A new study has shown some surprising health benefits to replacing sugar with – honey. The research, by a University of Toronto team, found that consuming raw honey may improve blood sugar control and lower cholesterol levels when taken within the context of a healthy diet. The results are surprising, said senior researcher Tauseef Khan, “because honey is about 80% sugar.” He cautions that his team isn’t suggesting you start adding honey to your food if you currently avoid sugar, but, “If you’re using table sugar, syrup or another sweetener, switching those sugars for honey might lower cardio-metabolic risks.”

Reclining
airplane seats are on the decline. A CNN report points out that while
at one point, all airline seats, even in economy class, had built-in
recline. Today, there are entire seat models that simply don’t have
the option. Why? 3 main reasons: The mechanism that allows a seat to
lean back is a significant cost – to purchase, and for maintenance.
Secondly, there is a weight cost. And any weight that can be saved
means reducing the fuel needed to carry it. And thirdly — and in
some ways most importantly – there is a disruption cost, because if
passengers are fighting with each other over seat reclining
etiquette, then flight attendants have to play “schoolyard
monitor”. And sometimes, passengers got so disruptive that flights
must be diverted for safety.

In the clip, which is all over social media, the “Avatar: The Way of Water” star sat down for a chat with a young lady who admitted she was anxious, saying: “It’s my first time.” Winslet leans forward and says: “OK, well, guess what. When we do this interview, it’s going to be the most amazing interview ever. And do you know why? Because we’ve decided that it is going to be.” The interviewer nervously laughs, and Winslett continues, saying: “You can ask me anything that you want and you don’t have to be scared, everything is going to be amazing.” After the young journalist agrees, The “Titanic” star reassures her again, saying: “You got this.

“Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies” will debut on Paramount+ on April 6 in the US and Canada (April 7 in the UK, Australia and several other countries). In the teaser trailer for the series, which stars Marisa Davila, Cheyenne Isabel Wells, Tricia Fukuhara and Ari Notartomas, which dropped on Monday, we see the girls being advised by Jackie Hoffman’s assistant principal, “Be careful with whom you associate. A lady’s reputation is all she has.” But the Pink Ladies decide, “Sometimes, you gotta be bad to do good,” and declare: “Things are about to get wild.” The series is set in 1954, 4 years before the events of the 1978 film.

A company is selling a phone-shaped slab of acrylic to help people beat smartphone addiction. Japanese company eKod Works has introduced the “AcryPhone”, a rudimentary device designed to mimic the look and feel of a smartphone. It has no screen, no speakers, not even a tiny LED. It designed to fit in the palm of your hand, so you can wean yourself off actual smartphones more easily. And how much for this chunk of…nothing? There are 2 variants: The simple slab of acrylic is priced at about US$25, and a slightly more realistic-looking version costs $26.50. It comes with a screen protection plastic film…even though the thing doesn’t actually have a screen.
