O Canada, don't you know maple is for pancakes, not for drinking (the scene from Super Troopers not withstanding)? I picked this up out of sheer curiosity as I frequently do, but once I did a bit of research (after I try something new I like to look up if it's going to kill me) I found out this is supposed to be healthy!

Actually, it’s not accurate to compare these to Cheetos, because they really have nothing in common other than texture. According to the package they are made 70% out of peas and are even shaped to resemble pea pods just in case you forgot what you were eating. I'm also quite impressed with the wasab

By Viviana Cetola With Life News Today — October 2025 For generations, multiple sclerosis has been a disease of frustration, a slow unraveling of the nervous system where the body turns against itself. But in two university labs separated by 1,700 miles, a pair of molecules may be writing a new chapter in how we think about healing. At the University of California, Riverside, neuroscientist Seema Tiwari-Woodruff and her team have spent years asking one question: Can damaged n

Alexander Fernandez A legacy neglected Imagine Abraham Lincoln’s handwritten Gettysburg Address stored away in a forgotten vault, its ink fading and its paper softening under a bloom of mold. Imagine an original Shakespeare manuscript left among stacks of books on the floor, exposed to dust, moisture, and time. As unlikely as this may seem, preservation specialists and internal audits indicate that some historically significant materials housed at the Library of Congress face

By Alexander Fernandez Reporter with Life News Today In 2011, long before a global pandemic tested national preparedness and cyberattacks targeted the nation’s infrastructure, a handful of junior officers at United States Strategic Command gathered in a windowless room in Omaha, Nebraska, facing a blank contingency planning template. Their assignment was to design a mock operation using the Joint Operation Planning and Execution System (JOPES), the framework the Pentagon used

Malawians delivered a dramatic political comeback this month, electing former president Peter Mutharika and unseating incumbent Lazarus Chakwera in a vote widely seen as a referendum on government performance and economic survival. Once the British protectorate of Nyasaland, Malawi gained independence in 1964 and adopted a 1994 constitution establishing a presidential republic with an independent judiciary and electoral commission. Its democracy has been tested repeatedly, in

Bougainvilleans turned out in force this week for an election that could shape the region’s final steps toward independence from Papua New Guinea. The vote for president and a new House of Representatives comes six years after the 2019 referendum, when an overwhelming 98.3 percent of voters endorsed independence — a result that still awaits ratification by PNG’s national parliament before full sovereignty can be achieved. The region’s path has been marked by decades of strugg

Guyana’s September 1 general election served as both a test of democracy and a measure of how the country manages its oil-fueled economic boom, which has made it one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. Once known as British Guiana, the nation gained independence in 1966 and became a republic in 1970. Its politics have long been shaped by ethnic divisions — with Indo-Guyanese voters generally backing the People’s Progressive Party/Civic, and Afro-Guyanese supporting
