Tiger Woods DUI Charge After Florida Rollover Crash Likely Won’t Stick March 2026 A legal expert has suggested that a potential DUI charge against golf icon Tiger Woods may not hold up in court following a recent rollover crash in Florida. According to early reports, Woods was involved in a serious single-vehicle rollover accident on a Florida roadway. Emergency responders arrived at the scene shortly after the crash, where Woods was found conscious but disoriented. He was later transported to a nearby hospital for evaluation.

Under Florida law, prosecutors must establish clear evidence of impairment—either through: Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) above the legal limit, or Observable imp...

Metformin Does More Than Control Blood Sugar: New Research on Brain Effects Metformin, one of the most widely prescribed drugs for Type 2 Diabetes , has long been known for lowering blood sugar. But new research is changing that simple narrative. Scientists are now discovering that this decades-old medication directly affects the brain—and not always in straightforward ways. Recent studies (including work published in Science Advances ) show that metformin doesn’t just act in the liver or gut—it also works in the brain. It targets a brain protein called Rap1 , especially in the hypothalamus (a region controlling energy and glucose balance). By switching off Rap1 , metformin activates specific neurons (SF1 neurons) that help regulate blood sugar.  This suggests that part of metformin’s glucose-lowering effect actually starts in the brain—not just the body.  Some headlines highlight negative brain effects , but the reality is more nuanced. 1. Potential Cognitive Downsides (in s...
