Ultra-processed foods are linked to health problems such as cancer, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Ultra-processed foods tend to be made from ingredients you wouldn't find in a regular kitchen and are manufactured using industrial techniques. "I think we're getting too bogged down with the term ultra-processed food, we just need to make it a bit simpler," Patel told Business Insider. It's also very important to look at food labels, Patel said, so that you actually know what you're eating. Ultra-processed foods make up 73% of the US food supply.

A diet high in ultra-processed foods has been linked to a range of health concernsNutritionist Rob Hobson eats as few UPFs as possible, focusing on whole foods where he can. AdvertisementA nutritionist who limits ultra-processed foods in his diet as much as possible, and wrote a book on how others can do the same, shared what he used to eat for lunch versus what he has now. Rob Hobson, a UK-based nutritionist, cut down on ultra-processed foods about a year ago after learning how many everyday items fell into this category and the potential health risks they could pose. Advertisement"I don't normally eat processed meat, but it's the easiest thing to grab if you're working in an office," he said. But it's important to note that studies have only identified a link and can't confirm that processed meat causes these illnesses.

Aleksandr Zubkov/Moment RF/Getty ImagesBypassing the digestive systemMuch like the regurgitated food mother birds feed their babies in the nest, ultraprocessed food is quick and easy to digest, according to experts. “So the question is, which degree of processing remains compatible with human food system sustainability and global health? Some food processing may be goodHumans have processed food for centuries — the first evidence of fermentation was some 13,000 years ago. Alexander Donin/iStockphoto/Getty ImagesThe ingredients used in many ultraprocessed foods, however, have been subjected to much more than a bit of heat. “The other way I put it is that individuals who are trying to control their weight in today’s food environment are fighting an entire food system on their own.

How Reuters pinpointed bat-virus risk zones worldwide
  + stars: | 2023-05-16 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +12 min
Areas where conditions are similar are more prone to spillover, scientists say. The Reuters analysis, which assessed spillover risk through 2020, has proven to have some predictive power. Similar statistical models are used widely to analyze data in ecology, and researchers use them to understand spillover risk. More than one of every five people on the planet is living in areas where the risk is highest for spillover. Using epidemic modeling software called GLEAMviz, the news agency simulated a worldwide pandemic originating from the spillover of a theoretical novel virus.
Initial claims about a link between Yankee Candle reviews on Amazon and a rise in cases of Covid were posted on Twitter and later explored on the platform during the Omicron surge in December 2021. Twitter user @drewtoothpaste took screen grabs of one-star reviews of Yankee candles that were all made within a week of each other. "The reviews were leading, and the Covid cases were lagging. In Beauchamp's paper, he analyzed nearly 10,000 Amazon reviews and was able to determine that negative reviews weren't linked to specific seasons where Covid cases typically rise and fall — like winter and summer. Another consideration was the link between negative scented product reviews and cases of the flu, and there wasn't a correlation there, he notes.
