Can Smartwatches Cause Health Anxiety? What to Know (opens the original)
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.

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

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)
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 smoothiesââ¬ânot sugar-sweetened frui
