New York CNN —It’s a moment many shoppers grapple with at some point during a grocery run: Why does a carton of brown eggs cost more than a carton of white eggs? “It costs more to make a dozen brown eggs because the chickens that produce them tend to eat more.”Egg farmers say brown and white eggs are closely matched in their nutritional value. “If there’s brown eggs next to white eggs, typically you’re going to pay anywhere between 10% to 20% more for brown eggs, regardless of free range or organic,” he said. Brown eggs generally cost more in stores than white eggs. Looking specifically at the economics of producing brown eggs versus conventional white eggs, Anderson confirmed it does indeed cost more to produce the brown variety.

Rex Heuermann, whom prosecutors charged in July as the Gilgo Beach serial killer, was indicted Tuesday morning in connection with a fourth murder. Mr. Heuermann, 60, was previously charged in the killings of three of the four women who in 2010 were found bound in similar fashion with burlap, belts and tape on the Long Island oceanfront. In July, prosecutors called Mr. Heuermann the prime suspect in the murder of the fourth woman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25, of Norwich, Conn. Ms. Brainard-Barnes disappeared in 2007, becoming the first of the so-called Gilgo Four to vanish. But charges in her killing were delayed, pending DNA test results on a hair recovered from her remains, and the grand jury in the case continued its work. Months later, it finally returned a murder indictment in connection with her death.

CNN —Eating higher amounts of ultraprocessed food raises the risk of being diagnosed with multimorbidity, or having multiple chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer, a new study found. “This paper reports a 9% increase in risk of multimorbidity to be associated with higher intake of ultraprocessed food,” Sanders said in a statement. In the United States, a 2019 study estimated some 71% of the food supply may be ultraprocessed. Sugary and artificially-flavored drinks and ultraprocessed meats like hot dogs were significantly linked to the development of ccancer and other disease.

Norwich City cancelled a sponsorship deal with BK8 in 2021 after three days following a backlash from supporters over its sexualised marketing material involving young women. loading"At the time, we were given assurances of the club's due diligence process and advised that the misogynistic practices were that of a BK8 affiliate," AVST said.

The company, which runs First Bus and First Rail, was also awarded funding under the first ZEBRA scheme last March. The new funding will take the total number of electric buses in its fleet to more than 600 by March 2024.
