Celsius Energy Drink May Contain Alcohol in Labeling Mixup
If you're about to crack open a cold can of Celsius Astro Vibe energy drink, Sparkling Blue Razz Edition, with a silver top, you might want to put it back in the fridge. A major labeling mix-up of popular alcoholic seltzers and popular energy drinks has led to a recall, according to a safety notice posted to the FDA website.
In what is basically a TikTok parody come true, alcoholic seltzer company High Noon said that beach-themed variety packs were mistakenly mislabeled as Celsius, a popular energy drink that does not contain alcohol (but does contain 270 mg of caffeine per can).

"The recall was initiated after High Noon discovered that a shared packaging supplier mistakenly shipped empty Celsius cans to High Noon," the FDA statement reads.
The affected cans were shipped to retailers between July 21 and 23 in Florida, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin. Celsius customers can check their labels for the exact recall codes.
"Consumption of the liquid in these cans will result in unintentional alcohol ingestion," the notice says.
No illnesses or adverse events have been reported for this recall to date, it adds.
A spokeswoman for High Noon told the New York Times in an email that the incident affects only a "small batch" but did not give a number.

"We are working with the [FDA] retailers, and distributors to proactively manage the recall to ensure the safety and well-being of our consumers," the spokesperson told the outlet.
The maximum amount of caffeine that's considered safe for healthy adults is 400 mg a day, according to the Mayo Clinic.

'Flesh-Eating' Bacteria Cases Rising on Gulf Coast: What to Know

Credit - BSIP/Universal Images Group—Getty Images At least eight people along the Gulf Coast have died and 22 others have been infected in what local health officials are warning is a rise in cases involving 'flesh-eating' bacteria. The Louisiana Department of Health issued an alert last week saying that there had been 17 cases of Vibrio vulnificus in the state so far this year. All of those patients were hospitalized, and four died. 'This represents a higher number of Vibrio vulnificus cases and deaths than are typically reported,' the department said. 'During the same time period over the previous 10 years, an average of seven Vibrio vulnificus cases and one death were reported each year.' Meanwhile, health officials in Florida have reported 13 cases this year, as of July 24. Four of those cases have resulted in death. Public health experts have generally attributed the rise in cases to climate change. Here's what to know about the bacteria. What is Vibrio vulnificus? Vibrio vulnificus is a type of Vibrio bacteria, many species of which can cause an infection known as vibriosis. Vibrio vulnificus bacteria 'cause the most serious forms of vibriosis,' according to the Cleveland Clinic. Infections can lead to painful blisters, fever, internal bleeding, organ damage, sepsis, and even death, the clinic said. Vibrio vulnificus can also cause necrotizing fasciitis, which is 'a severe infection in which the flesh around an open wound dies,' according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). While Vibrio vulnificus is often referred to as 'flesh-eating bacteria,' the CDC said that many public health experts don't consider it to be the most common cause of necrotizing fasciitis in the country. Read More: Be Careful Where You Swim This Summer How common are infections? Vibrio vulnificus infections are rare. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are only about 100 to 200 confirmed cases in the country each year. Infections caused by other types of Vibrio bacteria are more common than Vibrio vulnificus. There are about 80,000 vibriosis cases across the country every year, according to the CDC, about 52,000 of which are caused by eating food contaminated with Vibrio bacteria. How is the bacteria transmitted, and how can you protect yourself? Vibrio bacteria typically live in salt water and brackish water, which is a combination of salt water and fresh water, according to the CDC. People can become infected with Vibrio vulnificus from eating raw shellfish, typically oysters, according to the Cleveland Clinic. The bacteria can also infect people who are exposed to seawater or brackish water, via a wound or break in their skin. Most cases occur during the summer, between May and October, when the water is typically warmer. The Cleveland Clinic advises people to reduce their risk of getting infected by avoiding eating raw or undercooked shellfish, washing their hands after preparing or touching raw shellfish, and avoiding contact with seawater and brackish water if they have a wound or new piercing or tattoo, among other measures. Both the Louisiana and Florida Departments of Health warned people with health conditions that put them at increased risk—such as chronic liver disease, kidney disease, or other conditions that compromise their immune systems—to take extra care around the coast. Those individuals 'should wear proper foot protection to prevent cuts and injury caused by rocks and shells on the beach,' the Florida health department advised. Contact us at letters@

