Cheap wearable pumps

Has anyone used the cheap completely wearable breast pumps? I'm talking like the super cheap ones, not just the "more affordable" ones. I already have a nice expensive pump, and just want a wearable one for convenience so don't want to spend a lot. I've been looking at something like the pic, just wondering if anyone has had any luck with ones this cheap or if they're just junk. (Specific links or brands welcome if you have tried!)

2023.08.03 21:43 inthearmsofdyl Taking too long to get on the bus

The first two dreams I had were so weird. The first was christmas and I had just got done watching the leprechaun movie. The image-icon of his face on the TV creeped me out so bad, and I had to get to sleep. I remember seeing shadow people; a large hand at one point. My Niece came over and started opening the presents my mom got her. Both cards got open. My Dad was out back with a friend or two, not even caring that it was christmas eve either. My Mom came downstairs a few times too. There was a masculine energy lingering in the air. I can barely remember what happened. Someone predatory was around. All I wanted was to sleep.
Inbetween, I had the misfortune of graphically seeing Corey Feldman have sex with someone that wasn't his wife; (one of his angels). Wondering why it was even happening because it seems that they aren't polygamous anymore. She was wearing a dark green lingerie bodysuit, very basic and minimalist. He had his pants down as she was riding him, clothes all still attached. He fastened his pants as I walked by, seemingly having the sneakiest sex ever. The edges and frames of the doors had graffiti scribbled on it, neatly and small. Reminded me of Kurt Cobain's teenage bedroom.
Next, I was in a classroom. Two different ones. In the first I was up against the wall, laying on the floor in a short skirt. There were adult classmates there. A woman kept eyeing my lower half while I was laying there. I cautiously got up, bending my legs that were in brown leather heeled boots. My skirt was red. The teacher was a black man, possibly instructing a interpret demonstration. Even here, I could sense I was too old to be in a classroom. Then that led into the next sequence. I was then sitting at a younger table for tweens. There was a poll we had to fill out, the first question was about sexuality. I mentioned to the nerdy girl that handed me the board with paper, what if I'm aesexual? Her response was unreadable. She could've been annoyed.
I exited that table, not being very comfortable around the girls. The whole place felt like the show cobra kai. Riverdale was brought up from the teacher, to another because the other compared the class to those characters. 'We actually stopped watching it..' Our teacher replied. They couldn't keep up or get the cable network. Guess the school couldn't pay for it. There was a weird boy in the class that was very similar to Gibby on Icarly. The girls were telling me to look at him/compare him to some character on tv show while laughing. Literally within seconds, a old train passes beside the windows; not being able to stop. This was somewhat normal here, in this part of the country. America didn't care who'd live or die. That if the train would crash, they'd let it. Even if people will die. I thought it was extremely fucked, thinking about the people on it and mentally swearing that I will never ride a train. Especially if it's a historical one.
We needed to get ready for a field trip. The vibes from all these dreams seemed to linger in my mind/dream-body as I was getting ready. I was taking way too long! I felt like my body was moving at a very slow pace. (I've been struggling with nerve damage lately). I was very weak. I must've been looking for something to wear because I was naked underneath my clothes. I had a thin robe on, still barely covered by whatever else I had and was holding in my hand. A boy looked over at me, eyeing my naked breasts that were exposed. I was in a completely different room. Not a classroom, but a break-room/kitchen. My Mom was now standing there. Before this, (maybe in mentally in my mind) I was in the casting room with Billy Crystal and Mary Biggs for Monsters Inc. I heard her voice so clearly.] I was also looking desperately for some water to take with me, seeing a glimpse of a wendys drinking cup. It was green and yellow colored. Digging through the clothes on the floor and grabbing some water bottles, I tried to fill up two cups with ice and the bottled water.
My Mom is ushering me to get to the bus. 'I found her, she is a hour away from me!' She called out, strangely. Or, 'She's five miles away' She realized I was still inside the school.
Increasingly annoyed as I am struggling to move. Still haven't dressed myself. I am very blessed to that school bus driver waiting on me. Even in reality here, I am still grateful. Thank you, whoever you are. My Mom would just leave without me unapologetically without even asking me anything. She does it on the regular during summertime. I found my pair of blue joggers with rainbow stripes down the pant legs. 'No.' She said. My local school district has a uniform policy. 'Look, they don't even look like regular pants. See, once they're on they'll look just like dress pants.' The boy watched too. On the way out with her, rushing to get to the bus, I lost both my bottled and cupped water. I had filled a big cup up with ice from the public refrigerator. Looking out the windows, there were still multiple school buses outside, waiting for students possibly. Or maybe already PACKED, because they were waiting for me actually.. lol. Now that I realize it, here.
Outside on the lawn were lunchtables, one having another wendys drinking cup on it. A group of korean middle school girls were outside on one of them, laughing. They made fun of how poor me and my mom are. Her voice was VIVID. I was probably in REM/starting to wake up. 'They look like the type of family to have only one car door working..' She remarked. I grabbed her by the face and tried punching it. Her goofy expression stared back at me. The scenery changed to my house, on my sofa, where I was sleeping. 'Fucking bitch..' I said, grabbing the back of her head and feeling almost nothing there. It was weird. It felt robotic, like there was a flat metal plate there. Her whole face was very thin/flat too. I struggled to punch her, unable to have a forceful grip on her head because of it's conditions.
I punched her so hard that it woke me right up. Right into the exact same place I was just at.

