...despite Gharbi's innocuous characterization, and La Vie en Rose's romantic name, the prostitutes who plunk down cash and collect their keys at the beginning of their shifts describe their work as tough, lonely and often sordid.

We can't speak with certitude, since other names - probably the researchers', less likely other reviewers' - occasionally appear with...
...popcorn. But Strate says the notion that these "abrasive foods" exacerbate diverticulosis is simply "an evolved theory" founded on a belief that nuts and seeds can lodge in the diverticula, the pouches or bulges that form in weak parts of the colon wall, and give the disease its name...
