In 2016, Kraft Heinz removed artificial colors from its well-known Mac & Cheese product, swapping them out for natural ingredients—paprika, annatto, and turmeric. The company has not responded to a request from CR to explain what prompted the company to make this new change. But there has been increasing pressure on companies to cut back…
“If you are in one of these high-risk groups, and have a Boar’s Head packaged meat product in your refrigerator and can’t tell if it’s recalled or not, or if you just want to play it safe until the outbreak is over, throw it out,” says James E. Rogers, PhD, director of food safety research…
2024 was another year defined by generative AI, with software features put into the hands of millions of people worldwide and unavoidably built into popular services, like Google Search. While some AI tools, like ChatGPT’s Advanced Voice Mode and Google’s NotebookLM, were delightful to interact with, the prevailing narrative remained on the technology’s inherent flaws,…

Patrick Holden strolls across the field, pausing from time to time to bend and point out a bumblebee, or a white butterfly, or a dung beetle. A wide expanse of blue sky stretches above. Beneath, undulating green hills, sprawling hedgerows, a horizon broken only by the jagged tips of Wales’ Cambrian mountain range. Sun-soaked goodness….
In time, I found myself worrying about what would be lost in the event of a house fire or hurricane. I wanted to digitize the images not only to preserve them but also to share them with friends and family, particularly my teenage daughter, so she could one day look back on them and realize…
I’d be doing all of us a disservice if I angled this review toward only people with vulvas. If you have a penis and like to enjoy vibrations either solo or during partnered sexual activities, then there’s no reason why you can’t rock the Vesper 2 outside the bedroom. Then turn it on for some…
You can get a lot more from a hair dryer now. We recently put 16 hair dryers to the test, and many of these products bear little resemblance to the simple, rickety thing I used as a teen. The new models have sensors. They have magnets and RFID chips. They promise to tame flyaways, protect…
