\n Welcome back! One of BI\u2019s editors didn\u2019t invite parents to her son\u2019s 8th birthday party. You\u2019d be surprised to learn there were no meltdowns or mayhem. Find out why<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n

\n Not your grandfather\u2019s colon cancer\n <\/p>\n

\n Rectal cancer, a form of colon cancer that often occurs at the end of the intestinal tract, is skyrocketing. It now accounts for one-third of all colon cancers diagnosed, according to a new report from the American Cancer Society. For those under the age of 50, rectal cancer diagnoses have doubled in 24 years.\n <\/p>\n

\n Scientists aren\u2019t sure why this is happening, but experts suspect something in our environment is triggering this. More awareness among patients and doctors, along with more colonoscopies, is integral to reversing the trend.\n <\/p>\n

\n Don\u2019t overlook these warning signs<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n

\n You\u2019ve heard of catfishing, now get ready for \u2026\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cHousefishing\u201d has hit real-estate listings. Like catfishing, when someone\u2019s appearance doesn\u2019t match their photos, housefishing is when a property doesn\u2019t live up to its AI-generated listing photos.\u00a0\n <\/p>\n

\n Some real estate agents say it\u2019s getting out of hand. AI can help homebuyers visualize a house\u2019s potential, but it can also mislead them about what a space actually looks like. So if that dream listing looks too good to be true, you may not want to get your hopes up.\n <\/p>\n

\n Watch out for housefishing<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n

\n Readers had a lot of strong feelings about BI correspondent Emily Stewart\u2019s RFK-approved, $15-a-day diet story. The comment section quickly filled with people fighting about diets, budgets, and the experiment. Emily\u2019s inbox wasn\u2019t spared, either.\n <\/p>\n

\n That\u2019s because debates about food aren\u2019t just about food. Americans moralize eating as a signal of character and discipline \u2014 food fights are usually a proxy for arguments about identity, class, politics, and control.\n <\/p>\n

\n Sports medicine doctor Jordan Metzl is a proponent of longevity, but thinks the craze has gone too far. “I feel like the next move is going to be protein toothpaste,” he said. Instead, he hopes people get back to the longevity basics: exercise, diet, socializing, and good sleep.\n <\/p>\n

\n Metzl tries to lead by example. In the past, he\u2019s completed dozens of marathons and 15 Ironman Triathlons. He shared his weekly workout routine to stay fit and feel his best.\n <\/p>\n

\n His routine includes a run-commute<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n
