    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A: Smartwatches do not cause anxiety in everyone, but constant monitoring may increase health-related worry in some people, particularly when normal fluctuations are repeatedly interpreted as signs of illness. A: "Wearable anxiety" is a non-medical term describing excessive worry or repeated checking triggered by health information from wearable devices. A: Not necessarily.

    Cannabis and Heart Health: 9% Fewer Extra Heartbeats in Users (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A: Cannabis can affect the cardiovascular system, but its effects on heart rhythm are complex. This study found fewer premature heartbeats among habitual users on cannabis-use days, but it does not establish that cannabis improves heart rhythm. A: Yes. Habitual cannabis users had about 9% fewer premature heartbeats on days they inhaled cannabis compared with days they abstained. The reduction was mainly due to fewer premature atrial contractions.

    Excerpt · English

    Viral Claim: Can You Really Identify Fake Rice at Home? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    A: There is no scientifically validated household test that can confirm plastic adulteration in rice. Burning rice, floating it in water or heating it in oil cannot reliably identify plastic. A: Floating rice does not prove that it contains plastic. Differences in density, drying and tiny air pockets can cause some genuine grains to float. A: A plastic-like smell or smoke after burning is not proof of fake rice. Genuine rice can produce odours and smoke as its starch, proteins and carbohydrates

    Can a Daily Glass of Fruit Juice Boost Your Mood? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A: A small 2026 randomized trial found that adults who added 100% fruit juice or a smoothie while increasing fruit and vegetable intake had lower depression scores after four weeks. However, the study does not prove that juice treats depression. A: Participants in the juice group were asked to include one daily serving of fruit juice or a smoothie as part of their fruit and vegetable intake intervention. A: The study examined 100% fruit juice, along with smoothies—not sugar-sweetened frui
