The Peptide Lip Treatment Movement Is Not Slowing Down
Vogue's Favorite Peptide Lip Treatments
This is not to say that Rhode's lip balm was the first to add peptides to its formula, but it surely was the one that popularized the trend—at a time when the ingredient was just joining the skin-care conversation. 'Peptides are short chains of amino acids that are the building blocks of proteins like collagen and elastin, which helps our skin maintain firmness and elasticity,' board-certified dermatologist Dr. Azadeh Shirazi tells Vogue. 'In skincare, peptides trick your skin into producing more of these supportive proteins. When used in lip products, peptides like palmitoyl tripeptide signal the skin to produce more collagen, leading to plumper, firmer, more hydrated lips over time.'
She goes on to explain that the skin on our lips is much thinner, more delicate, and more vulnerable to environmental stressors compared to the rest of our face; so, the gentleness of peptides makes them incredibly effective at improving fine lines, dryness, and volume loss. 'Plus, they're incredibly versatile as they hydrate, smooth, and subtly plump without causing irritation,' Dr. Shirazi.
That said, it's no surprise that the whole 'peptide lip treatment' trend has taken off the way it has—blending efficacy with modern, tasteful tints suited for no-makeup days or dressed up with a lip liner. 'We're living in a time where skincare meets glam,' celebrity makeup artist Lauren D'Amelio Ventre says. 'Consumers are no longer choosing between beauty and function, they want both. These formulas are working overtime to support barrier health, smooth texture, and even stimulate collagen. But yes, there's also a certain glassy, plush aesthetic that makes them totally addictive.'

Pfizer (PFE) Receives CHMP Recommendation For Adapted COVID-19 Vaccine COMIRNATY
BioNTech SE and Pfizer recently received a positive recommendation from the European Medicines Agency for marketing authorization of their COVID-19 vaccine, which likely contributed to Pfizer's share price increase of 8% in the last quarter. The company's advancements in COVID-19 vaccine development, alongside other product-related announcements like the XTANDI and BRAFTOVI trial results, added weight to this upward movement. Despite legal challenges and declining earnings, Pfizer's focus on innovation and strategic partnerships like the one with XtalPi possibly countered broader market moves, which saw a smaller 1% increase in the same period. We've identified 3 warning signs for Pfizer that you should be aware of. Trump's oil boom is here — pipelines are primed to profit. Discover the 22 US stocks riding the wave. The recent positive recommendation from the European Medicines Agency for the COVID-19 vaccine developed by BioNTech SE and Pfizer has contributed to an 8% increase in Pfizer's share price over the last quarter. This news may provide a temporary boost to Pfizer's revenue and earnings forecasts, especially as the company continues to innovate amidst legal challenges and declining earnings. The authorization could enhance immediate market confidence in Pfizer's product pipeline, impacting future revenue projections positively. Over the past year, Pfizer experienced a total return of 13.78% including dividends, reflecting a challenging period for shareholders. When compared to the broader US market's return of 17.2% over the same period, Pfizer has underperformed, highlighting investor concerns over competitive pressures and revenue growth prospects. The current share price movement toward the analyst consensus price target of $29.23 suggests a cautiously optimistic outlook among some market participants. Analysts' revenue forecasts reflect potential declines due to increased competition for existing products, yet others anticipate that strategic shifts in research focus, especially in oncology, might mitigate future earnings risks. With a modest increase of 8% in shares largely tied to vaccine authorization, it underscores the uncertainty surrounding longer-term performance relative to bearish analyst expectations.

