- In the article 'Congo is suffering biggest mpox outbreak ever that could soon spread to US...after arrival of new, more infectious strain', Emily Joshu reports that clade I, which officials state has never been detected outside of endemic African regions, is the more severe form of the illness. However, in another article 'New infectious deadly monkey pox strain outbreak in Congo', she writes that US experts fear that the increase in a more severe form of mpox called clade I could lead to a repeat of its rapid spread in other countries like the US and UK.
- In the article 'Daily Mail health reporter goes vegan for a month after tests showed she was at risk for major diseases. What happened next shocked her... but left her miserable', Emily Joshu reports that recent research suggests consuming vegan meat is linked to up to a 15 percent increased risk of heart attacks and strokes, as well as early death. However, in another article 'Colon-rectal cancer symptoms: Signs you're young and diagnosed', she writes that severe symptoms were ignored by Ms. Krichevsky's initial doctor visit, resulting in a prescription for Prozac and therapy instead of further testing.
- In the article 'Six household soda brands that may taste or look different after FDA banned key ingredient in them', Emily Joshu writes that many of your favorite sodas could look or taste different after the FDA banned the use of brominated vegetable oil (BVO) due to health issues. However, in another article 'How the H5N1 bird flu epidemic could affect your McDonald's order', she writes that McDonald's restaurants in Australia will stop serving breakfast 90 minutes earlier amid bird flu outbreaks, but experts said the US fast food industry is 'well-prepared' to face the challenge.
