Waistline...

A study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that trying to aim for 30 grams of fiber daily can not only help your waistline shrink, it can also lower blood pressure and improve your body’s insulin response.

Researchers divided 240 participants into two groups where one group followed the American Heart Association’s diet, which is comprised mostly of high-fiber foods such as fruits and vegetables as well as lean proteins, while the other group was solely instructed to consume 30 grams of fiber each day.

While each group averaged a 19-gram daily fiber intake, the group following the AHA diet lost 1.3 pounds more than the high-fiber group.

Both groups were able to maintain their weight loss for a year following the experiment, which proves that adding a significant amount of fiber to your daily diet can result in maintainable weight loss.

“In addition to weight control, higher-fiber diets can also help to prevent type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease,” fiber sources should come mostly from food rather than supplements.

Naaa...

The Wall Street Journal reported that a lawyer for Donald Trump paid an adult-film actress $130,000 one month before the 2016 election in exchange for her silence about an alleged sexual encounter with the then-candidate 10 years earlier.

The Journal reported that the lawyer, Michael Cohen, used pseudonyms and a private company to mask the exchange. Stephanie Clifford, stage name Stormy Daniels, says the liaison was consensual.

It’s not the sex, it’s the secrecy. Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... It is the sex.

Bardot...

French former actor Brigitte Bardot has joined Catherine Deneuve in expressing distaste for women in the film industry who complain of sexual harassment, saying “in the vast majority of cases” it is “hypocritical, ridiculous and uninteresting”.
In an interview with Paris Match, Bardot said: “Many actresses flirt with producers to get a role. Then when they tell the story afterwards, they say they have been harassed … in actual fact, rather than benefit them, it only harms them.”

Saying that she had never been a victim of sexual harassment, Bardot added: “I thought it was nice to be told that I was beautiful or that I had a pretty little ass. This kind of compliment is nice.”

Bardot becomes the second high-profile French film industry figure to come out in recent days against the campaign against harassment in the industry.

What cause the vast difference here?

“The Democratic Party are not going to win elections until they do right by the American people.

The measure presented by Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and Sanders would have allowed pharmaceutical distributors and pharmacists to import low-cost medicine from Canada and other countries.  That is lacking in the Open Market Condition that we talk about it all the time.

Democratic Sens. Michael Bennet - Co, Bob Menendez and Cory Booker -NJ, Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray -WA, Tom Carper and Chris Coons- DE, Bob Casey PA, Joe Donnelly- IN, Martin Heinrich -NM, Heidi Heitkamp -ND, Jon Tester -MO and Mark Warner - VA all voted against it.
