New research out this past week raised an even bigger red flag about junk food and the amount people are eating
The study on "ultra-processed" foods, items that contain numerous ingredients with no nutritional value, found a myriad of health risks for people who consume these products. 
It linked the consumption of common snacks and other products to cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, depression, and anxiety. It also cites that nearly 58 percent of all calories consumed by Americans come from ultra-processed items. 
Registered dietitian nutritionist, author, and adjunct professor of nutrition at NYU, Dr. Lisa Young, joined host Lisa Brady on the FOX News Rundown to discuss the study and the risks involved in eating these foods.
Dr. Young discussed why "ultra-processed" foods have become such a big part of the American diet and how people can work on cutting back on them.
We made edits for time and thought you might like to hear more about this study that highlights the dangers of junk food. On today’s FOX News Rundown Extra, you’ll hear our entire conversation with Dr. Lisa Young and learn more about eating healthy and what diet habits can be helpful.

This week, the Supreme Court heard arguments surrounding former President Trump's immunity from criminal prosecution about his alleged plot to overturn the 2020 election. The justices weighed whether or not the former President is immune from liability for official executive acts during his presidency. Former Federal Prosecutor Jim Trusty previously represented former President Trump. He reviews the Supreme Court's handling of the historic case and examines the precedent the justices could set.

The outcome of the 2024 Presidential Election will boil down to a few select states. Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy is investing a lot of time and attention toward swing state voters and recently secured a spot on Michigan's ballot. As Kennedy aims to do the same in other battleground states, he's generating concern among his Democrat and Republican presidential opponents. Republican Strategist and Co-Founder of South & Hill Strategies Colin Reed discusses the strengths and weaknesses of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign and evaluates the problems it poses to the campaigns of President Biden and former President Trump.

From Washington: Setting The Precedent Of Presidential Immunity

Earlier this week, FOX News Senior Foreign Affairs Correspondent Greg Palkot spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv.
Palkot sat down with him Wednesday, just hours after the U.S. Congress approved a $95 billion foreign aid package, that includes $60 billion intended to assist his country in their ongoing war with Russia.
The two discussed how Ukraine would spend the money, the state of the war, and why Zelenskyy thinks U.S. taxpayers should understand the importance of Ukraine’s struggle against Russian President Vladimir Putin.
It was a long conversation as he weighed in on many topics including the ongoing war in the Middle East and whether he thinks he could work with President Donald Trump if he is reelected this November.
We made some edits for time and thought you might want to hear the whole thing – especially since there’s a lot of great stuff we did not include in our original segment.
On Today’s FOX News Rundown you’ll hear all of Greg Palkot’s incredible conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymy Zelensky.

Extra: More From Ukrainian President Zelenskyy

Pro-Palestinian protests continue across college campuses, as hundreds of American students demand a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas War. Though many protesters claim they're standing to prevent genocide, there are also many spewing antisemitic threats, leaving Jewish students fearing for their safety. As the Biden Administration attempts to condemn antisemitic behavior and support Israel while also discouraging acts that harm innocent civilians, what will the Administration's next moves be? Retired Army Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg discusses how the Israeli government could conduct a military operation with as little collateral damage as possible, the likelihood of conflict expanding in the Middle East, and the probability of a two-state solution.

Congress delivered after months of starts and stops, with the House and Senate giving final approval to a 95 billion dollar international aid package that will provide critical weapons to Ukraine, Israel, and partners in the Indo-Pacific. While praised by most, this new bill could come at a cost to House Speaker Mike Johnson's speakership amid threats of a motion to vacate the chair. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram explains how this piece of legislation survived being in limbo since the fall.

Evening Edition: Autism Acceptance Month: Early Intervention Key In Language Development

The Supreme Court heard arguments this week in former President Trump’s immunity case. The former President’s attorney D. John Sauer argued that a President should be immune from prosecution when it pertains to “official acts” of the office. The Department of Justice has argued that creating presidential immunity would create a slippery slope, encouraging future presidents to commit crimes without fear of persecution. FOX News Sunday Anchor and "Livin’ The Bream" podcast host Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to discuss what she took away from the arguments, what precedent could be set if the Court sides with the defense, and what could be coming next for the former President.
