...opponents--including newly aroused parents--and you'll hear horror stories of reformers dumping the most basic algorithms, or first-graders turning to a calculator to subtract 4 from 6, or "math" textbooks featuring lessons on endangered species and the Dogon people of West Africa. "Whole math," says molecular biologist Michael McKeown, "means less material covered in less depth with less rigor." Early last year, McKeown co-founded Mathematically Correct, a Website based in San Diego ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/mathman/ that has become the nerve center for the counterinsurgency. Here parents like Marianne Jennings of Mesa, Ariz., share dispatches from the front...
HEART HELPER Angina patients who take a newer form of the blood-thinning drug heparin (called low-molecular-weight heparin) have a much smaller risk of heart attack or early death than those treated with standard heparin...

But the evidence points to a shortage of vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and folic acid, all of which work to convert the amino acid into a molecular form the body can use. The answer for people concerned about cardiac health would seem to be for them to keep their intake of the protective vitamins high. The Harvard Health Letter has recommended increasing consumption of a range of foods--including leafy green vegetables, beans, peas, grains and certain meats and dairy foods--to keep homocysteine in check.
