I'm Joe Scarpelli with your top health headlines right now. Both Australia and the United States are reporting their second cases of the highly pathogenic avian influenza in humans. The case in Australia comes just a day after the country's first reported case and is in a person who worked at a poultry farm. The case in the US is in a Michigan dairy worker who had contact with infected animals. That person is reported to have had mild eye symptoms and has recovered. Health officials say the risk to the public remains low, but farm workers exposed to infected animals are at higher risk. People who consume more ultra processed food like soft drinks and chips may be at a higher risk of having memory and thinking issues, a new report from the American Academy of Neurology found. When people consume 10% more ultra processed food per day, it led to a 16% higher risk of cognitive impairment. The study reviewed over 30,000 people aged 45 and older. And follow the subjects for a period of 11 years. Researchers also found that greater intake of these foods meant participants were 8% more likely to suffer a stroke. The federal government says 2,000,000 seniors have been approved to receive coverage under the Canadian Dental Care Plan.

In June, the application process will expand to include adults who receive a disability tax credit. As well as children under 18.

It's recommended to see a doctor to diagnose the condition and explore treatment options. And those are the top health stories right now. For more, you can head to globalnews.ca. I'm Joel Scarpally.
