Front-of-pack warning labels on food products were introduced in Mexico in 2020. Overall sales volume remained stable, but calories, added #sugar, saturated fat, and #salt in packaged food & beverages were reduced—likely due to product reformulations: doi.org/10.1016/j.so... #Nutrition #Labeling

Consumers who want to avoid animal-based ingredients may struggle to identify their presence in current food products. Requiring clearer labeling could improve transparency and help reduce consumer confusion.

Iran Girls School Strike: Growing Evidence For U.S. Responsibility For Blast Video footage published by Bellingcat appears to show a Tomahawk missile striking a compound adjacent to the school.

⚠️ #Iranian media released photos of the purported missile #fragments.

According to the Times, the images appeared to show missile fragments—which Iranian state media claimed were recovered from the school—with “serial numbers and other details” that match the #labeling style used by the #Pentagon.

Rob McConnell Interviews - DR. JANET STARR HULL - The Dangers of Aspartame Janet Starr Hull is a nutrition researcher and author known for her work discussing the potential health risks associated with the artificial sweetener aspartame. In her writings, Dr. Hull examines consumer reports, toxicology debates, and regulatory discussions surrounding artificial sweeteners, arguing that some individuals may experience adverse reactions. Her work contributed to public conversation about food additives, labeling transparency, and consumer health awareness, while noting that major health authorities continue to regard approved levels of aspartame as safe for the general population. Her research highlights the broader debate between precautionary health advocacy and regulatory scientific consensus.

Food products sometimes carry both #nutrition & health claims and warning symbols (e.g. for high saturated fats, sugars or sodium). To avoid inconsistent messaging, #labeling regulations should restrict nutrition & #health claims on products that require warning symbols: doi.org/10.1017/S136...

Longer Meditation - Calm Your Busy Mind This bonus episode (the first in a 5-part series) is brought to you after receiving multiple listener requests for slightly longer meditation episodes. This one is designed to help you declutter your mind, calm mental noise, and return to the present moment. Instead of trying to “stop thinking,” this practice uses a simple technique called thought labeling — gently naming thoughts (like planning, worrying, judging) and then returning to your breaths. Over time, this helps create space between you and your thoughts, making it easier to feel grounded, clear, and steady. We’ll practice: - Breath awareness to anchor your attention - A simple, traditional mindfulness technique: label + return - Letting thoughts pass without getting pulled into them - Building calm focus and clarity, one breath at a time Best time to listen: - When you’re overthinking or mentally overloaded - During a midday reset - Before work or studying - Anytime you want calm clarity without heavy visualization Thank you for listening to Affirmations and Micro-Meditations 💛 If this practice helped you, consider saving it so you can return to it whenever your mind feels busy.  ⚠️ Please do not listen while driving or operating machinery. Music Credits: A Quiet Winter Dawn – Chaxti; Revitalize – Yonder Dale; Closed Eyes Speak – Calm Shores (sourced via http://www.EpidemicSound.com)
