...monitors sound levels through microphones inside the plane walls. A computer initiates vibrations through special absorbers to counter those from the propellers, reducing the resonance of the airframe and hushing the cabin about 4 db quieter than many jets. ATR upgraded its four-blade propeller to a six-blade fiber-composite one with a smaller diameter that generates less vibration and cabin noise when coupled with other noise-dampening features...

CSPI estimates that replacing one 3.5-oz. serving of beef, one egg and a 1-oz. serving of cheese each day with an equivalent amount of fruits, vegetables and grains would cut your daily fat consumption and increase your fiber intake, all while conserving 1.8 acres of cropland and reducing animal waste by 11,400 lb. each year...
They first recruited a group of nine healthy adults and presented each with a list of eight beverages, which they were asked to rate in appeal on a scale of 1 to 5. The investigators then outfitted each participant with a headband equipped with fiber-optic strands that projected infrared light through the scalp and skull and into the prefrontal cortex, a brain area critical for processing preference. Infrared imaging is typically used to detect heat, which is just what the researchers were looking for. The volunteers were shown pictures of different pairs of drinks from their original list...
About one-third of U.S. children take vitamins or supplements, according to the study, which was part of the government's National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted between 1999 and 2004. Vitamin takers were more likely to be white; eat a low-cholesterol, high-fiber diet; come from a higher-income family; get plenty of exercise; and have better access to health care and health insurance. Which means that the bulk of these youngsters really didn't need supplements at all. (See the top 10 medical breakthroughs...
...There is this sense that we have a beauty contest of diets," says Katz. "But I don't think we are really obligated to chose between a low-glycemic diet and a high-fiber diet. There are benefits to combining them, for everyone." In other words, the bottom line is the same as it's always been: Eating a well-balanced diet - with enough fruits, veggies and low-fat protein, and restricting excess fat, sugar and processed foods - is probably the smartest choice for anyone, whether or not you have diabetes...
