💙 Hello Medimap Community,

Your back pain isn’t random; it’s a warning sign Canadians ignore until it becomes life-changing.

Plus, cloned meat approvals, Alzheimer’s system failures, and the rise of ultra-processed food risks. 👇

🦴 The Hidden Causes of Back Pain Most People Never Fix

Back pain is the #1 cause of disability in the world, and if you’ve been waking up stiff, sitting with a dull ache, or getting those sharp pains when you bend, your body is warning you.

Sneak Peek Inside:

  • How back pain spreads

  • Daily habits making your pain worse

  • Proven fixes that actually relieve pain

. NEWSFLASH .

🍔 Cloned Meat May Enter Canadian Food Supply
Health Canada is poised to allow meat from the offspring of cloned animals with no labels and no safety review. Experts warn Canadians won’t know what they’re buying.

🧠 Canada Not Ready for New Alzheimer’s Treatments
A new report says Canada’s system can’t handle upcoming Alzheimer’s therapies. Long wait times, limited diagnostic tools, and inconsistent access could mean many families miss the window.

🤖 AI Researchers Find New Cancer-Fighting Drugs
Scientists are using AI to design entirely new drugs that target a cancer-linked enzyme. Early results show potential to treat aggressive tumours previously resistant to therapy.

🥫 Ultra-Processed Foods Linked to Colon Cancer
Nearly half of Canadians’ diets are ultra-processed, and new research ties them to early colorectal polyps in younger adults. High sugar, additives, and low fibre may be driving rising cancer rates.
