The World Health Organization (WHO) has deemed aspartame, a common artificial sweetener in diet drinks, a potential carcinogen. This conclusion is based on limited evidence linking artificially sweetened beverages to an increase in liver cancer cases. However, the FDA maintains that aspartame is safe.

Rising mortgage rates, high inflation, and a scarcity of affordable housing have led to an increase in eviction filings in American cities. Since the eviction moratorium expired, nearly 970,000 evictions have been filed nationwide, exacerbating the issue of homelessness. The housing market's current difficulty and the shortage of affordable units further compound this problem.

In Israel, startups are innovating to address the inhumane and inefficient mass slaughter of male chicks in the layer chicken industry. Soos Technology uses acoustic vibrations to induce male chicks to develop ovaries and hatch as female chicks capable of laying eggs. Ovo Technology utilizes the gene-editing tool CRISPR to detect and remove male eggs at an early stage. Poultry by Huminn has designed a chicken breed called Golda that exclusively lays female eggs through genomic editing. These technologies offer potential solutions to minimize the slaughter of male chicks while also reducing operational costs.

In summary, Tesla's impressive revenue performance, concerns over aspartame as a potential carcinogen, the surge in eviction filings exacerbating homelessness, and Israeli startups developing alternatives to mass slaughter in the chicken industry are among the significant developments in the economy, health, society, and technology realms.
