Measles symptoms can include high fever; cough; runny nose; red, watery eyes; and a rash that first appears on the face and spreads down the body.

The virus is transmitted through particles from coughing or sneezing, and can remain in the air for up to two hours after an infected person has departed the area.

The NJDOH stressed that the most effective way to prevent measles is to receive two doses of the MMR vaccine, as the highest-risk group includes unvaccinated and partially vaccinated individuals.

The department encourages all individuals to get vaccinated before traveling internationally.

One dose can be given to infants aged six to 11 months before travel. Two more doses can be administered after their first birthday, according to officials.

A daring endurance swimmer is taking it to the next level as a tribute to the 50th anniversary of the film “Jaws.”

Lewis Pugh, 55, will be swimming 62 miles around the island of Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts with the water temperature predicted to be 47 degrees.

“On this swim, it’s very different: We’re just talking about sharks all the time,” Pugh told The Associated Press (AP).

He said that he plans on wearing his usual swimming uniform, which is not a wetsuit. Rather, he’ll be wearing just trunks, a cap and goggles, he said.

The daredevil has gone swimming near glaciers and volcanoes, as well as among hippos, crocodiles and polar bears.

Pugh said his goal is to raise awareness of the need to protect sharks and to change public perception of the mighty fish.

The American Association for the Advancement of Science estimates about 274,000 sharks are killed globally each day.

Pugh said the popular 1975 movie “Jaws” showcased sharks as “villains, as cold-blooded killers.”

He told AP, “It was a film about sharks attacking humans and for 50 years, we have been attacking sharks … It’s completely unsustainable. It’s madness. We need to respect them.”

“Jaws” was released in June 1975 and directed by Steven Spielberg. It was based on a novel by Peter Benchley, who also wrote the screenplay. (AP Photo/Charles Krupa)

He added, “We need to protect life in our oceans — all our futures rely on it.”

On the swim, safety personnel in a boat and kayak will follow Pugh. They’ll have a “shark shield” device that uses an electric field without harming sharks to deter them.

He plans to start the swim on Friday, which is estimated to take about 12 days.

“Jaws” was released in June 1975; it was directed by Steven Spielberg, with a screenplay by Peter Benchley. It starred Richard Dreyfuss, Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw and Lorraine Gary.

Mom of 5 earns degree after going completely blind, now aims to help others

When a Tennessee mother of five received her college degree on May 9, she couldn’t see her family cheering in the audience – because she is completely blind.

Even so, as Amanda Juetten, 47, crossed the stage to accept her degree – magna cum laude – from Tennessee Tech University, she was more certain than ever about her path forward.

“I’m totally blind,” Juetten told Fox News Digital in an interview. “So I’ve got my guide dog by my side.”

FOOD CHOICES THAT CAN BOOST YOUR VISION AND PROTECT AGAINST EYE DISEASE

“The two guys I was sitting by told me to follow them — we were a team. I’m concentrating on shaking all the hands and getting across the stage. I was thinking, ‘This isn’t the end. It’s really the beginning of what’s next.’”

Juetten, who recently became a grandmother, began her college journey nearly 30 years ago, but had to postpone her studies when she had a baby right out of high school — and immediately went to work to provide for her new family.

Amanda Juetten, 47, graduated magna cum laude from Tennessee Tech University with her guide dog by her side. (Tennessee Tech University)

She eventually returned to higher education, but in 2020, after years of progressive vision loss from a condition called retinitis pigmentosa, she found herself in the dark — literally.

“I was left totally blind with no skills for blindness,” Juetten said. “Over the years, I had been taught a lot of skills for using my remaining vision, but not what to do with no vision at all.’”

GIRL DESPERATE TO SEE THE WORLD BEFORE SHE GOES COMPLETELY BLIND

Determined to regain her independence, she enrolled in an eight-month program at the Colorado Center for the Blind.

“I thought, ‘I know blind parents make their kids’ lunches. I know blind parents go to PTA meetings. I can do this. I just need to be around a bunch of other blind people,’” she recalled.

“I want to help give people the skills to find their voice.”

“Blind people are not sitting in their basements waiting for the end. They’re out there living their lives, and I wanted to do that, too.”

With her new skills and adaptive techniques — and a renewed sense of confidence — Juetten enrolled at Tennessee Tech in the fall of 2022, pursuing a professional studies degree with a concentration in organizational leadership.

“It’s been great,” Juetten said. “The instructors were asking, ‘What are your needs? How can I make this accessible to you?’ They have been fantastic for doing that. I never got pushback. I didn’t get people saying, ‘Why are you taking these classes?’”

Now, the newly graduated Juetten is advocating for more acceptance and understanding of the blind.

“The blind need a voice,” Juetten said. “I have a voice and I love to use it. I want to help give people the skills to find their voice. We need more teachers and more people in the field who believe in the full capacity of the blind.”

Next, she plans to pursue a graduate degree in blindness rehabilitation and possibly even a doctorate.

“I want to begin offering services in assistive technology, Braille and the things I’ve learned and am doing well,” Juetten said. “I want to teach blind people as a vendor of vocational rehabilitation.”

Juetten has traveled to Washington, D.C., to lobby for blindness-related initiatives and to San Francisco to protest rideshare drivers who deny service to passengers with wheelchairs or service animals.

She also serves on the board of the National Federation of the Blind of Tennessee and is a past president of the Tennessee Association of Guide Dog Users.

Her guide dog, Colonel, is always by her side.

Juetten has the below message for anyone facing blindness.

“You still have the same hopes and dreams,” she said. “All of those things that you wanted to do before you were blind, you still want to do those things. So let’s find a way to do that.”

Using a PC is all fun and games until you run out of storage. We’ve all been there, and the problem becomes more frequent if you’ve been using your PC for years. Over time, the hard disk starts filling up with everything, including PDFs, video files, random screenshots, and duplicate photos transferred from an SD card or your phone.

Once your PC’s storage fills up, it slows down because the resources required to process tasks become limited. I will discuss some proven methods to reclaim valuable space and improve your computer’s performance.

If you’re not a PC user, find more ways to free up space on these devices: iPhone | Android | Mac

Empty recycle bin

When you delete something on your PC, it remains in the Recycle Bin and still takes up space on your hard disk. The Recycle Bin usually holds deleted files for 30 days, but if you need to free up space right away, emptying it is a good first step. Note that “Recycle Bin” is the term used on Windows. To free up disk space from the Recycle Bin:

Search for Recycle Bin on your desktop and right-click it.
Select Empty Recycle Bin.
Confirm the deletion.

Delete unnecessary apps

After clearing the Recycle Bin, the next step is to delete unnecessary apps. Unused applications take up valuable storage space and can slow down your system. Removing them will free up space and improve performance on your Windows PC.

Go to Settings
Click Apps
Select Installed apps.
Sort apps by size to find large ones.
Click an app and select Uninstall.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU THINK YOUR PC HAS A VIRUS

Delete the files you don’t need

Take some time to go through your files and delete anything you no longer need. Old documents, large video files, duplicate photos, and outdated downloads can take up a surprising amount of space. If you are unsure about deleting certain files, move them to an external drive or cloud storage before permanently removing them from your Windows PC.

Open Settings
Click System.
Select Storage.

You can also use Disk Cleanup: Type “Disk Cleanup” in the Start menu, select a drive and choose files to delete.

Enable Storage Sense on Windows

If you’re using Windows, Storage Sense is a built-in feature that can automatically free up space by removing temporary files and old items from the Recycle Bin. How to enable storage sense on Windows:

Open Settings and go to System > Storage.
Click on Storage Sense and toggle it On.
Under the Configure cleanup schedules section, choose how often it should run (every day, week or month). Once enabled, Storage Sense will automatically clean up space based on your preferences.

DOES YOUR WINDOWS 11 PC KEEP RESTARTING? LET’S FIX THAT FRUSTRATING PROBLEM

Transfer files to external storage

Choose the right external drive: Opt for an external hard drive or solid-state drive (SSD) that suits your needs. SSDs offer faster speeds and better durability, while HDDs provide larger capacities at lower costs.
Transfer files: Connect your external drive, copy your files to it and verify that all files are successfully transferred.
Delete original files: After verifying the transfer, delete the original files from your PC to free up space. On Windows, use File Explorer to delete files and empty the Recycle Bin. On Mac, use Finder to move files to Trash and then empty it.

Consider cloud storage

Cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox and Microsoft OneDrive offer convenient, flexible options for storing large files without consuming your laptop’s limited space. These services allow you to securely store your photos, videos and documents in the cloud, freeing up valuable storage on your device. One significant advantage of cloud storage is accessing files from any device with an internet connection, whether on your phone, tablet or another computer.

Most cloud services provide a certain amount of free storage (typically between 2GB and 15GB) before upgrading to a paid plan. For instance, Google Drive offers 15GB of free storage shared across Google services, while Dropbox provides 2GB for free with options to upgrade for more space. OneDrive provides 5GB for free, but Microsoft users can get additional storage through Office 365 subscriptions, granting access to the Microsoft Office suite.

Additionally, cloud storage services come with features like automatic syncing and backup, making it easier to organize and safeguard your files. This can be particularly helpful for large photo and video libraries, which can be set to upload automatically from your phone or computer. With features like file versioning and collaboration tools, cloud platforms offer more than just storage — they enhance productivity and allow seamless file sharing with friends, family or colleagues.

Finally, many cloud storage providers offer encryption and other security measures to protect your files for added peace of mind. However, it would be best always to take extra precautions, such as enabling two-factor authentication and using strong, unique passwords, to ensure your data is safe. Kurt’s favorite cloud services can be seen here.

Protect your data: Essential security steps after managing storage

After you’ve freed up space on your PC-whether by deleting old files, moving data to an external drive or leveraging cloud storage, it’s just as important to make sure your valuable information stays secure. The following steps will help you protect your files and personal data from cyber threats and accidental loss.

1. Use strong passwords: Create unique, complex passwords for all your accounts and devices. Consider using a password manager to generate and store secure passwords. Get more details about my best expert-reviewed Password Managers of 2025 here.

2. Enable encryption: Encrypt your external hard drives and cloud storage accounts to add an extra layer of protection to your data.

3. Implement two-factor authentication (2FA): Enable 2FA on all accounts that offer this feature, especially for cloud storage services.

4. Install and maintain strong antivirus software: Use a strong antivirus program and keep it updated to protect against malware and other security threats. The best way to safeguard yourself from malicious links that install malware, potentially accessing your private information, is to have antivirus software installed on all your devices. This protection can also alert you to phishing emails and ransomware scams, keeping your personal information and digital assets safe. Get my picks for the best 2025 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices.

5. Regularly update your operating system and applications: Keep your devices and software up to date to ensure you have the latest security patches.

6. Be cautious with public Wi-Fi: Avoid accessing sensitive information when connected to public networks, or use a VPN for added security. Using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) service can enhance your privacy by encrypting your internet traffic, making it harder for hackers and third parties to intercept your data, especially on public Wi-Fi. A VPN masks your IP address, helping to obscure your location and online activity. While VPNs don’t directly prevent phishing emails, they reduce the exposure of your browsing habits to trackers that may use this data maliciously. With a VPN, you can securely access your email accounts from anywhere, even in areas with restrictive internet policies. For best VPN software, see my expert review of the best VPNs for browsing the web privately on your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices

7. Backup your data regularly: Create multiple backups of your important files, including at least one offline copy.

8. Use secure file transfer methods: When sharing files, use encrypted transfer methods or password-protected links.

By following these steps, you can significantly enhance the security of your data and protect yourself from potential cyber threats.

Kurt’s key takeaway

Your PC’s storage can fill up fast, but you can always free up some space. I personally prefer storing images and videos that take up too much space on an external drive. This way, I can access them whenever I need to while keeping my PC storage free. If an external drive feels like too much of a hassle, you can always opt for cloud storage. Windows supports a range of cloud storage options, including its own services like OneDrive.

Why emails are disappearing from your iPhone and 5 proven ways to fix it

Despite not wanting to be inundated by tons of emails, it’s quite another thing to have emails you need to read or keep disappear suddenly. It’s important to know why your emails are disappearing as much as it is important to figure out how to fix it. Mary Ann from Southport, North Carolina, had this question for us:

“Help – my emails stored in individual email folders disappear on my iPhone 13 Pro Mail app. Why? Is there a fix so this won’t happen again?”

Though we’ve all wished that our inboxes would magically get read and cleaned up, we certainly don’t want emails disappearing for no particular reason and without our knowledge. Usually, when something unexpected happens on our devices, it isn’t just a one-person issue. That’s why we thought it was important to investigate why your emails are disappearing and how to fix it, Mary Ann.

If you’re experiencing disappearing emails on an Android device, don’t worry, we also cover solutions for Android users further down in this article.

A woman using her iPhone.

1. Disappearing emails? Start here to solve the mystery

If your emails disappear from your iPhone like they did for Mary Ann, there are several reasons this could happen. But before you troubleshoot the many different potential culprits, the easiest one to start with is to restart your iPhone. Even though it may seem too easy, sometimes restarting your iPhone can restore your missing emails. To restart your iPhone for iPhone X or later:

DON’T FALL FOR THAT SNEAKY ICLOUD STORAGE ALERT IN YOUR INBOX

Apple Support photo of restarting iPhone X or later. (Apple)

While holding the iPhone with the screen facing toward you, press the volume up or down button on the left side of your phone and at the same time, press the power button on the right side.
When the power-off slider shows up on your screen, slide it across the screen to the off position.
Once your phone turns off (it’ll be just a blank black screen), leave it off for 10 seconds.
Turn your phone back on by pressing and holding the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo. Once you see the logo, release the button.
Go check to see if that resolved your mail issues.

If that doesn’t resolve the issue, try the steps below.

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR IPHONE & IPAD FROM MALWARE

2. It could be a problem with your mail settings

While the iPhone usually keeps the mail setup process pretty simple, sometimes how we step up can cause problems down the road. Or even if we did set it up correctly, it just needs to be reset to get it working properly-the solution. Delete your email account on your iPhone, and then set it up again.

On the main screen of your iPhone, tap Settings.
Scroll down and tap Apps.
Then tap Mail.

THE ONE SIMPLE TRICK TO HELP KEEP OUT CYBER CREEPS ON IPHONE

3. There is a conflict between IMAP and POP3 protocols

Desktop mail applications usually use POP3, while most smartphones use IMAP protocol, which can cause conflict and mail disappearance. The solution to fix this problem. You’ll need to see if your email is set up on any other devices using POP3. If possible, change all email account setups to IMAP on other devices. For example, on Mail on an iMac:

On your iMac or MacBook (Pro), open the ‘Mail’ application, usually found in the dock on the bottom or right or left side of your desktop screen.
Under ‘Mail’ on the menu bar on the top left of your screen, select ‘Accounts.’
Select the specific account you want to check.

How to check your mail setting on your desktop. (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)

Under your email login and password information, click the ‘Advanced’ button.
A pop-up should open showing you the hostname, and it should say ‘pop.’ or ‘imap.’ before your domain host.
‘If you see ‘pop.,’ you should take steps to change the settings to imap.

4. IOS updates required

Sometimes, emails can disappear with outdated iOS. The solution is to find out if your iOS is old and/or update your iOS by performing the following steps:

On the main screen of your iPhone, tap Settings.
You’ll either have a notification on the top of ‘Settings’ that says ‘Software Update Available,’ or you can scroll down and click General.

How to add your email account on iPhone mail app. (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)

Tap ‘Software Update’

If there is an iOS update available, you will see it listed and the option to download and install it.
If you’re ready to update, click ‘Update Now.’

5. System error

If none of these resolve your disappearing emails, it may be a system error that can occur on any device. You can also contact Apple Support for further support if nothing seems to work. You can reset your device to start fresh to see if that will resolve the disappearing email problem. Check out How to factory reset my iPhone for step-by-step instructions on how to reset your device.

What to do if your emails disappear on Android

While this article focuses on iPhone fixes, Android users can face similar issues with disappearing emails. Here’s a brief guide tailored for Android devices:

Settings may vary depending on your Android phone’s manufacturer.

1. Check all folders and search for missing emails

Sometimes emails are accidentally archived, deleted, or marked as spam. Use the search function in your email app and check the Spam, Trash, and Archive folders to locate missing messages.
For Gmail, also check the Social, Promotions and Updates tabs, as emails can be automatically sorted there.

2. Review email sync settings

Open your email app’s settings, go to your account settings, and check the “Sync period.” Set it to “All time” to ensure older emails are not hidden.
Make sure the sync function is enabled so your device is regularly updating with the mail server.

3. Check email protocol: POP3 vs. IMAP

If your account is set up as POP3, emails may be downloaded to one device and removed from the server, causing them to disappear from other devices. IMAP keeps emails synced across all devices.
If using POP3, look for a setting like “Leave messages on server” and make sure it is enabled.
Switching to IMAP is recommended for most users to avoid these issues.

4. Inspect email filters and rules

Filters or rules may automatically move emails to specific folders or delete them. Review your filter settings in your email app or webmail interface.

5. Restart and re-add your account

Log out of your email account, restart your device, and log back in. If issues persist, remove the email account from your device and add it again.

6. Network and app issues

Ensure your device has a stable internet connection. Sometimes sync issues are caused by temporary network problems.
If problems continue, try updating your email app or reinstalling it.

By following these steps, most Android users can resolve the issue of disappearing emails and keep their inboxes under control.

Trump and the judiciary’s conflicts are coming to a head

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

The more aggressive elements of President Trump’s immigration agenda have run into resistance from federal district judges. These courts question the administration’s expedited deportations of illegal Venezuelan migrants with minimal, or no, due process. But a more fundamental constitutional question lies beneath the struggle over immigration. Federal judges that block the deportations risk interference with the executive branch’s constitutional authority over foreign relations and national security. At the same time, if the White House presses his claims of unilateral power too far, it jeopardizes the deference that the judiciary has long offered presidents in their management of national security.

The president and the judiciary are coming to a head because of decisions by two separate federal district judges last week. On May 1, Judge Fernando Rodriguez of Texas held that Trump could not claim power under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to remove members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang (TdA) to El Salvador. On May 6, Judge Charlotte Sweeney in Colorado agreed and also enjoined the executive branch from any further deportation of Venezuelans without a hearing before a judge. While only temporary orders, no federal courts have ever before overruled the decision of a president or congress that the United States has suffered an attack or invasion.

Part of the blame for this executive-judicial conflict also rests with the Trump administration’s unprecedented use of the Alien Enemies Act. The act authorizes the president to detain and expel aliens of “a hostile nation or government” with which the United States is in a “declared war” or by which it has suffered an “invasion or predatory incursion.” The United States had only used the act during the declared War of 1812 and World Wars I and II.

But on March 15, President Trump sent TdA members to El Salvador under his authority under the Act. He proclaimed that the gang was conducting an invasion or predatory incursion through “irregular warfare” such as “drug trafficking” and “mass illegal migration” into the United States. Trump claimed that TdA is “closely aligned with, and indeed has infiltrated,” the Venezuelan government, so as to meet the Act’s requirement of an invasion by a “hostile nation or government.” The White House made the extraordinary claim that a gang has risen to the level of a foreign government that is conducting an invasion or predatory incursion into the United States.

Regardless of the challenge of showing this to be true factually, district judges have made the mistake of concluding this is a question for the courts to resolve. On some important questions, the Constitution reserves judgment to the elected branches of government alone. As Chief Justice John Marshall conceded in Marbury v. Madison, which first announced the power of judicial review, “the President is invested with certain important political powers, in the exercise of which he is to use his own discretion.” For his decisions, “he is accountable only to his country in his political character, and to his own conscience.” His decision cannot be questioned in court because “the subjects are political.” These issues “respect the nation, not individual rights, and being entrusted to the executive, the decision of the executive is conclusive.”

War raises exactly the sort of “political questions,” as the Supreme Court has come to describe them, that fall outside judicial competence. The Constitution vests the president with the executive power and makes him commander in chief of the armed forces. Congress has the power to raise and fund the armed forces and to declare war. The courts have no power to direct the elected branches in their exercise of these authorities.

Federal courts have never questioned the decisions of the elected branches over whether a war or invasion has occurred. In the Prize Cases, for example, the Supreme Court would not second-guess President Abraham Lincoln’s awesome decision to wage war to stop secession. “Whether the President in fulfilling his duties as Commander in Chief” was justified in launching military operations against the South, the Court declared, was “to be decided by him.” The Court could declare that it must reserve to the President the decisions on the force to be used to “the political department of the Government to which this power was entrusted.” Following this precedent, federal judge rejected lawsuits seeking a halt to the wars in Korea, Vietnam, Kuwait, Afghanistan, or Iraq.

But in the Texas and Colorado cases, federal judges have overturned the judiciary’s deference on war. They rejected President Trump’s claim that Venezuela had launched an invasion of the United States using TdA as an arm of its military. The federal appeals courts, and ultimately the Supreme Court, must review these decisions as soon as possible. They must recognize that trial judges lack the competence to review the sensitive information and judgments necessary to make the more dire national security decisions. Courts excel at resolving cases or controversies with formal rules of pleading, evidence, and deliberation. They are ill-equipped to judge the probabilities and risks that govern the world of national security.

Taurine in energy drinks may fuel blood cancer growth, new research reveals

A common ingredient in some foods and drinks has been linked to an increased risk of blood cancers.

Taurine — a non-essential amino acid that also occurs naturally in the bone marrow, brain, heart and muscles — was found to promote the growth of leukemia cells, according to a study by Wilmot Cancer Institute investigators at the University of Rochester in New York.

The compound is also found in meats, fish and eggs, as well as some energy drinks and protein powders.

BLOOD CANCER AWARENESS: COMMON TYPES, SIGNS AND TREATMENT OPTIONS

“The key takeaway from this study is that taurine can be used by leukemia cells to promote cancer progression,” Jeevisha Bajaj, PhD, an assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Genetics and a member of Wilmot’s Cancer Microenvironment research program, told Fox News Digital.

“Developing new methods to block the cancer cells’ ability to take in taurine may improve outcomes for leukemia patients.”

The scientists made the discovery by happenstance as they were investigating the bone marrow with an eye toward improving treatments for blood cancer, according to a press release from the university.

“Our finding that taurine can be produced by the bone marrow microenvironment was completely unexpected and therefore surprising,” Bajaj said. “No one had shown this before, and it added critical information to studies of the bone marrow microenvironment, where blood cancers arise and expand.”

The taurine triggers cancer growth in leukemia cells by promoting a process called glycolysis, which breaks down glucose to produce energy.

In particular, taurine fuels certain types of cancer that emerge from blood stem cells in the bone marrow, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), the release stated.

The findings were published in the journal Nature.

“We are very excited about these studies because they demonstrate that targeting uptake by myeloid leukemia cells may be a possible new avenue for treatment of these aggressive diseases,” said Bajaj.

“Our work suggests that developing and testing effective drugs that can impede leukemia cells from using taurine could lead to new treatment approaches for these deadly cancers.”

The study did have some limitations, according to the researchers.

“We are very excited about these studies because they demonstrate that targeting uptake by myeloid leukemia cells may be a possible new avenue for treatment of these aggressive diseases,” said the lead researcher (not pictured). (iStock)

“While we can find that taurine levels are high in the bone marrow of mice with leukemia compared to healthy mice, we do not have any evidence on taurine levels in humans with acute myeloid leukemia,” Bajah noted. “This is something we hope to study in the future.”

Looking ahead, the researchers also plan to study how myelodysplastic syndromes lead to acute leukemia.

Based on the findings, the scientists recommend that patients with leukemia speak with their healthcare providers before adding any new supplements or foods rich in taurine to their diet.

“Since taurine is a common ingredient in energy drinks and is often provided as a supplement to mitigate the side effects of chemotherapy, our work suggests that it may be of interest to carefully consider the benefits of supplemental taurine in leukemia patients,” the researchers concluded in the paper.

Dr. Marc Siegel, clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Health and Fox News senior medical analyst, was not involved in the study but commented on the findings.

“There is concern that high-powered energy drinks containing too much taurine could fuel leukemia cells,” a doctor told Fox News Digital. (iStock)

“The study from the University of Rochester determined that leukemia cells in the bone marrow rely on the amino acid taurine that they don’t make themselves,” he told Fox News Digital. “Future therapies promise to block the uptake of taurine into leukemia cells.”

Further research is needed to determine the exact process for blocking taurine, according to Siegel.

“This is preliminary, but marks an important link between diet and cancer.”

The study was primarily funded by the National Cancer Institute, National Institute on Aging, and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease, all of which are part of the National Institutes of Health. The American Society of Hematology, the Leukemia Research Foundation and Leukemia & Lymphoma Society also provided support.

Do energy drinks pose a risk?

Some popular energy drinks list taurine as an ingredient.

“There is concern that high-powered energy drinks containing too much taurine could fuel leukemia cells,” Siegel told Fox News Digital.

“This is preliminary, but marks an important link between diet and cancer.”

“But at the same time, there is no evidence that these drinks cause the conversion of regular bone marrow cells into leukemia cells.”

As the body naturally produces taurine, additional supplementation — especially from energy drinks — is “often unnecessary,” according to Dr. Hooman Melamed, a board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon and sports medicine expert based in Marina Del Rey, California.

Further research is needed to determine the exact process for blocking taurine, the experts said. (iStock)

“From a clinical perspective, I always advise patients to give their bodies what they need, but not to overload them with substances they don’t,” Melamed, who was not involved in the study, told Fox News Digital.

In general, Melamed said he recommends avoiding energy drinks altogether, especially those containing many synthetic additives or excessive ingredients.

“You’ll often find 20+ components in these products — many of which you can’t pronounce. That alone is a red flag,” he cautioned.

“If you don’t recognize what’s in your food or drink, it’s probably not something your body needs.”

Trump administration may drop CDC COVID vaccine push for kids, pregnant women

The Trump administration is backing away from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations to vaccinate children and pregnant women against COVID-19, according to a new report.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), led by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is planning to pull federal recommendations that these groups get the COVID vaccine as a routine measure, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.

The CDC currently recommends that everyone aged 6 months and older get vaccinated, but that guidance may be scrapped in the coming days.

It’s unclear whether HHS plans to drop the recommendation entirely or simply stop pushing it for everyone across the board, the report said.

The move would be a major shift in federal health policy and would mark a break from the blanket-vaccine approach that dominated the early years of the pandemic.

Few parents and expectant mothers have followed through with recent COVID boosters. As of April, CDC data shows just 13% of children and 14% of pregnant women had received the latest shot.

The change comes as the FDA, under Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary, prepares to roll out a tougher approval process for vaccines.

Speaking Thursday at a gathering of food and drug lawyers, Makary said, “We want to see vaccines that are available for high-risk individuals, and at the same time, we want some good science. We want some good clinical data.”

Kennedy has long been critical of mRNA vaccines and mass vaccination campaigns. As HHS secretary, he now has the authority to revise CDC guidance.

The expected shift would undercut one of the most promoted health policies of the first Trump administration, Operation Warp Speed, and raise questions about whether insurers will continue covering the shots.

Critics of the move told the Journal it could discourage vaccination and leave immunocompromised people more vulnerable. Supporters say it brings policy back in line with science and common sense.

Both HHS and CDC did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
