If you’re the type who just CAN’T put down that bag of potato chips until it’s gone, you’re not alone. Not only that, science is now telling us the problem isn’t you, it’s the junk food. In fact, after a series of studies, a University of Michigan professor says that ultra-processed foods, or UPFs, are just as addictive as nicotine, cocaine or heroin — and more than 1 in 10 of us are hooked. Prof. Ashley Gearhardt, who created the Yale Food Addiction Scale by applying the same criteria that experts use to diagnose substance addiction, says her analysis of 281 studies across 36 countries found that a staggering 14% of adults are hooked on UPFs. Examples of ultra-processed foods include sausage, ice cream, soft drinks, and sugary cereals. Even worse, eating these foods has been linked to cognitive decline, cancer, psychological distress and even early death. Why do we become addicted to junk food? Eating ultra-processed foods triggers a rush of dopamine followed by a sudden drop-off, resulting in an endless cycle of craving, getting a fix and crashing — similar to that of someone who is addicted to alcohol or drugs.

There’s
one bathroom item that’s even dirtier than your toilet – and
you’ll never guess what it is. Experts are telling us we should be
washing our bathmats every week or two. Rikki Fothergill, a cleaning
expert from the e-commerce company Big Bathroom Shop, said: “A
survey found a third admitted to washing their mats just two times a
year”. And a study found that the bathmat has even more bacteria
than a toilet seat. Frequent washing is especially important as we
approach winter, in order to maintain a mold-free bathroom
environment.

Pete Davidson is perfecting his Kenan Thompson impression, just in time for his “Saturday Night Live” homecoming. After being shut down by the Hollywood writers’ strike in May, the sketch show is returning for season 49, with Davidson hosting the season premiere October 14th. Taking his job very seriously in a new promo video, Davidson munches on chips and announces his return to SNL cast members Bowen Yang and Chloe Fineman. And most importantly, he tries out his Kenan impression by mimicking one of the comedian’s famously meme-able facial expressions. After striking a pose, he tells Yang and Fineman, “That was my Kenan face.” LINK: https://youtu.be/Ekia3_AOmGY
Ken Jeong is looking to get into daytime. “The Masked Singer” judge is developing a talk show, with a projected 2024 launch. He recorded a test show in New York on Friday. The show is being developed and produced under the SAG Network Code, which allows actors and hosts to work on certain projects, including daytime talk shows during the actors strikes. Jim Biederman, who produced “The Kids in the Hall”, is serving as showrunner, writer and director, and is exec producing alongside Jeong.
The Swifties have taken over the box office — as expected. “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” earned $39 million on its opening day Friday, just shy of the $39.3 million October opening day record set by “Joker” in 2019. With that kind of start, Swift’s concert film has a chance to beat the October opening weekend record also held by “Joker” at $96.2 million. Some industry estimates have the film netting an opening weekend of about $103 million once all the numbers are in. 82% of Friday’s audience were women, and 63% in the 18-34 age group.

Chemical engineers are pioneering a process to equip ships with the onboard capacity to turn collected plastic garbage into fuel. The result has been named “blue diesel” and would save time, money, and emissions in both the trips necessary for ocean-cleaning vessels to reach the mainland to offload, and in running fuel use. As you may know, millions of tons of plastic enter oceans every year and accumulate where several currents meet. Scientists at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts say they have come up with “a specialized reactor that converts harvested waste plastic using an innovative chemical process…This compresses the plastic at high temperature and high pressure into “blue diesel”.

A teed-off tenant refused to be reeled in after her slippery landlord attempted to hook her into a $250 “pet fee” – for owning a goldfish. In North Carolina leaseholder Avianna Brown’s trending TikTok, she says: “Tell me why my apartment complex tried to charge me $250 for a fish as a pet fee?” (We deleted a swear word in there.) In her eye-popping post, the mother of one shared screenshots of messages from her complex’s leasing office, insisting she fill out a “pet application” and submit a $250 money order for her scaley swimmer. At first, she ignored that, but when the landlord issued Brown a “past due” notice for October’s rent, because of her refusal to cough up the extra $250, she posted her conundrum online. One commenter suggested she “Tell them your fish is your emotional support animal”, because then they would have to “allow it with no fee”. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/2s2fykdm

THE BENEFITS OF A COLD SHOWER:
Literal cold showers are effective at relieving many symptoms and are said by some health care professionals to provide an improved sense of well-being. Here are some of the benefits…
☞ Increases endorphins: Taking a cold shower for up to 5 minutes, 2 to 3 times per week, was shown to help relieve symptoms of depression. The cold water sends electrical impulses to your brain, jolting your system to increase alertness, clarity, and energy levels. Endorphins, or “happy hormones”, are also released.
☞ Improves metabolism: White fat is bad, but brown fat plays an important role in adult health. Healthy levels of brown fat also indicate that white fat will be at a healthy level. And brown fat is activated by exposure to cold temperature. This can result in increased metabolism and possible weight loss.
☞ Improved circulation: Regular cold showers can make the circulatory system more efficient. Some people also report that their skin looks better as a result of cold showers, probably thanks to better circulation. And data shows that cold water can promote healing after a sports injury, too, similar to the way ice can reduce inflammation.
☞ Helps fight off common illnesses: Our bodies are designed to become resistant to the elements we are exposed to. Leukocytes help fight infection in the body. The shock of cold water in the bloodstream stimulates leukocytes. This means that taking cold showers can help your resistance to common illnesses, like colds and the flu. And one study indicated that cold showers make the body more resistant to certain types of cancer.
