DailyWire.com – After the debacle at the Paris Olympics where two boxers who reportedly have XY chromosomes battled for women’s boxing crowns, International Olympic Committee president Thomas Back told reporters that there was no “scientifically solid” method for determining whether an athlete is a man or a woman.
Referring to the 2028 Summer Olympics scheduled for Los Angeles, California, a reporter queried Bach, “There is no sign of the national federations sorting themselves out....
"There are so many ways these chemicals enter our bodies, so, it's not surprising that BPA was present in a large proportion of the women's urine samples we studied. It's important for us to understand how these plastics affect our health."

CNN – The Chicago White Sox made the wrong kind of history on Monday, falling to the Oakland Athletics 5-1 to tie an American League record with their 21st consecutive loss.
Chicago’s losing streak is the longest since the Baltimore Orioles opened the 1988 season with 21 straight losses.

“We talk about it every day,” said White Sox...
Mother Jones – In April, at the TED conference in Vancouver, BC, I watched a woman pull a variety of mushroom powders from her purse, scoop them into a thermos, and add hot water from a nearby tea station to make an earthy beverage.
Intrigued, I asked about her favorite health practices, and she started describing a recent trip to Costa Rica to get plasmapheresis. “It’s when they take your old plasma out, and they...
CNN – When women first competed in Olympic track and field events in 1928, they wore loose t-shirts and wide shorts, sometimes cinched with a belt.
Those breezy, decidedly non-aerodynamic silhouettes wouldn’t fly today (quite literally) as contemporary female sprinters, hurdlers and long-jumpers don tight performance spandex and high-cut briefs that purport to reduce drag and lessen chafing.

KFF Health News, JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Facing an ultracompetitive market in one of the nation’s fastest-growing cities, UF Health is trying a new way to attract patients: a combination emergency room and urgent care center.

Harrison Tinsley has won custody of his 4-year-old son Sawyer, whose mother tried to force him into a make-believe "non-binary identity" by making him wear dresses and makeup.
It took nearly a year and a half — and persistent efforts by a few soldiers and an independent investigative journalist, Seymour M. Hersh, who later won a Pulitzer Prize for his disclosures — for investigations to grind forward and the My Lai story to reach a stunned world.
