Younger men are increasingly drawn to older women, and experts say it has nothing to do with looks. A board-certified sexologist says women who date younger often feel more confident communicating their needs and less concerned with outside judgment.

A 2023 Bumble poll found 59% of women were more open to dating someone younger, while a 2025 study found both men and women were slightly more attracted to younger partners after blind dates.

Leonardo DiCaprio's recent beach photos reignited debate over belly fat — and experts warn the health risks go deeper than appearance.

Visceral fat surrounding the organs has been linked to heart disease and diabetes, according to Cleveland Clinic. Men with a waist circumference over 40 inches face a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

DEADLY MOLD: A rare brain-infecting fungus called Cladophialophora bantiana has surged nearly fourfold in U.S. detections between 2023 and 2025, according to the CDC.

The black mold carries a 60% to 70% fatality rate even with aggressive treatment, and roughly half of all infections strike people with no underlying immune issues.

Cases have been identified across 21 states, with the highest counts in California, Florida, Texas and Pennsylvania. by @foxnewshealth

BACK ON HIS FEET: Pope Leo XIV was photographed standing at an altar celebrating Mass just four days after surgeons removed the lower lobe of his right lung following a lung cancer diagnosis.

Doctors confirmed the 71-year-old pontiff's recovery allows him to "carry out normal daily activities entirely independently." If the cancer is stage 1, an oncologist told Fox News Digital there is about a 90% chance of cure.

Pope Leo XIV has been diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma after surgeons removed the lower lobe of his right lung, the Vatican announced. The Pope has no known history of smoking.

An oncologist told Fox News Digital the surgery suggests localized disease and a "high chance" of cure — about 90% if it's stage 1. Up to 25% of women and 10% of men diagnosed with lung cancer have never smoked.

ANTI-AGING: An experimental skin cream reduced the biological age of skin by 2 years in just 4 weeks, according to data from biotech company Rubedo Life Sciences.

The treatment, RLS-1496, cleared out damaged senescent cells while boosting collagen by 10% and lowering inflammation markers in eczema patients.

The company is now planning a hair loss trial within weeks, saying the cream re-activates dormant hair stem cells. FDA approval is still several years away, but cosmetic versions could hit shelves within a year. by @foxnewshealth

DARK TURN: A Maryland man claims he lost vision in both eyes after taking Ozempic, filing a lawsuit against Novo Nordisk alleging the drugmaker failed to warn patients about the risk of NAION, a condition known as "eye stroke."

Todd Engel lost sight in his right eye four months after starting the drug — then his left eye 10 months later. Novo Nordisk says the lawsuits are "without merit." by @foxnewshealth

Kai Trump shared an update from her hospital bed after undergoing wrist surgery for a golf injury sustained during her first tournament of the season at the University of Miami.

The 19-year-old said recovery will "take time," but vowed to come back "stronger and more grateful than ever." by @foxnewshealth

HIDDEN CLUES: A Finnish study of 407 early-onset Alzheimer's patients found 10 health conditions — including depression, vertigo, headaches and stroke — appeared at significantly higher rates in the five years before diagnosis.

Researchers compared their medical records against 4,035 people of similar age and sex over a 15-year window. The average age at diagnosis was 60.

The study could not determine whether the conditions are causes or early consequences of the disease process. by @foxnewshealth

Selma Blair's attorney says the actress missed several doses of a powerful neurological medication before her in-flight arrest, leaving her in "a state of severe confusion and disorientation" on a flight into New York City.

Blair, 54, was arraigned on two counts of second-degree assault for allegedly attacking crew members, a nurse, and a police officer. Her lawyer called it a medical emergency, not criminal misconduct.

UNEXPECTED UPSIDE: Researchers in Italy found that tadalafil, the active ingredient in the erectile dysfunction drug Cialis, helped muscle precursor cells grow and survive in a lab study using mouse cells.

The drug increased early regeneration signals and reduced cell death, but also delayed the development of fully mature muscle fibers — meaning it does not indicate increased muscle size or function in humans.

Longer studies and human trials are still needed. by @foxnewshealth
