Not All Ultra-Processed Foods Are Bad, Say Experts

New studies reveal that not all ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are harmful—some may actually help lower the risk of type 2 diabetes. Research involving over 500,000 people found that items like whole-grain breads, cereals, plant-based snacks, and dairy-based desserts can contain fibre and nutrients that support metabolic health. However, experts caution that overall high consumption of UPFs still increases diabetes risk, especially with items like sugary drinks, sauces, and ready meals. Health professionals recommend a balanced approach, focusing on the nutritional quality of foods rather than just their level of processing.

Doctor Reveals Key Shampoo Ingredients to Stop Dandruff

A doctor has warned that dandruff may worsen if your shampoo doesn’t contain key anti-fungal and exfoliating ingredients. Dr. Simi Adedeji explains that dandruff is caused by an overgrowth of Malassezia yeast on the scalp, and to manage it effectively, shampoos should include ingredients like Ketoconazole, Selenium Sulfide, Coal Tar, or Salicylic Acid. These components help reduce yeast, soothe inflammation, and remove flakes. If symptoms persist after a month of using such shampoos, Canadians are advised to consult a GP to rule out other skin conditions.
