Very creative. 🙂 At an Italian restaurant I would have guessed that the chef would have simply brought out pasta or pizza w/ tomato sauce + vegetables.

It reminds me of her ME! video (from Lover). Had to go re-watch that one!🙂

I got into Taylor in 2010 when she was here promoting Speak Now, which, like its predecessor Fearless, I consider to be a pop album. Only her debut sounds like country to me. 🙂

CANCELLED seems like filler and if the album is only gonna be 40 min then there can't be any filler, IMHO. Love the Ophelia video!

This is her worst-reviewed album. Also her shortest. While there are bright spots, I wish she had shifted some of the time/effort from the promo pics to crafting songs that are up to the standards of previous albums. Had potential but feels like she rushed it, IMHO. Love some parts of it though. 🙂

Looks great! Who needs all that vegan cheese? 🙂

Association between legume consumption and risk of esophageal cancer among Chinese adults: a 17-year prospective cohort study - Cancer Causes & Control
Purpose Epidemiological studies have reported the influence of legume consumption on multiple cancers risk, but the association in esophageal cancer (EC) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigated the prospective associations between legume consumption and EC risk, especially among Chinese populations. Methods We conducted a prospective cohort study with 15,184 participants aged 40 to 69 years from two high-risk areas of EC in China between 2005 and 2009, with follow-up until 2022. A validated questionnaire was used to collect the consumption frequency of major food groups at baseline and subsequent resurveys, including legume. The Cox proportional hazard regression was used to evaluate the multivariable hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association of legume consumption and EC risk. To quantify the linear association of legume consumption and EC risk and to account for regression dilution bias, the mean usual consumption amount for each baseline group was estimated by combining the consumption level at both baseline and the second resurvey. Results The final study sample included 15,184 participants in the cohort (mean [SD] baseline age, 51.8 [7.5] years). During a follow-up of 219,365 person-years, a total of 176 new EC cases were identified. Legume consumption was inversely associated with EC risk, with a 63% reduction in risk for participants who consumed legume regularly compared with nonconsumption (HR: 0.37; 95% CI 0.16, 0.84; p for trend = 0.022). After correction for regression dilution bias, each 10 g/day increased legume consumption was associated with a HR of 0.35 (0.13, 0.96) for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) risk. The associations were consistent across most subgroups and sensitivity analyses. Conclusion Higher frequency of legume consumption was associated with lower risk of EC among Chinese adults, particularly ESCC. Our findings suggest legume consumption may play an important role in preventing the development of EC.

What about Elizabeth Taylor?🙂 I LOVE that one and the O songs are my numbers 2 and 3. I still think it's her weakest album though, below Midnights which all of a sudden I'm starting to appreciate. 🙂
peasorpills.bsky.social
Ophelia is one of the better songs. This album is making me re-evaluate my criticism of Midnights, which up until now I thought was her weakest album. Not anymore. I do *LOVE* Elizabeth Taylor though!!
peasorpills.bsky.social
This is the best song by far, IMHO. Not happy with the rest of the album. Agree with much of The Guardian review. For now I'll stick with TTPD. 🙂 @sarakriv.bsky.social

Hard disagree! The Guardian had a more accurate review of the album, stating that it is "nowhere near as good as it should be given Swift’s talents."

Dietary carotenoids and breast cancer risk: evidence from a large population-based incident case-control study - Nutrition & Metabolism
Background Although mechanistic studies suggest protective roles for carotenoids against breast cancer (BC), human studies yield inconsistent findings. Few have comprehensively evaluated dietary intake of individual and grouped carotenoids in relation to BC risk. Methods This population-based case-control study recruited 600 patients with newly diagnosed BC and 600 healthy controls. Dietary carotenoid intake was assessed using a validated 168-item food frequency questionnaire. The intake levels of α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lutein/zeaxanthin, lycopene, astaxanthin, phytoene, phytofluene, neoxanthin, violaxanthin, and total carotenoids were categorized into quartiles. Logistic regression models were employed to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for BC risk, controlling for potential confounders. Results Higher intake of lycopene, phytoene, phytofluene, total non-provitamin A and provitamin A, β-carotene, lutein/zeaxanthin, as well as total carotenoids was significantly associated with reduced BC risk Lycopene showed the strongest inverse association (Q4 vs. Q1: OR = 0.23; 95% CI: 0.14–0.37). Total provitamin A (Q4 OR = 0.46; 95% CI: 0.29–0.75) and total non-provitamin A carotenoids (Q4 OR = 0.25; 95% CI: 0.15–0.41) also showed strong protective associations. Total carotenoid (Q4 OR = 0.34, 95% CI: 0.20–0.56, p < 0.001) intake also showed inverse associations across all quartiles. Conversely, α-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, astaxanthin, neoxanthin, and violaxanthin displayed weaker or inconsistent associations. Conclusion These findings support an inverse association between dietary intake of specific carotenoids, particularly lycopene, lutein/zeaxanthin, and colorless carotenoids (phytoene and phytofluene) and BC risk. Promoting a carotenoid-rich diet may represent a feasible strategy for BC prevention.

Planetary health diet, other plant-based diets and risk of type 2 diabetes: a prospective study from the UK Biobank - Cardiovascular Diabetology
Background Type 2 diabetes remains a major global health concern, and plant-based diets (PBD) offer substantial preventive value. The Planetary Health Diet Index (PHDI) captures adherence to an environmentally sustainable PBD with potential metabolic benefits. However, evidence on its association with type 2 diabetes risk remains limited, notably in comparison with other preexisting PBD. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between adherence to the PHDI and type 2 diabetes risk in a large British adult cohort and compare it to other well-known PBDs. Methods This analysis included 112,032 participants aged 40–69 years from the UK Biobank who were free of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease at baseline (2009–2012) and were followed until 2021. Dietary intake was assessed using at least two 24-h dietary recalls, and PHDI scores (range: 0–130) were computed based on adherence to 14 food groups recommendations. The other PBDs (alternate Mediterranean Diet score (aMED), healthful plant-based index (hPBD), Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension (DASH), and Alternate Healthy Eating Index (AHEI-2010)), were estimated using established methodologies. Incident type 2 diabetes was ascertained through clinical records, hospital admissions, and self-reporting. Cox proportional-hazards regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), adjusting for key confounders. Results During a median 9.4-year follow-up, 2666 cases of type 2 diabetes were identified. When comparing participants in the highest versus the lowest quartile of PHDI adherence, the multivariable-adjusted HR (95% CI) for type 2 diabetes was 0.57 (0.50, 0.64), which was more pronounced than that observed for the aMED: 0.70 (0.62, 0.78) and hPDI: 0.64 (0.57, 0.72) and similar to DASH: 0.58 (0.51, 0.65); AHEI-2010: 0.59 (0.53, 0.67). Further adjustment for BMI led to a 13–19% attenuation of the association. High consumption of vegetables and fish, and limited intake of red/processed meats and added sugars were associated with reduced type 2 diabetes risk. Conclusions In this large cohort of British adults, higher adherence to the PHDI was associated with a substantially lower risk of type 2 diabetes, with effect sizes comparable to or greater than those observed for other well-known PBDs. These findings support the promotion of the PHDI and PBDs as an environmentally sustainable choice with potential to reduce type 2 diabetes risk. Graphical abstract
