Booze in energy cans: High Noon recalls vodka seltzer packs after dangerous mix-up
The mix-up happened when a packaging supplier accidentally shipped empty Celsius cans to High Noon's facility, where they were filled with the alcoholic beverage.
Though labeled as Celsius Sparkling Blue Razz (with silver lids instead of standard black lids), these cans contain High Noon's 4.5% alcohol vodka seltzer, creating serious risks for children, pregnant women, or those avoiding alcohol for health or religious reasons.
The affected products shipped to eight states between July 21-23: Florida, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin . Consumers should check 12-pack lot codes printed on box exteriors: L CCC 17JL25 14:00 to 23:59
L CCC 18JL25 00:00 to 03:00
Individual Celsius cans with silver lids and bottom codes L CCB 02JL25 2:55 to 3:11 are also unsafe . No illnesses have been reported, but the FDA warns 'consumption will result in unintentional alcohol ingestion'.

No Alzheimer's Drug for Old Men?
Increasing evidence shows that anti-amyloid Alzheimer's treatments can slow disease progression and give patients years more of quality time with loved ones. So will the Trump Administration at long last drop the Biden rules that restrict access to these medicines? Two studies presented at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference last week show that the benefits of amyloid-clearing monoclonal antibodies by Eli Lilly and Biogen-Eisai grow over time. The drugs slowed cognitive decline in clinical trials used for Food and Drug Administration approval by some 25% to 36% over 18 months. In follow-up studies, these benefits doubled at three years for Lilly's treatment and roughly quadrupled over four years for Biogen-Eisai's. That's great news for patients. The findings are especially notable because critics argued for limiting Medicare coverage of the drugs on grounds that their benefits might not be durable. They dismissed the entire class of anti-amyloid drugs because earlier experimental treatments failed in trials. But trial and error often lead to discovery. Roche last week presented promising trial data on its experimental amyloid-clearing antibody. Roche and other drug makers also plan to test whether such treatments can prevent Alzheimer's. In an unprecedented move, the Biden Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in 2022 restricted access to all anti-amyloid drugs approved by the FDA because it wasn't convinced they were 'reasonable and necessary.' As a result, Alzheimer's patients who want the treatments—and doctors who want to prescribe them—must jump through bureaucratic hoops. The Biden CMS claimed such restrictions were necessary to obtain more evidence of treatment benefits, though the agency had never before limited access in this way for an FDA-approved drug. Seventy-four House Members, including 38 Democrats, in 2023 urged CMS to remove its restrictions. As did 23 state Attorneys General. Medicare's coverage restrictions create 'a barrier to care for older Americans, especially individuals living in rural and underserved areas,' the AGs wrote. The Biden CMS remained unmoved. The new studies provide more evidence and cause for CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz to reverse course. Alzheimer's patients deserve a right to try too.

