Good morning, Danbury.

NHTSA data shows distracted driving is a safety risk, with cellphone use as the top distraction (texting takes about five seconds, which at 55 mph equals a football field) and in Connecticut over 26,000 crashes between 2021 and 2025 have resulted in nearly 50 deaths and 7,800 injuries.

Danbury’s trusted Dr. Golenbock explains that early research on gut bacteria may soon provide personalized warnings for disease risk and diet advice as new DNA analysis tools are developed.
