Are Some Sugars ‘Less Bad’ Than Others?


        Q: I’m trying to limit sugar, but I love sweets. Are “natural” sweeteners like honey and agave syrup healthier alternatives to table sugar?


         You probably know that the sugars in fruits, vegetables and other plants are far better for you than the added sugars often found in processed foods like sodas, candy bars and many baked goods.


         But in that category of added sugars, there’s an array of sweeteners that are often seen as more “natural” or healthier than others. Honey, maple syrup and agave nectar, for instance, are commonly touted as “better for you” swaps for regular sugar, such as in many health-focused baking recipes and on social media.


        Is that right? We asked three nutrition experts to help us sort it out.

Plan to test Liberian schoolchildren for drugs blocked

October 17th, 2025

By Moses Kollie Garzeawu

Monrovia, Liberia, Africa


Liberia's Education Ministry has blocked controversial plans to introduce mandatory drug testing in all of the country's schools.


Speaking to local media, the interim head of the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA), Fitzgerald Biago, said school testing would help address the growing problem of drug abuse.


The announcement sparked a mixed response. Some thought it would help tackle the scourge of drugs, while others saw it as an invasion of privacy, or feared it would cost too much.


Last year, President Joseph Boakai declared drug and substance abuse a national emergency and a recent EU-backed report estimated that one in five young Liberians take drugs.


However, the Education Ministry said it was not aware of any plans to test students and added that such a decision needed to be based on concrete evidence and properly thought through.


Assistant minister in charge of students Sona Toure-Sesay told the BBC that this kind of plan required proper research. "Let's assume we are made aware of the proposed initiatives by the LDEA, it will require us to conduct research and review case studies from other countries where this has been successful," she said.  


Toure-Sesay also noted that testing could affect students. "What happens to students who test positive? What are the social services in place for them? Some of them might be bullied even after returning, and it may affect their overall educational performances."


She added that a multi-sectoral committee on drug and substance abuse had been set up, headed by the Health Ministry. Along with strengthening health clubs in schools, she said that this would help to reduce the prevalence of drugs among students.


President Boakai dismissed the leadership of the LDEA in August this year, and recently appointed Biago, a former senior police officer, as interim head of the agency.

Arjun had always felt most comfortable behind the scenes, quietly working as a stagehand at the town’s community theater. One day, when the lead actor suddenly fell ill hours before the premiere of the much-anticipated play, panic gripped the cast and crew. The director, in desperation, turned to Arjun and asked him to step in.

Although reluctant, Arjun agreed. He spent every spare moment backstage absorbing the script and mimicking the lead actor’s delivery. When the curtains finally rose, Arjun’s heart pounded as he stepped into the spotlight. His voice trembled at first, but as the story unfolded, something remarkable happened. He connected with the character and felt a surge of confidence.

By the end of the play, Arjun had not only delivered a stellar performance but also received a standing ovation. For years, he had believed that his place was behind the scenes. But that night, Arjun realized that true potential is often discovered in moments of adversity. The experience left him wondering how many hidden talents lie dormant simply because of fear or hesitation.

New Study: This Regional Accent Is Considered the Most Trustworthy in the U.S.—And the Results Will Really Surprise You!

By Jennifer Geddes

A person’s cadence counts for a lot.

Everyone knows first impressions are important— and we don’t just make them based on sight. Beyond a chic outfit and well-coiffed hair, how a person sounds can also be a big factor when forming an initial opinion. In fact, a recent analysis of more than a dozen American accents conducted by BetUS Casino found that some folks’ speech actually conveys more honesty and reliability than others’.

At this point, you’re probably praying your own voice sounds dependable, not shifty or shady, right? Try to relax, and then read on to learn (nay, hear!) where the most trustworthy accents are located.

How was the study conducted?

As with many studies today, internet data helped determine which parts of the country sound the most steadfast and true. BetUS Casino crafted the report, which is current as of Aug. 15, 2025, by focusing on how people feel about 14 different regional accents.

How did the company determine those feelings?

First, researchers looked at internet search terms like “friendly (accent)” or “professional (accent).” Then, to complete the rankings, they compiled data on the rate of financial crimes per 10,000 people, plus the number of lawyers and primary-care doctors in each area.

Why doctors and lawyers, you may ask? Well, these are professions that rely on trust—after all, you might have to put your life in their hands! The more of these professionals in an area, the more trustworthy the accent. Once the study authors had the information in hand, they weighted the data and ranked the regions on a scale of 1–100.

Which regional accent is considered the most trustworthy?

Now hear this: The regional accent that’s considered to be the most trustworthy hails from Boston!

Yup, the fine citizens of Beantown scored 56.1, which was enough to take top honors for sounding highly dependable. Boston ranks so strongly thanks to more than 23,300 searches related to how kind and upstanding the accent sounds. The Massachusetts capital and largest city in New England also sports a low level of financial crime and is home to tens of thousands of lawyers and doctors.

Boston shines in other ways too, underlining the trust factor essential to its distinctive accent. For example, one recent WalletHub report list Boston as the third most caring city in the nation, while another names Massachusetts as the best U.S. state to live in. And the Bay State has excellent health care, with the highest childhood vaccination rates, lowest infant mortality and fewest premature avoidable deaths.

Want to sound just like a Bostonian? Start by dropping some of your R’s, as in “pahk the cah” and “wicked smaht.” Or listen to Ben Affleck turn on the telltale accent in his Dunkin’ commercials. Other famous Bostonians with perfect inflection include Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg and Amy Poehler.

Tax rises and benefit cuts are on the horizon as Reeves prepares the UK for a bad-news budget


The UK chancellor, Rachel Reeves, has made it clear that taxes will go up, and more cuts to welfare spending are on the horizon. The moves will be deeply unpopular and controversial − but in an extraordinary press conference ahead of the UK budget on November 26, Reeves made it clear that she believes both will be necessary.

In a highly unusual move, the chancellor used the press conference to set out her priorities for balancing the books while growing the economy. Notably, she did not mention the pledge in Labour's manifesto not to raise taxes on working people or increase national insurance, VAT or income tax.

Instead, she said her focus was on lowering the burden of excessive government borrowing and debt, improving public services and tackling the cost of living.

Reeves gave particular importance to sticking with her "iron-clad" fiscal rules. These, she argued, were essential for showing she is being responsible with the nation's finances and preventing a further rise in the cost of borrowing (the interest the government pays on its debt).

At more than £100 billion per year, this already makes up 10% of all government spending. The government's spending watchdog, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), projects the total to rise to £111 billion by the next financial year.

She also emphasised the importance of measures to boost UK productivity. Productivity forecasts are expected to be downgraded by the OBR, heaping yet more pressure on the chancellor's budget choices. Reeves questioned whether the forecast would accurately predict the future − but has accepted that she will have to work within the OBR's constraints in this year's budget.

The chancellor is right that there is a pressing need to boost productivity. But it is by no means certain that planned investment in things like housing, nuclear power and a third runway at Heathrow will yield big gains, at least in the near term.

 At the same time, she made it clear that to meet her budget target there will need to be cuts to public spending. Some cuts will come from more "efficiency" savings by government departments (that perennial option that all chancellors reach for).

But they will also come from tackling the UK's rapidly rising welfare budget, focusing on the large number of young people who are not in education, employment or training but depend on state benefits (so-called "Neets").

Any cuts to the welfare budget, as well as a failure to abolish the two-child benefit limit (although she is under pressure from colleagues to bite the bullet and axe it), will cause dismay within the parliamentary Labour party as well as many party activists.

As ever, the budget choices will be political as well as economic. Both the Conservatives and Reform UK will accuse Labour of breaking its manifesto promises. They will also claim Labour is undermining any chance of growth by raising taxes by a larger amount than any UK government has done in the last 50 years.

 At the same time, it will become even more difficult for Labour to manage its large but fractious parliamentary majority. Earlier this year, backbenchers forced the government to restore the winter fuel payment for some pensioners and abandon plans to cut personal independence payments for disabled claimants.

Local government elections, as well as elections to the Scottish and Welsh parliaments, are looming next May. Reeves risks further alienating Labour's grassroot supporters and pushing them towards smaller left-wing parties such as the Greens. They already seem to be pulling ahead of Labour among younger voters.

The stakes could not be higher. A bad result could even lead to questions about the future of both the chancellor and the prime minister Keir Starmer.

Finally, the chancellor's goal to cut the cost of living for working people does not seem particularly ambitious. Her suggested approach involves cutting energy costs by investing more in electricity generation, and reducing the cost of food by changing the business rates system to help small businesses.

Even if effective, these changes will take some time to work through and may not be enough to convince voters that Labour is on their side − particularly if inflation is not brought under control.

Reeves' appeal to the public to back her long-term approach to sorting out the British economy may be admirable. But the political risks to her personally − and Labour more broadly − remain considerable.
