Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

A new study shows that healthier diets could reduce colorectal cancer in men, however, women did not have similar results.

A study carried out by a group of researchers from the United States and South Korea, which was published in BMC Medicine, discovered that a plant-based diet may significantly reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.

The research included 173,427 people from various ethnic backgrounds.  Men who ate a healthy plant-based diet had decreased rates of colorectal cancer, according to the findings, which were obtained after an average follow-up period of slightly over 19 years.

The study's female participants did not experience the same advantages.

Researchers discovered that males who consumed healthy plant-based diets had a 22% lower chance of getting colorectal cancer.

When compared to groups that identified as African American and Latino, the Japanese-American, Native Hawaiian, and white people had higher differences in the health benefits for men.

The study had certain drawbacks, but according to Mona S. Jhaveri, PhD, it has tremendous relevance for examining strategies to prevent cancer.

“I think, in this study, what excites me the most is that it’s actually a method of [prevention,]” Jhaveri said. “And what I see in my world, in the biotech world. Is: we focus a lot on cures and treatments. And what the public really, in my opinion, seeks are ways to prevent cancer or screen for it.”

The researchers hypothesized that women generally consumed a better diet than males. They contend that because women had healthier diets overall at the outset, the effects of eating more healthful foods would be less pronounced than in males.

There are some limitations to the study that the researchers have noted, including the potential need for more research on the relationship between a dairy and fish diet and the risk of colon cancer.
