(The Hill) — A new study has found that problems with gut bacteria could lie behind four major — and very different — childhood allergies.Eczema, hay fever, asthma and food allergies afflict more than a third of people worldwide.They are also increasing, with researchers blaming everything from shifting diets to overemphasizing hygiene.But in a study published on Tuesday in Nature Communications, Canadian researchers suggested another possible cause: disorders in the communities of tiny organisms living within the human gut.“Developing therapies that change these interactions during infancy may therefore prevent the development of all sorts of allergic diseases in childhood, which often last a lifetime,” pediatrics professor Stuart Turvey of the University of British Columbia said in a statement.

NEW YORK (AP) — Singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett, who popularized beach bum soft rock with the escapist Caribbean-flavored song “Margaritaville” and turned that celebration of loafing into an empire of restaurants, resorts and frozen concoctions, has died at the age of 76.“Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night of September 1st surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs,” a statement posted to Buffett's official website and social media pages said late Friday. “He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many.”The statement did not say where Buffett died or give a cause of death. Illness had forced him to reschedule concerts in May and Buffett acknowledged in social media posts that he had been hospitalized, but provided no specifics.

There’s no such thing as “just CBD oil.” Every CBD extract on today’s market goes through a slightly different refining process. For this reason, manufacturers have developed labels to describe the concentration of their hemp products.In previous posts, Real Tested CBD has gone through the unique features of full-spectrum and broad-spectrum goods. However, you may have also run across “distillate” and “isolate” during your CBD shopping experience. While these words rhyme, they don’t refer to the same product. To make an informed purchase, customers should have a basic understanding of the distinctions between these extracts.CBD Distillate vs. Isolate — What’s The Key Feature That Separates These Extracts?Without getting too complex, distillate is simply a less-refined version of CBD isolate. In fact, manufacturers have to put CBD isolate through a distillation process before using additional purification techniques.This doesn’t mean CBD distillate is “dirty,” it just means that ther...Home opener against top-20 opponent on national TV ‘awesome opportunity’ for San Jose State Spartans

SAN JOSE — There will be more eyes than usual on San Jose State’s football team for its home opener.A week after trailing No. 6 USC by just a touchdown at halftime in an eventual season-opening 56-28 loss in L.A., the Spartans will face another ranked opponent in No. 16 Oregon State. If that’s not enough, the game will be broadcast on CBS — San Jose State’s first regular-season game on the prestigious network in four decades — as part of a rare college football Sunday doubleheader.SJSU head coach Brent Brennan said it’s another challenge for his young team.“The difficulty is that you’re playing two really good teams right off the bat and you don’t know who you are as a football team yet,” Brennan said. “We’re still getting new players acclimated and into the fold and adjusted to the scheme. We’re playing some really young players and some guys in some different spots.”“I also think it’s an awesome opportunity … This group that’s coming...Latest news
