BBC News

I'm 12 and I want to try protein powder - should I? Twelve-year-old Ben is desperate to try protein powder but there's one hurdle: me, his mum. I've asked about 20 times and you just keep saying no!, he says, claiming it would make him fitter and bigger and that his male friends use it. In recent years, there's been an explosion of products marketed as high protein, including milk, yoghurt, breads, cereals, bars and powders. Social media is flooded with adverts for various supplements, including protein powder. As a health journalist, I'm sceptical and think at Ben's age he must be getting enough protein through his diet.

Trump Aides Admit the House Is a Lost Cause

WIRED

With the midterm elections just a few weeks away, the White House knows it has to go all in on Senate races--while virtually forfeiting the House. Trump White House aides see almost no paths to Republicans keeping control of the House in the midterm elections, and are more focused on redoubling their efforts to save the Senate majority. That has been the takeaway for officials in GOP groups who have been discussing the state of play with White House aides in recent weeks, according to three sources familiar with the situation. It all comes as the White House moves into damage-control mode after contemplating for the first time earlier this month, as previously reported, that Republicans could possibly lose both chambers of Congress. The general expectation is that the House has become a lost cause.
