▼ + stars: | 2024-10-20 | by ( Nicolas Vega | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Brooklyn Peltz Beckham is only 25, but he's already tried his hand at a number of careers. Peltz Beckham, along with co-founders Gabe Pepe and Kai Gayoso, is behind the newly-released Cloud23, an elevated take on hot sauce now available at Whole Foods across the country. In an interview with CNBC Make It, Peltz Beckham said the idea for the company came to him during pandemic lockdowns. After doing research, Peltz Beckham says he found an opening in the hot sauce and condiment market where he could make his mark. What followed was three years of R&D, resulting in a hot sauce bottle that doesn't look quite like anything else on store shelves.

☆ Life discovered in warm volcanic caves beneath the seafloor
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-19 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

CNN —A mile and a half beneath the ocean’s surface, the seafloor seems nearly as alien as the surfaces of other planets. These hydrothermal vents belch warm towers of elements that draw clusters of animal life, such as tube worms. There, animals develop symbiotic relationships with bacteria that use chemical reactions to produce sugars necessary for life beyond the reach of sunlight. Mónika Naranjo-Shepherd/Schmidt Ocean InstitueThe arms of an underwater robot helped uncover communities of giant tube worms and snails living in volcanic caves beneath warm vents in the Pacific Ocean. The finding suggests unique ecosystems on the seafloor and within the subseafloor are connected, allowing life to thrive above and below the ocean bed.

☆ Origins of humanity’s love of carbs revealed, new study suggests
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-18 | by ( Katie Hunt | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

CNN —The origin of modern humans’ long-standing love affair with carbs may predate our existence as a species, according to a new study. The study revealed these genes duplicated long before the advent of agriculture. Without amylase, humans would not be able to digest foods such as potatoes, pasta, rice or bread. The research also revealed duplication of the AMY1 gene existed in the genomes of Neanderthals and Denisovans, an extinct hominin first discovered in 2010 about whom relatively little is known. “This study’s genomic sleuthing is helping to finally time stamp some of those major milestones, and it is revealing tantalizing clues about humanity’s long love affair with starch.”

☆ Your favorite food brands may be done playing mind games with you — for now
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-18 | by ( Elisabeth Buchwald | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

New York CNN —These past few years, it seems like food companies have been playing some serious mind games with us. As food companies have seen their costs rise substantially over the past few years, many have used two sneaky strategies, dubbed shrinkflation and skimpflation, to avoid having to raise the prices of their goods. Yet when companies simply pass along price increases to consumers, there’s also no shortage of backlash — just ask McDonald’s. So the days of shrinkflation, at least when it comes to food, could be numbered. “I would expect (food companies) to shift their strategy and find a different mind game to play that maybe people are not quite looking out for yet,” Hydock said.

☆ Op-ed: The financial toxicity of cancer is growing. Here's what can be done to reduce it
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-18 | by ( Karen Knudsen | American Cancer Society Ceo | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

Cancer drains individuals of their physical, emotional, and financial health. In a study from the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, nearly half of cancer patients and survivors reported being extraordinarily burdened by medical debt. Financial hardship caused by cancer can also contribute to "financial toxicity," wherein the cost of treatment forces individuals to make tradeoffs that impact their chances of survival. Not only does financial toxicity of cancer care affect the individual, it can also negatively impact their employer. Some may not be aware they're eligible for screening, and stigma and fear associated with cancer screening hinders some people from seeking care.

The Summary New research offers insight into the evolutionary history of amylase genes, which are key to our ability to eat and digest starchy food. Amylase genes produce an enzyme in saliva and the gut that’s key to breaking down starches into sugar. New research published Thursday in the journal Science suggests the amylase gene has a much longer evolutionary history than scientists previously thought. Some studies have suggested that populations with higher numbers of amylase copies tend to eat more starch, though more research is needed to explore those theories. … There are things that just exist.”Both recent studies relied on a relatively new technology to analyze genetic material from ancient humans.

Listeria monocytogenes is a type of bacteria that can contaminate food and cause serious complications for certain groups of individuals. Even though cooking the meat kills any listeria that may be present, deli meat can be contaminated afterward during packaging or slicing. Similarly, the ready-to-eat meat products involved in the ongoing BrucePac recall are precooked, although the source of contamination hasn’t yet been determined. Listeria infection early in pregnancy can cause premature labor, a baby with a low birth weight and loss of the pregnancy. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, around 1,600 people are infected and 260 people die from listeria infection in the United States every year.

Actor Simu Liu blasted a pair of Quebec entrepreneurs last week who went on Canada’s version of “Shark Tank” to pitch a drink they say has “transformed” boba tea. Sébastien Fiset and Jess Frenette, founders of a bottled popping boba and alcoholic bubble tea brand called Bobba, were seeking $1 million in exchange for 18% of the company. Their products include cans of alcoholic bubble tea, as well as grab-and-go packets of popping boba. “Dragons, you have probably heard about bubble tea,” Frenette said before Liu quickly interjected with a sarcastic: “I’ve never, has anyone else heard of bubble tea? Not everything has to be traditional.”Fiset responded by saying Bobba’s popping boba makes the drink “not an ethnical product anymore.” Minhas agreed that the popping boba was new, saying she’d never experienced it.
