Researchers have found a new mechanism in which an antibody can prevent allergic reactions in a broad range of patients. The antibody prevents the human allergy antibody (IgE) from attaching to cells, thus keeping all allergic symptoms from occurring, as reported in Nature Communications.

An analysis of nearly 320,000 medical records found that alcoholics who heavily used cannabis enjoyed an even lower chance of suffering alcoholic liver diseases than non-dependent cannabis users and patients who did not use pot. Cannabis users were less likely to get obesity and other comorbidities.
