Batch of links

- Cassava flour contains high levels of lead and, well, there go those chips I like.

- Is protein powder safe for teens? Not necessarily. And many brands contain too much lead.

- Did you know that Americans tend to eat more sugar as the weather gets hotter?

- Skin injuries could bring on food allergies, which would explain why people with eczema report more allergies.

- Also, good news, food allergies in children have plummeted.

- Lactose intolerance – and food restrictions in general – are linked to nightmares, though it looks like it only affects you if you consume the food that triggers you.

- One cool tip if you are ordering pizza for a kids’ party: get it double cutso that the pieces are smaller. Frankly, even as an adult, I think that would be helpful if you want to taste different flavors of pizza!

- Using ChatGPT isn’t as bad for the environment as we think.

- Two vaccines are associated with a lower risk of dementia (it’s shingles and RSV). This was a big study, and they compared to people getting a flu shot.
