Medical Notes: Harmful Gummy Vitamins, How Cancer Spreads, And Futuristic Earbuds

We finally have more clues to how breast cancer spreads.

Research published in API Bioengineering used computer models to see exactly how cells move. The findings show that healthy cells separate from the breast when they become cancerous. The scientists hope this research will lay the groundwork for a potential cure.

Gummy vitamins fill the aisles at grocery stores, but they can create a sticky situation for your teeth.

Turns out, these little supplements can be just as bad as candy for your oral health. They have a high sugar content and can pull out fillings and crowns. According to dentists, liquid supplements are your mouth’s best bet.

How common is long COVID?

A paper in The Lancet finds that three to five percent of people worldwide developed long covid after their original covid diagnosis. The research also finds that the risk of long-term symptoms depends on immune responses and how much of the original virus is left in the body. There’s no cure for long covid, but the researchers hope these findings lead towards a new treatment.

New earbuds don’t just play music– they can also detect when you’re falling asleep.

A prototype of wireless earbuds can track drowsiness by scanning brain waves. Research published in Nature Communications shows that these buds are just as effective as traditional ones, and they hope the added technology can be used to diagnose sleep disorders.
