FACT OR FICTION? WELLNESS MYTHS DEBUNKED
 

From your alarm clock and mattress to your microwave and fridge - FRED KELLY reveals how
All of us strive for our five a day, in the belief that they are good for us. But a shocking analysis of research by government scientists revealed last month that consuming all this fruit and veg could actually be quietly harming us. It showed that 95 per cent of the 'health-giving' strawberries we'll eat this summer will come with an unwanted dose of toxic chemicals called PFAs - poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances - that can remain in our bodies for years. Grapes are a little safer, according to the analysis by campaign group Pesticide Action Network, but 61 per cent of the samples they looked at contained the toxins, while 56 per cent of cherry samples, 42 per cent of spinach and 38 per cent of tomatoes had them. Yet the chemicals we eat aren't the half of it. Everywhere, the safety of our daily lives has been compromised by an insidious influx of dangerous contaminants. Here, FRED KELLY takes us on a disturbing minute-by-minute journey detailing the array of chemicals, insidious synthetic materials and radioactive hazards we face from morning to night in our own homes.

Many of our clients confess that they're supplement junkies. Taking one every day will supercharge their diet, helping the pounds melt away seamlessly, they tell us. When they're not taking them for weight loss, they're popping the pills in the hope they will have more energy, reduce disease risk or send them to sleep. Four in five Americans take supplements - and, as a nation, we spend $159billion on the stuff every year. We're about to save you a lot of cash - because, providing you're eating a relatively healthy diet, many of the pills and powders on the market are unlikely to make much difference to your health at all.

A DOCTOR WRITES... TIPS FROM THE EXPERTS
 

ER doctor claims simple thumb test can tell if you'll suffer a deadly ruptured artery... but is he right? Experts weigh in...

ER doctor Joe Whittington from California sent the internet into a frenzy this week, sharing a simple test that he said could be a sign that you have a silent, dangerous disorder lurking near the blood vessels in your heart. The test, which was coined the thumb-to-pam test by Yale Cardiologists, has patients lay their hand flat on a table and reach their thumb across their palm. If the thumb protrudes off the opposite side of the hand, Dr Whittington said it could be a sign that you have a collagen deficiency, and are much more likely to have a dangerous swelling of your blood vessels, called an aneurysm. But just as soon as it went viral, Dr Whittington's post vanished and it appears to have been deleted from his TikTok account , prompting people to question whether what he shared was correct.
