Spector Warns Against Low-Fat Foods and Products

ZOE's co-founder, Spector, warns consumers to avoid "low-fat" foods due to added sugars, starches, and preservatives that can harm health. He recommends opting for full-fat dairy products like butter, which may have a protective effect on health. Instead of low-calorie products, he suggests choosing extra virgin olive oil, which provides beneficial fatty acids and polyphenols. Spector also advises against "low-fat" yogurts, as they lack heart-healthy benefits and contain added ingredients.

Storm System Brings Tornado Risk to Southern States

A powerful storm system is expected to bring severe weather to southern states including Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama on Saturday, with a "high risk" designation from forecasters indicating numerous significant tornadoes and potentially violent long-track twisters are predicted. The Storm Prediction Center's latest forecast warns of intense thunderstorms producing hurricane-force wind gusts that could inflict widespread damage. This is not the first time the agency has issued a high-risk warning, as seen in previous events such as the 2024 Kansas and Oklahoma tornado outbreak, where dozens of tornadoes caused significant destruction, including a powerful twister through the town of Barnsdall, Oklahoma, and the 2023 Mississippi River Valley tornadoes that resulted in a roof collapse at an Illinois theater killing one person.

The study's lead author, Dr. Brittany Barber, suggests that these findings could open a new avenue in understanding the causes of oral cancer, particularly in non-smoking, non-drinking women.

Sunlight Exposure Lowers Chronic Disease Risk Rates

Vitamin D and sunlight have been found to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, supporting immune health, muscle, and brain function. Exposure to sunlight for just 15-20 minutes can boost the immune system and potentially reduce chronic disease risk. However, warnings about skin cancer risks may have led to decreased exposure. Recent studies suggest that moderate sun exposure may actually decrease all-cause mortality rates, including cancer. Dr. Richard Weller's research found that ultraviolet radiation is a skin carcinogen, yet it does not increase mortality rates.
