🔮 “It couldn’t be a Mexican cookbook without a guacamole made with avocados or a quesadilla made with corn masa or carnitas,” says Lastra.
🔮 The rise of nicotine pouches among young non-smokers has been swift, and the medical community and policy experts are concerned about the implications. Public health experts attribute the growth of nicotine pouches to lifestyle marketing reminiscent of the tobacco advertising of the past — now banned in Canada — and social media, where influencers promote nicotine as a wellness hack. “The advertisements seem to appeal to, or are designed to appeal to, younger folk, and I think sometimes they’re portrayed as being an alternative to smoking a cigarette, and they’re implying that it might be safer,” says Dr. Michael Mak, a staff psychiatrist at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health and an associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto.
🔮 A new study is raising questions about the veracity of ingredient claims on chip bags, salad dressings and mayo bottles.
🔮 Her audience may be larger, but Milne says she’s using the same skills.
🔮 This may seem counterintuitive, especially with wildfires recently threatening wine-producing regions elsewhere, including the Okanagan Valley and France’s famed Bordeaux area.
