Doctors believe the elderly may lose some of their natural ability to regulate body weight. This would explain why older people are often unusually fat or unusually thin...
...must presumably distinguish between the good, official racism (which is polyunsaturated) and bad racism (which is the saturated fat of the redneck). Well, good racism does not drive out bad. It is weak-minded and dangerously innocent to think one can enlist an immoral principle (sorting out individuals by race) in the service of social justice. The battle against bad racism becomes (like the war in Vietnam) not only unwinnable but self-perpetuating. And worse: the effort to combat racism grows evil in itself...
...former California Senate candidate Michael Huffington waiting for the fat lady to sing? The Republican multimillionaire, whonarrowly lost to Democratic incumbentSen. Dianne Feinstein, refused last night -- 20 days after Election Day -- to concede, alleging voter fraud by illegal aliens who supposedly mailed in absentee ballots for Feinstein (He claims at least 75,000 documented cases so far, and he trails by 160,000 votes.) Appearing on CNN's "Larry King Live", Huffington said that if he finds sufficient evidence to back up the claim, he'll call for a new election; if not he may challenge Feinstein in the year...
...approach is to attack the root cause of heart disease: the family of lipoproteins that carry cholesterol through the bloodstream. There are two main kinds of lipoproteins: high density ("good") and low density ("bad.") As the bad lipoproteins travel through the body, they tear at arterial walls, forming a fat-filled scar tissue called plaque. Remove the irritants, and the arteries begin to heal...
Unfortunately, standard low-fat diets have only a modest effect on most people's blood-cholesterol levels, and, until recently, drugs were not much better. That changed in 1987, when the first of a new class of compounds -- called statins -- was approved for use in the U.S. Statins reduce cholesterol by blocking production of a key enzyme needed to manufacture lipoproteins. Scientists predicted that if a drug like simvastatin were put to a long-term test, it would reduce death rates by one-third...
