World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Preservative food additives, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases: the NutriNet-Santé study https://academic.oup.com/eurheartj/advance-article/doi/10.1093/eurheartj/ehag308/8679203?login=false
Abstract Background and Aims Experimental studies suggest that some preservative food additives may exert adverse cardiovascular effects, yet human data are lacking. The associations between exposure to these compounds and incidence of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) were investigated in the NutriNet-Santé cohort (France, 2009–2024). ..................................................................................................................................................................... Methods Dietary intakes were assessed using repeated 24-h dietary records (up to 96), including commercial brands. Exposure to food additives was evaluated through multiple composition databases and ad hoc laboratory assays in food matrices. Associations between cumulative time-dependent exposures to preservative food additives during follow-up and outcomes were characterized using multi-adjusted Cox models. ..................................................................................................................................................................... Results Overall, 112 395 participants were included (78.7% women, mean age 42.8 ± 14.7 years) with a median follow- up of 7.9 years. The sum of total preservatives encompassed 58 substances consumed by at least one participant. Total non-antioxidant preservatives were positively associated with higher incidences of hypertension [n = 5544; hazard ratio (HR) higher vs. lower consumers: 1.29, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.20–1.39] and CVD (n = 2450; HR 1.16, 95% CI 1.04–1.29), while total antioxidant preservatives were associated with higher incidence of hypertension (HR 1.22, 95% CI 1.13–1.31). Out of the 17 individual preservative food additives consumed by at least 10% of the study population, eight were associated with higher incidence of hypertension and one with higher incidence of CVD, after multiple test correction. ..................................................................................................................................................................... Conclusions Multiple associations between exposure to preservative food additives widely used in industrial foods and higher incidence of hypertension or CVD were observed in this large prospective cohort. Experimental research is needed to gain insight into underlying mechanisms. If confirmed, these new data call for the re-evaluation of regulations governing the use of these additives to improve consumer protection. .....................................................................................................................................................................
