OAN Opposes Nexstar Merger Over Media Ownership Limits

One America News Network criticized the proposed $6.2 billion Nexstar-Tegna merger that would create the largest TV broadcast group in America. The deal would give Nexstar control over stations reaching 80% of the US market, more than double the current 39% federal limit. OAN President Charles Herring warned the merger would lead to higher cable bills, more blackouts, and fewer independent voices. The network argues only competition, not consolidation, serves consumers and democracy.

Long Distance Running Linked To Higher Colon Cancer Risk

A Virginia study found that marathon and ultramarathon runners have higher rates of colon cancer than expected for their age group. Dr. Timothy Cannon studied 100 runners aged 35 to 50 and found 15% had advanced precancerous growths compared to the normal 1 to 2% rate. Another 41% had at least one growth. Researchers think intense training causes repeated gut stress that may lead to inflammation and cell damage over time.

Study Shows Daily Beet Juice Lowers Blood Pressure

A new study found that older adults who drank beet juice daily experienced natural blood pressure reductions. The biggest benefits were seen in people aged 60 to 70. Beet juice contains nitrates that convert to nitric oxide in the body, helping blood vessels relax and widen. High blood pressure affects millions of Americans and increases risk of heart disease and stroke. Beets also provide fiber, antioxidants, and may have cancer-fighting properties beyond their heart benefits.
