Is coffee good or bad for you? That may depend on your genes
Latte, pour-over or double double: no matter how you grind or brew it, many Canadians start their day with a cup of coffee.
Coffee — more specifically, caffeine — can be a great way to feel more alert and awake. But what else is that cup of coffee doing to our health?
According to experts, it depends.
“In popular press, one day coffee is good for you, another day it’s bad for you, another day it doesn’t do anything,” said Sara Mahdavi, a clinical scientist at the University of Toronto.

Lizzo Cancels Montreal Concert Over Health Concerns, Details Her Symptoms
Due to health circumstances, Lizzo has been forced to make the difficult decision to cancel her concert in Montreal.
The “Truth Hurts” singer appeared to be hurting pretty badly herself when she shared the news in a video message posted to Instagram on Thursday.
A tearful Lizzo — wearing a face mask and wrapped in a blanket — explained that she’s currently suffering from an illness that makes it impossible for her to perform.
“I had a sore throat last night and a headache, and I went to bed. I woke up this morning and my body is weak and…
Join letters call on province to address mental health crisis
Three teachers’ unions and a prominent youth advocacy group are urging the provincial government to bolster mental health literacy in the education curriculum and invest in additional school support workers.
In a joint letter issued to Education Minister Stephen Lecce on Monday, the groups also called on the government to include mental health or behavioral reasons as an excused absence under the Education Act. Currently, the act allows for “sickness or unavoidable causes,” but does not explicitly mention mental health.
The letter, signed by a total of nine organizations, comes amid a rising mental health crisis among Canadian youth and…

The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit (WECHU) will ease masking guidelines at its facilities next week.
Starting Monday, the health unit will no longer require COVID-19 screening or mask use at its facilities in Windsor and Leamington. However, visitors will still be asked to consider masking up on the premises.
“While it will be optional to wear a mask in WECHU offices, it remains strongly encouraged that visitors wear a mask when accessing direct client care services,” read the notice from the health unit. “WECHU staff will be required to wear a medical-grade mask…
Eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia are more severe than ever
The pandemic worsened the incidence of anxiety and depression — both are risk factors for triggering or worsening eating disorders.
While eating disorder-related visits dipped slightly after a peak in 2021, they’re nowhere near pre-pandemic levels as adolescents and younger teens cope with the after-effects of Covid, such as grieving for family members who have died, falling behind in school or losing touch with friends.
And the patients coming in with eating disorders are in a more serious condition now, with both mental and physical symptoms appearing more urgent, experts say.
“They’re sicker than before, and they’re more complicated than…

How Are States Spending Money From the Opioid Settlements? It’s Not Easy to Know
Opioid painkillers have left millions of Americans addicted or dead over the past three decades. Now, state and local governments are receiving more than $50 billion in settlement funds from the companies accused of aggressively promoting those medications. Many people see the money, which will be distributed over the next 15 years, as an opportunity to transform the country’s addiction treatment landscape.
But many states aren’t being transparent about where dollars are going, and others are facing contentious battles over what should be funded. Although most of the settlements require states to spend the bulk of the money on addiction…
