...Julian Whitaker, the editor of Health and Healing, and Carol Colman, the authors of Shed 10 Years in 10 Weeks (Simon & Schuster), think that if you're going to be eating, you should concentrate on the essentials. They believe that U.S. government RDAs (recommended daily allowances) of vitamins and minerals are inadequate. Instead, the authors recommend what they have named the ODA (optimal daily allowance) of those vital substances, supplemented with New Age natural nostrums, such as omega-3 oils and ginkgo biloba.

For women over 35, doctors usually recommend more invasive procedures in which actual fetal cells are gathered from the womb's amniotic fluid (amniocentesis) or placenta (chorionic villus sampling...
...chilling record of ongoing personal treachery. What is surprising is how many contemporary Americans find Tripp's conduct as hellish as Dante would have. We live at a far remove from the medieval poet's moral cosmology. Where he prescribed eternal damnation and torture, we are inclined to recommend therapy, to empathize, to view the malefactor as a victim...
