A study published in the British Medical Journal finds people who consume high amounts of these foods have an increased risk of anxiety, depression, obesity, metabolic syndrome, certain cancers including colorectal cancer and premature death.

The data come from more than 9 million people who participated in dozens of studies, which researchers analyzed as part of umbrella review.

I have read several articles like this one.

They all seem to be saying that there is a "crisis in cosmology", where different measurements can't reconcile what the value of the hubble constant is.

Then I watched this video last night that seems to be saying it's all just tweaking different models.

I'm not entirely sure if they're talking about two slightly different things. (Hubble's constant, and the predicted age of the universe.) Or if the "crisis" is really just a misunderstanding, or just clickbait tactics. Any informed opinions on the subject?
