...concerns about health over vanity. By a doctor's standard, even a 5% to 10% reduction in body weight can make a big difference to a patient's health. On that level, at least, there's little doubt anti-obesity medications can help. The BMJ (formerly the British Medical Journal) paper, a comprehensive review of 30 controlled trials on anti-obesity drugs, showed unambiguously that orlistat (Xenical), sibutramine (Meridia) and rimonabant (Acomplia) all resulted in weight loss - but the drugs' benefits extended beyond that. In one four-year trial, orlistat reduced the incidence of type 2 diabetes by almost...
...haven for India's Muslims in 1947, the multicultural and multiracial Adventures was even regarded as vaguely suspect. "It reminded Pakistanis of a cultural identity that undercut their religious one," says Farooqi. "It needed to be ignored." But Farooqi, thankfully, could not ignore it.

Or he just might call on Jack Welch, who retired years back as CEO of General Electric but has yet to be replaced in the Lee Iacocca Chair as America's semiofficial Business...
...implications were chilling. Since the mid-1990s, the words mad-cow disease had turned beef eaters around the world to tofu tasters as people began to die of the human variant of the disease. Then in 2004 came another disturbing report in the medical journal the Lancet: variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (VCJD), as the illness is properly called, could be spread through blood transfusions. With no way to test for the incurable illness except in the brain samples of the dead, how to ensure the safety of the world's blood supply...
...face-off between Blanque and Tyson highlights a sharp divergence in risk perceptions at the board session, which also included Moises Naim, formerly Venezuela's Trade and Industry Minister, who is editor of the Washington-based journal Foreign Policy; Fang Xinghai, the deputy chief executive of the Shanghai Stock Exchange; and Slawomir Sikora, president of Poland's Bank Handlowy w Warszawie--now part of Citigroup...
