GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida State fired coach Billy Napier on Sunday, a day after an error-riddled win against Mississippi State that included some head-scratching calls and the kind of offensive lull that characterized most of his four years with the Gators. Athletic director Scott Stricklin made the decision after it looked like the Bulldogs were going to lose hard with a 23-21 win until defensive tackle Michai Boileau picked off a pass with 21 seconds left and the Bulldogs came within field goal range. The game-clinching score gave the Swamps a boost, but the home crowd quickly turned on…

The focus is on promoting lower sugar items in people’s food intake, particularly in soft drinks.

According to JAMA, researchers tested more than 900 adults who drink soda…
