Researchers at the University of Parma tested breads made with 10%, 15% and 25% hemp flour (a mix of Felina 32 and Futura 75) and found clear and significant nutritional gains with modest impacts on flavor. Compared to standard wheat loaves, hemp-fortified breads delivered more protein, more polyunsaturated fats—especially linolenic (omega-3) and linoleic (omega-6) acids—and …

Cannabidiol (CBD) inhibits tumor growth in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), a highly aggressive form that lacks targeted treatments, according to a new study by researchers from Rangsit University and Mahidol University. The study was published in the Journal of Cannabis Research and indexed by the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
