New Research Suggests Many Americans Have a Snacking Problem

New Research Suggests , Many Americans Have a , Snacking Problem.

According to recent research, snacking contributes to an estimated 20% of the average American's daily caloric intake.

.

'Gizmodo' reports that the study was led by scientists from The Ohio State University.

The scientists found that people with type 2 diabetes appear to consume fewer calories from snacks.

According to the study's authors, little work has been done to quantify the snacking patterns of adults with type 2 diabetes.

The authors looked at data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

NHANES is a nationally representative poll of Americans’ dieting and lifestyle habits regularly run by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

According to the data, people reported eating an average of two snacks every day, regardless of their diabetes status.

Those without diabetes consumed an estimated 500 calories from snacks daily, while those with diabetes or prediabetic conditions ate slightly less.

.

'Gizmodo' reports that an average between 19.5% and 22.4% of a person's daily caloric intake came from snacking, equivalent to about a full meal.

Regardless of diabetes status, our study shows that snacks contribute very little nutritional quality to the overall diet and may result in poorer dietary patterns, Study authors, via 'PLOS Global Public Health'.

The team suggests the results show that people with diabetes often make an effort to reduce snacking, meaning they heed the advice of health experts.

Middle-Aged Americans Are Underprepared for Retirement, Study Finds

Middle-Aged Americans Are, Underprepared for Retirement, , Study Finds. 'Newsweek' reports that people in the United States who are approaching retirement age may be critically underprepared when it comes to their savings. According to Prudential Investments, Americans around the age of 55 are facing a "midlife retirement crisis," lacking the funds for a comfortable post-working life. . A recent survey by the major insurance provider found the average retirement savings of a 55-year-old to be $47,950. . This falls significantly short of the recommended goal of having eight times a person's annual income saved by the time they reach 55. . According to the survey, 57% of 55-year-olds said they expected to outlive the funds they have currently managed to save. That's compared to 59% of 65-year-olds and 52% of 75-year-olds. The survey also found that one-third of 55-year-olds and 43% of 65-year-olds have already been forced to postpone retirement due to inflation. Attention today is rightly centered on the approximately 11,000 65-year-olds entering retirement every week, but we must also focus as an industry on the opportunity to help a slightly younger generation of workers entering the critical 10-year countdown to retirement, Caroline Feeney, executive vice president and head of Prudential's U.S. Businesses, via 'Newsweek'. Further, the financial futures of certain cohorts—such as women—are especially precarious, Caroline Feeney, executive vice president and head of Prudential's U.S. Businesses, via 'Newsweek'. The upside is that, with the right planning and strategy to protect their life's work, we can ensure this generation is well-prepared to live not only longer, but better, Caroline Feeney, executive vice president and head of Prudential's U.S. Businesses, via 'Newsweek'

Trump Promises to Stop All Electric Car Sales

Trump Promises to Stop , All Electric Car Sales. In an effort to be reelected as President of the Unites States. Trump is promising oil and gas execs that he'll keep electric vehicles (EVs) from being sold in the U.S. if they make significant donations to his campaign, Gizmodo reports. . Trump said that he'd lower tailpipe emissions targets and cut EV tax credits, among other things. . "You won't be able to sell those cars," Trump said. However, the EV market continues to grow, with at least 1.5 million units expected to sell in 2024. If Trump squashes EV sales in the U.S., it could anger some Republicans since the market has provided more jobs and investments in the South. For example, Hyundai is investing $13 billion in Georgia, a state Trump lost in 2020, to produce electric vehicles. Meanwhile, analysts predict EV sales will continue to rise despite Trump's efforts. Although, his tactics could prove to slow those sales dramatically. . Ford Motor executive chair William Clay Ford Jr. weighed in on Trump's promises. Our time frame as a company, our planning time frame, is a lot longer than election cycles, William Clay Ford Jr., via statement.
