🇺🇸BIRD FLU FOUND IN BEEF FOR FIRST TIME

The USDA found bird flu in a dairy cow’s beef, but it did not enter the food supply.

Beef remains safe, and cooking to 165°F kills the virus.

The virus was detected in one of 96 tested cows.

Public risk is low, though two farmworkers were recently sickened.

🚨 OZEMPIC DRAMATICALLY CUTS KIDNEY DISEASE RISKS

A major clinical trial found that semaglutide, the compound in Ozempic, significantly reduces kidney complications in Type 2 diabetes patients.

Participants had a 24% lower risk of major kidney events and were less likely to die from cardiovascular issues.

These results could transform treatment for chronic kidney disease, which affects over 1 in 7 U.S. adults.

The FDA may soon approve Ozempic for this new use, potentially increasing demand for the drug, which is already in high demand for weight loss.
