...gift. I use it to write about anything, often topics of great personal meaning to me. A typical entry will run 2,000 to 5,000 words, and I vet all the comments so we aren't plagued with the half-witted immaturity of so many blogs. I also respond top a lot of them. A discussion of Evolution vs. Creationism has so far topped 3,000 literate, thoughtful comments across three entries. Darwin is one of my heroes...
...first detailed analysis comparing how our systems respond to glucose (which is made when the body breaks down starches such as carbohydrates) and fructose, (the type of sugar found naturally in fruits), researchers at the University of California Davis report in the Journal of Clinical Investigation that consuming too much fructose can actually put you at greater risk of developing heart disease and diabetes than ingesting similar amounts of glucose.

Prior to the festivities in Qingdao this week, Admiral Gary Roughead, the U.S. Chief of Naval Operations, visited his counterpart in Beijing, Vice Admiral Wu. There, the two talked up the two nation's cooperation in combating Somali pirates, but that wasn't the real point of the meeting. For years, the Pentagon has been frustrated by China's secrecy over its military budgeting and its intentions. The U.S. brass simply doesn't believe Beijing when it says its defense spending...