2022.08.10 20:17 autobuzzfeedbot 22 Shocking, Surprising, And Heartbreaking Things I Learned From "I'm Glad My Mom Died," Jennette McCurdy's New Memoir

  1. Jennette's mother Debra was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer when Jennette was only two years old. Although Jennette said she was too young to remember most of the details about her mother's illness, her mother would bring it up at any chance she got. "Even though the facts of it are so sad, I can tell that the story itself gives Mom a deep sense of pride. Of purpose," she wrote. "Like she, Debra McCurdy, was put on this earth to be a cancer survivor and live to tell the tale to any and everyone… at least five to ten times."
  2. By the time Jennette was six, her mother decided she was going to become an actor, despite the fact that Jennette had never expressed any desire to try acting. Debra said that she had always dreamed of being famous, and wanted Jennette to have a better childhood than she did. When Jennette auditioned to find an agent, she was told she'd be better as a background actor, and was terrified to tell her mother the news. When signing paperwork, her mother promised that she was not going to take any of the money Jennette made, except for her "salary and essentials." After a 6-year-old Jennette asked what she meant by essentials, her mother became enraged and demanded to know why Jennette didn't trust her.
  3. Jennette, who grew up Mormon, said she loved going to church every Sunday because it was a "beautiful, peaceful, three-hour weekly reprieve from the place I hate most: home." She describes Debra as a hoarder who piled every room of their home with junk. In fact, there were so many things in the bedrooms that the children had to sleep in the living room on gymnastics mats purchased from Costco.
  4. After earning background roles in commercials and shows like The X-Files — work that Jennette said she didn't particularly enjoy — she booked a role in Golden Dreams, a film set during the Great Depression that played at Disney's California Adventure. While on set, she looked so sad that a director noticed her and cast her as a principal actor. Riding high from Jennette's first big role, Debra decided to take her career to the next level, and met Barbara Cameron, a talent agent and the mother of Candace Cameron Bure. Barbara said that Jennette needed to take acting lessons if she wanted to be one of her clients.
  5. During her audition process, Jennette said that her mother took her on "maintenance trips" to Rite-Aid, where she bought beauty supplies to "fix" her flaws. Every time her mother told her she was pretty, there was also always a list of things that needed to be fixed. "I’m beginning to wonder if I’m really naturally beautiful at all, or if Mom’s use of the term ‘naturally beautiful’ goes in the same place where others would just use the term ‘ugly,'" she writes. She later learned that she wasn't invited to audition for the movie Because Of Winn Dixie because they were looking for an "ethereal beauty," and Jennette was too "homely." The role went to AnnaSophia Robb instead.
  6. Jennette became notorious for her ability to cry on cue, a feat that her mother emblazoned at the top of her resumé. She writes that she would imagine situations from her family life to get herself to cry, but notes that she could only think about each event 4-6 times before she would be "all cried out" from it. During an audition for an episode of Without A Trace, Jennette failed to cry on cue for the first time. After leaving, she tearfully told her mom that she wanted to quit acting. Debra started to sob and told her that if she quits, their family will lose their chance of fame and success. Soon after the audition, Debra ended up in the hospital. Jennette, who was 10 years old at the time, went to visit her and proudly showed her a screenplay she wrote. Debra balked at the script and told Jennette that if she became a writer, she would get a "big, giant writer’s watermelon butt" instead of a "little actress’s peach butt."
  7. Debra always took pride in Jennette being small for her age because it meant that she could play roles meant for younger children. When Jennette's breasts started to grow, she was horrified because she knew she would be alienated from the younger roles. After she expressed this to her mother, Debra told her that restricting calories would help halt puberty. They created a plan where Jennette ate a maximum of 1,000 calories a day. Despite the low caloric intake, Jennette started eating only half of her meals to impress her mother. Debra weighed her every Sunday, measured her thighs, and encouraged her to start drinking coffee to suppress her appetite, even though coffee is forbidden in the Mormon church.
  8. Jennette writes that she dreaded taking a shower because her mother showered her until she was 17 years old. While Debra claimed it was because she didn't trust Jennette to wash her own hair properly, she also enforced the same treatment on Jennette's older brothers, and even forced Jennette to shower with her brother when he was a teenager. After every shower, Debra gave Jennette a breast and “front butt” exam, which she claimed was to ensure that Jennette didn't have cancer. When her mother examined her, Jennette said she felt like she left her body and went to "Fantasyland."
  9. In 2006, Jennette was invited to screen-test for both iCarly and Californication. She booked iCarly, and although she knew she should be thrilled that she finally landed a leading role, she said she was only glad that her mom would finally be happy with her. Once on set, Jennette met Miranda Cosgrove and was instantly enamored with her, writing that when they met, her "cool radar" shifted.
  10. On the set of iCarly, Jennette noted several times when she felt uncomfortable around Dan Schneider, who she refers to as The Creator in the book. During a photoshoot, Schneider insisted that the girls wear bikinis, even though Jennette said she felt uncomfortable showing her body. Jennette's first kiss happened on-screen, and was micro-managed by Schneider, who angrily forced her to reshoot it over and over again while yelling specifications and instructions.
  11. During a lunch meeting with her mom and The Creator, he told her that she was in the running to receive her own spinoff series called Just Puckett, as long as she listened to all of his advice and did what she was told. He promised her that the show would happen in the next few years because iCarly had been doing so well that he didn't want to ruin it. Prior to the meeting, Debra encouraged Jennette to play up her health struggles in an attempt to make The Creator pity them and offer them more opportunities.
