The Federalist: Why Is Bezos Still Banning The Book That Exposed Trans Insanity?
Amazon continues to ban Ryan Anderson's book, "When Harry Became Sally," despite claims from Big Tech of a shift toward less censorship of conservative views. The book critiques gender ideology, which has faced increasing scrutiny as societal norms evolve.

Fox News: Drinking dairy-free milk can raise depression risk, says study, as doctor disagrees
A recent UK Biobank study suggests that consuming dairy-free milk alternatives may be linked to a higher risk of depression. It found that those who drank full cream milk had a lower risk of depression compared to those who opted for non-dairy options.
However, experts point out potential flaws in the study, noting that when calorie intake was considered, the increased risk disappeared. They also highlighted that participants consuming plant-based milks often had lower body mass indices, which could indicate underlying eating disorders. Nutritionists advise maintaining a balanced diet to support mental health.
