Margaret Atwood takes aim at Alberta’s school library books ban with satirical story

Margaret Atwood is taking aim at Alberta’s controversial ban on school library books containing sexual content with a new, satirical short story after the famed author’s novel “The Handmaid’s Tale” was yanked from some shelves due to the province’s sweeping new rules. In a social media post on Sunday, Atwood said since the literary classic is no longer suitable in Alberta’s schools, she has written a short story for 17-year olds about two “very, very good children” named John and Mary.“They never picked their noses or had bowel movements or zits,” she said in the beginning of her story.“They grew up and married each other, and produced five perfect children without ever having sex.”Atwood said the duo paid no attention to the poor and “forgiving your enemies and such; instead, they practis...

Study finds simple lifestyle changes that may cut diabetes risk by 31 per cent

A Mediterranean-style diet, in combination with reduced caloric intake, moderate physical activity, and professional support for weight loss, may cut the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) by 31&#37, according to a new study co-authored by researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The study was published on August 25, 2025, in the Annals of Internal Medicine. "We`re facing a global epidemic of diabetes," said co-author Frank Hu, Fredrick J. Stare Professor of Nutrition and Epidemiology and chair of the Department of Nutrition. "With the highest-level evidence, our study shows that modest, sustained changes in diet and lifestyle could prevent millions of cases of this disease worldwide," added Co-author Frank Hu. Prior research has linked the Mediterranean diet, which emp...

Metals, sulphate particles in PM2.5 air pollution may worsen asthma: Study

Metals, particularly nickel and vanadium, and sulphate particles -- components of fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5) -- can worsen asthma and lead to hospitalisation, according to a new study. The study, published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, showed that for each decile increase in the pollutant mixture, asthma hospitalisations increased 10.6 per cent among children and 8 per cent among adults ages 19 to 64. Nickel, vanadium, sulfate, nitrate, bromine, and ammonium contributed the most weight to this association. "If we want to reduce asthma hospitalisations, these are the sources that need to be better controlled -- which we know how to do," said corresponding author Joel Schwartz, professor of environmental epidemiology at Harvard T.H. Chan Sc...

Global cholera outbreaks and subsequent fatality rate surging, warns WHO

The global cholera situation is worsening, with outbreaks across 31 countries and a surging fatality rate, the World Health Organization said Friday. "Given the scale, severity, and interconnected nature of these outbreaks, the risk of further spread within and between countries is considered very high," it said. The UN health agency said the deteriorating outlook was "driven by conflict and poverty", with rural and flood-affected areas especially vulnerable to the disease -- an acute intestinal infection that spreads through food and water contaminated with bacteria, often from faeces. Between January 1 and August 17, the WHO tracked 409,222 cases and 4,738 deaths reported globally. While cases were down 20 percent on the same period last year, deaths were up 46 percent. Cholera is g...
