The study was reportedly based on surveys
of 5,395 adults with an average age of 56.
.
According to NBC, the study was meant to shed light on how adults coped amid the pandemic.
.
We were asking people who weren't
depressed about their social media
use.
Then we came back later to
see if the people who were using
certain kinds of social media were
more likely to be depressed, Dr. Roy Perlis, one of the studyās authors, via NBC.
The study found that adults on platforms
like Facebook, TikTok and Snapchat , "were substantially more likely to come back and tell us they felt depressed the next time they filled out the survey.".
NBC points out that while the study does not prove that social media causes depression, it highlights a growing mental health crisis in the United States.
.
In an October 2021 study, almost one-third of adults
in the U.S. reported feeling depressed,
up from just 8.5% before COVID.
It is recommended to
be mindful of how much
time you spend on
social media.
The programs are designed to
keep you on as long as possible.
Try to be aware of how much
time you're spending on them, Mitch Prinstein, chief science officer for the
American Psychological Association, via NBC
Lisa Kudrow says she's finally rewatching 'Friends' because of Matthew Perry. The actress has previously admitted that she couldn't bring herself to watch reruns of the beloved NBC sitcom, explaining she didn't want to risk not liking her work on the show. But in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter to promote her upcoming Apple TV+ series 'Time Bandits,' Kudrow revealed that she's begun to revisit old 'Friends' episodes, in large part to keep the memory of her late co-star Perry alive. Perry died October 28th, 2023, at age 54.

Supreme Court Rejects , Challenge to Tax Law on, Foreign Investments.
On June 20, the Supreme Court upheld a tax on foreign

On June 20, the Supreme Court upheld a tax on foreign
corporate investments enacted by a Republican-controlled
Congress under former President Donald Trump.
NBC reports that the case had attracted scrutiny when
conservative Justice Samuel Alito refused to recuse
himself despite ties with one of the challenging lawyers.
The case revolved around whether an individual can be
forced to pay taxes on investments in foreign-owned
companies regardless of if they were a source of income.
The case revolved around whether an individual can be
forced to pay taxes on investments in foreign-owned
companies regardless of if they were a source of income.
According to the 16th Amendment
of the Constitution, Congress has the
power to "collect taxes on incomes.".
In the case, Charles and Kathleen Moore claim they were
unfairly taxed on their $40,000 investment in an
India-based company called KisanKraft Machine Tools. .
While the company made a profit, the Moores
claim that they received no dividends and that
the money was reinvested in the business.
As a result, the Moores did not pay taxes between
2006 and 2017 on what the U.S. government later
defined as income from their investment. .
Due to a provision that was part of a major tax law
enacted by former President Donald Trump in 2017,
the Moores paid $15,000 in additional taxes.
They later sought a refund for that payment,
arguing that they had been unlawfully taxed
based on an increase in the value of a capital
investment not qualifying as income.
The couple's challenge was rejected
by the Supreme Court 7-2

NBC reports that Murthy warned that the
mental health crisis among young Americans
has become an urgent problem, citing social
media as "an important contributor.".
According to Murthy, the warning would include
language that alerts users to potential mental health
harms associated with using social media.
A surgeon generalās
warning label, which requires
congressional action, would
regularly remind parents and
adolescents that social media
has not been proved safe, Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General, via NBC.
Evidence from tobacco labels
shows that surgeon generalās
warnings can increase
awareness and change behavior, Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General, via NBC.
Murthy reportedly went on to
acknowledge that a warning alone has
limitations and fails to make social media safe.
In an op-ed published in 'The New York Times,'
Murthy linked the amount of time spent using
social media with an increased risk for children
to develop anxiety and depression.

One 2019 study found that the number of teens with suicidal thoughts increased 47% between 2008 and
2017, a period which also saw social media use soar.

Scientists Warn of Link Between, Fluoride , and Negative Health Outcomes
When Pregnant .
'Newsweek' reports that scientists have urged expectant mothers
not to drink unfiltered tap water, exposing a link between

'Newsweek' reports that scientists have urged expectant mothers
not to drink unfiltered tap water, exposing a link between
exposure to fluoride and disruptions in fetal brain development. .
In 1962, the United States Public Health Service
(USPHS) recommended that public water contain
fluoride in an effort to prevent tooth decay. .
As a result, 3 in 4 Americans
receive water that has been
fortified with fluoride. .
While the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) and the USPHS say fluoride
consumption at levels set by the government are safe.
opponents to the fluoridation of the water supply argue that
potential health impacts of even low level fluoride exposure
have been identified, particularly for developing fetuses. .
opponents to the fluoridation of the water supply argue that
potential health impacts of even low level fluoride exposure
have been identified, particularly for developing fetuses. .
According to a new study, maternal fluoride exposure
was associated with a near-doubling increase in
the risk of the child developing neurobehavioral problems.
The team's findings were published
in the journal 'JAMA Network Open.'.
These neurobehavioral problems
include emotional reactivity, headaches,
anxiety and symptoms linked to autism.
Our results showed that higher
fluoride levels in mother's urine were
associated with significantly increased neurodevelopmental problems in their
three-year-old children, especially
for internalizing problems
like depression and anxiety, Tracy Bastain, Associate professor of clinical population and public
health science and senior author of the study, via Newsweek.

These results are very concerning
from a public health perspective,
given that the majority of U.S.
communities have fluoridated water, Tracy Bastain, Associate professor of clinical population and public

'Newsweek' reports that the authors of the study say more
research is "urgently needed" in order to better understand
the implications of these findings on public health.
