Take our quiz, 21 November). Yes, eating UPFs made from animal products (like chicken nuggets and cheese in a squeeze bottle) can increase the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and certain cancers, but UPFs from plants (like cereal, canned beans and even veggie burgers) can actually help keep you healthy.More and more leading health organisations agree that a more nuanced approach to UPFs is necessary. The American Medical Association recently passed a resolution that "supports and promotes public awareness and education about the differences between healthful foods and unhealthful ultra-processed foods. The American Heart Association also recently released a…...

While Florida technically has a process for expunging eligible records after a predetermined amount of time, the time and money it takes prohibit those who need it most from accessing it. Thirteen states and…...

Head coach Arne Slot dropped the 33-year-old to the bench for a Premier League game for the first time since April 2024 - also at West Ham - with that decision taken by the Dutchman's predecessor Jurgen Klopp. That was a day which ended with Salah firmly in the headlines. First when he was involved in a touchline spat with Klopp as West Ham scored when he waited to come on as substitute in a 2-2 draw, and then when the notoriously reticent forward strode past reporters afterwards and announced: "If I…...
