- Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing women's healthcare by providing personalized risk assessments and improving diagnosis for conditions like breast cancer and endometriosis, though it must be managed to avoid perpetuating biases.
- A study emphasizes that the quality of food consumed is more crucial than merely cutting carbohydrates or fats, with high-quality, minimally processed foods significantly reducing the risk of coronary heart disease.
