“I really gravitated towards the sugary ultraprocessed foods — it was like a physical drive, I had to have it,” he said. While many people addicted to food will say that their symptoms began to worsen significantly in adolescence, some recall a childhood focused on ultraprocessed food. The Institute of Food Technologists, an association of food professionals and technologists, does not agree with the research on ultraprocessed food addiction. “Children who eat a lot of ultraprocessed foods could well be malnourished.”According to the International Food and Beverage Alliance, however, there is no clear, objective, reliable or scientifically validated definition for “ultraprocessed” food. “Each time I would pray, ‘Please be it, please make this the answer.’ But I would ultimately start binging on ultraprocessed foods,” Odwazny said.

The body of one of three men missing after the partial collapse of an apartment building in Davenport, Iowa, has been recovered a week after a section of the six-story structure collapsed, a spokeswoman for the city said on Sunday. The spokeswoman, Sarah Ott, said in an email that the body of Branden Colvin Sr., 42, was found on Saturday. He is the first person confirmed to have died in the collapse. Two other men — Ryan Hitchcock, 51, and Daniel Prien, 60 — are still missing since part of the building came crashing down on May 28. The city government said in a statement on Thursday that it believed there was “high probability” that the three men could have been “home at the time of the collapse” and that “their apartments were located in the collapse zone.”

☆ Dirty Dozen list: Which fruits and vegetables could contain pesticides
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-15 | by ( Sandee Lamotte | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +8 min

Each year, a rotating list of produce is tested by USDA staffers who wash, peel or scrub fruits and vegetables as consumers would before the food is examined for 251 different pesticides. Kale, collard and mustard greens contained the largest number of different pesticides — 103 types — followed by hot and bell peppers at 101. Concerned consumers can consider choosing conventionally grown vegetables and fruits from the EWG’s Clean 15, a list of crops that tested lowest in pesticides, the report said. When last tested in 2014, blueberries contained over 50 different pesticides. Testing in 2020 and 2021 found 54 different pesticides — about the same amount.