The #1 Dairy Product for Better Blood Sugar, According to Dietitians
Reviewed by Dietitian Jessica Ball, M.S., RD If you're looking to manage your blood sugar, what you put on your plate truly matters. Stabilizing blood sugar levels isn't just about avoiding energy spikes or crashes; it's at the heart of supporting your long-term health, mood and even concentration throughout the day. The decisions you make in the kitchen can have a real impact on your body's ability to keep your blood sugar in check. Generally, dairy is a great addition to a diet focused on supporting healthy blood sugars. But with so many options in the dairy aisle, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. Is milk the best bet? Should you go for cheese? Or is there a clear standout? To settle the debate, we reached out to leading dietitians for their expert advice. Their answer was clear: yogurt is the #1 dairy product they recommend for better blood sugar. Curious why yogurt gets their vote? Read on to discover what makes it their top pick. Why We Love Yogurt for Better Blood Sugar Packed with Gut-Healthy Probiotics Yogurt is one of the best dietary sources of probiotics, which are live, beneficial bacteria that support gut health. But what does gut health have to do with blood sugar? A lot, as it turns out. Research suggests that a healthy gut microbiome may help regulate blood sugar by improving insulin sensitivity and reducing inflammation. Probiotics (like those found in yogurt) can promote a diverse and balanced gut microbiota, which plays a role in how your body processes and absorbs nutrients. Look for labels that mention "live and active cultures" to ensure you're getting a good dose of these beneficial bacteria in every serving. Toby Amidor, M.S., RD, CDN, FAND, notes that "consistent, beneficial associations were observed between fermented dairy foods and reduced risk of breast and colorectal cancer, type 2 diabetes, CVD and improved weight maintenance, bone and gut health." Rich in Protein for Better Satiety Protein is a macronutrient that plays a role in blood sugar control. It slows the digestion of carbohydrates, resulting in a more gradual release of glucose into the bloodstream. Data has shown that high-protein diets can be beneficial for managing blood sugar. Yogurt, particularly Greek yogurt, is an excellent source of high-quality protein. For example, a single serving of plain Greek yogurt can contain anywhere from 15 to 20 grams of protein. "Yogurt is great for blood sugar because it covers all the bases of helping prevent blood sugar spikes," shares Amanda Sauceda, M.S., RD. She highlights that yogurt is not only a great source of protein, but also "pairs well with fiber-rich foods like fruits and vegetables." This means that combinations like breakfast yogurt parfaits and savory yogurt-based dips are both tasty and beneficial for steady blood sugar. A Versatile Base for Balanced Meals Yogurt's versatility makes it easy to incorporate into a blood sugar–friendly diet. Whether you're adding it to smoothies, using it as a base for savory dips or topping it with fresh berries and nuts, yogurt can be adapted to suit your taste preferences and nutritional needs. Adding fruit with a low glycemic index (like berries or apples) along with healthy fats like chia seeds or nut butter can turn a plain bowl of yogurt into a balanced meal or snack. This combination of carbs, protein and healthy fats is ideal for keeping blood sugar levels steady. Helps Regulate Appetite One challenge in managing blood sugar is avoiding high-added-sugar snacks that may cause blood sugar spikes and crashes. Thanks to yogurt's high protein content and ability to promote satiety, this food may help curb your desire for a midday or late-night sweet bite. Amidor cites research showing that eating yogurt was linked to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes. She adds that, in one study, "eating just 80 grams of yogurt every day was linked with a 14% lower risk for type 2 diabetes." When it comes to the yogurt you choose, there are some tips to consider for better blood sugar management. "Choose plain, unsweetened yogurt without added sugar and feel free to top your yogurt with berries and walnuts, for a boost of natural sweetness, fiber and healthy fat," advised Lisa Young, Ph.D., RD. You can also add a dash of cinnamon or splash of vanilla to make the base even more flavorful. Other Tips for Healthy Blood Sugar While yogurt is an excellent addition to your diet, it's not the only strategy for maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. Consider these additional tips to support your overall health: Eat balanced meals: Combine complex carbohydrates, lean protein and healthy fats at every meal to slow glucose absorption and prevent blood sugar spikes. Choose whole grains: Opt for whole grains like quinoa, brown rice or oats instead of refined grains to provide lasting energy and stabilize blood sugar. Stay hydrated: Drinking enough water supports healthy kidney function, which helps flush excess sugar