Bryan Johnson's latest anti-ageing experiment turns his urine blue; know his million-dollar health routine that aims to help him live forever
Bryan Johnson , the tech entrepreneur best known for spending millions annually to slow his ageing process, is once again in the spotlight. The 47-year-old millionaire recently revealed that his latest biohacking experiment taking methylene blue has turned his urine bright blue. Johnson shared the update with his followers on X (formerly Twitter), writing: 'My urine is now blue.' While the comment might sound tongue-in-cheek, Johnson is entirely serious. Methylene blue is a legitimate, FDA-approved compound with a long history in medicine and now, a rising trend in the biohacking community. Bryan Johnson's new anti-ageing experiment : What is it and is it trending Methylene blue (MB), or methylthioninium chloride, is a cobalt-coloured synthetic dye originally used in the textile industry. In the late 1800s, it was repurposed as a medical treatment—first for malaria, and later for a rare blood condition called methemoglobinemia, where red blood cells can't transport oxygen effectively. Today, the FDA approves methylene blue for: Treating blood disorders like methemoglobinemia Managing cyanide poisoning Supporting certain neurological conditions However, in the biohacking and anti-ageing community, methylene blue is gaining traction for something else: its potential to enhance mitochondrial function. Mitochondria, often dubbed the 'powerhouses of the cell,' play a key role in energy production and cellular health. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Jolie-Pitt Family Shows Support For Shiloh's Change Drivepedia Undo Enthusiasts believe that by improving mitochondrial performance, methylene blue might boost memory, slow ageing, and improve physical stamina. 'Like I'm in Avatar': Bryan Johnson's extreme biohacking lifestyle If methylene blue seems like an odd addition, it's worth noting that Johnson's wellness regimen is anything but ordinary. The Blueprint project, Johnson's full-time longevity protocol, involves: A 100+ supplement stack Precision-controlled sleep, diet, and exercise Plasma infusions (including from his teenage son) Experimental therapies, tracked with over 50 biological markers His latest addition of methylene blue, is just one of many. Johnson claims he's already experiencing vivid results, joking that he now feels 'like I'm in Avatar.' It's a surreal visual, but for him, it signals that the compound is taking effect. According to Johnson, his biological metrics are already outperforming his age: Heart health comparable to a 37-year-old Lung capacity similar to an 18-year-old Skin elasticity more like that of a 10-year-old Is methylene blue safe for anti-ageing use While the biohacking community may be buzzing about methylene blue, medical professionals are urging caution. Though methylene blue is FDA-approved for specific conditions, using it as a nootropic or anti-ageing therapy is still highly experimental. Potential risks and side effects include: Serotonin syndrome: dangerous when combined with antidepressants Blood disorders: unsafe for individuals with G6PD deficiency Kidney risks: should be avoided by those with renal issues Pregnancy risks: not recommended during pregnancy Allergic reactions: known sensitivities can trigger severe symptoms According to Harvard Health Publishing, the research on methylene blue's longevity benefits remains limited and inconclusive. While early animal studies and some human trials suggest potential cognitive and metabolic improvements, clinical evidence is not yet strong enough to support widespread use. Bryan Johnson's biohacking journey continues: From methylene blue to IHHT therapy Methylene blue is far from the only new therapy in Johnson's pipeline. Just before revealing his blue-tinged biohack, he began IHHT (Intermittent Hypoxia-Hyperoxia Training)—a therapy that alternates between oxygen deprivation and saturation via a breathing mask. IHHT is claimed to: Improve cardiovascular health Boost brain function Stimulate mitochondrial resilience Potentially slow signs of ageing Clinics across Europe and the US are now offering IHHT to clients interested in peak performance and anti-ageing benefits. However, like most interventions in the longevity field, IHHT is still experimental, and long-term research is lacking.

State issues new mid-day meal guidelines
In a significant step to enhance food safety in schools, the Maharashtra government has issued a comprehensive Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) under the Pradhan Mantri Poshan Shakti Nirman Yojana. The SOPs aim to prevent incidents of food poisoning and lay out strict responsibilities for school authorities, teachers, cooks, education officers, and food safety departments to ensure that meals served to students from Classes 1 to 8 are hygienic, nutritious, and safe. A key provision mandates that headmasters or designated teachers must taste the cooked meal at least 30 minutes before it is served to students. (REPRESENTATIVE PHOTO) According to the new guidelines, school management committees (SMCs) must verify the quality and expiry dates of food supplies, including rice, oil, and spices, before accepting them from vendors. Grains must be stored above ground level in clean, pest-free environments. Drinking water tanks are to be cleaned regularly, and proper handwashing facilities with soap must be made available to all students. Meals must be prepared only in designated kitchen areas. A key provision mandates that headmasters or designated teachers must taste the cooked meal at least 30 minutes before it is served to students. If available, parents may also participate in this process. Feedback regarding the meal's taste, smell, and appearance must be recorded in an official register. Food is to be served only if it meets acceptable standards. Cooks and helpers involved in meal preparation are required to undergo medical check-ups every six months. They must wear clean clothing, keep their nails trimmed, and wash their hands with soap before cooking. Staff are also instructed to follow the 'first in, first out' method to ensure proper grain rotation and prevent mixing old and new supplies. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will oversee the implementation of food safety measures, conduct training sessions for school staff on hygienic food handling practices, and periodically test food and water samples from schools. In the event of a food poisoning incident, the SOP outlines a clear emergency response protocol. Affected students must be isolated and taken to the nearest healthcare facility without delay.
