Walmart US said it would remove synthetic food dyes and other additives from its US house brands by 2027.

I saw this article and found it to be interesting to follow. It is published on CNN.com and albeit a reputable site, it also known to be biased which leads me to believe it loses credibility. I searched the article title in google and saw many other reputable sites, including Walmart.com, with the same claim.

According to Walmart, they intend to remove 30+ ingredients such as synthetic dyes, certain preservatives and fat substitutes from their brand. Years ago I did a report on how Walmart used its abuse of market power to make supplier demands. In this article, they are committing to "...reinforce their promise to deliver affordable food that families can feel good about."

Given the market share status and how they use it to their advantage and that this article has been published in many other reputable sites such as pbs.org, cbsnews.com, and nbc.com, I believe there is credibility in their claim.

I chose Dana Lynne Kaye. She posts mostly about health, fitness and life in general. She does a podcast regularly and promotes her protein brand, Devotion Nutrition.

Dana has a passion for helping others feel good about what they're putting in their body and creating options to help them do so. I may be a little biased because I have been following her for a couple of years and use her product on a daily basis. She is not as well-known as many others, but she works hard by posting daily and consistently traveling to events to help others on their wellness journeys.

Dana was raised in New Jersey and now resides in Florida with her husband, 3 children and beloved dog, Jagger. She is a third-generation business owner in the food industry. Her credentials are valid based on research via google. She is well-qualified to educate on health and fitness with a degree in business with a minor in exercise sports science according to Medium and other sources I've seen. She also spent most of her childhood by her mother's side as she battled a degenerative disease and sought help with a trainer.

As a CEO/Business Owner and fitness enthusiast, her brand will. continue to grow as she continues to create new products, advocate for and help others succeed in their battles with maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

I did have to search for a viral photo because I didn't organically see one that I thought to be fitting for the assignment. I saw this picture that has been "viral" since 1936 in newspapers and other sources of media.

It is said that this photo was taken during the Spanish Civil War immediately after this soldier was shot. My first thought was, "Who would be carrying a camera on the battlefield in 1936?" My father was born in 1927 and all of the cameras he has collected over the years were pretty large. The original claim was that the photo made its debut in the 23rd issue of the French magazine VU on September 23, 1936. The credit to the photo is said to be a soldier, Robert Capa. In a radio interview he said, "I was there in the trench with about twenty milicianos ... I just kind of put my camera above my head and even didn't look and clicked the picture, when they moved over the trench. And that was all. That camera which I hold above my head just caught a man at the moment when he was shot. That was probably the best picture I ever took. I never saw the picture in the frame because the camera was far above my head."

The photo became controversial over the years and deeply questioned in the 70's. No one could definitively answer the on-going question go whether "The Fallen Soldier" was staged or not. Coincidentally, in 2007, 3 boxes of negatives were found and despite the 100's of negatives found, this particular picture was not.

This still raises the validity of this specific photo, but based on other evidence in the time period, it is possible that this photo's claim is valid.

Com-301 "Look for previous work" assign.

I saw this piece on Facebook while scrolling through my feed. It seems really interesting, but unlikely so I took a screenshot earlier in the week to fact check later.

The first place I looked was google to see if any articles came up. I checked: "bee venom destroys breast cancer." I used their words to check for the proper keywords for an article outside of social media.

Google Ai verified recent findings in Australia, but also stated that they weren't substantial enough to prove the theory. They found that studies were done using a component of bee venom called melittin which is a small protein that seemed to target cancer cells with little harm to healthy cells.

I then checked an article from NIH.gov, a highly reputable source. The article verified that the bee venom protein, melittin, is a promising possibility in the near future, but there is not enough current evidence to prove its effectiveness or safety. A well-known, cited medical article is most likely reliable, but I will check one more site. Not to be cynical, but it is the government and as much as we'd like to believe everything they tell us is true, we can not.

As I searched through google's article option, I saw a few college and research articles. One from Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research and another from UCLA. I almost chose the one from UCLA, but realized the blurb was more about the spread of cancer than the findings of bee venom. I then chose the article from HPIM.org.au even though it was not in the states.

The article from Perkins in Australia was short, maybe not sufficient enough for a research paper, but summarized what I have read thus far. I believe I have seen enough to believe that we have some hope for a possible treatment for breast cancer in the future, but as of right now, there is not enough substantial evidence to prove it to be a viable option.
