The Quicky

We know there are chemicals in some of the things we buy that aren't the best for our health, but we maybe didn't consider that they might be in nearly everything.

New research from the University of Adelaide's JBI and the Minderoo Foundation has found harmful chemicals in plastic can increase our risks of developing a list of health conditions and the problem is, we don't know which plastics contain them and in what quantities.

So how do we stop ourselves from absorbing plastic chemicals when they're in so many of the things we use every day?

The Blake Lively v Justin Baldoni feud over their new movie 'It Ends With Us' has taken over our algorithms and created headlines across the globe.

But is Lively really the mean girl she's being painted as? Or is there something more at play here? Is she perhaps too powerful in her career now, able to make decisions as big as taking over control of a movie from its intended director and producer?

We discuss the power play at hand with the release of this movie, the business deals and the role Lively's husband Ryan Reynolds has played as the movie's cast and crew back her in the power war.

We'll keep you across the Paris Paralympics with Pulse on Paris returning next week

A new Tik Tok trend of women filming themselves getting an IUD inserted has highlighted how painful the procedure can be for many.

It's revealed that in many cases, women's pain is not taken seriously and it should be something that doctors review and reconsider when it comes to the insertion of the birth control device.

But is seeing other women's pain helping or hindering the process for those whoa re considering getting the device themselves? We look at exactly how IUD insertion works and what changes your efforts posting your experiences online have achieved.

Australian televisions' night of nights is almost upon us.

Before we hand out another year's worth of Logie Awards, we have to wonder... where have the Logies of years gone by ended up?

Also, how does a gold Logie nominee prepare for such an occasion? We ask Larry Emdur how he's fairing 48 hours out.
