ASD was found to be 3.4 times more likely in boys than girls, and the prevalence was lower among non-Hispanic White children.
The CDC confirmed that ASD prevalence among 8-year-olds was higher in 2022 than the previous year, as one in 36 kids were diagnosed with autism in 2020.
By 48 months of age, identification of ASD was higher among children born in 2018 than among those born in 2014, which suggests «increased early identification consistent ..

Gun Injuries of All Kinds Go Up During Hunting Season

About half of Americans have a gun in the home, and hunting is a major reason why. When hunting season rolls around each fall, guns suddenly become more visible: hunters take firearms out of storage, clean and maintain them, and go to the store to purchase more guns and ammunition. As researchers, we wondered if this has any effect on gun injuries: not just during hunting, but overall. To our surprise, it did—in a big way.

[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]

Published April 16 in the BMJ, our study of four consecutive deer-hunting seasons used data from the Gun Violence Archive, which records firearm incidents from police reports and news outlets and has proven useful for epidemiological study. We looked at different types of firearm incidents across both rural and urban settings. Despite hunting being an activity that is often associated with rural communities, about 75% of deer hunters actually live within metropolitan areas.

We found that across 10 states, the start of deer hunting..

Dementia risk connected to cannabis-related hospital visits, says study

Adults who have visited the hospital due to cannabis use could be at a higher risk of developing dementia.
A new study by the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES) found that individuals who had an emergency department visit for using cannabis were at a 23% greater risk of a dementia diagnosis within five years.
People who were hospitalized were at a much larger 72% risk of dementia.
DEMENTIA RISK COULD DIP WITH COMMON VACCINE, STUDY SUGGESTS
The study, published in JAMA Neurology, analyzed health data from Ontario, Canada, between 2008 and 2021, in more than six million individuals aged 45 to 105 years old.
The research found that 16,275 of these individuals had acute care due to cannabis use. Sixty percent of these individuals were men, according to a press release.

8 Ways to Respond to an Apology Besides ‘It’s OK’

Not all apologies are created equal. While a good one can’t always fully undo the damage that’s been done, apologies help people on the receiving end feel validated, emotionally heal, and even ease a desire for revenge, says Seiji Takaku, a professor of psychology at Soka University of America in Aliso Viejo, Calif., who has researched forgiveness. If you’re on the receiving end of a sorry attempt to make amends, on the other hand, it might feel just as offensive as the original transgression.

[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]

How someone apologizes will determine how you respond. We asked experts what to say in a variety of situations—including when you want to accept the apology, when you definitely don’t, and when you simply need more time to forgive.

“Thanks for explaining why you did what you did without making an excuse.”

A genuine apology includes a number of ingredients, Takaku says: The person has to clearly note what they’re apologizing for, explain their actions without m..

Common medical test linked to 5% of cancers, study suggests: ‘Use them wisely’

CT scans, or CAT scans, are widely used to get internal images of the body and diagnose dangerous medical conditions — but they could pose a hidden risk.
A new study from the University of California — San Francisco found that CT (computed tomography) scans could be responsible for 5% of all cancer diagnoses each year, according to a press release.
«While some uncertainty exists, it doesn’t significantly affect the core conclusion: A small but meaningful percentage of cancers are linked to CT scans, and this number can be reduced,» first author Rebecca Smith-Bindman, MD, a UCSF radiologist and professor, told Fox News Digital.

The researchers’ estimates show that the ionizing radiation exposure from CT scans is comparable to other significant risk factors, such as alcohol consumption and excess body weight.
