UPFs, which contain additives, have been linked to cancer, diabetes, and depression. Nutritionist Rob Hobson tried to eliminate them from his diet as much as possible last year. Since deciding to cut down on ultra-processed foods a year ago, nutritionist Rob Hobson has developed a more "realistic" view of how they fit into a healthy diet, he told Business Insider. Studies have linked a diet high in UPFs to a higher risk of 32 illnesses, including type two diabetes, cancer, depression, and cardiovascular disease. UPFs tend to be highly marketed, shelf-stable, and hyper-palatable, making them easy to overeat, Hobson previously told Business Insider.

Facing a public relations checkmate, the International Chess Federation surrendered and allowed world champ Magnus Carlsen to wear jeans Monday at the World Blitz Championship in New York City. So while FIDE still has an official dress code, Dvorkovich said it now allows for "elegant minor deviations" such as "appropriate jeans matching the jacket." "Oh, I am definitely playing in jeans tomorrow," Carlsen responded on X after the FIDE statement was released. FIDE found itself playing defense Friday after Carlsen, a five-time world chess champion and seven-time world blitz chess champion, defied the dress code by wearing jeans at the World Rapid Chess Championship, which was also held in New York City. Rather than change out of the jeans he'd been wearing and pay a $200 fine, the Norwegian chess grandmaster refused to play and also withdrew from the World Blitz Championship.

As the nation mourns the loss of Jimmy Carter, who died Sunday at age 100, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders look back on the historic contribution the then-president made to the community. Following a push from several Asian American lawmakers, Carter, the country’s 39th president, signed a proclamation that designated May 4, 1979, as the start of Asian Pacific American Heritage Week. Decades later, the week would be extended, becoming the heritage month now celebrated annually. Daniel Inouye and Spark Matsunaga, both Democrats of Hawaii and fellow Asian Americans, followed suit, introducing sister legislation in the Senate. Mielke underscored that the national recognition from Carter wouldn’t have been possible without decades of work from Asian American and Pacific Islander advocates and legislators themselves, who had long championed the racial group.
