Flu test positivity is already at 5.7%, versus under 1% this time last year, and a newly mutated H1N1 strain may be better at slipping past existing immunity. We explain what that means for this year’s flu shot and why antivirals work best within 48 hours. Plus: a review of more than 7,200 studies finds about two drinks a day carries a 1-in-25 lifetime risk of dying from alcohol-related causes; low-dose aspirin was tied to 70% lower dementia risk in one genetic group, but with double the bleeding; a 91,000-person analysis shows blood pressure pills only protect you if you take them; a paint-on liquid stopped cavities in more than half of kids’ baby teeth without a drill; and how the Mediterranean diet may boost tiny protective proteins. Quick hits on an ear device for blood pressure, a blood test that may flag IBD 10 years early, a 1.5-million-pound meat recall, and tips for when the clocks fall back Sunday. This show is for understanding the news, not medical advice.
