“Despite being the traditionally high-performing quarter, California's local one-cent sales and use tax receipts saw a marked decrease.

Key Points: 
  • “Despite being the traditionally high-performing quarter, California's local one-cent sales and use tax receipts saw a marked decrease.
  • This decline reflects consumer challenges balancing higher prices and financing costs with essential household needs,” reports Andy Nickerson, President/CEO of HdL Companies, the leading provider of revenue enhancement, technology, and consulting services for local governments.
  • Sales of general consumer goods faced lackluster results during the holiday shopping period, declining by 3.4%.
  • As the Federal Reserve considers a delay in softening rates, HdL Companies anticipates consumer spending may continue to stagnate, delaying a return to normal historical growth trends in 2024.

CEDAR KNOLLS, N.J., April 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Americans are increasingly aware of the impact of cholesterol on heart health and well-being, but for decades, there have been conflicting headlines about which foods can have positive or negative effects. Eggs, in particular, have often received negative press related to cholesterol. However, a new study presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session that was led by researchers at Duke and sponsored by Eggland's Best, offers promising new evidence on fortified eggs.

Key Points: 
  • The clinical trial studied 140 participants from a broadly generalized population who had a high risk of heart disease.
  • Researchers randomized participants into two groups, asking half to eat two or fewer eggs per week for four months.
  • Ultimately, the study found that over 4 months, eating Eggland's Best eggs resulted in no adverse effects on lipid profiles and markers of cardiovascular risk for these patients.
  • The consumption of Eggland's Best eggs may also increase Vitamin B12 levels, also helping to support a healthier lifestyle.

DAVIS, Calif., Dec. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent study published online in the journal, Nutrients[1], suggests daily tree nut consumption reduces the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetSx) by improving waist circumference, lipid biomarkers, and/or insulin levels, without requiring calorie restriction, in young adults.

Key Points: 
  • Males who consumed tree nuts snacks had decreased blood insulin levels (-1.14 ± 1.41 mIU/L, P = 0.05).
  • "When we assessed the effect of tree nut snacks on individual MetSx scores (calculated by assigning 1 point for each metabolic syndrome risk factor)," said Principal Investigator,
    Heidi J.
  • "Substituting typical high carbohydrate snacks with tree nuts (almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamias, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios and walnuts) would likely have a positive impact in reducing the risk of metabolic syndrome and its consequences in this age group."
  • Consumption of tree nuts as snacks reduces metabolic syndrome risk in young adults: A randomized trial.
