...study will involve 600 subjects who doctors believe run a 7.5% to 15% risk of having a heart attack or stroke in the next five years, regardless of age. None of them will have cholesterol levels or blood pressure that would qualify them for treatment under current guidelines, just mild to moderate elevation in their readings across multiple risk factors.

His Brittany-based company, Marinoë, markets a range of seaweed edibles, from red dulse, a sweet-tasting seaweed that grows on rocks, to wakame pasta, made from a mild-flavored kelp. Plan enthuses, "it's a food with a future." And you thought it was just slime...
