Alicia Williams+FollowProcessed Foods: Worth the Risk?Just read a wild study claiming ultra-processed foods (think chips, sodas, and packaged snacks) could actually shorten your life. But here’s the twist: not everyone’s buying it. Some experts say it’s better to eat processed food than go hungry, especially with food scarcity being real for many. Still, college students are side-eyeing anything with mystery chemicals. Would you ditch your favorite snacks if it meant living longer? #FoodForThought #ProcessedFoods #HealthDebate #Nutrition #Wellness #Health101Share
lindsay35+FollowUltra-Processed Foods = Higher Death Risk?!Just read that every 10% bump in ultra-processed foods in your diet raises your risk of dying early by 3%! Think: packaged snacks, sugary cereals, deli meats—basically, anything with a long ingredient list. The U.S. tops the charts, with over half our calories coming from this stuff. Researchers say it’s linked to heart disease, diabetes, even depression. Kinda wild how much our food choices matter, right? Time to rethink those grocery runs! #HealthNews #FoodFacts #EatRealFood #Wellness #Nutrition #Health40Share
vincent04+FollowIs Selenium the Secret to Heart Health?Just found out that eating the right amount of selenium might actually lower your risk of heart disease! But here’s the catch: more isn’t always better. The sweet spot seems to be around 135 micrograms a day—go over that, and the benefits drop off (and might even backfire). Wild how a little tweak in your diet could make such a difference for your heart! Anyone else checking their selenium intake now? #HeartHealth #Nutrition #Selenium #Wellness #HealthNews #Health332Share
Valerie Hall+FollowIs Chicken Breast Actually Risky?!Okay, this blew my mind: a new Italian study found that eating just 300g of chicken breast a week (that’s like two big servings) is linked to a 27% higher risk of dying from all causes. Chicken is supposed to be the healthy go-to, right? The researchers say more studies are needed, but maybe it’s time to mix up those protein sources. Anyone else rethinking their meal prep? #HealthNews #ChickenFacts #Wellness #FoodForThought #Nutrition #Food2010Share
Chris Lyons+FollowWait, Is Chicken Actually Bad for You?Just when we thought swapping red meat for chicken was the healthy move, a new study says eating lots of chicken (over 10 oz a week) could up your risk of dying from all causes—especially GI cancers. But don’t panic and toss your chicken Caesar just yet! Experts say it’s more about how much, how it’s cooked, and if it’s processed. TL;DR: Go easy on the nuggets, try baking instead of frying, and maybe add more plant-based meals to your week. #HealthNews #Chicken #Nutrition #Wellness #FoodFacts #Health2420Share
rodriguezbrandon+FollowGrocery Shopping About to Get Easier?Ever get lost in the grocery store trying to figure out what’s actually healthy? The FDA just proposed bold, front-of-package nutrition labels that make it super easy to spot foods high in sugar, salt, or saturated fat. Other countries already do this and it’s helping people make better choices! Some food companies aren’t thrilled, but advocates say clearer labels mean healthier shopping for everyone. Want to weigh in? The FDA wants your feedback before May 2025! #FoodLabels #HealthyChoices #FDA #Nutrition #Wellness #Health72Share
Courtney Williams+FollowFood Labels Might Finally Get RealImagine grabbing a snack and instantly knowing if it’s loaded with sugar, salt, or fat—right on the front of the package. The FDA is considering new rules to make food companies put clear nutrition labels where you can’t miss them. No more hiding behind ‘all natural’ claims! Other countries have done this and it actually helps people pick healthier stuff. The catch? The FDA’s version could be even stronger. Should we push for bolder labels? #FoodLabels #Nutrition #FDA #HealthyChoices #FoodTransparency #Health431Share
