Roughly 30 teens referred to Rush University Medical Center in the past year displayed a range of involuntary actions, from jerking arm movements to curse words to head and neck twitches. Self-injurious behavior was common, according to some doctors, with many patients displaying bruises and abrasions resulting from their tics. Caroline Olvera, a movement-disorders fellow, noticed that numerous teens were saying the word “beans,” often in a British accent. Even patients who didn’t speak English were saying it. Some patients mentioned they had seen TikTok videos of others with tics.

    Try making a small batch of slow cooker/dutch oven Boston baked beans. It's parboiled navy beans cooked with molasses and bacon, usually some diced onions and black pepper. It's less runny than canned beans and has a deep smoky-sweet flavor where the molasses is nowhere near as sweet as brown sugar.
