☆ Health-conscious millennials, Gen Zers are making cottage cheese cool again—but is it really that good for you?
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-30 | by ( Renée Onque | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

That number has since fallen to 1.9 pounds of cottage cheese per person in one year in 2021, USDA data shows. But is cottage cheese— or any cheese for that matter— actually good for you? Compared to other cheeses, including American cheese, cottage cheese is a much healthier option because it's less processed, says Shanahan. "Cottage cheese is healthier than American cheese because it's fermented and has some live bacteria in there [like] yogurt has," she says. "I'm not confident to suggest cottage cheese would be significantly different than other types of cheese," Sun tells CNBC Make It.

▼ + stars: | 2023-04-19 | by ( Sandee Lamotte | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +5 min

CNN —If you have type 2 diabetes, drinking more coffee, tea or plain water may lower your risk of dying prematurely from any cause by about 25%, a new study found. However, drinking more sugar-sweetened beverages raised the risk of heart disease by 25% and the risk of dying from a heart attack or another cardiovascular event by 29%, the study said. Adults with type 2 diabetes who drink more coffee or tea lower their risk of heart disease, a new study said. There was a 26% lower risk of early death associated with drinking coffee, 21% for tea, 23% for plain water and 12% for low-fat milk. When both sugar-sweetened and artificial no-calorie drinks were replaced with coffee, tea, plain water and low-fat milk, there was an even lower risk of heart disease and death from any cause.

The New York State Department of Financial Services said it would start charging cryptocurrency firms registered in the state for the costs of annual supervision and examination. The new rule, adopted Monday and applying to those holding a so-called Bitlicense, aligns the crypto sector more closely with how the agency bills insurance and banking firms in New York for the assessment fees that fund the agency’s operations.

Superintendent Adrienne A. Harris described the events leading to the Signature failure as “a new-fashioned bank run.”The head of the New York State Department of Financial Services said the regulator’s decision to close Signature Bank last month was as a result of problems with the New York bank’s liquidity, not simply because it had banking customers in the cryptocurrency space. Superintendent Adrienne A. Harris, speaking at a crypto industry conference Wednesday, described the events leading up to the Signature failure last month as “a new-fashioned bank run,” in which the bank had a high percentage of uninsured deposits and lacked liquidity management protocols to meet withdrawal requests.
