Consumption of ultra-processed and fast foods leading cause of diabetes in India, reveals new study
The study found that low-AGE diets exhibited improvement in the insulin-sensitivity and reduction in the inflammatory levels compared to high-AGE diets. “The study for the first time in India revealed that low AGE diets could be a potential strategy to reduce diabetes risk,’’ it said. This current study has shown that consumption of AGE-rich foods leads to inflammation in the body, an underlying cause of diabetes. The high-AGE foods included those prepared by roasting, deep-frying, and shallow-frying, while the low-AGE foods included those cooked by boiling and steaming, in a short span of time. At the end of 12 weeks, the researchers found that insulin sensitivity was significantly increased in the low-AGE diet group, compared to the high-AGE diet group.

Hezbollah deputy chief says supports Lebanon efforts for ceasefire
Prime Minister Najib Mikati and Berri, a powerful Shiite ally of Hezbollah, have for days been striving for an immediate truce between Israel and Tehran-backed Hezbollah, independent of Gaza truce efforts. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Friday, however, that Tehran backed efforts for a "simultaneous" ceasefire in both Lebanon and the Palestinian territory. Qassem, who has taken over until a new Hezbollah leader is announced, said the group's military capacities and leadership were still strong despite the heavy Israeli bombardment. "The party's leadership and the resistance (Hezbollah) are meticulously organised... We have overcome painful blows," he said. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli officials have stressed the need to secure the north near the border with Lebanon so uprooted residents can return home.

Congress National Conference Alliance Claims Victory
Congress National Conference Alliance Claims Victory Initial trends show significant wins for the Congress-NC alliance as BJP struggles to retain its footholdJammu and Kashmir recently witnessed its first assembly elections since 2014, marking a significant moment for the region following the revocation of its special status under Article 370. Initial results indicate the Congress-National Conference (NC) alliance is leading the charge, with projections showing they could fetch upwards of 52 seats out of the 90-member assembly. The National Conference, driven by leaders like Omar Abdullah, significantly outperformed expectations, winning key seats such as Hazratbal, Gurez, and Zadibal. The BJP's focus on retaining its foothold primarily centered around Jammu, where results showed them leading on several seats. Despite this, they struggled to make any substantial impact in the valley, where the NC and Congress have shown stronger voter appeal.

Musk’s PAC Offers U.S. Voters $47 for Signing Free Speech Petition
Musk is offering US voters $47 through his Political Action Committee (PAC) in return for signing a petition calling for reforms to free speech. The petition focuses on important topics related to free speech with the goal of obtaining enough signatures to have a major influence on politics. Cash for Signatures:This effort was started by Elon Musk’s political action committee, also referred to as “The Musk Foundation PAC,” to get voters to sign a free speech petition that reflects many of Musk’s worries regarding censorship, especially on social media. Even on matters as important as free speech reform, political scholars have expressed doubts about the ethical implications of paying voters to promote particular legislative objectives. A Broader Push for Free Speech Reform:Musk has always advocated for reforming free speech, but this petition is a more explicit attempt to influence policy.
