French food emporium Fauchon also relies on herbal and floral notes for its Rose Petal, Toulouse Violet, Raspberry Chili Pepper and Mandarin Orange-Ginger ice creams. At New York City's Il Laboratorio del Gelato, Jon F. Snyder, who grew up working in his grandmother's Carvel franchise, makes 75 rotating varieties of intensely flavored ice creams and sorbets with selections like Lavender, Rice, Green Grape and a Black Plum that tastes fruitier than the actual fruit. --By Lisa McLaughlin
...would if you had a Merck Manual handy. The second edition of the comprehensive Home Edition just hit the New York Times best-seller list. A major rewrite of the original 1997 volume, it covers everything from lice to osteoarthritis and has 35 new chapters on such topics as herbal supplements, female sexual dysfunction and how to get the most out of a visit to your doctor.

In the winter of 2002, says a butler, Uday demanded that his aides bring him a woman who had just had a baby. When the mother, in her 20s, with golden-brown hair and a henna-colored skirt and matching shirt, arrived, Uday sucked her nipples for what he believed would be vitamin-rich milk...
Finally, a word about the different types of tea. There is only one true tea plant, Camellia sinensis. (Herbal teas are made from other plants.) The main varieties--black, green and oolong--reflect different processing techniques. If tea is in fact an immune booster, you would expect all three varieties to be equally effective since they are all broken down by the body into molecules that mimic bacterial proteins. There are differences, however, in the types and amounts of disease-preventing antioxidants various teas contain. Green tea has more of the chemically simpler antioxidants called catechins, whereas black tea contains...
