As the Trump administration adjusts U.S. foreign policy to meet the challenges posed by the Chinese Communist Party’s expansive ambitions and Iran-backed terrorism, we should follow the example set by our farsighted predecessors. That’s why I’ve directed the State Department to ramp up critical-language study, beginning with Mandarin but also encompassing other critical languages such as Russian, Hindi, Arabic and Farsi.

The FODMAP theory states that eating foods high in FODMAPs causes an increased level of liquid and gas in the small and large intestine. This causes symptoms such as abdominal pain, gas, and bloating. It also causes diarrhea and constipation. Research indicates that there appears to be a cumulative effect of these foods on symptoms. In other words, eating more high-FODMAP foods at the same time will add up. This results in symptoms that you might not experience if you ate only one high-FODMAP food at a time....