from your bloodstream. Exercise regularly: Physical activity can improve insulin sensitivity, making it easier for your body to transport glucose into cells for energy. Manage stress: Chronic stress can elevate cortisol levels, which may interfere with blood sugar regulation. Practices like meditation or yoga can help reduce stress and balance your hormones. Our Expert Take Yogurt stands out as the #1 dairy product for better blood sugar management, thanks to its low glycemic index, gut-healthy probiotics, high protein content and abundant calcium and vitamin D. In fact, the science supporting yogurt's benefits is stronger than ever. In March 2024, the FDA announced a new qualified health claim recognizing the association between yogurt consumption and a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes. This claim is based on an extensive review of research, highlighting yogurt's unique role in supporting better blood sugar outcomes. That said, it's important to remember that no single food, no matter how healthy, is a magic bullet. Blood sugar management requires a holistic approach, including a balanced diet, regular exercise and stress management. When choosing yogurt, opt for a variety with no added sugar and pair it with whole, nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables and nuts for the best results. Together, these choices can set you on the path to improved health and well-being. Read the original article on EATINGWELL

Missing Utah Camper with Diabetes Found Dead After Nearly 10-Day Search
Chad Burningham went missing from a campsite in Utah on Monday, July 14 A missing man with diabetes has been found dead after disappearing from a campsite 10 days ago. Chad Burningham, 42, was located by search and rescue dogs on Wednesday, July 23, the Tooele County Sheriff's Office (TCSO) announced in a news release shared on Facebook. Burningham — who was diabetic and required a daily intake of multiple medicines, per a GoFundMe page — had last been seen on July 14, leaving a campsite while camping with friends in Soldier Canyon, Stockton, at around 8:00 a.m. local time, KSL TV 5 reported, citing the TCSO. 'We extend our heartfelt condolences to Chad's family and loved ones," the TCSO said following their discovery, per the news release. "We also want to thank all the volunteers and partnering agencies who dedicated their time to the search — especially Dogs at Work Search and Rescue for their continued efforts." The investigation into Burningham's death is ongoing, the sheriff's office said, and as a result, 'no further information is available at this time.' It is currently unknown if Burningham had the device needed to treat his diabetes with him at the time of his disappearance. 'Family has told us he should have his insulin pump, but we haven't been able to confirm that,' Sgt. Dane Lerdahl of the sheriff's office previously said, per KSL TV 5. A fundraiser created after Burningham went missing is now raising funds for his funeral expenses. The late camper's family shared an insight into his medical situation in the description of the GoFundMe page. 'Chad is a diabetic with high blood pressure, a failing kidney, vision loss, and is on dialysis multiple days of the week. He takes several meds to keep moving forward,' the GoFundMe states. 'He has been in and out of the ER more times than I can remember in the last 6 months. Needless to say, his health does not support the ability to hike or even walk a long distance.' "He was so excited to go camping with his friends,' the fundraiser says. 'I imagine because this would be doing something that felt 'normal' and not house based.' The GoFundMe also alleges that Burningham went missing after telling the two friends he was camping with that he was going for a walk. He first 'woke them up concerned about a fire and wanting to leave,' per the fundraiser. After they told him there was no fire, Burningham 'told them he wanted to go for a walk,' at which point his friends 'turned around for a second and he was gone.' 'They mentioned that he went for a walk the day prior and came back within an hour. So at this point they were not worried and waited,' the GoFundMe adds. But 'after several hours of being gone they called the police.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. News that Burningham was found dead comes a week after the TCSO's last update on the search for him. On July 16, two days after he went missing, the sheriff's office stated on Facebook that the 'extensive efforts" to find the missing 42-year-old were still underway. The search and rescue efforts included the use of not only tracking dogs, but also drones, a helicopter and an airplane, the sheriff's office said. 'We have extensively searched the areas where we believe Chad may have been and our detectives are working on other potential leads," the TCSO said at the time. 'We sincerely thank the public for their continued support, awareness, and cooperation as we remain committed to bringing Chad home,' the update concluded. Read the original article on People
