While everyday Americans battle stagnant wages and a rising cost of living, one sector is quietly poised to receive a multi-billion-dollar tax windfall: Silicon Valley. At the center of this lucrative break is a little-known clause tucked inside a new Senate GOP spending bill—one that could funnel more than $17 billion back into the bank accounts of tech investors. And it’s no coincidence that Silicon Valley’s financial backing for Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign lines up with this moment of reward.

In a span of just two weeks, two independent studies have emerged with a startling conclusion: frequent reliance on artificial intelligence, especially large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, may be impairing our cognitive development rather than enhancing it.

A comprehensive new review has found that intermittent fasting (IF) delivers similar weight loss results as traditional calorie restriction (CR), offering individuals greater flexibility in choosing a diet strategy that suits their lifestyle. Published on June 18 in The BMJ, the systematic review evaluated nearly 100 randomized clinical trials comparing IF and CR. The analysis concluded that both dietary approaches were equally effective not only in promoting weight loss but also in improving cardiometabolic health markers. One form of intermittent fasting, known as whole-day fasting or the 5:2 diet, showed marginally greater weight loss compared to traditional calorie restriction. However,…

Carbohydrate loading, or carb loading, is a strategic approach used by endurance athletes to maximize glycogen stores in the body ahead of prolonged, high-intensity exercise. This technique typically involves increasing carbohydrate intake while simultaneously tapering physical activity for one to three days. Since glycogen—carbohydrates stored in the liver and muscles—is the primary fuel source during sustained exertion, elevating these reserves can help delay fatigue and enhance performance. However, carb loading is not universally necessary; it’s most effective for endurance events lasting longer than 60 minutes. For shorter or less intense activities, its benefits may be minimal. In this article, we’ll…

In a recent message to employees, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy delivered a clear, if carefully worded, signal about the company’s future direction: artificial intelligence is in, and some human jobs may soon be out. Framed as a transformative leap forward, Amazon’s embrace of generative AI is being touted as a driver of innovation, efficiency, and operational evolution. But between the lines, Jassy’s remarks strongly suggest that Amazon is preparing to reduce its corporate workforce as AI tools begin to automate tasks currently handled by people. While the company is positioning AI as a breakthrough, the underlying message is unmistakable—Amazon is…
Cortisol, often referred to as the “stress hormone,” plays a vital role in regulating your body’s response to stress, metabolism, blood sugar levels, and more. While it’s normal for cortisol levels to rise and fall throughout the day—particularly during moments of physical or emotional stress—persistently elevated levels may signal a deeper health concern. Chronic high cortisol can disrupt many essential body functions and may point to conditions such as Cushing’s syndrome, prolonged stress, or hormonal imbalances. Recognizing the signs early can help prevent long-term complications and support better overall health. In this article, we’ll explore the common symptoms of high…
