Both men and women 50 or older should step up their calcium intake from about 1,000 mg a day to at least 1,200 mg. That's a lot. An 8-oz. glass of milk contains about 300 mg, an equal amount of yogurt the same. Hard cheese and calcium-fortified orange juice are helpful, as are soft-shell crabs and the bones of small fish. The general rule applies here too: consume as much calcium as you can through food, but for many it is hard to eat sardine skeletons daily...
Null has similar problems when he ventures beyond disease and offers advice on beauty and aging. One daily protocol he suggests for hair care calls for consuming more than 6,500 mg of a dozen different preparations, plus 6 oz. of sea vegetables and six glasses of dark-green vegetable juice. Most people would probably prefer just to switch shampoos. "Show me a single clinical trial that suggests this represents a rational approach," says Jeffrey Blumberg, professor of nutrition at Tufts University...

The liquids probably flush away carcinogens and keep urine diluted so toxins make less contact with the bladder wall. Half a gallon a day may sound like a lot to swallow, but it's only about three glasses more than most people already drink...
...last couple of Muppet movies have seen only minor success, but there are plenty of fans out there and children's movies are always welcome mid-summer.

...movie world of many worlds, where humans interact with other intergalactic species, it just makes sense that live action should consort with puppeteering (Yoda is still voiced and manipulated by Frank Oz) and digital auteurism. So, yes, there must be real actors. It takes a real actor to stand on a bare stage and pretend it's the gigantic Galactic Senate, or to have an argument with an invisible junkman. And it takes a trusting actor to endure the secrecy attending a Star Wars production...
