World News@lemmy.world•Ultra-processed foods need tobacco-style warnings, says scientistEnglish
2·2 years agoBut if they are making this direct link between ultra-processed foods and increased mortality, then surely it’s these specific substances that are responsible for it?
Not necessarily. Think about it like cigarettes. The nicotine is what gets you addicted, but it is not what kills you. In a similar vein, these additives might cause you in some way or another to consume an unhealthy diet in the most general sense. So the effect can be more indirect.

World News@lemmy.world•Tel Aviv Pride Parade won’t be held this year, will be replaced with assembly for hostagesEnglish
77·2 years agoTel Aviv is not the only Israeli city…
And I never said that. It is the one with the most liberal international reputation though.
Thinking of the area in a classical rural-city divide doesn’t work anyways, because you don’t have the “lived in my village seen nothing else since 10 generations” families
The rural-city divide is not about people staying in the same place for generations, otherwise the us wouldn’t have one. It’s about progressive and traditional values. And Israel does have geographical differences in that regard.
