Indian single malts could turn the table on scotch
Indri Diwali Collectors Edition 2023, was named best in show at the Whiskies of the World Awards, beating out competition from better known brands of scotch — as well as American bourbon and single malts from several other countries. And it’s not a one-off, either. In little over a decade, several brands from India have made their way onto the shelves of liquor stores all over the world, sharing counter space with whiskies of long renown that, only half a generation ago, were beyond the reach of most Indians. During my childhood, strict import restrictions meant that Indian scotch drinkers like my father had to depend on smugglers.

Is salt really a new culprit in type 2 diabetes?
type 2 diabetes, they often think of sugar (even though the evidence for that is still not clear). Now, a new study from the US points the finger at salt. The study, conducted by researchers at Tulane University in New Orleans, used data on about 400,000 adults, taken from the UK Biobank study. This observational study followed the participants for nearly twelve years. In that time, around 13,000 developed type 2 diabetes. In a press release, the principal investigator on the study said that «taking the saltshaker off the table can help prevent type 2 diabetes». But is it really as simple as that? For a start, this type of study, called an observational study, cannot prove that one thing causes another, only that one thing is related to another. (There could be other factors at play.) So it is not appropriate to say removing the saltshaker «can help prevent». My colleague Dan Green and I have previously criticised university press releases such as this as they can lead to misleading news stories. The Tulane study can only suggest an association between salt use and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes — nothing more. This is before considering the quality of the data itself. The data used to assess salt use, was based on the simple question: «Do you add salt to your food?» (It specifically excluded salt added in cooking.) The question the participants in the study answered only had the options: «never/rarely», «sometimes», «usually» or «always». This means it is not possible to estimate from the answers how much salt might be associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Killers Of The Flower Moon’: The Crime Saga Crosses $100M Global Box Office
Killers of the Flower Moon, a cinematic masterpiece helmed by renowned director Martin Scorsese and produced by Apple, Paramount, and Imperative Entertainment, has stormed the global box office, shattering the $100 million mark. As it strides into its third week, this epic western crime saga stands at $102.1 million in worldwide earnings. It includes an impressive $45.3 million from the domestic market and an additional $56.8 million from international theaters. The star-studded cast, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Lily Gladstone, captivated audiences when it premiered at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, followed by a global theatrical rollout in late October. What's remarkable about this achievement is that the movie's opening overseas was a powerful one, even though it's a period piece with an extended runtime. This accomplishment occurred during a time when the cast couldn't engage in traditional promotional activities due to an ongoing actors' strike. Nevertheless, the movie's appeal has not waned, with last weekend's performance showing only a 36% drop in international markets.
