The US Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Services released new dietary guidelines on Tuesday. The guidelines are updated every five years and govern what's served in federal nutrition programs. UPI reports the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee recommend that Americans reduce salt and saturated fat levels in their diet. What's more, the panel suggested the government revise its definition of 'moderate drinking' for me from two drinks per day down to one. As for sugar consumption, the panel continues to advise people to not consume more than 10 percent of their calories from added sugars.
Russia is in an uproar after a health official said people shouldn't drink alcohol two weeks before and six weeks after getting the COVID-19 vaccine. According to Business Insider, there's no evidence that alcohol consumption is linked to Sputnik V's vaccine efficacy--or any other vaccine's efficacy. However, booze has been found to weaken the immune system. There is a waiting period of 21 days between the first and second Sputnik V shots. Having a strong immune system is especially important during a pandemic, so it may be wise to cut back on alcohol for that reason. The Russians have yet to release their complete, peer-reviewed data from phase 1 and 2 trials of Sputnik V, creating an air of secrecy around the vaccine.
It is the most extreme crash test ever executed by Volvo Cars, and a crucial one. Extrication specialists often use cars crashed at the Volvo Cars Safety Centre to hone their life-saving skills. To allow rescue services to prepare for any possible crash scenario and to simulate the forces that erupt in the most extreme crashes, beyond what can be simulated with ordinary crash testing, Volvo Cars recently took equally extreme measures. For the first time, it dropped several new Volvos multiple times from a crane, from a height of 30 metres. This approach helped create enough damage to adequately simulate the damage found in the most extreme crash scenarios: think of single-car accidents at very high speed, accidents whereby a car hits a truck at high speed, or accidents whereby a car takes a severe hit from the side.
In the United States, it's generally understood that college kids like to party. And according to UPI, a new study in JAMA Pediatrics says nearly a third of all college students smoke cannabis. 62%--roughly twice as many--drink alcohol. However, the number of students who say they neither drink alcohol nor smoke weed has increased from just under 20% in the early 2000s to 28% today. What's more, the percentage of students who have an alcohol use disorder also has declined to 10% over the same period from just under 20%.