  12. During the 2007 writer's strike, iCarly went on hiatus. Debra decided to use the downtime to kickstart a potential country music career for Jennette. By the time the songs were finished, production had resumed, but Debra insisted Jennette could do both, and put her on a grueling schedule of filming all week, then flying to Nashville to record music all weekend. Her debut song was about missing her mother, even though Jennette said at that point, they had never been apart for more than a few hours. While planning her tour, Debra learned that her cancer had returned. Jennette offered to cancel the tour, but Debra told her she couldn't. The tour marked the first time Jennette had been away from her mother for a long stretch of time. While apart, Jennette began to eat more and started to gain weight. When she saw her mother for the first time after the tour, Debra was horrified and told Jennette that she had gotten "too chunky."
  13. When Jennette got her period at age 16, she was horrified, and lapsed back into her restrictive eating patterns because she was terrified of growing up. Throughout the rest of her career on Nickelodeon, Jennette struggled with anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating.
  14. By age 18, Jennette decided to move out of her family's home and into her own apartment. At this point, her mother was in a wheelchair and could no longer drive Jennette to set, but refused to let her get her license because she said Jennette's time was better spent "learning lines or planning tweets." On the first day in her new apartment, her mom asked to spend the night, then slept there for three months straight, even though Jennette craved independence.
  15. When iCarly ended in 2012, Jennette was devastated not because the show was over, but because she feared her friendship with Miranda Cosgrove would come to an end. However, their friendship got much stronger once the show ended. In fact, Miranda became one of the first people Jennette told about her bulimia once she sought recovery. Years later, when Miranda called Jennette to ask her to co-star in the iCarly reboot, she told Jennette that she thought it could be the thing that restarted their Hollywood careers.
  16. When Sam and Cat began in 2013, Debra went back into the hospital. During this hospital stay, Jennette decided that she desperately needed a break, and went on a road trip with one of her best friends. While on the trip, Jennette drank alcohol for the first time and called it one of the best nights of her life. From then on, she drank nearly every night. At one point, she writes that she was doing 8-10 shots of hard liquor everyday.
  17. After she learned that her cancer was terminal, Debra asked Jennette to sing "Wind Beneath My Wings" at her funeral. Jennette told her she didn't think she could perform the song, but Debra forced her to sing it for her while they were eating at Panda Express, which embarrassed Jennette. Not wanting to upset her mother, Jennette decided to practice the song everyday until finally, her neighbor taped a piece of paper to her door that read "No More Bette Midler." At the funeral, she prepared to sing the song on the altar, but was so overcome with emotion that she said she just stood there and cried instead.
  18. On the Sam and Cat set, Jennette became known as a “good sport” because a lot of accommodations had to be made to fit into Ariana Grande’s flourishing music career. Even though Jennette put her best foot forward, she said it was frustrating that she had to turn down movie projects because the writers refused to write her out of episodes, even though they extended that courtesy to Ariana. Her frustration came to a head when she learned Ariana had been completely written out of an episode by telling the audience that her character had been locked in a box.
  19. Sam and Cat got canceled after one season, a decision that thrilled Jennette. When her management company told her that Nick was offering her $300,000 as a “thank you gift” for not speaking publicly about her experiences at Nickelodeon, she turned down the offer because she said it felt too much like “hush money," although she later worried that she should have taken it because it would've made a big difference in her life. Meanwhile, rumors that the show was canceled because Jennette was angry that Ariana made more money than her began to spread, but Jennette said this was not the case. Reflecting on her experience on Nickelodeon, she writes, "I hate being known as Sam. I absolutely hate it. I’ve tried to find some peace with it, but I haven’t."
  20. After Sam and Cat ended, Jennette landed a role in a Netflix show called Between, but had some trepidation about it after reading the script. She accepted the role because she thought being part of a huge brand like Netflix would be good for her career. Once on set, she noticed that things didn't seem quite right, and began to believe that she was going to be a part of Netflix’s first flop. After she learned that Between was really a show made by CityTV that Netflix had agreed to distribute, she was humiliated, and started to reconsider if she really wanted to be an actor.
  21. After Debra's death, Jennette's father Mark began dating Karen, who was Debra's best friend in high school. Karen encouraged Mark, who always had a strained relationship with both Debra and Jennette, to divulge a life-changing secret: he is not Jennette's biological father. Jennette was shocked by the revelation, and learned that Andrew, her biological father, was a jazz musician who performed locally. She gathered a group of friends, including Miranda Cosgrove, to go to one of his concerts, where he told her that he knew that she existed, but never reached out because he was unsure if Debra had ever told her that Mark wasn't her biological dad. She wrote that although she's glad she met him, she doesn't know if she's ever going to see him again.
  22. And finally, after she lost a tooth while purging during a flight to Australia, Jennette decided to re-enter treatment for her eating disorders. With the help of Jeff, her new therapist, she worked to retool her thinking around food. After Between was cancelled in 2017, she decided to finally stop acting after she determined through therapy that she needed to quit in order to regain control of her life. Jennette has since turned to writing, directing, and podcasting.

2022.08.09 22:33 millymichelle Jennette McCurdy and the Blessing of the Saturn Return.

I've previously written about singer JoJo, and how her Saturn Return ended up being a prosperous time in her life. (Humble brag: she read it!)
Anyway, I wanted to examine Jennette McCurdy of Nickelodeon fame (Sam & Cat, iCarly, etc.). Her name has been buzzing around a lot lately due to the imminent release of her memoir: I'm Glad My Mom Died
TW: mentions assault
Here is Jennette's chart, Rodden rated A. Below is a listing of biographical events from her memoir matched up against what I've seen in Jennette's chart.
1) Let's address that title. McCurdy has Pluto in Scorpio in the 10th house, as the most elevated planet (closest to the midheaven). In some way, this indicates a public life, a career, and an image that is Plutonian in nature. Death is Plutonian--specifically humor around death, which McCurdy has used as a coping mechanism. There is something distinctly taboo about the paths 10H Pluto individuals take. Unfortunately, this raised up Pluto also predisposed her ascent into celebrity and status to be mired in controversy, control, and criminally abhorrent behavior. (Out on the other end, a public life that is transformational and healing for those on the receiving end of McCurdy's gifts)
2) Her Mom. McCurdy has a Moon-Pluto opposition between Taurus and Scorpio, respectively. This opposition can manifest as a mother or childhood marked by extreme control, abuse of power, and in more abject cases, sexual and physical assault. It at the very least indicates a degree of intensity always at play. With this 4H Moon-10H Pluto configuration, her mom and childhood inevitably factor heavily in her career trajectory. And such was the case--McCurdy's mom intended for her daughter to become an actor, a failed dream of her own that she forced upon her daughter and then lived vicariously through. Her mother was sexually abusive, emotionally abusive, and encouraged McCurdy to restrict calories, leading to anorexia and bulimia that began at age 11. Her mom also had anorexia, untreated. She also forced McCurdy to work very long and grueling hours and to undergo invasive physical "exams" to make sure she didn't have cancer (McCurdy's mom had breast cancer when McCurdy was 2, and subsequently died when the cancer recurred 19 years later).
The Taurus Moon opposing Pluto can present as an obsessive need to control one's body--how it looks, how it is being nurtured, how it is perceived. It can also present as anxiety around death and illness, with hypervigilent Pluto always directing the Taurus Moon (where the physical body reigns supreme) to look after the body and maintain the health/beauty of the body in excessive and dangerous ways. That this behavior wad made manifest through her mom speaks to the exalted nature of the Moon in Taurus (insistent) in the 4H. Exalted planets can become caricatures, and can represent both our tendencies and the way others show up in our lives. Especially so as oppositions tend to manifest outwardly in relationship dynamics. (Taurus caricatures: obsessed with beauty, the body, hedonism, materialistic, etc.)
McCurdy also has Mars in Taurus in the 4H--the battlefield was home (mother threw things at her and her siblings, etc.). Taurus things, like rest, food, beauty and self-care, were weaponized against McCurdy. (Note: Mars is debilitated in Taurus, which may not incline one to fight back or assert themselves. Mars in Taurus fights to maintain peace and stability, which sometimes means becoming passive)
Both Mars and Moon answer to Venus in Cancer in the 6th house, a sensitive and loving placement that can long to please and serve others to the detriment of caring for itself.
Also, McCurdy was forced into acting, among other reasons, in order to support her family monetarily. It also turns out her small fortune was mishandled (by...her mother?) (Taurus caricatures).
3) Holy T-Square. The Moon-Pluto opposition in McCurdy's chart is being square by Saturn rising in Aquarius, conjunct the degree of the ascendant forming the stressful T-square aspect, which between fixed signs is among the most difficult to deal with. Harder to deal with as both Saturn and Pluto can represent malefic energy, and because the Moon is involved--emotional well-being. Saturn's influence also looks like control, but where Pluto deploys psychological and emotional weaponry, Saturn's control comes to us in the form of real-world structures. Also, authority figures. Her mom played the role of one authority figure, who McCurdy recalled she was eager to please. But Saturn also came in the form of the patriarchal and predatory conditions at Nickelodeon, on the set of Sam & Cat. Forced to drink, called obscenities, bikini photos taken without consent. Her mom never stepped in, resigning it all to normal Hollywood dynamics.
So, she was failed by the industry and left unprotected. Also, she wasn't allowed to pursue other projects, in stark contrast to her co-star Ariana Grande. In her memoir, McCurdy's states that Nickelodeon offered her money, to the tune of 300k, to keep quiet about her experiences (Saturn square Pluto and the depths authority can sink to in order to maintain power), but she turned it down. (Yas!)
In a night chart, Saturn is her out-of-sect malefic, making it her most difficult planet. On the ascendant, the maleficence plays out through the identity and the body. Symbolically, Saturn rising represents a lack of expression or agency over one's life, and a type of life that is weathered and eroded by constant difficulty. Saturn limits. Saturn says NO. Saturn also represents that which shrinks...also: bones, teeth, and aging. So anorexia and bulimia (which rotted McCurdy's teeth) were evocative embodiment's of Saturn influence over the house of appearance and vitality. McCurdy notes that she was afraid of aging, because she thought her mother would not love her anymore (Saturn square Moon).
4) Saturn as apex. Saturn is the apex planet in this T-square, indicating that it is a point of release and mitigation out from the all-consuming intensity of the Moon-Pluto opposition. Positively, Saturn represents self-discipline, doing the work on yourself, and finding the practical and sustainable middle-ground out from the hysterics of Moon opposite Pluto. In 2013, when McCurdy's mother died, she quit acting. Around this time, transit Saturn was forming the opening square to her natal Saturn. It is also around this time (ages 21-23) that we start the process of striking out on our own (i.e. graduating college and entering the workforce). This period of time bears a semblance to the Saturn Return, with certain themes repeating (the Saturn cycle). It wasn't until McCurdy's Saturn Return (currently still in progress) that she penned this memoir, after years of therapy. (McCurdy's 8th house Jupiter can, among other things, represent the expansion and reclaimed joy that comes as a result of talk therapy).
Saturn Returns are an opportune time to look back in order to move forward. In fact, a lot of public figures end up writing memoir's during their first or second Saturn Return--coincidentally. The first Saturn Return marks a period of time where childhood (0-28/29 in Saturn speak) needs to be reckoned with. This reflection ushers in a new phase of adulthood with the clarity of a sobered and mature mind. Many endings, but also many beginnings. And most importantly, you have a huge chunk of lived experience that can contribute to wisdom and self-acceptance.
In McCurdy's case, the work she has put into reevaluating who she is out from under the influence of her mother appears to have at least partially paid off--with a popular new book on the way and a reemergence into the spotlight on her own terms. Plus, the love, support and adoration of fans and colleagues. Career-wise, she is finding success in being a TV-writer, a playwright, a podcaster, and novelist. All of this, finally, self-directed and chosen by herself, for herself.
On a more global scale, McCurdy's revelations about working at Nickelodeon, and outing a popular producer as a predatory (the internet sleuths found out who it was), will contribute to the on-going reconstruction of an exploitative industry, and lend testimony to other victimized women. Pluto in the 10H--she is a transformer.
Though, not without regret, McCurdy admitted how ashamed she is of her iCarly and Sam & Cat roles, calling them "embarrassing and cheesy". That, too, is part of the Saturn Return--owning up to past misgivings, mistakes, and regrettable actions. Hopefully intending not to make them again. (In her case, clearly had no control over it one way or another)
This Saturn Return has given McCurdy the gift of identity and dignity. To seriously work on yourself, to face the shadows in your life, in yourself, and to resolve to become stronger for them--all a testament to Saturn,. You are responsible for your life, no matter the cards dealt. And that is...freeing. Emotional and mental stability naturally arise, Saturn's influence fortifying what we strive towards. The intensity of her Moon-Pluto opposition has found solid landing ground, more able to do the transformational emotional work and (generational) healing potentialized in this configuration. The intensity now lives inside a very capable adult, and can be channeled cathartically.
Her next 30 years look bright :) And FWIW I think she is an emotional warrior badass (as Cancers are :) Very inspiring.
TDLR: Jennette McCurdy is glad her mom died, has overcome a LOT, and is kicking absolute ass at her Saturn return.

2022.02.19 10:59 Financial_Bar6837 The Link Between Processed Foods and Cancer

The Link Between Processed Foods and Cancer
​
https://preview.redd.it/nma3cdhwiri81.jpg?width=6000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d3785c0daba36977fda4b4fd1446e8c4fa2b4a58
Emerging research has resurfaced from the international peer-reviewed medical journal, The BMJ, and has found a strong correlation between the consumption of ultra-processed foods and the increased risk of cancer. Previous studies have found links between ultra-processed foods and their contribution to increasing the risk of cardiometabolic disorders, such as obesity and hypertension. This was one of the first studies to specifically focus on the link between the level of food processing and cancer risk - but it echoes concerns that many in the health and nutrition community have been vocal on for years.
This large study found a 10% increase in the proportion of ultra-processed foods in the diet was associated with an increase of more than 12% in the risk of overall cancer and 11% in the risk of breast cancer. The study involved 104,980 participants aged at least 18 years from a French cohort.
From 2009 to 2017 dietary intakes were collected using repeated 24-hour dietary records, tracking participants’ consumption of 3300 different food items. The results indicated ultra-processed fats, sauces, sugary products, and drinks were associated with an increased risk of overall cancer, and ultra-processed sugary products were associated with the risk of breast cancer.

Worrying Increase In Ultra-Processed Food Consumption

Increasingly over the past decades, diets in many countries have shifted towards a dramatic increase in the consumption of ultra-processed foods. The shift to higher consumption of these food products can be largely put down to being conceived as safe, convenient, tasty, and affordable.
Studies considering food consumption habits, including household food expense surveys and supermarket sales, have found ultra-processed food products contribute to between 25% and 50% of total daily energy intake. Americans are said to receive 61% of their calories from highly processed foods.
This new research sheds important light on the dangers of these commonly purchased and consumed foods, and will hopefully contribute to the changing perception that processed foods are not as harmless as once thought.

Key Cancer-Causing Characteristics

Several characteristics of ultra-processed foods may be involved in causing cancer. The higher content of total fat saturated fat and added sugar and salt, along with a lower fiber and vitamin density are of considerable concern. These components are contributors to inflammation in the body, and chronic inflammation has been found to increase cancer risk.

Neo-Formed Contaminants In Processed Foods

Beyond their nutritional make-up, the industrial preparation of these foods (particularly heat treating for flavor and digestibility) could be contributing to their carcinogenic properties.
Acrylamide, heterocyclic amines, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are present in heat-treated processed food products and have been linked with cancer risk. Additionally, dangerous materials and chemicals found in processed food packaging including fluorine and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), have been linked with fertility and thyroid problems, developmental delays in children along increased cancer risks.
While this research only uncovers patterns and correlations between processed food consumption and cancer risk, the researchers consider the findings to be significant and worthy of further investigation. Hopefully, ultra-processed foods will continue to be the subject of close scientific scrutiny, and perceptions of these nutritionally devoid products will change.
While some foods have been shown to cause cancer, others have been shown to aid in cancer recovery and even prevent the disease, to begin with.

Season 7 ended with our new current, old, and reigning, u/missforadollar, taking charge in these streets. She brought prosperity to the land. Clothed the homeless, breast fed starving children, balanced my checkbook, dedicated her life to a half-assed Santino Rice impersonation gig…

So of course it’s been long enough for us to look into crowning a new bitch!

SpoiledDragRace Drag Race is back with 10 new dolls itching to show us if their pussies have got the GRIP (Google, Reddit, Imgur, and Pinterest) necessary to straddle the crown for dear life! Who will be the next Reddit Drag Race Superstar? Behbeh I’m ready!

SDRDR Season 8

INT. WERK ROOM
🎶Shea Coulee’s twerking ass cheeks generating jet currents
u/itseuijin enters the werkroom in her entrance look.
She takes 3 good diva steps forward, stops, and poses for the camera. “Buckle up!”
It’s only her and the camera crew right now, but they’re living!
🎥Talking Head: u/itseuijin, “Hey besties, Euijin is back!!!! Some people know me as the lovely runner-up from Fagula where I won the first 2 challenges and Olivia-ed the rest, but since no one read that season, here I am! My drag is focused on looking the best out of everyone, and based off some of those promo looks, I don’t even have to try. I know narcissism aint cute, but I am.”
The camera takes in every inch of her pinterest realness as she wastes no time giving every pose.
🎥Talking Head: u/itseuijin, “No holding back this time. I want that winner’s flair and I want it NOW.”
She’s interrupted by the sound of some of the most jarring and confusing music ever.
🎶Midwestern banjo pop music...we think?!
u/Pandadude688 waddles into the werkroom in her entrance look.
“PORK LOW ELIM 😘✌️”
Euijin just stares, “Aww...you’re kind of tacky and can see into the future. I love that!”
🎥Talking Head: u/Pandadude688, “Hey y’all! I’m panda, 17, from the absolute trash state of Oklahoma. I’m a type of gal who really has no idea what’s she’s doing, thinks she’s fashionable but isnt, and is pretty stupid. That’s what makes me fun! I’m not really known at all.. but I do recognize faces in this competition.”
Panda just tries to strike a bunch of loony poses, but can’t stop staring at Euijin, “fuck… I didn’t think this was going to be that hard.”
🎥Talking Head: u/Pandadude688, “I certainly feel like Veronica Green in a crowd of Ginny Lemons. I came here for one goal really and that’s the crown. This is the first time I’ve ever done a competition like this, and I’d love to just slay this and throw it in these seasoned queens face(s).”
“Oh, you know of me?” Euijin inquires
Panda finally has the energy to quirkily pose for the camera despite the fear. “Well, let’s just say I know you’re really good at starting off strong!”
“Yeah, just know I’ll bring it and bring it hard!”
“Shame we both know you’ll fizzle in the end 😘.” Panda blurts without breaking eye contact with the cameras. She didn’t want Euijin to see the agony in her face as she mustered up the courage to say that.
“Hmph, well the last time a little kid got in the way of me and the crown she died trying to finish signing up for the PSATs or whatever white people do in the UK!” Euijin proclaims as Panda walks over to her.
iCarly music begins playing, but is revealed to just be the ringtone of a cameraman. As he gets off the phone he meagerly walks over to the two and tells them they need to make their way over to the main stage.
“Is there no budget this season?” Panda says getting her basic drag race gay life from the cuntiness.
“Don’t ask that question in that entrance outfit.” The camera crew says as a group ushering the girls over.
🎶 Sexy transition music

INT. MAIN STAGE
🎶🎶 Redditgirl! Please just go for a walk! Spoiled Sub is making your brain rot!
u/KingKabs walks the mainstage in his premiere episode look and… he’s already over this.
KingKabs: Welcome to the mainstage of SpoiledDragRace Drag Race Season 8! Our first judge is Season 3 loser turned AS2 winner, u/Grotesquette! Grotesquette… fuck you Alyssa.
Grotesquette doesn’t even reply as she’s frantically scrambling around the table looking for her bottle of happy meds to get into character.
KingKabs: ...Fuck you! Our next judge is AS1 icon and winner, u/Eufreka! Hey beetch?!
Eufreka: Is Travis on this season?
KingKabs: No
Eufreka: Then this one’s shit already.
KingKabs: Exactly what we said when we realized Deleta won too! Speaking of winners and things that aren’t, hey u/TheHippoLegend
Hippo: Whodat, if you’re out there, just know this throat hasn’t forgotten the taste of you!
KingKabs: Aahaha...gross! And the last judge is my favorite bitch from Season 7! The winner, u/missforadollar! Is your currency in check!?!
Missforadollar: Leslie Uggams is that you?!?! You’re alive?!
KingKabs: Get out of character bitch! Tonight on the Season 8 premiere...we’re doing things a little similar, but different to Season 7! Good luck, and let’s get to know these bitches!

MAIN STAGE
Euijin and Panda walk in greeted by the faces of Gods and Demons.
KingKabs: Judges, I’d like for you to meet u/itseuijin, and u/Pandadude688!
Missforadollar: Back to flop another competition at the last minute Euijin?
“After seeing the competition? No!” Euijin retorts as she twirls emphatically.
Eufreka: What are you wearing Miss Panda? Do you need a drag mother?
“Oh just some quintessential Panda exclusive never before seen, worn, or featured clothes. I think. And no!”
KingKabs: Okay okay, that was cute. I simply have one thing to say and I hope you’re ready for a doozy ladies.

INT. WERK ROOM
🎶The Awakening of Jacob Plays
u/xXJuliePowersXx enters the werkroom in her entrance look.
She stops, eyes beaming at the camera and in her best Jack Nicholson in ‘The Shining’ voice says, “Heeeere's Julie!” as a toothy grin washes over her.
🎥Talking Head: u/xXJuliePowersXx, “I'm Julie Powers and I'm here to jolt the competition like a defibrillator.”
Julie swings her butchers knife menacingly and the camera crew simply isn’t featuring this shit. Creepy!
🎥Talking Head: u/xXJuliePowersXx, ”I would describe my drag as Horror Inspired but still Fashion and just a bit of camp!”
“First one in...all this shtick for nobody. What a waste.”
🎶The Awakening of Jacob Plays… again
u/FKAReeyo enters the werkroom in her entrance look.
She skips forward gracefully with arms bound, comes to a halt, and tries to speak, but the tape on her mouth has fucked her over!
“What are you trying to say? Let me help you.” Julie says as she walks over and removes the tape from her mouh.
“hi besties x” Reeyo finally lets out.
“Oh…” Julie stares confused.
🎥Talking Head: u/FKAReeyo, “Hi i’m FKAreeyo and i’m out here repping for the spooky slags this season. All i ever get recognised for is claiming Gia Gunn was the star of every drag race episode, but also for ending every sentence with an x!”
The two stare each other down for a hot second before joyfully hugging one another!
“There’s two of us this season yay x” Reeyo hops around with excitement.
🎥Talking Head: u/FKAReeyo, “I plan to win SDRDR8 by not being a flop, which will be a true shift in my branding x”
“Wonder who’s next x”
A couple of minutes pass by and the girls finally realize the camera crew left ages ago with just a note saying to walk out the back door to the main stage.
🎶 Spooky transition music

Hippo: Oh my God are you two twins?!?!
“Yes, but I’m the pretty one!” Julie blurts out while aggressively slapping her palm over Reeyo’s mouth.
Grotesquette: I’m… apathetic
“Well I don’t think it’s very nice to call someone pathetic x” Reeyo frees herself from Julie’s hand to get a word in. “By the way who are you x. i’m surprised to see Kabs in full drag next to a hippo x”
KingKabs: That… is a long story for later! I’ll be the one asked questions now!

INT. WERKROOM...YET AGAIN
🎶 Music befitting of the entrance of the Goddess of Chaos, mess, and exhaustion
u/exarchmarulyon enters the werkroom in her entrance look.
“I'm not only here to stir and stew, I'm also here to serve. Who ordered the potpie?”
🎥Talking Head: u/exarchmarulyon, “Greetings mortals! The name's u/exarchmarulyon, and I'm the potstirring, troublemaking, commandment-breaking diva of Season 8. Some of you might know me best as the girl who caused the Polaroidgate meltdown when I tagged Swish and NyxMorgana under a comment, causing them to fight it out and get the Dear Diary shut down. But I've grown since then.....sideways mostly, quarantine's not been kind girl.”
“I’m the first one in what the fuck? Ya’ll gotta be hiding. Where the white queens at?! By the way, ya’ll can call me Ace!” Ace searches the entire damn work room looking for girls.
🎥Talking Head: u/exarchmarulyon, “Regardless, I'm here to give you guys a good show and hopefully win this crown along the way. My passion Graphic Design is not, but I think I've a few tricks up my sleeves that'll get your attention. I just hope there's no jury bullshit this time. Toodles!”
“I can’t see any white queens, but just know, I stan you all already no cap no questions, nothing.”
🎶 Nevermind, true chaotic and messy music has begun playing instead
u/ValerieHeart69 enters the werkroom in her entrance look.
“good morning to LOUD MOUTH HOE................. ONLY!!!!!!!!” Valerie screams at the top of her lungs as her voice cracks in 72 different ways.
Ace is fucking startled as he looks over and a massive lump forms in his throat. His gaze was fixed upon a true, raw, unfiltered form of terror that he’d only last seen on the cast of Season 6.
“Fucking Valerie’s here nooooooo.” Ace rips her wig off. She’s not dealing with this shit.
“Come come baby. It is I, Coco!” Valerie scurries over to Ace and begins circling him excitedly.
🎥 Talking Head: u/ValerieHeart69, “Hi I'm Val, your science queen from Singapore. Boys like me because i have big tiddies big ass and most importantly a big brain! Im going to do something thats never been done on SDR before - be smart and have a big heart!”
Ace, who’d been desperately trying to get away from Val and her psychopathy stops. “Of all the queens I thought would be here you were my last guess Val.”
“It’s so funny do you think I’ll be first out again? What’s over there out that door? Let’s go there, come come!”
Val drags Ace against his will out of the werkroom through the backdoor.

🎶🎶 Redditgirl! Please just go for a walk! Spoiled Sub is making your brain rot!
KingKabs: I-... what the fuck is going on and why are you two here before schedule?
“Hi Kabitha! Where’s Grot?!?!” Val bleets.
KingKabs: ...Judges, this hot mess of a child is Val and the oversized grown man is Ace or exarch- idgaf. They’re both competing this season, say hi!
The judges refuse to return from their coffee breaks 2 minutes early.
KingKabs: Well… nevermind! Let’s get on with the important stuff cause by the time I finish they’ll be back.

INT. WERKROOM internal screaming
🎶 Ethereal Sufjan Stevens-esque music plays
u/Aries-Aura enters the werkroom in her entrance look.
“Move over Tina Burner, this fire is gonna ram through the competition! (fierce pose idk).”
Aries, embarrassed, “Oh, fuck, um, I didn’t mean to say ‘fierce pose idk’ out loud! Fuck fuck did I ruin my entrance already? This is a lot.”
🎥 Talking Head: u/Aries-Aura, “Hello, my name is u/Aries-Aura, I'm beyond the mortal concept known as time, and I am a Cincy gal living it up in the Windy City!”
“I’m the only one here right now. Ooooh thank God. I was so worried anyone saw that. My Saturn must be in Hot Girl Summer right now because I am an anxious mess right now. Explains why I’m sweating too.”
🎥 Talking Head: u/Aries-Aura, “When you go to a u/Aries-Aura show, you're gonna get FUN! I'm just a fun-loving hoe that likes music, weather, and the zodiac!”
🎶 If mayo had a sound, this is it.
u/Dee-Pression enters the werkroom in her entrance look.
“What, like it's hard?”
“OH MY GOD DEE BITCH ALLIANCE YASSS.” Aries belches right as Dee finishes her entrance line.
“Oh hey girl. I’m not surprised to see you here. You look cute!”
🎥 Talking Head: u/Dee-Pression, “Great, just what I need. An overly stimulated mess of a queen that I kn- Hi! I'm Dee Pression, and you're going to need therapy after losing this season! I do a little bit of everything - I'm campy, I do a bit of ooky-spooky drag here and there, but I know when I need to go full glamour. If I had to give one word for my drag style, it'd be 'referential' - I love a good pop culture reference whether it be a film, musical (hi dollar), music video, video game, or a composer who died many centuries ago - I take a lot of inspiration from the world around me.”
There’s pain in Dee’s face from maintaining her nice front, but she endures. “So, Aries, aren’t you just excited? I am. So I’m guessing based on the scuff marks sloppily wiped away on the floor that we aren’t the first ones in.”
“Wait, how the hell did you notice all that?!” Aries eyes dart around the floor making note of the poor scrubbing.
“Yeah, we aren’t the first ones here. At all. Calculations tell me we’re going to be lip syncing against each other. It’s what makes the most sense. Prepare to die, my sister.”
🎥 Talking Head: u/Dee-Pression: “I'm known for my graphic design skill, I consider myself a photoshop queen - but something that a lot of people don't know about me is that I was a competitive dancer, so I'm ready to kick and split and buck the house down... where appropriate.
Aries, shaken, simply looks at Dee with pleading eyes. “I’ve got some fight in me too! I swear!”
“Well I’d honestly be surprised if the results aren’t in my favor truly.” Dee smirks as she simply walks in direction of the main stage following the subtle wear and tear of the flooring in its direction. Aries follows suit.
🎥 Talking Head: u/Dee-Pression, “I plan to win by actually submitting things on time... just kidding! I plan to win by sticking to my guns - knowing where my sense of humour lies and my self-proclaimed 'eye for design' will help me get to that finale, not to mention that I made the subreddit banner and icon for this season... so no pressure!”
🎶 Preppy perfectionist music ensues

INT. MAIN STAGE...take 97
🎶🎶 Redditgirl! Please just go for a walk! Spoiled Sub is making your brain rot!
KingKabs: Please welcome u/Dee-Pression and u/Aries-Aura! Aries, my dear, do you need to breathe in the paper bag?
“I’m fine. IIIIIIIII’m fine. I think. I don’t know. I swear. I’m stressed. It was a little humid outside, the temperature is around 67 degrees fahrenheit, about 19.44 degrees celsius for non-Americans, outside so maybe that’s why my breathing is so shifty. Congestion...or my Moon is in Twerk Brigade or whatever. Oh boy.”
Grotesquette: Can you like… relax? Also, who’s this one again?
“I’m Dee Pression. Despite being out of Miranda drag I can still tell it’s you Grotesquette. How are you, former mother?”
KingKabs: Oh wow… anxious cookie versus smart cookie. Anyways, I have one question.
Dee aggressively rips off her costume to reveal that she has a leotard underneath which is inspired by Nastia Liukin's from the 2008 Olympics!

Oh… wow! So, prior to today, you were asked to prepare a lipsync to “Breakin’ Dishes” by Rihanna! Good luck, and don’t fuck it up!

INT. WERK ROOM...SIGH
🎶 Ambulance noises
u/Jrhendr enters the werkroom in her entrance look.
“Tell Cedar Sinai to ready their ICU — cause I’m about to put these girls in the hospital.”
Jrhendr looks around the werkroom… there are no girls.
“Oh… hmph. First in, last out. Whatever the other bitches say!”
🎥 Talking Head: u/Jrhendr, “Hello, my name is jrhendr, I’m *muffled* years old, and I’ve been granted a PhD in dumb bitchery. That, or a 5150 involuntary psychiatric hold, I wasn’t clear what the final ruling from the judge was.”
Jr explores the werkroom and eyes out where she feels will best suit her luggage. “This will certainly do! Can’t wait to see what the rest of the trolls look like!”
🎥 Talking Head: u/Jrhendr, ”I have always been inspired by the #girlbosses and #bossbabes of the world, so my drag is kind of a love letter to my lady supervillains and those brave women that dared to start a knife selling pyramid scheme. These other contestants better be ready, because I have way too much time on my hands.”
“I wonder if I lick the set will I be able to say I can just taste the crown?”
🎶 Edgy rock music plays
u/sonicxmusic enters the werkroom in her entrance look.
She struts forward and Jr is genuinely terrified until she stops. Stares at her and simply says.. “Entrance quote.”
🎥 Talking Head: u/sonicxmusic, “Hi I’m Tucker Telephone, and I’m the delusional illegal alien bitch from New York City! I’m probably most known for being Shea Koolaid’s replacement. And with that I say... you’re welcome.”
“Well aren’t you just the prettiest pop princess at the sugar ball? Aha…” Jr says, regarding Tuckers gloomy appearance.
“I don’t do cute. I do beautiful, gorgeous, and dangerous.”
“Well you DO look like you play with ouijia boards and I’d love to play with one oh my gosh they seem like fun!” Jr says.

SHE DONE ALREADY DONE HAD HERS DONE BECAUSE SHE DONE ALREADY HAD HERS DONE HERSES DONE DURRRUDURUDURRRRRRUDDRRUUUUR DRDU PREMIERING MAY 1ST 2021

Jr and Tucker walk over to the, very, recently installed werkroom TV and see u/Grotesquette on the screen.

“My beautiful two, it’s so nice to meet you. Get the fuck on over to the main stage you cuties!”
“Well, that’s very forward of Grot.” Tucker says, puzzled.

2018.07.20 16:17 Romen123 Why i went back to NJOY. Best stealth MTL option

The NJOY prefilled tank was my first real vape besides crappy disposalables. Got me off analog cigs.
When they announced the bankruptcy a few years back, I panicked and stated doing a bunch of research. So happy I found this sub. Thank you all.
I have a proper mod at home - pico with the Vapefly Nicholas - which is fantastic. Highly recommend it.
But I still needed something small and stealthy for work. I've done a ton of research and tried lots of devices, including the icare, ego aio, breeeze, and a bunch of others. Even recently tried the Juul- which I think it highly overrated.
I really enjoy the original breeze. I have two - one for nic salts and one for non-salt. During a work day, I smoke to and from work, with some quick breaks during the day. The battery usually dies out before day end. And the breeze is not as stealthy as I'd like. Not quite slim or light enough to fit in your pocket with wallet and phone, or to slip into the breast pocket of a suit jacket without bulging.
So I went and saw NJOY is back in business. I bought some prefilled tanks and it's really the prefect stealthy mtl option in my opinion. With a 650 battery, it's really not much taller than the Juul. It hits consistently, doesn't leak, has good (enough) flavor, and is stealthy enough to stay in my pocket all day long.
I think it retails for $6 each but if you buy from NJOY directly they have discounts - the more you buy the greater the % off - and so I pay less than $5 each. Still more expensive than filling your own but perhaps because it's above 1 ohm, the tank lasts me a week, since I only use it during the work day. Once home, I switch to my pico/vapefly.
I have no vested interested or desire to shill. I just see soooo many posts seeking a stealthy mtl option, that I thought it's worth pointing out the NJOY prefilled tanks are a pretty good solution. Even the daily isn't bad for when you might want real stealth and a disposal (e.g., like on a rafting trip or beach, where water or sand could mess up your device).
Again, I wouldn't recommend it for chain vaping or true flavor but I think it strike a great good balance between stealth and utility.
Happy vaping!

2017.07.30 23:22 sterlingbently You'll never guess what happened when I met Kaceytron.........

My dream goal in life is to be a comcast internet fixer. As a comcast internet fixer I get a job as comcast internet fixer in Kansas City, MO. Working there as a comcast internet fixer I wait and wait for the inevitable day when the popular female boobie streamer known as "Kaceytron's" internet goes out because she subscribes to the shitty comcast internet provider. I was be called out to her meth town with waves of exitement rushing down my spine now able to meet my very favorite child star Kaceytron. I would be wearing my fake glasses with a secret camera built in that was capable of video recording capabilites like in the episode of ICarly were she wore nerd glasses that recorded stuff (( Pictured here http://i.imgur.com/t3GFmlb.jpg )) Anyway I would roll up in my comcast brand internet fixer van greeted by the sound of dogs howling and yelping every couple of minutes. ( No wonder her neighbors hate her ) I am getting extremely anxious now, my armpits are like a swamp. I get out of my internet fixer van walk up to her door, the howling intensifies I can see scout barking through one of her front windows. As I approach the door I can only describe what sounds like hundereds of wolves howling and scratching at the door. I knock twice, assuming Kacey already hears her animal circus at the door. I am greeted by none other than Kaceytrons sister who is known as Sistertron, I think her name might be Holly though Im not sure.. But this blonde bombshell is wearing the tiniest little polka-dot bikini that does almost nothing to hide her absolutley massive watermelon sized breasts"Sorry, we're building a fence in the backyard and its hot" She says gesturing down to her skimpy bikini. I blush and play it cool, "Im here to fix your internet ma'am" I said. Sistertron, trying to hold back all the animals from escaping, quickly grabs me and pulls me into the house. ( To Be Continued )
