Coconut milk is a concentrated fat that can raise bad cholesterol levels and heart disease. This fat is also high in calories, with a 100-gram serving of canned coconut milk having three times as many calories as whole milk. According to dietitian Trista Best, a US-based supplements firm Balance One, dietitians also warn that the milk's rich and creamy flavor 'encourages larger portion sizes, thus raising calorie intake.'

According to the CDC, the recently modified Covid version BA.2.86 is more likely to cause infections in people who have already been vaccinated. However, the department said it was too early to know if this would cause more severe disease than other variants. However, there had been questions about the effect on vaccinations and previous infections due to the sheer number of mutations found in this lineage.

Official estimates indicate that live infections in the United States have nearly doubled in the last month despite the rise of two highly mutated forms. According to the most recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) results, the test positivity rate in the United States - the number of swabs that have come back positive - has risen from one in 15 in the week ending July 15 to one in eight by August 12. Test optimism is at its highest level in more than a year, according to the CDC. In many states, including Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana, one in six Covid swabs returned positive in the most recent week.

According to scientists, the patient was in Virginia and had recently flown to Japan. With the other in Michigan, the US case total number rises to two, raising the global number to seven infections in four nations.

After several employees tested positive, Lionsgate has brought in the rule for nearly half of the employees at its Santa Monica headquarters. Employees are now required to test themselves before coming to their desks in another pandemic trend, as well as alerting managers if they test positive or have symptoms of the virus. The company, which employs up to 5,000 people, said the regulations would remain in force "until further notice" until winter is officially four months away.

Government doctors and public health experts in Seattle have called for facial coverings to be made compulsory in all healthcare facilities once more in an article released by the American College of Physicians (ACP). The ten experts, from Seattle and King County's health department and the University of Washington, believed we should'find ways to adapt to this new reality rather than accepting unnecessary risks to patient and provider safety.'

Dr. Scott Gottlieb warned the variant, dubbed BA.X or BA.2.86, was a 'highly infectious' virus that could be more able to resist immunity than current circulating variants and spark infections. With other scientists' warning that case numbers may be 'doubling every week,' he suggested that it could be more transmissible than other strains. However, the top expert said there were no facts that the strain was more likely to cause severe disease and death. Previously, the virus has evolved to be less harmful but still able to spread. Despite concerns that the inoculations actually boost their immunity, all Americans are expected to get a Covid booster shot this winter, including healthy children and young adults.

According to researchers investigating the variant, called BA.X, or BA.2.86, a case has been found in Michigan. Despite fears that the strain is more widespread, a total of five cases have been recorded. The discovery was less than a day after experts told DailyMail.com that the virus was 'probably' already on American soil and likely spreading quickly globally. To date, five cases in four countries - the United States, Israel, Denmark, and the United Kingdom - have been reported, with more expected to be found in the coming days. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced on Thursday that it was now monitoring the mutant strain, while the World Health Organization (WHO) designated BA.2.86 as a 'variant under surveillance' because of the sheer number of mutations it contains.

Dr. Scott Gottlieb said the strain, dubbed EG.5, had mutations that helped it to prevent immunity from vaccines and other infections. However, he said it was "not that different" from previous Omicron strains, aiming to calm fears of hospitalizations and deaths. According to monitoring, EG.5 - one of the fastest-growing species yet — is currently behind one in five infections, but Dr. Gottlieb claims it was more likely to be half because of the lag in the data.

According to scientists, nearly nine percent of ten plant-based milks were inferior to cow's milk in terms of nutrients. They were missing at least one of the key three essential nutrients, but not necessarily one of them.

Juul Labs Inc, an e-cigarette manufacturer, has decided to pay $462 million to resolve allegations brought by six US states, including New York, California, Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, and New Mexico, as well as the District of Columbia. Juul is also facing a lawsuit in Minnesota, where a trial is now underway, as well as litigation or open investigations by Florida, Michigan, Maine, and Alaska.

Alex Berenson, a former New York Times reporter and prolific novelist, has been charged with censoring a tweet that cast doubt on its covid shots. Natural immunity has been lauded over vaccine-conferred immunity, according to the tweet, which may have jeopardized Pfizer's bottom line.

Overall, flu rates have increased more than threefold in the last month alone, with experts alerting that this could be the start' of America's worst flu season in at least a decade. The flu hospitalization in the United States are at their highest rate for this time of year in more than a decade (left). Seventeen states are already showing 'high' or'very high' rates of admissions to their hospitals, figures that are not normally seen until late November or December. The worst affected areas in Alabama, South Carolina, and Tennessee are among the nation's highest hospitalization rates, with hospitalization rates almost five times higher than the national average.

After being hospitalized in Ohio for three respiratory viruses at once, a child in the United States was hospitalized - as some fear this will be more widespread in the coming years. Wilder Jackson, 2, of Middletown, Ohio, just 30 miles north of Cincinnati, was fighting rhinovirus, enterovirus, and adenovirus at the same time.

Pfizer will increase the price to a single dose of the vaccine, which is expected to cost just $1.18 to make if the government uses up the doses it has already bought. Health insurers are expected to pay for the shots for those that have coverage, but Wall Street analysts predict that this could put upward pressure on insurance premiums. Up to this point, the US government has been paying $20 to $23 a slew of shots before handing them out for free to the public. Analysts predict that the change was made in order to ensure Pfizer would still reach its target of $32 billion in predicted vaccine sales this year.

Every fall, RSV, which can be fatal for babies, peaks, much like the flu. According to official surveillance results, this year's uptick began last month. The rate of under-fives, who are the most vulnerable, seems to have risen.

Influenza A is at the root of a viral outbreak that has resulted in nearly 1,000 students at Stafford County High School missing class last week. Multiple students infected with the disease have tested positive for the virus, and others have influenza A-like symptoms. After school activities on Tuesday, the school will not close and will reopen suspended.

About half of Stafford High School's 2,000 students were absent on Friday. A mysterious flu-like disease is causing an outbreak at the school. Some students have even reported health problems connected to the outbreak. Afterschool programs were postponed until Tuesday this week, but afterschool activities will resume.

Doctors warn that once common respiratory viruses that have been weakened by pandemic precautions are now back 'with vengeance.' The current respiratory virus season has now arrived, according to Dr. Scott Gottlieb, former FDA director (FDA). As fewer people have immunity, he cautioned that the season would be'more aggressive' than normal. The above graphs illustrate how RSV (top right) and flu (bottom right) infections are on the rise. There also may now be a rise in Covid cases (bottom left)

Federal judges have ordered that federal judges ban six different nicotine e-cigarette firms from marketing their cigarettes, but that did not have to follow administrative rules. The government departments said the businesses had been warned before that by continuing to sell their vaping, they were in breach of the legislation.

monkeypox could be the world's next pandemic, according to one expert, with around 30,000 cases recorded in the United States alone, home to the world's biggest outbreak.

After another 900 infections were added to the lead, America is now the world's only country with 10,000 monkeypox cases, reaching 10,392 on Wednesday. According to statistics, the United States accounts for just over a third of the global case count. Officials are scrambling to react to the surge, particularly in the face of a vaccine shortage. Each jab will be divided into fifths and deliver the shots intradermally, according to plans to rethink the monkeypox vaccine response. There is no evidence that backs this method.

Plans to reduce the dosage of monkeypox vaccine by 80% is expected by the FDA in an attempt to use limited shots more effectively. Instead of the usual delivery under the skin's fat, smaller doses will be delivered intradermally, in-between layers of the skin. Just as the fall semester begins around the world, America is approaching 9,000 confirmed cases of the virus, the world's largest outbreak. Experts are concerned that the behavior on college campuses this fall could lead to rampant spread of the virus this fall. Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the former FDA chief, said that the virus could also be contained over the weekend.

On Monday, the United States registered 1,424 new monkeypox cases, the highest single day count of the disease to date. Just as the fall semester begins around the world, America is approaching 9,000 confirmed cases of the disease, the world's largest outbreak. Experts are worried that student behavior this fall will promote rampant infection of the virus this fall. Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the former FDA Chief, said the virus could also be contained over the weekend.
