Bread is a staple food in many households, yet researchers continue to study how certain types may influence body weight. While calories remain important, some studies suggest that bread weight gain may also be linked to how refined carbohydrates affect blood sugar, hunger, and fat storage. This may explain why some people gain weight even when calorie intake appears unchanged.The type of bread eaten, portion size, and overall diet pattern all matter. White bread and other refined options digest quickly, while whole grain versions often contain more fiber and nutrients. Understanding why bread causes weight gain can help people make…

You know things are going great when you feel the need to explain to Congress that the president is “very very sane.”  Such was the case for Heath Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who appeared before the House Education and Workforce Committee on Friday to defend his own record, and that of his increasingly erratic boss, Donald Trump.  During a round of questioning with Rep. Mark Takano (D-Calif.), Kennedy was asked if he would support invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from power should he fail a “mental-fitness test.” Kennedy responded that “there hasn’t been a president who is…

Yves here. Radhika Desai and Michael Hudson usefully go beyond the immediate cray-cray of the Iran conflict, particularly the blockade as part of the row to assert control of the Strait of Hormuz, to bigger picture issues, such as the jockeying of other players, such as China, Russia, the Saudis, Pakistan, Indonesia, and the ongoing damage to the global economy.

Every now and again, a movie will come along that genuinely makes you laugh out loud. Fackham Hall certainly ticks that box. A period satire that riffs heavily on the tone and classism found in the hit series Downton Abbey, Fackham Hall (say it out loud), ends up being a wonderfully funny time, with a good gag-to-laugh ratio. Set in the 1930s, the plot revolves around the Davenports, the wealthy aristocrats residing in the titular house. But the current generation of the family is made up of Lord Davenport (Damien Lewis), Lady Davenport ( Katherine Waterston), Rose (Thomasin McKenzie) and…

Marine Corps Lt. Gen. James H. Adams also revealed that the remnants of the Iranian regime remain in control and are expected to use asymmetric warfare against the U.S. and Israel while the conflict lasts. “Despite significant degradation of Iranian military capabilities through coalition strikes during Operation Epic Fury, Tehran retains thousands of missiles and one-way attack [unmanned aerial vehicles] capable of threatening U.S. and partner…

I am not one to give advice – political or moral – to Trump, especially as he is on the ropes in a midterm election year. As he and Vice President JD Vance belabor a war of words with the pope, anyone would ask why any officeholder, much less the president, would double down on images and statements that alienate voters of faith and other segments of the electorate whose turnout is critical to winning in November. But there are issues to understand that are much larger than politics.
