...panel urged immediate and "intensive" treatment of those at risk, beginning with a lowfat, low-cholesterol diet. Such a regimen usually emphasizes fruits and vegetables, substitutes chicken, fish and lean meats for fatty ones, and encourages the use of polyunsaturated oil for cooking. For patients who fail to respond to diet, cholesterol-lowering drugs are advised. Further cautions: Do not smoke, exercise regularly and control your weight...
...treatment become necessary to reduce the risk of heart disease? For three days last week the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., convened a panel of 14 experts to try to answer these questions. The group reviewed the extensive scientific evidence linking high levels of cholesterol and fatty diet to heart disease, the leading cause of death in the U.S. They heard testimony from dozens of people and then retired to draft a report, working into the early hours of the morning. The result is the most far-reaching recommendation yet made on the subject of cholesterol and heart...
...evidence. They show that Eppinger helped plan a series of human experiments conducted at Dachau in 1944. The research sought to find a way of making saltwater potable for pilots stranded at sea. In Eppinger's experiments, 44 gypsies were kept for up to a week on a diet consisting of sea water. Some were given seawater containing a chemical called berkatite, which disguised the salty taste.

That law makes it illegal to hunt pinnipeds like sea lions, elephant seals and sea otters, all staples of an adult shark's diet. Fifteen elephant seals lived in the Red Triangle area in 1961; by 1984 there were 5,000. The sea lion population has been increasing by 5% a year. As a result, Great Whites seem to be responding to boom times in their food supply by producing larger litters more rapidly. And though Great Whites...
