☆ Yogurt can make limited claim to reduce risk of type 2 diabetes, FDA says
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-01 | by ( Kristen Rogers | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

CNN —In a decision nearly five years in the making, the US Food and Drug Administration has decided that yogurts can now make a limited claim that the food may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, the federal agency concluded Friday. The decision marks the first-ever qualified health claim the federal agency has issued for yogurt. Qualified health claims “are supported by scientific evidence, but do not meet the more rigorous ‘significant scientific agreement’ standard required for an authorized health claim,” according to the FDA. The submission set in motion an FDA review of existing research on the relationships between yogurt and type 2 diabetes, according to a news release. Qualified health claims have been allowed by the FDA for dietary supplements since 2000 and for food since 2002, but they are rarely announced.

The deck kicked off a game of one-upmanship among Wall Street banks trying to keep their employees happy.

There have, of course, been endless rumors about Lit's identity, especially among Wall Street underlings. Wall Street underlings have speculated about Litquidity's identity for years. Basak, one attendee said, wanted to take a "wrecking ball through it all" and hold Wall Street heavy hitters accountable.

☆ ANALYST VIEW Markets tumble as Turkey faces runoff election after Erdogan leads first round

[1/2] Supporters of Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan wave flags outside the AK Party headquarters, in Ankara, Turkey May 15, 2023. DEBT: Five-year credit default swaps jumped over 100 basis points from Friday and dollar bonds fell more than 7 cents. STOCKS: Borsa Istanbul issued a market-wide circuit breaker after the benchmark index (.XU100) dropped 6.38% in pre-market trading and was last down 2.7%. PIOTR MATYS, SENIOR FOX ANALYST, IN TOUCH CAPITAL MARKETS, POLAND:"When/if President Erdogan is re-elected, the lira should be trading far more freely. CLEMENS GRAFE AND BASAK EDIZGIL, GOLDMAN SACHS, LONDON:"The (rates and CDS) market dynamics post the initial move will be dependent on the FX market.

Ahead of Sunday's elections, a cost of living crisis is now hitting Erdogan's support in the southeast as elsewhere, threatening his prospects in a tough battle to maintain power. A survey published this week by pollster Rawest showed 76.3% support for opposition presidential candidate Kemal Kilicdaroglu in Diyarbakir province, with backing for Erdogan at just 20.5%. The Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), deemed a terrorist group by Turkey and its Western allies, took up arms against the state in 1984. Those talks collapsed in 2015, unleashing a period of ferocious urban warfare in the southeast, including in the streets near Aydin's shop. CHANGE IN ERDOGANThe HDP, parliament's third largest party, has itself declared its support for Kilicdaroglu.

☆ One of the most active homebuyers on Wall Street just predicted the demise of Opendoor and other iBuyers that have made housing so volatile
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-08 | by ( Alex Nicoll | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

In an interview with Bloomberg, Mullen doesn't see nearly as much chaos in today's housing woes, though pitfalls and opportunities still abound. In today's market, with most homeowners paying substantially lower mortgage rates than prevailing levels and mortgage delinquencies low, regular people aren't likely to sell. Homebuilders, representing another industry that's highly sensitive to housing market swings, are under pressure but can survive, Mullen said. Stepping back, Mullen's read is that too many institutions got in at the top of the housing market. "The most obvious example is iBuyers," Mullen said.
