Coca-Cola Plans to Launch Coke With Cane Sugar in US

July 22, 2025 • By Anna Kaplan

Coca-Cola has announced plans to launch a version of its classic soda made with American cane sugar in the US, following a conversation between the company and President Donald Trump. The new offering is set to be released in the fall and will complement the company's existing product range. Health experts note that cane sugar and high-fructose corn syrup have similar health impacts, and that added sugar in any form should be limited. The move comes as consumers increasingly demand "healthier" soda options, with other companies like PepsiCo also introducing new products with alternative sweeteners.

A book stall in central Gaza is keeping literature alive amidst genocide.
A book stall in central Gaza is keeping literature alive amidst genocide.

July 22, 2025 • By James Folta

A small bookstall in the central Gaza Strip, called Eqraa Ketabak (Read Your Book), is promoting reading and community amidst Israel's violence and chaos. Run by brothers Salah and Abdullah Sarsour, who lost their home and are sheltering in a school, the stall has become a hub for conversation and reconnecting with books and literature. Despite the dangers, the brothers continue to stock the stall with books, pooling their money to do so. The stall has become a vital resource in an area where Israel has destroyed many libraries, universities, and schools, and where literacy rates are high, with nearly 98% of people over 15 in the Gaza Strip able to read. The bookstall has been praised by Palestinian writers, who see it as a lifeline and a way to "build ourselves from within."

US’ push for GM crops worrisome
US’ push for GM crops worrisome

July 22, 2025 • By Subramani Ra Mancombu

India and the US are negotiating a trade deal before the US imposes "retaliatory tariffs" on August 1. However, the US is pushing India to open up its market to genetically modified (GM) soybean and corn, which is a contentious issue. The Indian Supreme Court has previously ruled on GM crops, with one judge calling for a national policy on GMOs and a review of the Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee (GEAC). The US move has raised suspicions that it is trying to undermine the Indian judiciary and force India to import GM soybeans to make up for lost market share in China. This could lead to protests and a long litigation process.

Inside the crackdown on a flashy new generation of illicit vapes popular with teens
Inside the crackdown on a flashy new generation of illicit vapes popular with teens

July 22, 2025 • By Laura Romero, Youri Benadjaoud, Mike Levine, Lindsey Griswold, Cameron Krakowiak

US officials are cracking down on a surge of sophisticated illicit vaping products, many of which are designed to attract teenagers and avoid parental detection. These products, often imported from China, feature vaping mechanisms concealed as everyday items like backpacks, smartphone cases, and handheld video game consoles. They allow teens to vape discreetly while evading parents and teachers. Despite a ban on flavored vapes, stores continue to sell cartridges with flavors like "pineapple express" and "killer custard blueberry." Federal authorities have seized millions of dollars' worth of these products, with the domestic value of seizures reaching $60.3 million in the first six months of 2025. The vaping industry is worth billions of dollars, with over 20 million e-cigarettes sold in the US each month. However, experts suggest the illicit vaping industry is even bigger, with an estimated 240 million illegal vaping devices sold in the US in 2024. The products often feature sugary flavors and sleek marketing geared towards young people, making them highly addictive and dangerous to children and young adults. Local law enforcement is cracking down on illicit vapes, and authorities are warning that the rapidly evolving landscape of vaping products makes them a persistent threat to American youth.

Livestock and lions make uneasy neighbours: how a fence upgrade helped protect domestic and wild animals in Tanzania
Livestock and lions make uneasy neighbours: how a fence upgrade helped protect domestic and wild animals in Tanzania

July 22, 2025 • By Jonathan Salerno, Associate Professor, Colorado State University, Colorado State University, Amy Dickman, Professor of Wildlife Conservation, University of Oxford, Kevin Crooks, Professor of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology and Director, Center for Human-Carnivore Coexistence, Colorado State University, Rekha Warrier, Postdoctoral Fellow, Colorado State University, Stewart Breck, Carnivore Ecologist, Colorado State University

Researchers from the University of Oxford and Colorado State University studied the effects of protecting livestock from large carnivores, such as lions, in Tanzania. They found that using fortified enclosures, like chain-link fencing, not only protected the livestock inside but also reduced the risk of predation for nearby livestock. This "beneficial spillover effect" had not been previously documented and suggests that conservation efforts should focus on managing livestock to reduce conflict between humans and wildlife. The study's findings have important implications for human-wildlife conflict mitigation strategies and highlight the need for a more nuanced understanding of complex local dynamics. By protecting livestock, conservationists can promote coexistence between humans, carnivores, and livestock, ultimately benefiting all parties involved.

Use This 2-Minute Hack to Clean Your Microwave With Ease
Use This 2-Minute Hack to Clean Your Microwave With Ease

July 22, 2025 • By Pamela Vachon

Here is a concise summary of the news article: Cleaning the microwave is important for both aesthetic and hygiene reasons, as a dirty microwave can harbor bacteria and affect the appliance's efficiency. Experts recommend using a microwave-safe food cover to prevent splatters and wiping down the microwave immediately after spills. To deep clean the microwave, mix equal parts water and vinegar in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 2 minutes, then let it stand for 2 minutes before wiping down the interior with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, a paste made from baking soda and coconut oil can be applied and left to sit for 15 minutes before wiping off. Finally, a toxin-free disinfectant should be used to keep germs at bay. Regular cleaning, ideally twice a week, can help maintain a clean and hygienic microwave.

Hospital chief says 21 Gazan children died of malnutrition in 3 days

July 22, 2025

The head of Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City reported that 21 children have died in the past 3 days due to malnutrition and starvation. The UN Secretary General warned that the situation in Gaza is dire, with growing reports of malnutrition and starvation. The UN human rights office stated that many people are arriving at hospitals in a state of severe exhaustion due to lack of food, and that these deaths are a result of Israel's interference with humanitarian assistance. Photos have emerged showing children and infants with severe malnutrition, and hospital workers have reported deaths due to the condition. The Gaza Ministry of Health spokesperson said that 600,000 people are suffering from malnutrition symptoms, including 60,000 pregnant women. The situation has worsened since Israel imposed a full blockade on Gaza in March, allowing limited aid to enter. The World Food Program director described the situation as "the worst" he has ever seen. At least 1,054 Palestinians have been killed while trying to get food aid, according to the UN human rights office. The international community has urged an immediate end to the war and the free flow of aid, accusing Israel of "drip feeding" aid and killing civilians, including children.
