A recent study shows intermittent fasting is linked to a high risk of cardiovascular death. The American study analysed 20,000 adults and found 91 percent were more likely to die from cardiovascular disease. Auckland University head of nutrition and dietetics, Clare Wall, says it's hard to tell how accurate the study is. "But what we don't know is actually how long these people have been on these diets for. The first thing I think about is- what was the quality of these people's diets? We don't

A supermarket action group is questioning the Commerce Commission's decision making. The Commission's decided not to investigate Sanitarium's move to pause the Warehouse's Weet-Bix supply, finding no evidence of anti-competitiveness. Sanitarium paused supply after the Warehouse began selling the cereal more cheaply than major supermarkets. Grocery Action Group's Ernie Newman says the Warehouse has had one issue after another, since it began selling groceries. "People really did say- hey, we know

The Government says it's trying to strike the right balance between helping smokers quit and stopping youth vaping. Single-use vapes will be banned by the end of the year, and fines for selling vapes to under-18s will rise massively.

Casey Costello says she's not a fan of that- and she says vapes are still a great smoking cessation tool. "The alternate risk is that we get

And that is- why two Governments in a row now are pussy-footing around the vaping problem instead of just going hard and properly putting them out of the reach of kids.

And that would be because Ayesha Verrall already banned them last year. But she stuffed up her
