Children may be more likely to develop type 1 diabetes if their mothers’ diets during pregnancy were rich in foods tied to low-grade inflammation, such as red meat and sugary drinks, a new study suggests.

The state would partially offset the cost by reducing spending on Medicaid and food assistance. The Republican-controlled US House of Representatives advanced President Donald Trump's tax and spending bill on Thursday, laying the groundwork for a possible passage of the legislation in a vote expected later in the day. The House voted 219 to 213 to move forward. This came after the House Republicans were straining past midnight to advance President Donald Trump's tax and spending cuts package. GOP leaders had spent the afternoon and evening working furiously to persuade sceptical holdouts to send it to his desk by the Fourth of July deadline. “Our way is to plow through and get it done,” House Speaker Mike Johnson said, emerging in the middle of the night from a ...
