One of the fastest-growing liquor brands in America is being recalled in Europe, while it
remains on store shelves in the U.S.
Fireball, a cinnamon flavored whisky enjoyed by many, has one ingredient that is also
found in several types of antifreeze. That one ingredient is out of compliance with
European regulations. The FDA approves the use of propylene glycol in the U.S. and
allows about 50 grams per kilogram of it in foods. Fireball Whisky uses less than an
eighth of that amount.

The leader of the Catholic Church faces mixed reactions due to his controversial
comments on evolution.
Pope Francis defended the Big Bang Theory, saying that when we read about creation in
the Book of Genesis, We run the risk of imagining God was a magician, with a magic
wand able to do everything. But that is not so.
He also stated that the Big Bang Theory does not contradict the creative intervention of
God.
