The ongoing series of incidents of men ejaculating into women's drinks is nothing new, but Dr Arghavan Salles, a gastroenterologist and bariatric surgeon at Stanford University, drew renewed attention to the troubling trend of men attempting to win the attention of women they thought were attractive.

Almond butter may have earned a reputation as peanut butter's 'healthier cousin' - but it's more like the evil twin. That's according to dietitians who say that believing one is healthier than the other may make people more likely to overload on it and therefore pack on the pounds. But 'there really isn't much difference' between almond butter and a classic dollop of peanut butter, except a higher price tag, the experts told DailyMail.com. They warned both options are extremely calorie dense, with nearly 200 calories per serving, which most people overestimate and eat too much of it anyway. Searches for almond butter on TikTok have racked up 82.7 million views, with users touting it as a cure-all for obesity, gut health, and anti-aging.

Donald Trump 's penchant for Diet Coke may explain why he appeared to fall asleep in court this week, a sleep expert has told DailyMail.com. His team vehemently denies the claims, saying his eyes may have been closed because 'he reads a lot', but an expert has pointed to his diet as a possible reason. Trump is said to drink up to 12 cans of the stuff every day - which racks up about as much caffeine as four 12-ounce cups of coffee.

A woman in Kuwait's blood turned toxic after taking weight loss drugs for just three weeks. The unnamed patient, 21, was admitted to the hospital after two days of abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. Three weeks earlier, she started taking tirzepatide, the active ingredient in blockbuster weight loss drugs Mounjaro and Zepbound, once a week. She had lost about 11 pounds. Blood tests revealed that she had 26 times the normal level of ketones, chemicals that the liver produces when it breaks down fat instead of glucose (blood sugar). The ketones built up in her bloodstream and turned it toxic, a condition called ketoacidosis that can be fatal if left untreated. The complication is one in a long line of side effects linked to GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic and Mounjaro (including for Ashley Keenan, left, and Brea Hand, right).

The patient's symptoms erupted barely four hours after she had taken the common over-the-counter painkiller to treat her cold. Other symptoms included a yellow crust forming on her lips (inset) and severe swelling in her face. She also had rashes erupting across her body (right). Doctors said she had suffered from a vanishingly rare severe adverse reaction called Steven-Johnson syndrome. This is where the immune system triggers high levels of inflammation in response to the drug in her blood. This can cause swelling and even the outer layer of skin to detach.
