Processed diets, which are low in fiber, may initially reduce the incidence of foodborne infectious diseases such as
E. coli infections, but might also increase the incidence of diseases characterized by low-grade chronic infection and inflammation such as diabetes, according to researchers in the Institute for Biomedical Sciences at Georgia State University.
This study used mice to investigate how changing from a grain-based diet to a highly processed, high-fat Western style diet impacts infection with the pathogen

Soul, fresh from winning at the Globes, goes into this award as the favorite. The film has picked up two additional nominations, for best original score and best sound.
Rocks, and
The Father lead this year’s nominations, with two women Chloé Zhao and Sarah Gavron nabbing seven nominations each. Four women total earned nods for directing compared to last year’s all-male directing nominees, and in a reversal from last year’s entirely white acting nominees, 16 of 2021 s 24 nominated actors are from underrepresented groups.
