Indeed, several international studies, including one published by Harvard University, say that raw coca is loaded with protein, calcium, iron and a range of vitamins. As a result, Morales has encouraged a local industry, with an eye to exporting, that is turning coca into everything from flour to toothpaste, shampoo and curative lotions. (Morales sent Fidel Castro a coca cake for his 80th birthday last year.) Even as the INCB was issuing its report, the Bolivian government was reaffirming its desire to increase Bolivia's legal coca crop limit from 12,000 hectares (30,000 acres) to 20,000 hectares...

A study of 1,179 postmenopausal women published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition last year found that women who took calcium and 1,100 I.U. of vitamin D daily had 80% fewer cancers than women who took a placebo or calcium alone...
...than not leave ugly traces of tape, shreds of paper, and endless staples piled upon Wigglesworth archway corkboards. What’s more, chalk is environmentally sound.

Chalk—mere calcium carbonate and pigment—eventually washes away into the wastewater system harmless to the environment, whereas posters liberated by the wind clog drains and choke urban wastewater systems. In New York City, a subway safety study even found that stray posters and newspapers were a leading cause of track...
Harvard Medical School researchers who followed the dietary intake of almost 30,000 women for 10 years have found that consuming calcium and Vitamin D can reduce the risk of high blood pressure. The study, which was published this month in the American Heart Association’s Hypertension Journal, showed that middle-aged women who regularly drank low-fat milk have a significantly lower chance of having hypertension risks than women who didn’t drink milk on a daily basis. JoAnn E. Manson ’75, a Medical School professor and the chair of preventive medicine...
...French Culinary Institute. In his Manhattan classroom, he trolls the Web for old medical equipment that he can rig into appliances chefs don't even know they need yet: rotary evaporators, vacuum pumps, thermal circulators. His cooking shelves look like a pharmacy, filled with bottles of powder: guar gum, calcium lactate, sodium alginate. Until recently, he carried 20 ft. (6 m) of rope with him at all times, just in case he needed to MacGyver something...