Long Covid Patients Can Sign up for Remote Clinical Trial Notification, Announces CareEvolution
At-home participation in a study by Scripps Research and Schmidt Initiative for Long Covid powered by CareEvolution's MyDataHelps® platform ANN ARBOR, Mich., August 05, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Long Covid patients around the U.S. looking to participate in a clinical trial from home can sign up to be notified when an upcoming study conducted by scientists at Scripps Research and supported by the Schmidt Initiative for Long Covid (SILC) opens. Patients can sign up on the Long Covid Treatment Trial (LoCITT) website. The upcoming study, powered by the MyDataHelps platform from CareEvolution, is a fully remote clinical trial investigating the efficacy of a repurposed drug for treating Long COVID. It will enroll 1,000 Long Covid patients from across the U.S. The app-based study enables participants to enroll and participate in all trial activities without having to visit a trial clinic. "Decentralized trials broaden reach, speed timelines and yield richer real-world evidence," said Vik Kheterpal, MD, a principal at CareEvolution. "LoCITT will help advance how efficiently we can run trials as we seek treatments for complex, heterogeneous conditions like Long Covid." Long Covid, which has affected the lives of 400 million people worldwide and costs the global economy an estimated $1 trillion per year, can often cause symptoms that make mobility and travel challenging for patients who want to participate in trials. The forthcoming Scripps Research-led trial will rely on the LoCITT platform to enroll patients, distribute drug candidates and placebos, as well as collect and evaluate trial data. "For people with severe Long Covid, travel can be dangerous," said Julia Moore Vogel, senior program director at the Scripps Research Translational Institute. "LoCITT enables even patients with the most severe symptoms to join the search for answers." Moore Vogel is co-principal investigator of the study alongside Scripps Research executive vice president Eric Topol. Remote trials, which eliminate the need for patients to report to clinics, enable easier and broader participation. Conducting a Long Covid trial remotely will also allow more representative cohorts—potentially leading to more generalizable findings. "We need aggressive, rapid efforts to turn the tide on this very difficult condition for all the patients who struggle with it," said John Redd, CEO of SILC. "We're hopeful that a remote trial will help us find effective treatments more quickly." CareEvolution adapted its existing MyDataHelps decentralized clinical trial platform specifically for the LoCITT trial, with the potential for it to be used by other research efforts. The platform will allow for patients to be screened, enrolled and randomized more swiftly. Potential treatments and placebos will be mailed directly to the participant's home, along with wearable devices and other technologies to collect patient data. CareEvolution's user-friendly platform allows patients to check their eligibility, provide consent electronically and respond to baseline and ongoing surveys about their symptoms. Patients selected for the study will receive wrist devices to monitor their heart rates, activity and sleep, potentially enabling the development of digital biomarkers for Long Covid and related conditions like myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), which can cause debilitating fatigue, and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), which can cause dizziness, fatigue and a rapid heart rate upon standing up. The data from the devices will be uploaded to LoCITT. Prospective participants who are 18 years of age or older and who believe they have Long Covid can sign up at to be notified when the Scripps clinical trial opens.

You're Ruining Your Gains If You Skip These 8 Recovery Foods
You're Ruining Your Gains If You Skip These 8 Recovery Foods originally appeared on Men's Fitness. Men's Fitness aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission. After an intense workout, the body needs to repair damaged muscle tissue. Pick the right food and you can jump-start that recovery process without ruining the gains you made in the gym. Amino acids—the building blocks of protein—are essential to bolstering recovery. And to ensure you get adequate amino acids, you need to eat protein. Your body also needs glycogen, found in carb-rich foods, since stores gets depleted during training. Eating a combo of protein and carbs is key to workout recovery, and foods that are good sources of both should become staples in your diet. Add these eight healthy eats to your diet to maximize recovery after a workout. Best Post-Workout Recovery Foods Lean Meat Although our bodies produce non-essential amino acids, we also need essential amino acids, ones that are not made in the body and must be consumed from our diets. One of the best sources of essential amino acids is lean meat such as chicken, turkey, and ground beef. According to the FDA, a 'lean' meat contains less than 10 grams of fat, 4.5 grams or less of saturated fat, and less than 95 milligrams of cholesterol per 100 grams. Choose meats that are at least 90 percent lean to ensure you're not getting too much saturated fat and cholesterol. Quinoa One cup of cooked quinoa contains about 8 grams of protein and 40 grams of carbohydrates, making it a nutrient-packed post-workout dish. Unlike other grains, quinoa is a complete protein since it contains all nine essential amino acids, which results in better muscle recovery and more energy. Plain Greek Yogurt Greek yogurt has 15 to 20 grams of protein per 6 ounces compared to 9 grams of protein in an identical serving of regular yogurt. The protein in Greek yogurt is predominantly casein, which digests slower than whey and boasts a full essential amino acid profile. Opt for plain Greek yogurt since it has substantially less sugar than flavored Greek yogurt. To really capitalize on the benefits of casein, eat it before bedtime for extended amino acid digestion. Smoothies Smoothies make a great post-workout recovery drink because of the instant absorption of a custom assortment of nutrients. Just be mindful of how much sugar you add—piling on the fruit can quickly turn a post-workout "nutrition shake" into a secret sugar bomb. Bananas Nature designed the humble banana to be a post-workout recovery machine. One serving includes about 27 grams of carbohydrates, an essential energy resource to ignite your body's muscle repair systems. Additionally, a potassium-packed banana replenishes the depleted electrolyte stores in your muscles, reducing soreness and speeding up the recovery process. The best part is that bananas are naturally sweet, which means it's an ideal addition to a post-workout protein shake or smoothie without adding any refined sugar. Low-fat Chocolate Milk The perfect recovery ratio of carbohydrates to protein is 4:1, according to a growing collection of studies. Chocolate milk matches this ratio better than any sugary sports drink, turning the lunch box staple into a powerful recovery option. A study from Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism also found exercisers are able to retain more than twice the amount of fluid in chocolate milk than in a sports drink after a workout, meaning the body is able to absorb more protein with less volume. Avocados Bananas get all the attention when it comes to potassium, but avocados actually have an average of 35 percent more per serving. The fruit is also full of monosaturated fats, which have been linked to reducing cholesterol levels. With an additional 3 grams of protein, vital for muscle growth, the avocado is a filling addition to a post-workout meal. Sweet Potatoes Another potassium powerhouse, the sweet potato contains 448 milligrams in one serving. Because of its orange hue it also comes packed with carotenoids—compounds that aid cell repair, which is vital during the recovery process after a workout. The starchy carbs from sweet potatoes also help restock energy stores, while the fiber will keep you full and encourage you not to spring for something less healthy later in the Ruining Your Gains If You Skip These 8 Recovery Foods first appeared on Men's Fitness on Aug 1, 2025 This story was originally reported by Men's Fitness on Aug 1, 2025, where it first appeared.
