The health secret 1 in 5 patients keep from their doctors Patients don't always tell their doctors everything. They round down the number of drinks they have per week, or skip over the medication they forgot to take. The newest omission? Taking health advice from AI. A Zocdoc-commissioned national survey of more than 1,000 patients and 1,000 healthcare providers conducted in February 2026 reveals why. As Zocdoc explains below, the survey results also suggest that the fear driving the silence is...

Here’s exactly how a Fed rate change hits your wallet Whether you’re building an emergency fund, saving for a home, paying down debt, or investing for retirement, Federal Reserve interest rate decisions can affect all of these life moments, though not always in the same way. For example, a higher rate might work in your favor if you’re earning interest on your savings, but it can make borrowing more expensive if you’re applying for a mortgage or a loan. A lower rate works the other way. Borrowi...

The market has calmed. Retail investors still don't believe it. When the U.S. and Iran stepped back from the brink in June 2026, the markets calmed almost overnight. Retail investors did not. MarketWise surveyed 1,006 U.S. retail investors to see how they were processing the whiplash, and the mood that came back was less relief than suspicion. Most weren’t buying the rebound, at least not yet. The researchers asked how the ceasefire changed the way investors feel, whether they’d moved any mon...

Blood tests are easier to order than ever. Doctors warn they're easy to misread. Blood work used to start with a doctor’s order, usually to diagnose or monitor disease. But people are increasingly using blood work to ask proactive questions like: How healthy am I? Is something beginning to change? Could I feel or function better? In a recent national survey of 1,000 U.S. patients who had undergone lab testing in the previous two years, more than 1 in 4 did so out of curiosity without a d...

This guide from Members 1st Federal Credit Union helps homeowners confidently choose between a hom...

One of East Coast’s largest data centers accused of ‘violating federal laws’ The largest planned AI data center in New Jersey is being accused of violating federal law after a Floodlight visual investigation found the site running dozens of unpermitted gas-powered generators.

DataOne has stirred contr...
Gen Z is least likely to believe cancer can be prevented. Many don't know basic screenings exist. Gen Z adults are at the stage when lifelong habits start to take shape. They’re launching careers, reflecting on their values, and building relationships and routines. They’re also navigating messages about beauty standards that sometimes oppose the needs of their long-term health. Case in point: the “tanmaxxing” trend found on social media. “Ain’t no way I’m letting my job stop me from soaking...
What businesses need to know about shipping, from parcel and freight to LTL and FTL Every shipment has one job: get to the customer. It doesn’t matter how it gets there—whatever mode gets the job done is the right one. Most business owners aren’t trying to become shipping experts.

For many businesses, “shipping” once meant choosing a carrier and printing a...
