The Oat Milk Backlash, Glucose Spikes & UPF Lawsuits

Is oat milk really bad for you? This week, we dive into the oat milk backlash—why sales are dropping, whether it actually spikes blood sugar, and if it's as unhealthy as some claim.

We also break down the glucose monitor trend. More and more people without diabetes are tracking their blood sugar—but is it helpful or just another wellness obsession?

Plus, could ultra-processed food (UPF) companies be sued like Big Tobacco? Legal experts are investigating whether food manufacturers knowingly made their products addictive.

And finally, a shocking study found microplastics in human brains. Should we be worried, or is this just another scary headline?
