...garage-rock movement continues to slather its greasy mixture of hipster apathy and commercial aspiration all over mainstream radio and magazine covers, another movement is bubbling just below a neon Spandex surface. It has finally arrived, with refreshing intelligence and flair, in the form of OK Go. The Chicago-based group’s eponymous disc meshes its tweaked guitars with rebel yells, resulting in one of the year’s best debuts...
...every few years, persistently bucking the skepticism of mainstream nutritionists. Could it really be, as Atkins argues, that low-fat diets, which are typically high in carbohydrates, are bad and that low-carbohydrate diets, which often contain considerable fat, are good? Is it really O.K., as Atkins advocates, to slather mayonnaise all over salmon and tuna and douse asparagus and lobster with butter while friends look on in envy? Shades of the 1973 movie Sleeper, in which Woody Allen plays a 20th century Rip Van Winkle who awakens after a couple of hundred years to a world in which fatty...
...business-siders, of course, will probably pretend that it is, and slather on another layer of hype, glory, postmortem get-togethers, affiliate appearances and product placements next season. Forgive them - this thing practically saved their whole network, after...
...Slather on the epithets--Food Nazi, Twinkie Taxer, Nutrition Nanny. Michael Jacobson, nemesis of the multibillion-dollar U.S. food industry, relishes the attention. In the three decades since the soft-spoken microbiologist co-founded the Washington-based Center for Science in the Public Interest, he has enraged the restaurant industry (fettuccine Alfredo: "a heart attack on a plate"), forced a ban on sulfites at salad bars after a rash of fatal allergic reactions, shamed McDonald's into excising beef tallow from its French fryers, roused moviegoers against artery-clogging coconut oil in popcorn and successfully lobbied for nutrition labels...
RICKETS RESURFACES Talk about a paradox. Breast-feeding mothers who actually listen to their pediatrician and slather their kids with sunscreen may be creating another problem: vitamin D deficiency. Fortified formula and sunlight are two excellent sources of the nutrient, and now researchers say that rickets--a bone-weakening disease linked to lack of D--is on the rise in children. You might consider supplementing mother's milk with formula or giving your child a multi-vitamin containing D. Caution: too much D--more than 400 IUs from all sources daily--is toxic to toddlers...
