Eating ultra-processed meat is linked to an increased risk of early death.
A Harvard study over 30 years tracked more than 114,000 adults.
The highest risks were linked with the most processed meats such as sausages and ham.
Regular eaters had a 13% higher chance of dying over the 34 years tracked.
Diets high in sugary and artificially sweetened drinks had a 9% increased risk, the study found.
The used car market increased by 6.5% in the first quarter of the year, with sales of over 1.9 million vehicles, new figures show.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) says the total reveals the strongest start to a year since pre-pandemic 2019.
Sales of used hybrids also increased.
