Verdwijnt het dorp Moerdijk? Raadsleden noemden het voorstel van de gemeente ,,een immens offer” en ,,het minst slechte scenario” voor de bewoners. Ze stemden vrijwel unaniem in met het voorstel.

Action is needed now to reduce ultra-processed food (UPF) in diets worldwide because of their threat to health, say international experts in a global review of research. From a report: They say the way we eat is changing - with a move away from fresh, whole foods to cheap, highly-processed meals - which is increasing our risk of a range of chronic diseases, including obesity and depression. Writing in The Lancet, the researchers say governments need "to step up" and introduce warnings and higher taxes on UPF products, to help fund access to more nutritious foods.

[...] This review of evidence on the impact of UPFs on health, carried out by 43 global experts and based on 104 long-term studies, suggests these foods are linked to a greater risk of 12 health conditions. These include type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, depression and dying prematurely from any cause.

A new treatment for tuberculosis could boost cure rates and shorten the time needed to treat the disease by months, trial results suggest. The Guardian: Globally, an estimated 10.7 million people fell ill with TB last year and 1.23 million died from it. In its annual report on tuberculosis, launched last week, the World Health Organization said it remained a "major global public-health problem" and the leading infectious cause of death. [...] Sorfequiline, a new antibiotic, showed stronger action against the deadly bacteria than existing treatments, with a comparable safety profile, researchers from the TB Alliance told the Union Conference on Lung Health in Copenhagen on Wednesday.

The trial involved 309 people across 22 sites in South Africa, the Philippines, Georgia, Tanzania and Uganda, with different dose regimens. All participants had "drug-sensitive" tuberculosis, meaning a standard cocktail of drugs can safely treat them but researchers believe TB infections that are resistant to standard treatment could also be helped. The trial suggested a sorfequiline-based regimen could be used for anyone testing positive, said Dr Maria Beumont, vice-president of TB Alliance.

DEN HAAG (ANP) - JA21 heeft tijdens de verkiezingscampagne duizenden haatberichten verwijderd die volgens Tweede Kamerlid Ingrid Coenradie afkomstig waren uit de PVV-hoek. In het televisieprogramma Pauw & De Wit zei de voormalige PVV-staatssecretaris dat er een "trollenleger" was ingezet.

Coenradie zei dat nadat het ging over dat GroenLinks-PvdA aangifte heeft gedaan tegen PVV-Kamerlid Michael Boon en voormalig Kamerlid Patrick Crijns voor het maken van AI-afbeeldingen van Frans Timmermans. "Dat staat niet op zich, dat is bekend. Wij zagen het ook gebeuren", aldus Coenradie. "Er is enorm veel vanuit de PVV-machine gedaan in die campagnetijd om andere partijen weg te zetten en om afvalligen, zoals ik, weg te zetten."

Het JA21-Kamerlid kon niet zeggen of de haatberichten afkomstig waren van de PVV of van aanhangers van de partij. "Ik heb me niet bedreigd gevoeld, maar ik heb de berichten ook niet gelezen", zei Coenradie. Ze zei wel dat het berichten waren "met de meest afschuwelijke teksten".
