April 2023 Archive — clear takes on meds, nervous system health, and transport tech

This month we published four short, focused posts that touch three health topics and one tech issue that affects everyday life. Each piece gives practical info you can use right away — from drug safety to a surprising nutrient, and even how cars of the future might change traffic. Below I summarize the key points and what to watch for.

Autonomous vehicles and future congestion

The autonomous vehicle piece looks at how self-driving cars could change commute life. The main idea: if cars can talk to each other and keep steady speeds, they can pack roads more efficiently and smooth out stop-and-go waves. That means less wasted time and fuel. But technology alone won’t do it — traffic management and smarter road design will matter too. If you’re a city planner or commuter, watch for pilot lanes, updated signals, and apps that mix human and autonomous driving data to cut jams.

Short health reads you can act on

Fumarate: research discussed in April points to fumarate as a molecule that may protect nerves and support energy production in cells. That doesn’t mean a supplement cure; it suggests diet and metabolism matter for brain health. Consider foods that support cellular energy (balanced carbs, healthy fats, lean protein) and discuss any new supplements with your doctor before trying them.

Anastrozole and pregnancy: this post is a direct warning. Anastrozole is used in breast cancer treatment but can harm a developing fetus. If you’re pregnant, planning pregnancy, or of childbearing potential, talk to your oncologist or gynecologist before starting or continuing anastrozole. Alternatives or specific timing may be needed to protect both parent and baby.

Atorvastatin and folic acid: we looked at how a common cholesterol drug and a B-vitamin can interact in everyday health. Atorvastatin helps lower cholesterol and reduce cardiovascular risk. Folic acid supports cell growth and can be especially important for people planning pregnancy or with certain deficiencies. If you take atorvastatin, ask your clinician whether folic acid fits your plan — they can check labs and balance benefits without adding needless pills.

Which post fits you? If you care about daily commutes and city change, read the autonomous vehicle piece. If you’re focused on nervous system health or supplements, the fumarate post is a quick primer. Pregnant people or those on cancer meds must read the anastrozole note and call their provider. And anyone on cholesterol meds can benefit from the atorvastatin + folic acid overview.
