The controversy surrounding Dr. Mehmet Oz’s folinic acid sales reflects more than just interest in supplements; it also shows how medical policy and celebrity credibility clash.

Both cautious optimism and heated debate were triggered by the FDA’s recent decision to approve leucovorin, also known as folinic acid, for use in a subset of children with autism. During a high-profile press conference with President Trump, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Dr. Mehmet Oz, the announcement raised concerns about politics and profit while also highlighting the potential for a new therapy. Critics speculated within hours that Oz, who had previously owned stock in iHerb, a company that sells folinic acid supplements, might profit. Officials from the Department of Health and Human Services responded swiftly and with…
A remarkably similar replay of a cycle that audiences are all too familiar with—a celebrity death rumor gains traction, spreads incredibly quickly, and leaves fans scrambling for the truth—was created by the sudden influx of online posts claiming DC Young Fly had died in a car accident near Atlanta. His face appeared next to phrases like “Fatal Crash” in YouTube thumbnails, hashtags exploded, and headlines multiplied in a matter of hours. By morning, however, the assertion was shown to be untrue. The comedian was safe, demonstrating once more how shock value is a breeding ground for false information. For DC…
When you hear Marcus Luttrell’s name, one of the most horrific stories of contemporary warfare immediately comes to mind. He was known as the “Lone Survivor” because of his survival during Operation Red Wings in 2005. This moniker followed him into best-selling novels, a movie adaptation, and a long-lasting position as a supporter of people who have invisible scars from their service. His tale, which is both controversial and inspirational, effectively illustrates how one man’s life can become a representation of tenacity. Luttrell, who was raised in Texas with his twin brother Morgan, started training for a special operations career…
At Home Depot, the pursuit of penny items is remarkably similar to a treasure hunt, where customers can find deals that seem almost too good to be true with perseverance, curiosity, and a little bit of luck. Penny items are the silent byproduct of a markdown system, a coded signal in the store’s digital inventory, as opposed to conventional clearance events that are promoted with banners and flyers. Customers frequently discover them like hidden treasures, even though they are intended to serve as internal reminders that specific items need to be removed rather than as benefits for customers. Table: Home…
ABC has evolved from a television channel to a cultural institution that functions remarkably similarly to a civic utility, providing morning news, daytime drama, primetime comedy, and athletic events with remarkable efficiency. The question of what ABC owns goes beyond simply counting its assets; it also takes into account its multifaceted influence in the media, sports, and society. Eight strong local stations are owned by ABC: WLS in Chicago, WPVI in Philadelphia, KTRK in Houston, KGO in San Francisco, WTVD in Raleigh-Durham, KFSN in Fresno, WABC in New York, and KABC in Los Angeles. In addition to serving as regional…
One of the most surprisingly complex characters in Tulsa King was Jimmy “The Creek,” who Glen Gould portrayed with remarkable nuance. Although his position as an Indigenous marijuana farmer initially appeared incidental, it soon became a remarkably similar representation of the series’ overarching themes of survival, loyalty, and power. With disarming wit, strong morals, and an authenticity that made him unforgettable, Jimmy stood his ground in a show that was dominated by Sylvester Stallone’s formidable Dwight Manfredi. Bodhi, Dwight’s dispensary partner, introduced Jimmy, who at first seemed more like a colorful side note than a crucial ally. However, as talks…
Kaya Evdokia Klitschko, the daughter of Hayden Panettiere, is a remarkable example of how to combine Eastern European tenacity with Hollywood fame. Kaya was born in Hawaii in 2014 into a family that was already used to being in the spotlight: her father was a legendary figure in boxing history, and her mother was a well-known figure from Heroes and Nashville. A relationship that crossed continents and captured the attention of entertainment magazines appeared to be crowned by the birth of a child. However, parenting rarely goes as smoothly as it seems, especially when it’s accompanied by the spotlight of…
