Long-Term Nitrite Intake Linked to Higher Colorectal Cancer Risk in Men, Swedish Study Finds

A Swedish analysis of two large cohorts (82,009 participants) over 20 years links higher dietary nitrite intake to greater colorectal cancer risk in men (HR 1.23 for highest vs lowest quintile; p-trend = 0.05), strongest for distal colon cancer (about 50% higher). No association with nitrate or in women. Men reported higher nitrite exposure partly from meat, while women mostly from vegetables. Limitations include self-reported diet and possible confounding; more research is needed to understand why men are affected.

Why men are keeping weight-loss injections under wraps

BBC follows comedian Steffen Peddie’s personal use of weight-loss injections (Wegovy) to shed over 8 stone and examines why men discuss such treatments less openly than women. With about 1.6 million adults in England, Wales and Scotland estimated to have used weight-loss drugs in 2024–25 (often bought privately), the piece shares men’s experiences, the stigma and privacy surrounding use, reported side effects, and medical calls for open discussion and routine monitoring to ensure safe, effective use.

Iraola finds lessons in Chicago as Liverpool's USA tour continues

Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola called the 4-2 loss to Leeds in Chicago a valuable, instructive result on their USA pre-season tour, with a promising first half followed by a Leeds comeback that highlighted areas to improve as the squad builds for the season; Florian Wirtz, Isak and Gravenberch made their first pre-season appearances, Jeremie Frimpong was withdrawn due to overload (not injury), and the club stressed learning and readiness for the new campaign.

Dad Brain Is Real: Fatherhood Rewires the Brain for Better Parenting

Dad Brain Is Real: Fatherhood Rewires the Brain for Better Parenting

New research shows 'dad brain' is real: fatherhood reshapes men’s brains in ways that boost readiness to parent and may slow brain aging, with more time spent with infants linked to greater brain changes. Experts say these adaptations are positive, reflecting conscious investment in children, and even suggest the popular ‘dad bod’ can be attractive; the piece also notes that brain changes depend on how actively dads engage with their kids, and that second-time parenting brings more fatigue but different cognitive demands.

The new sperm-maxxing era: can lifestyle tweaks lift male fertility?

The new sperm-maxxing era: can lifestyle tweaks lift male fertility?

Facing declining male fertility, more men are trying to boost sperm counts through lifestyle changes—better diet, regular exercise, improved sleep, reduced alcohol, and avoiding plastics—giving rise to a growing “spermmaxxing” trend fueled by influencers and wellness startups. Experts caution that only evidence-based habits (healthy BMI, not smoking, moderate alcohol, heat avoidance) have proven impact, and warn against unproven ‘stacking’ or extreme measures without clinical guidance. Personal stories illustrate improvements after lifestyle changes, while doctors stress the importance of proper semen analysis and professional medical advice rather than self-diagnosis. The piece also highlights the stigma around male fertility and the need for more open discussion and research in this area.

HPV vaccine cuts cancer risk for boys and men, new study shows

A large study finds the HPV vaccine halves the risk of HPV-related cancers in men; protection is strongest when vaccinated early (about 42% reduction for ages 9–14 and about 50% for ages 15–26), with catch-up vaccination up to 26 and shared clinical decision‑making for 27–45. Public health guidance emphasizes routine vaccination at ages 11–12 to prevent cancer across sexes and expand protection against multiple HPV strains.

HPV vaccination may halve men's cancer risk, study suggests

A large retrospective study in JAMA Oncology found that giving the nine-valent HPV vaccine to boys and young men markedly lowers their risk of HPV-related cancers. Analyzing 510,260 vaccinated and an equal number of unvaccinated males aged 9–26 over up to 10 years, researchers reported an overall hazard ratio of 0.54 (about a 46% risk reduction) for those who received at least one dose. Protection appeared in both younger teens (ages 9–14: HR 0.58, ~42% reduction) and young adults (ages 15–26: HR 0.50, ~50% reduction). The authors urge sex-neutral vaccination policies, though they note limitations such as possible misclassification and unmeasured sexual behaviors.

High tyrosine linked to shorter lifespans in men, large study suggests

High tyrosine linked to shorter lifespans in men, large study suggests

A UK Biobank study of more than 270,000 participants found higher blood tyrosine levels linked to shorter life expectancy in men—potentially shaving nearly a year off lifespan—with no clear effect in women. After adjusting for related amino acids and factors, phenylalanine showed no association. Possible explanations include insulin resistance and sex-specific hormone pathways; the study does not test tyrosine supplements directly, but results suggest dietary protein or tyrosine levels could influence aging, warranting further research.

Lower eyelid surgery helps a Raleigh grandfather look fresher and feel more confident

A 56-year-old Raleigh businessman, John Fleming, underwent lower blepharoplasty to remove excess fat and skin under the eyes, addressing bags that made him look tired. The procedure, done under general anesthesia and costing about $5,000, took about an hour. About two months post-op, he reports looking fresher and more energetic and feels more confident, with plans to switch from glasses to contact lenses; he notes the change is subtle and not looking “fixed.”

Men’s Heart Disease Risk Surges in the Mid-30s, Triggering Call for Earlier Screening

A long-term CARDIA study shows men reach a 5% cardiovascular disease risk around age 50.5—about seven years earlier than women (57.5)—driven largely by coronary heart disease; traditional risk factors explain only part of the gap, suggesting other biological or social factors. The findings imply heart screening and prevention may need to start earlier in adulthood, especially for men.

Men’s mid-30s risk rise prompts call for earlier heart-health checks

A long-running CARDIA study tracking more than 5,100 adults from young adulthood to 2020 finds men’s cardiovascular disease risk begins to diverge from women around age 35, with coronary heart disease developing earlier in men and the gap persisting despite similar traditional risk factors. The study suggests starting prevention and screening earlier in adulthood, potentially using tools like the AHA PREVENT equations that begin at age 30, while noting preventive care uptake remains lower for men aged 18–44.
