...already in use in the Z-Carb bar as well as in Carbolite's new At Last! bars. But obstacles to further industry growth remain. For one thing, there's uncertainty about which products can legitimately be labeled as "low" or "lite" in carbohydrate content. The industry claims fiber and sugar alcohols that don't affect insulin levels shouldn't be counted as regular carbohydrates. But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration says a carb is a carb and has sent letters chastising companies, including Carbolite, for misbranding their products. After spending $500,000 last year trying to persuade...
There was more than blue skies over the white cliffs of Dover last week when FELIX BAUMGARTNER jumped from a plane at 30,000 ft. With a 6-ft., carbon-fiber wing strapped to his back and a supply of oxygen handy, the Austrian stuntman glided the 22 miles to Calais, France, reaching speeds of 217 m.p.h. Of his 14-min. jaunt, he remarked, "It's very cold up there...
...medication. Writing in the current issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers at the University of Toronto describe an experiment that compared three different regimens: a vegetarian diet low in saturated fats; the same diet supplemented with a statin drug (in this case, lovastatin); and a fiber-rich vegetarian diet consisting of foods chosen for their known cholesterol-lowering effects (such as oats, barley, soy protein and almonds) as well as a type of margarine enriched with plant sterols (cholesterol-lowering compounds found naturally in leafy green vegetables and vegetable oils...
...results? The low-fat diet reduced LDL cholesterol levels 8%. The same diet with lovastatin reduced cholesterol 31%. The fiber-and sterol-rich diet reduced cholesterol levels 29%--almost the same amount. The magnitude of the reduction is what is so encouraging, says lead author Dr. David Jenkins. "These are food components that research over 25 years has established as having cholesterol-lowering properties," he explains. "What we didn't know, but have now shown, is that their effect is actually additive...
...Growth in some Western countries might be struggling, but Schwartz argues that technological advances and management innovations point to rising productivity levels and a "Long Boom" ahead. Thanks to further trade integration through globalization, quantum computers up to 100 million times as powerful as today's PCs, and widespread fiber-optic broadband by 2015, he estimates that "we will probably come close to a doubling of the overall standard of living throughout the world in a generation." The globe's second-most-powerful economy in 2020? China. Prediction No. 2: The U.S. doctrine of preemptive strikes and increasing unilateralism will...
