A scone can equal a third of one’s recommended daily calories.
Publisher’s rating: Accurate with consideration. An average scone equals a fifth of recommended daily calories for females, and a sixth for males. The number of calories tends to be proportionate to the size of a scone rather than the luxuriousness of its filling.

The review examined a report asserting that one heart CT scan involved 80,000 times the radiation exposure of one kilogram of disaster-area food. It traced the CT figure to the Taiwan Atomic Energy Council’s radiation-dose comparison chart, which listed 16 mSv per coronary CT scan. However, a nuclear medicine physician consulted by the review said newer CT equipment can deliver substantially lower doses: the article cites about 1 mSv for a scan at Taipei’s Cheng Hsin Hospital and examples of GE scans ranging from 0.6 to 2.1 mSv. The review therefore cautioned that 16 mSv was not a fixed dose for every heart CT examination. The review also challenged the comparison with food, rather than treating the two numbers as directly comparable. The physician explained that radiation from contaminated food is internal exposure after radioactive material is ingested, while CT radiation is external exposure directed at the body. The article further notes that a CT is performed for a medical need, whereas food may be eaten repeatedly and the amount and type of exposure may be unclear; it says these differences make the comparison’s basis inappropriate. Its conclusion was that the headline was incomplete: it relied on an outdated dose reference and an invalid comparison between unlike exposure situations. The review did not establish that every CT scan has a particular dose or that the claimed ratio is meaningful across examinations and food exposures.

Compared with the cluster of few metabolic changes, every 1-h increase in sleep variability was associated with almost doubled odds for the cluster characterized by incidence of multiple metabolic abnormalities (OR 1.97 [95% CI 1.18, 3.30] for sleep duration and OR 2.10 [95% CI 1.25, 3.53] for sleep timing)
