Then came the news that taking benign foods like vegetable and peanut oils and hydrogenating them--a process that stiffens them to make stick margarine, peanut butter and solid shortening--transforms them into substances known as trans-fatty acids, which can drive LDL and triglyceride levels through the roof. Trans-fatty acids are not technically fats, which means, astonishingly, that a food labeled FAT FREE may be bursting with stuff that can give you heart disease.

It give us one blue creature who's benign (Kelsey Grammer's hirsute Hank McCoy, head of the Ministry of Mutant Affairs) and one blue meanie (Rebecca Romijn's Mystique).

It was an inauspicious start to Gyanendra's reign, and he did little to raise the country's spirits. While Birendra was perceived as benign, Gyanendra made clear from the start that he believed the royal family had given up too much influence. Beginning in October 2002, he sacked a succession of Prime Ministers, then seized power for himself 15 months ago in a coup backed by the army, vowing to crush the Maoists...
