The Union Environment Ministry on Saturday rebutted the claims made by activists that statutory regulations were violated during the appraisal and approval of GM mustard in India, saying the product was conditionally cleared only after stakeholder consultation. The Coalition of GM-free India, a group of NGOs opposing genetically modified crops, had on Friday released a report alleging that no (independent) health expert ever participated in GM mustard appraisal.

The conditional environmental release of GM mustard has been granted after stakeholder consultations as prescribed in the Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) guidance documents (Guidelines for the ERA of Genetically Engineered Plants, Risk Analysis Framework, Stakeholder's guide) of 2016. The conditional approval for environmental release is subject to the clearance from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India," it said.

  Antibiotic consumption and resistance is a 'two-way street' between animals and humans For the first time, scientists have demonstrated that globally, the association between antibiotic consumption and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) between human and animals goes both ways. The study highlights the urgent need for an integrated, cross-domain strategy to tackle the spread of AMR, focusing on social development,  poverty reduction  and enforcing tighter rules on the use of antibiotics. Kasim Allel, lead author and Associate Research Fellow in Infectious Disease Epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) said, "AMR is a 'wicked problem' as conflicting priorities exist amongst an intricate web of stakeholders.

A almost two-decade-long study connected premature death in persons with type 2 diabetes and high consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, including fruit punch, soda, and lemonade. Both heart-related causes and other factors were shown to be connected. However, other alcoholic beverages, particularly coffee, tea, low-fat milk, and plain water, assisted in reducing the risk of premature mortality. But other beverages—specifically coffee, tea, low-fat milk and plain water—helped lower the odds of early death. These findings point to the potential role of healthy drinks for folks with type 2 diabetes, the study concluded. "Beverages can be a source of sugar, but also could be an important source of other dietar...

  Sticking with these foods could help with losing weight Certain foods have a reputation for being weight loss all-stars because they satisfy a person's nutritional requirements while keeping them fuller for longer. Connie Diekman, a well-known food and nutrition expert and past president of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, remarked, "You're looking at plant foods." You are considering whole grains, fruits, veggies, beans, nuts, and seeds. While some of these items may be restricted by certain diets or special eating regimens, a healthy diet can include all of them with an eye towards portion control.
