Just One Bowl of Cereal a Day May Raise Risk of DEMENTIA - as Study Links Cognitive Decline to Vitamin Also in Rice and Oatmeal

| 21 February 2024 | Alexa Lardieri
Cereals regarded as healthy may actually raise your risk of dementia — and it's not because of the sugar. A
study published in the journal General Psychiatry found a link between a vitamin in brands such as Cheerios and Shreddies and cognitive decline, which can be a precursor for dementia. Thiamine, or vitamin B1, is also found naturally in whole grains, legumes, liver and salmon, and not getting enough of it has also been linked to health issues. But researchers say for the first time they've discovered a J-shaped curve that indicates consuming too much also has negative consequences.

A team of engineers and atmospheric scientists at Harvard University, working with a colleague from the California Institute of Technology's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, has calculated the increased amount of methane being expelled into the atmosphere due to increases in rice farming in parts of Africa. In their paper published in the journal
Nature Climate Change, the group describes how they recalculated methane emissions due to recent increases in rice production in sub-Saharan Africa, and what they found by doing so. Prior research has shown that methane is the second most important greenhouse gas (behind carbon dioxide)—it has been found to...

Higher rice prices keep inflation simmering in Asia

Nikkei Asia ^
TOKYO -- Inflation continues to simmer in many Asian countries largely due to higher prices of rice and other food items. Increases
in food prices account for 50% to 70% of inflation in the Philippines and India. Prices of rice, a regional staple, have soared due to poor harvests caused by extreme weather. Prices are unlikely to come down soon, as many rice exporters have grown reluctant to sell it abroad, giving priority to domestic demand. Concerns are mounting about a possible recurrence of the food crisis in the late 2000s. Inflation has begun to show signs of slowing down...

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice stated that while President Joe Biden’s move to send a carrier strike group to the Eastern Mediterranean is a good move, it was a mistake to give up military facilities in Afghanistan, and that having bases in
a country that borders Iran would be useful to help isolate them.

international umbrella group was “not reflective of the values of inclusion upheld by Rice Pride.” “Rice Pride’s ultimate goal is to provide a safe space for queer students of all backgrounds, and to recognize the intersectionalities between queer identity and race, ethnicity, and religion,” the statement said.

India’s ban on rice exports raises fear of global food price rises

India has banned non-basmati white rice exports to curb domestic inflation, raising fears of further increases in global food prices just days after wheat and corn prices were sent climbing by Russia’s termination of a key grain deal. The
immediate ban, introduced after heavy rains hit domestic crops, follows the failure of a 20% duty on international exports introduced in September to curb foreign demand, which has soared after extreme climate conditions hit production in countries. India is the world’s largest rice exporter, accounting for more than 40% of global shipments. While the ban does not apply to higher-grade basmati...
