US President Donald Trump has imposed a 50% additional tariff on Canadian goods by invoking the 100-year-old Section 338 of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930. The move targets over $20 billion worth of products including cement, wine, and furniture, citing discriminatory trade practices by Canada against US auto and dairy sectors. While energy and critical minerals are temporarily exempt, the decision has sparked fears of a global trade war and supply chain disruptions. The tariffs are set to take effect from August 19. https://www.newscontinuous.com/international/trump-canada-tariff-100-year-old-law-trump-attacks-canada-with-50-tariff-invokes-100yearold-smoothawley-law-citing-discrimination/

Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is popular for weight loss, but understanding its scientific basis is crucial. According to expert Dr. Anu Agarwal, ACV helps manage weight by suppressing appetite and controlling blood sugar rather than directly burning fat. Studies indicate minor weight reduction over 12 weeks when paired with a balanced diet. It must be diluted (1-2 spoons in water) to prevent damage to tooth enamel and the throat. People with kidney issues or ulcers should avoid it. While not a miracle cure, it acts as a supplement to a healthy lifestyle. https://bhartiyanews24x7.net/%E0%A4%9C%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%82%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%A4-%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%80-%E0%A4%96%E0%A4%AC%E0%A4%B0-%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%BE-acv-%E0%A4%B8%E0%A4%9A%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%9A-%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%9C/
