A global study has found a strong link between the consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and a rise in preventable premature deaths. These ready-to-eat or heat meals—often high in sodium, trans fats, and sugar—have previously been associated with over 30 health conditions, including heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer, and depression. The research, published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, examined dietary and mortality data from eight countries: [...]

When researchers carve into rocks, there aren't often surprises. But far beneath the Brazil limestone beds, scientists discovered an ant fossil like no other. It's not only old—it's older than the oldest ant known. The 113-million-year-old fossil was unearthed in the Crato Formation in northeast Brazil. The area is already renowned for its superior fossil preservation. However, this is the first time a hell ant—part of the long-extinct Haidomyrmecinae group—has [...]

New Delhi: Do you regularly eat ready-to-eat-or-heat foods? Beware, a global study on Monday showed that the consumption of such ultra-processed foods (UPFs) can significantly increase the risk of preventable premature deaths. Previous studies have linked UPFs -- rich in sodium, trans fats, and sugar -- with 32 different diseases including cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, some types of cancer, and depression. The new study analysed data from nationally representative dietary [...]

New Delhi, Apr 28: A groundbreaking global study has unveiled a disturbing link between the consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and a significant rise in preventable premature deaths. The research, published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, highlights the dangers posed by ready-to-eat or heat foods, which are typically high in sodium, trans fats, and sugar, and are increasingly being linked to a variety of chronic health conditions. Conducted across eight [...]

In a fascinating new discovery, scientists have unearthed the fossil of the oldest known ant, which lived alongside dinosaurs about 113 million years ago. Dubbed the " hell ant," this ancient creature had a unique way of hunting its prey. Anderson Lepeco, a researcher at the Museum of Zoology at the University of São Paulo, said he encountered the "extraordinary" specimen in September 2024. According to a CNN report, the museum houses one of the world's largest [...]

A recent international study reveals a concerning link between ultra-processed foods and premature death. Consuming more bread, cakes, and cookies increases the risk of dying before 75 by 3% for every 10% increase in intake. The danger lies not only in salt, sugar, and fat but also in additives and artificial ingredients. Ultra-processed foods could be causing greater damage than we realise - cutting our lives short bit by bit. A new international study, including data from the US and [...]
