Japan's Ishiba Vows Action on Health as Record Heat Grips Nation
Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba pledged to boost public health protections as the country grapples with a severe heat wave that has seen the national temperature record broken twice in recent days. Temperatures in Isesaki City, about 90 kilometers (56 miles) northwest of Tokyo, rose to 41.8C (107F) on Tuesday, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency. That followed a reading of 41.2C in Hyogo prefecture, in western Japan, on July 30, which topped a previous extreme first recorded in 2018.

Americans Are Eating Slightly Less Ultraprocessed Food, C.D.C. Data Shows
Data released Thursday from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggested that people in the United States were eating slightly fewer calories from ultraprocessed foods compared with previous years, but nutrition experts caution that this decrease is far from a public health win. It's still true that more than half of the daily calories Americans consume come from ultraprocessed foods, defined as those made via industrial methods or with ingredients, like high-fructose corn syrup or hydrogenated oils, that you wouldn't typically find in home kitchens. The new data showed that, on average, 53 percent of the calories adults consumed each day between 2021 and 2023 were from ultraprocessed foods. That share was down from an average of 56 percent between 2017 and 2018. For children up to age 18, that figure was about 62 percent — down from about 66 percent. The numbers come from the most recent data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, or NHANES. The survey, which the C.D.C. has been conducting since the 1960s, collects information about Americans' health and diets. This is the first C.D.C. report of its kind on ultraprocessed food consumption, said Anne M. Williams, a nutrition researcher at the agency and the report's lead author. The report comes as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, has warned of the dangers of ultraprocessed foods, a major talking point in his 'Make America Healthy Again' movement. Because the new data accounts only for Americans' eating habits through 2023, they do not reflect the MAHA movement's most recent messaging about ultraprocessed foods. Want all of The Times?

Boil water notice issued to some Malibu residents
Los Angeles County Waterworks officials issued a boil water notice for some Malibu residents Wednesday afternoon. The alert applies to residents west of Corral Canyon Road and Solstice Canyon Road, but excludes homes at Trancas and Latigo Canyons. Officials said they issued the advisory as a precautionary measure to avoid potential stomach or intestinal issues due to possible contaminants in the water system. LA County Waterworks advised residents to boil their water for at least one minute before drinking, using it for cooking, brushing their teeth, or preparing food. The department said a Caltrans bridge replacement project at Solstice Canyon Creek caused a low-pressure event prior to the advisory. Officials have opened a free bottled water distribution site at the LA County Waterworks District No. 29 Headquarters, located at 23533 Civic Center Way, Malibu, CA 90265. It is open today until 8 p.m. and reopens on Thursday. Until further notice, the water distribution site will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., beginning August 7. Officials will notify residents when the water quality has been tested and confirmed safe.
