A Joint Supplement Alzheimer's Warning, a Sunscreen Upgrade 30 Years in the Making, and Breast Cancer in Men

from WJCT News Now Plus · host WJCT Public Media

This week, Dr. Joe looks at a surprising finding about a supplement millions of older adults take daily, a long-overdue upgrade to sunscreen, and a celebrity diagnosis shining light on a cancer most people don't know men can get. A new University of Florida study links glucosamine, a widely used joint supplement, to faster Alzheimer's progression in people already showing signs of cognitive decline. Dr. Joe explains why you shouldn't panic but why this is the right moment to ask your doctor a simple question — and reveals the unexpected silver lining this research may hold for the future of Alzheimer's treatment. The FDA has approved the first new sunscreen ingredient in nearly 30 years, a UV filter already trusted in Europe and Asia that stays stable longer in the sun. Dr. Joe breaks down what this means for how you protect your skin this summer — and sets the record straight on the growing trend of skipping sunscreen altogether. Actor and wrestler Tyler Mane went public with his breast cancer diagnosis after his own doctors initially dismissed the possibility, and he's urging men to pay closer attention to their bodies. Dr. Joe explains what symptoms men should never ignore and why this kind of courage in speaking out can genuinely save lives. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
