• World champion pulls clear of Paul Seixas on final climb

• ‘It means a lot to win again one of the biggest races’

The world champion, Tadej Pogacar, pulled ahead of the 19-year-old French debutant Paul Seixas in the final climb to secure his third straight Liège-Bastogne-Liège title on Sunday, his fourth overall victory in the race.

Pogacar finished the 259.5-km race in five hours, 50 minutes and 28 seconds to win the 13th monument title of his career and his third of the year after the Tour of Flanders and Milan-San Remo.

From avocado to hemp, extra virgin olive and rapeseed, the shops are packed with various oils. But what is worth spending money on? And are any of them actually better for you?

The world of cooking oils is confusing. I keep spotting new ones on supermarket shelves, trumpeting their health claims. Cold-pressed avocado oil, extra virgin macadamia oil, organic coconut oil, premium hemp seed oil … Even familiar oils are mired in controversy. Is it OK to cook with olive oil? Should you avoid seed oils? Meanwhile, prices keep rising – earlier this month, Walter Zanre, the CEO of Filippo Berio UK, said supermarkets were “taking the mickey” out of customers over olive oil pricing. I asked the experts which oils are really worth splashing out on.

Clients no longer just describe their symptoms, they arrive with screenshots of dense articles, AI chatbot information and the phrase ‘I’ve done my research’

Ben* sat across from me, explaining how his low motivation, lethargy and trouble sleeping seemed like depression from content he had seen online. I made a recommendation to get his bloodwork done with his GP, who advised that Ben was low in vitamin D and iron, which can mimic depressive symptoms. Under the care of his GP, Ben’s symptoms quickly resolved without requiring further psychological intervention

Thuy* made an appointment with me, armed with information and old school and university records after her colleague was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. After going through the assessment process, I diagnosed her with inattentive ADHD, a commonly underdiagnosed condition among women and girls. Thuy was relieved and felt as though her life finally made sense to her, after years of assuming she was “just lazy”.

What is the study design? Is it a controlled trial or a single-case report? Locate it on the evidence hierarchy.

Who was studied? Did the research include people like yourself in age, gender, health status or ethnicity? A study on 20-year-old athletes may not apply to a 60-year-old with a chronic condition.

Who is behind it? Check the funding source and author affiliations. Is it published in a reputable, peer-reviewed journal? Be warned: the peer-review system itself is under assault from AI-generated “slop papers” – fake studies churned out to pad academic CVs – making vigilance even more paramount.

What are the numbers? How many participants were involved? Are the results statistically significant and do the authors openly discuss the study’s limitations?

What is the consensus? Is this a lone finding or does it align with the broader body of evidence? What do other independent experts in the field say?

It was my first pregnancy and I’d been sick for more than seven months with hyperemesis gravidarum. In those late stages, after the HG finally passed, I was exhausted and overwhelmed. It was the dual feeling of excitement and trepidation. Was I ready to have a baby when I’d only just got used to waddling around and the discomfort of pregnancy?

One day I was at the shops and not feeling great. As I was walking down an aisle, a woman came up behind me. I assumed she was going to ask me to move or make a not-super-friendly comment. Instead, she said: “Do you know that your shoelace is undone?” I didn’t – I couldn’t see my feet! – and thanked her for letting me know.

The uptick in children focused on skincare has some experts concerned about body image and mental health. But others warn of the risks of rushing to ‘medicalise’ new trends or behaviours

Sephora stores are being overrun with tweens pumping product testers. Eight-year-olds film themselves on “Sephora hauls” and GRMW (get ready with me) videos, applying collagen boosting serums and retinol creams for their nonexistent wrinkles. And party bags are stuffed with face masks and fluffy headbands, instead of glitter and gummy bears.

The rise of Sephora kids is a widely reported issue, but the uptick of children “obsessed” with skincare has some experts concerned about the long-term effects of age-inappropriate products and increased occupation with appearance at such a pivotal age.

WASHINGTON (ANP) - De Amerikaanse Republikeinse senator Thom Tillis zal stemmen voor de benoeming van Kevin Warsh als de nieuwe voorzitter van de Federal Reserve. Dat heeft hij zondag gezegd tijdens een interview met NBC News. Daarmee lijkt de beëdiging van de door Donald Trump voorgedragen kandidaat als opvolger van de huidige Fed-voorzitter Jerome Powell zekerder te worden. Powells termijn loopt in mei af.

Een speciale commissie van de Senaat moet de keuze voor Warsh goedkeuren. Eerder zei Tillis de benoeming te blokkeren totdat het Amerikaanse ministerie van Justitie een onderzoek naar de Fed heeft afgerond. Vrijdag werd bekend dat het ministerie het onderzoek naar de Amerikaanse centrale bank sluit. Dat onderzoek draaide om de renovatie van het hoofdkantoor van de Fed en Powells getuigenis daarover voor het Congres.

Powell zei begin dit jaar dat de regering-Trump met het strafrechtelijk onderzoek druk wilde uitoefenen op het rentebeleid van de Fed.
