The data, published in the July issue of the Journal of Endocrine Society, looked at the effect of three daily 500 milligram (mg) doses of cinnamon over the course of 12 weeks. All 54 study participants were considered prediabetic, but only 27 received cinnamon in capsule form. The rest received a placebo. After 12 weeks, people on the placebo had higher fasting blood glucose—the mount of sugar in the blood after an overnight fast—but levels in people consuming cinnamon remained stable....

Weldon made the wild claim during a recent appearance on the far-right and pro-QAnon podcast Up Front in The Prophetic. Host Francine Fosdick mentioned that another conspiracy theorist named Gene “Decode” Cosensei claimed that Clinton had been “eliminated a long time ago” following a “tribunal” in 2018. Weldon agreed that Clinton was dead, but had different ideas about the timing and manner of her death. “Yeah, she passed a long time ago,” Weldon said in a video shared on Friday by Right Wing Watch, a project of the progressive group People for the American Way....

The Frenchman put on a show in front of his raucous home crowd in the company’s first ever event in the country. Barring a wild moment in the second round in which Tuivasa’s trademark power sat Gane on his backside, it was a striking clinic from the number one contender. Tuivasa’s mid-section took an absolute beating as Gane landed kick after kick to slow “Bam Bam” down. Tuivasa looked like he might be folded several times but fought on bravely and even threatened to pull off an unlikely victory after catching Gane with a right hand in the second round....

The team will allow Citi Field to serve as a COVID-19 vaccination hub that’s opening to all New Yorkers beginning the week of Jan. 25, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Tuesday. The “24/7” vaccination site will look to jab as many as 7,000 people with the vaccine each day. “It’s Amazin’ news, you might say,” de Blasio said in a Tuesday news conference. “This is going to be fantastic. This is going to help so many people to get vaccinated....

Excavations at Camp Nelson in central Kentucky have revealed the remnants of a 150-year-old photography studio—which was once part of a Union camp—the first ever found at Civil War site. Among the many items discovered by researcher Stephen McBride and his team were several broken glass bottles that once contained hair dye, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported. The researchers from Transylvania University in Lexington initially thought that the bottles were used to hold medicine....

Weymouth: Why did you write the book? Thomas: It started when my brother died. I suddenly realized I’m the last person in the house. There’s nobody left who is going to tell the story. We both revered our grandfather. We were his biggest cheerleaders. Although he didn’t sound so nice when he kicked you out of his house. I think he did the right thing. I think it was a kick in the pants....

“Ema Kozin has a nice record of 21-0-1 and says she has spent a year preparing for me,” Shields told The Sporting News. “And with all that hard work I’m going to show her that it’s still not enough to beat me.

I haven’t even been 100% focused on boxing but watch how good I look when I come back....

I’ve interviewed Gary Johnson. I think he is a decent guy and he was a pretty good governor, actually, but he was a terrible presidential candidate. Forgetting he doesn’t know Aleppo and this and that, I knew he would have gotten mauled no matter what. I actually publicly supported him because my feeling was, “Hey, let’s just get this guy on stage one time. Trump’s going to beat him senseless....

Conte had made no secret of the fact that he was planning to implement the system at some stage but the abysmal first half against Arsenal forced him to speed up his plans. David Luiz and Gary Cahill looked far more assured with the extra help of Cesar Azpilicueta, while Marcos Alonso put in a masterful performance at left wingback and Victor Moses continued his resurgence on the opposite flank....

No. 3 Clemson was in full control at Boston College, leading 21-3 at the end of the first quarter. But after the Tigers grabbed a 35-3 lead on wide receiver Deon Cain’s 16-yard touchdown in the third quarter, the Clemson coach called for an onside kick on the ensuing kickoff. MORE: College football Week 6 picks Check it out: The kick was after Cain’s second touchdown of the game, as Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson had thrown for four scores....

Even if Boulware did, he probably doesn’t care. Clemson just won the national championship, after all, and the Tigers exacted revenge on Alabama to do it. All that notwithstanding, the Tigers senior linebacker just had to go and make it weird, didn’t he? GEAR: Get your Clemson championship apparel here No, Ben, don’t do it. Don’t do it. Eeewwww.

“I could probably run for governor in Michigan and have a chance,” Swinney said on a conference call Monday morning. Why does Swinney think he’d have a chance? Because he keeps offending the Ohio State fan base and he figures Michigan fans must be grateful for that. Swinney recently ranked Ohio State No. 11 in his vote of the USA Today Coaches’ Poll. Before speculating about a gubernatorial race, Swinney explained that, too....

Finding another Deshaun Watson was never in the cards for Clemson, but coach Dabo Swinney has found another way for his team to be a national title contender. Swinney, with the help of a tremendously talented and deep roster that he and his staff recruited, has modeled his team after his College Football Playoff rival: Nick Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide.

The game is at the Allstate Sugar Bowl at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:45 p.m. on ESPN. Clemson (10-1) is back in the CFP for the sixth consecutive season under coach Dabo Swinney. Trevor Lawrence is 34-1 as a starter, and the Tigers are looking for a third straight and fifth overall appearance in the championship game. Ohio State (6-0) won a fourth consecutive Big Ten championship despite having three games canceled because of COVID-19 concerns....

This is not a majority made from cookie-cutter liberals. These are men and women winning in districts that were drawn for Republicans. Some are pro-life, some pro-gun, some sound so Republican they might be in the other party if it weren’t for President Bush and the Iraq war. It will take all of Pelosi’s skills as a manager and disciplinarian to forge a coalition out of these philosophical disparities....

Climate change was one of several topics the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) explored in its most recent annual threat assessment, which was publicly released on Tuesday. After providing an overview of the threats posed by China, Russia, Iran and North Korea, the ODNI report examined climate change and migration as two topics of national security interest. In the climate change section, the report pointed to record temperatures reported throughout 2020 and last year’s storm season, which the ODNI wrote struck Central America “particularly hard....

In a landmark ruling, the United Nations Human Rights Committee (HRC) sided with New Zealand courts in their decision to reject the asylum application of a Pacific Islander who cited the forces of climate change as his reason for seeking refuge in the neighboring country. Ioane Teitiota had initially brought his case to the human rights committee in February 2016 after New Zealand courts denied his asylum request as a “climate refugee” and deported him back to Kiribati, a neighboring country in the central Pacific Ocean, in September 2015, according to Amnesty International....

If you have lung cancer, participating in a clinical trial might allow you to receive an innovative therapy that isn’t yet available to the public. Sometimes, medicine offered through a clinical trial is a lung cancer patient’s best option for survival. While there are both pros and cons to participating in a research study, people with lung cancer may want to consider it. What Is a Clinical Trial? A clinical trial is a research study that tests how safe and effective a certain approach is at preventing, diagnosing, or treating a disease....
