Watch: Moment shocked news anchor is diagnosed with skin cancer live on-air
Mike Jerrick, co-host of Good Day Philadelphia, was presenting a segment on skin cancer signs and prevention with a dermatologist when he was given the surprising news on Wednesday (4 June).
Dr. Joanna Walker pointed to a mole on Jerrick's arm and said it has 'all the features of the most common type of skin cancer'.
'What?', he exclaimed, asking if it needed to be burned or cut off.
Dr Walker reassured him that it was 'very treatable' but that he needs to make an appointment to have it looked at right away.

This juicy summer fruit helps beat the heat while boosting heart and brain, experts say
One summertime fruit doesn't just offer juicy sweetness – it can deliver a powerful hydration boost, support brain health and supply essential vitamins and antioxidants, experts say. Peaches, which are about 89% water, outshine their stone-fruit counterparts like plums and nectarines in terms of hydration, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). They also pack in similar antioxidant benefits with fewer calories. Watermelon and cantaloupe top the charts for highest water content, but peaches follow closely behind, according to the USDA. Fruits that hydrate while also providing electrolytes can help the body better replace and retain fluids than water alone, research shows. The fuzzy fruits offer several electrolytes, plus many other nutrients. "Peaches are rich in fiber, vitamin C and potassium," Vandana Sheth, a Los Angeles-based registered dietitian nutritionist, told Fox News Digital. "All of these nutrients help support digestion, heart health and immunity." A medium raw peach contains about 285 milligrams of potassium, an essential mineral and electrolyte that plays a critical role in nerve function, muscle contraction, fluid balance, heart health and blood pressure management. That's more potassium than many popular electrolyte supplements and about 8.4% of the daily recommended intake for men and 11% recommended for women, according to the National Institutes of Health. Most U.S. residents consume too little potassium — which increases their risk of cardiovascular disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Peaches are also heart-healthy options thanks to their antioxidant content. They contain flavonoids, which help lower the risk of heart disease and support memory and cognition, and carotenoids, which can help fight inflammation and protect and restore skin. Early studies have indicated that the antioxidants can have potential anti-cancer effects, Sheth said. The flavonoids and carotenoids also give peaches their distinct color. "Peaches combine two groups of pigments that you don't often see together in other fruits and vegetables," Mary Ann Lila, a distinguished professor in the Plants for Human Health Institute at North Carolina State University, told The New York Times. Raw peaches with their skin also provide about 4% of the recommended daily amount of vitamin A and 13% of the daily vitamin C needed, plus a few grams of fiber to aid digestion and gut health, Sheth said. For those trying to limit sugar intake, pairing peaches – which contain up to 13 grams of natural sugar – with protein or healthy fats is key. This approach helps slow down sugar absorption and stabilizes blood sugar levels, added Sheth, who's also a certified diabetes care and education specialist. "You can add chopped peaches to your morning toast with nut butter or into your cereal or yogurt bowl, blend it into a smoothie or try grilling peaches with a sprinkle of spice," she recommended.

You Can't Outrun a Bad Diet and This Study Proves It
For years, people have blamed their expanding waistlines on not spending enough time at the gym. But a new study suggests the real problem may be what's on your plate, not how often you hit the treadmill. Scientists analyzed the daily calorie burn, body fat percentage, and BMI of more than 4,000 adults from diverse backgrounds, ranging from hunter-gatherers to office workers. Their conclusion? The amount of energy people expend each day is surprisingly similar, regardless of their lifestyle. So if we're all burning roughly the same amount of calories, why is obesity still climbing? Researchers say the answer is simple, and it's sitting in your pantry. 'We're not gaining weight because we stopped moving. We're gaining because we're overfed,' Florida neurosurgeon and longevity expert Dr. Brett Osborn, who wasn't part of the study but backs its findings, told Fox News Digital. Published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the study revealed that overeating is about 10 times more important than a lack of exercise in fueling the global obesity crisis. And while exercise is critical for heart health, mental well-being, and longevity, experts warn that counting on it to control weight isn't realistic. 'Exercise burns far fewer calories than people want to believe,' Osborn said. Adding to the problem is our growing addiction to ultraprocessed foods—calorie-packed, shelf-stable snacks engineered to override the body's natural signals of fullness. These foods make it dangerously easy to overeat, experts say, and they're driving obesity in places that never struggled with it before. Lindsay Allen, a registered dietitian, pointed out that building muscle and managing stress are also key factors in maintaining a healthy metabolism, but nothing replaces getting your diet in check. 'If you're worried about excess body fat, focus on calories in,' study authors Amanda McGrosky and Amy Luke advised. In other words, it's time to stop blaming the gym and start looking in the Can't Outrun a Bad Diet and This Study Proves It first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 20, 2025
