This episode covers key health stories making headlines this week. We talk about Florida’s push to remove ultra-processed foods from public school meals and a new FDA-approved antibiotic for urinary tract infections (UTIs). There’s also an update on Alzheimer’s research, including a new blood test that may track its progression earlier.

We look at how artificial dyes in snacks are being phased out, how chewing gum might expose you to microplastics, and what recent data says about drug overdose deaths in the U.S. Also in this episode: a second successful pig kidney transplant, new reports on measles and bird flu cases, and rising concerns about pertussis and pediatric flu.
