If junk food can sit on your shelf forever with zero natural nutrients, can we even call it food? “It’s something else, and it’s composed mainly of three things: We have the refined sugars, the refined seed oils, and the refined starches—which are basically hidden sugars,” says nutritionist @dr_ericberg. “Then there’s food coloring and flavorings that you add onto it, and you have preservatives.” Berg then highlights the alarming numbers of people who consume these foods—over 50% of adults and 63% of teenagers. “This is really at the root of chronic disease,” he says.

What does it take to become an American Gladiator? “I don’t even say wins and losses. I say wins and lessons,” says elite power lifter Sydney Hunter. “There’s a reason that might have happened, and you just have to know that it’s going to be okay and that there has to be an explanation for it.”

AI-generated WAR LIES are flooding social media and making people money—are you falling for them? An example is a post claiming the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln was struck by Iranian missiles, which was reposted before being verified as fake. Some are working hard to stop this, like X. If you post an AI-generated war video without a disclosure, you get banned from creator revenue for 90 days. Do it again, and you’re permanently suspended from the program. Aside from fakes, many old pictures and videos are being reused to appear like new content. Have you already shared something that turned out to be fake? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

Muscle loss starts earlier than most women think: “Starting at around age 30, we can lose up to 1% of our muscle size each year,” warns fitness expert @JJVirgin. The good news is that building muscle doesn’t require complicated routines. Fitness expert JJ Virgin breaks down exactly what to do—and how much protein you actually need—in this new episode. “Muscle is your metabolic spanx. It holds everything in tighter and boosts your metabolism,” she says.

Women over 40 MUST build muscle. That’s the message from nutrition and fitness expert @jjvirgin. “Muscle is your metabolic spanx. It holds everything in tighter and boosts your metabolism.” And the clock is ticking. “Starting at around age 30, we can lose up to 1% of our muscle size each year,” says Virgin.

Too Much Vitamin C May Raise Kidney Stone Risk Experts caution that consuming large amounts of vitamin C—particularly 1,000 mg or more—may raise the risk of painful kidney stones, underscoring that higher doses don’t necessarily mean better health benefits.

California’s “billionaires tax” could hit 85%—so why would they stay? “The marginal tax is not 55%, it’s more like 85% when you add the state income tax to that,” says Professor Dr. Jim Doti as he breaks down why California’s proposal could push the ultra-rich out the door. If you were worth billions, would CA still be worth it for you?

California saw 2% job growth over three years—only two states performed worse. That’s according to economist Jim Doti, who notes the state also ranks 48th in state and local taxes. Coincidence?

China’s global ambitions are facing a MASSIVE reality check with Nicolás Maduro in U.S. custody and Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei dead. Meanwhile, a Chinese researcher pleaded guilty to trying to smuggle sensitive medical data to China. He’s been sentenced to one year in prison and is facing deportation. And did you know Chinese nationals have been receiving flight training in the United States? Some could one day pilot Chinese military aircraft in an attack on Taiwan. Now a lawmaker is sounding the alarm. @ChinaInFocusNTD breaks down these stories and more.

When she came to @ShenYun, Angelia Wang was not a Falun Gong practitioner. Then she discovered three teachings that would guide her life as a professional dancer. “Truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance, these actually guide me along my way in my dance career.” Angelia also describes how she never felt pressured to join Falun Gong, but was moved by how nice they all were.

The race for CA Governor 2026 is on: What does pastor @che_ahn bring to the table? “I’m campaigning on compassionate justice,” he says. “Lady Justice has a blindfold on, because it doesn’t matter who’s rich or poor. You want to do the right thing for the person.” “You have to uphold the law, and that’s what I’m going to do because I have a biblical value. And that justice is from the Bible that we have in our nation.”

Can handwriting REWIRE your brain? Scientists have been studying what happens inside your brain when you write by hand versus type, and the results are... unexpected. In 2014, researchers ran a simple but revealing experiment: They had Princeton students watch TED Talks, with half taking notes by hand and the other using laptops. The results were dramatic. The ones who wrote by hand scored 20% higher on conceptual understanding questions. Health journalist Makai Allbert says this makes sense when you think about it because typing is too easy. When you type, words flow from the ear to the fingertips, bypassing the brain entirely. After reading this, are you sticking with the keyboard—or feeling ready to pick up a pen? We’ll read you in the comments!

FAKE news and REAL news about the Iran war: What is China’s role in shaping the narrative? “This is an opportunity for communist China to knock down some of the alliances and prominence of the United States,” says analyst @GerardFilitti.

Inside the world’s ‘BIGGEST SCAM’: Steve Bannon breaks down how China’s property collapse cut ordinary people’s hard-earned investments to “50 cents on the dollar.” The CCP sold its own people on the dream of buying their way out of poverty through real estate, Bannon explains. But it just scammed them in the end. He also points out that Western banks and financial institutions were in on it as well.

25 YEARS OF BAD FAITH: Steve Bannon argues that the Chinese Communist Party didn’t just break promises on major deals—it never intended to keep them. “That’s our cash and resources going to the [CCP] for slave labor, products they made that they’re skimming 80% off the top.”

STEVE BANNON on President Donald Trump using tariffs to roll back decades of elites handing American jobs to China. “They’re a tool,” Bannon argues, that Trump is using to reorganize the world system of commerce after 40 to 50 years of de-industrialization.

Swap Peanuts for Pumpkin Seeds: A Kidney-Friendly Snack Pumpkin seeds are a nutritious, kidney-friendly alternative to peanuts, offering a crunchy snack that’s low in sodium and rich in healthy fats and minerals.

"This is beyond the comprehension of most people," says @GordonGChang. "And, you know, if you go back, let’s say over the last 10, 15 years, a lot of people have shied away from the accusations of organ harvesting because they were just too grotesque."

Seeing flashing lights or zigzags? This is what a migraine can actually look like. Dr. Rani Banik calls them visual auras and says they’re very common. “I would say about 50% of my practice is based on migraine and other types of headache patients,” she says.

Darker Chocolate Might Not Be Healthier: Daily Indulgence Could Trigger Inflammation While dark chocolate is often praised for its antioxidants, new research suggests that eating it every day could actually increase inflammation in the body.

HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYER: Liver transplants “shot way up” in China following the persecution of Falun Gong. “There were 167 that were state-approved. By that time, state-approved were still above ground and posting their figures, and so we just added those up, and we got 100,000 [annually],” says David Matas. Matas was one of the first independent investigators to look into forced organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners in China. Did you have any idea that this was happening on this scale?

72 cases of KILLING by organ harvesting: @JanJekielek points to the disturbing details discovered in Chinese research articles. “Maybe unbeknownst to the people writing the papers, they were revealing that they had actually killed people through the process of organ extraction.”

FORCED-ORGAN HARVESTING SURVIVOR: Peiming Cheng woke up to a foot-long scar across his side. Doctors then discovered he was missing a part of his lung and liver. “We put him through extensive medical testing, imaging, and everything else, and it's a pretty clear consensus that they took stuff out,” says former U.S. human rights official Robert Destro.

A single moment of rage can harm a relationship forever. Dr. Brad Jacobs reveals his methods for managing anger with his daughter and how it helped their bond. “I’d go in nature, I’d go for a walk, I would do some yoga, I’d do some breathing, play guitar, things for me that were regulating, then we can come back and readdress it.” Once calm, Dr. Jacobs explains that he would own his part and continue to follow through on discipline.
