Whatever the method, avoiding hair loss is a “game-changer” for cancer treatment, Smith added.

☆ Weight gain in children and adults linked to 100% fruit juice, study says
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-16 | by ( Sandee Lamotte | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

CNN —Drinking a glass or more of 100% fruit juice each day was linked to a small increase in weight in children and adults, according to a new analysis of prior studies. In such a context, fruit juice is a much better choice than soda, for many reasons,” said Katz in an email. How juice impacts the bodyFor some, the concern over 100% fruit juice may be baffling — fruit is healthy, right? Eating a whole apple, for example, doesn’t spike blood sugar levels because fructose, the sugar found naturally in fruits and some vegetables, is released slowly into the blood. In children, each additional serving per day of 100% fruit juice was associated with a 0.03 higher body mass index, or BMI, change, according to the study.

That unusual dividend is now unraveling, in a fresh blow to Europe’s already weakened growth outlook. Home to large U.S. technology and pharmaceutical companies that saw their sales boom during the pandemic, tiny Ireland recorded annual growth of 10.5% on average between 2020 and 2022 while other economies contracted under the effect of lockdowns.

Inflation in the U.K. declined in October, but the Bank of England has said it is too soon to think about cutting interest rates. Photo: andy rain/ShutterstockInflation is falling faster than expected across advanced economies, marking a turning point in central banks’ two-year battle against surging prices. Declines in consumer price growth, to below 5% in the U.K. last month and around 3% in the U.S. and eurozone, are fueling expectations that central banks could take their feet off the brakes and pivot to cutting interest rates next year.

Despite cooling inflation, the Bank of England last month said it is too soon to think about cutting interest rates. Photo: daniel leal/Agence France-Presse/Getty ImagesLONDON—The U.K.’s annual rate of inflation fell more sharply than expected in October as household energy prices tumbled, the latest sign that a two-year surge in consumer prices across Europe is running out of steam as the continent’s economy flatlines. News of that decline followed Tuesday’s report of a drop in the U.S. inflation rate and added to investor confidence that the leading central banks are done raising their key interest rates—and are likely to start paring back lending rates in 2024, helping the economy. In the U.S., the inflation rate fell to 3.2% in October from 3.7% in September.

Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky, wears a homemade national debt clock pin on Capitol Hill in January. Photo: Ting Shen/Bloomberg NewsThroughout the Covid-19 pandemic and then Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, both the U.S. and Europe borrowed heavily. Now with those emergencies in the rear-view mirror, a divergence has emerged: Even as the U.S. continues to let deficits rip, Europe’s are on track to narrow significantly. This is in contrast to a decade ago, when deficits in the wake of the global financial crisis pushed some members of the euro area to the brink of default. The lessons of that episode, coupled with eurozone rules, have served to impose discipline on European governments that for now is entirely absent in the U.S.
