Xylitol, a sugar alcohol added to foods, beverages and oral care products as a sweetener, has been linked to an increased risk of stroke and heart attack, a new study has found. The sweetener is commonly found in products such as chewing gum, toothpaste, jam, yoghurt and ice cream. This was revealed in a press release published by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) ahead of their annual congress in Munich, Germany, which runs from 28 to 31 August. Researchers found that people with higher levels of xylitol in their blood had a greater risk of major cardiovascular events –…

Dogs and humans may share some of the same biological patterns tied to lifespan, according to new research from the Dog Aging Project. The finding could give scientists a useful new way to investigate how aging works in both species. In a study recently published in The Journals of Gerontology, researchers examined metabolites, small chemicals and molecules created during normal processes in the body. They found that certain combinations of these metabolites were associated with earlier or later death in dogs in ways that closely resembled patterns previously identified in humans. “The molecules that are risky for dogs or protective…

Andoni Iraola escaped defeat on his Anfield debut as Liverpool manager thanks to Victor Munoz’s strike to salvage a 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest. Forest were set to win at Anfield for the third consecutive season as Dan Ndoye and Morgan Gibbs-White’s penalty twice put the visitors in front. Alexander Isak briefly brought Iraola’s men level in the second half before Munoz’s deflected effort rescued a late point for the second time in Iraola’s two matches in charge. Liverpool will hope to have Bradley Barcola to unleash by the time they are next in action at Ipswich on Friday. The…

It’s a legacy that Parton built quietly in the background as she presided over pop culture for more than six decades.”The biggest thing that I like is the fact that she didn’t do anything for recognition,” said Geoff Blacklin, 67, of Manitoba, Canada.He and his wife signed up their grandchildren for Imagination Library after a local doctor brought the programme to their region.”She gave families more than books,” Blacklin said. “She gave children a love of reading, precious moments with loved ones, and opportunities to learn and dream.”Such family stories and gratitude would undoubtedly have been music to Parton’s ears;…

By Temitope Lakisokun Osun State was created thirty-five years ago, but what if I told you the state was born, indirectly, from an insult. Yes, really. In 1945, Chief Salami Agbaje, one of the wealthiest Nigerians of his generation, wanted a double promotion in Ibadan’s elaborate chieftaincy hierarchy. Agbaje was no ordinary chief. He was an early beneficiary of the changing colonial economy. He understood the possibilities of banking, international trade, cash crops, education, property and enterprise, and had accumulated a fortune that made him an unusually influential figure in the city. He was the first Ibadan man to own…

The death of war criminal Ratko Mladic made headlines across the world. “The Butcher of Bosnia dies in The Hague”, the international media announced, seemingly suggesting that justice has been served at least in his case.Nothing changed on November 22, 2017 when he was sentenced by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) to life in prison for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes committed in Bosnia more than 10 years earlier. Nothing will change now after his death.Contrary to what some may think, the world will not become a better place now.I hate writing this sentence, but…
