A man has been questioned by police at LaGuardia airport in New York after smuggling a monkey onto a flight from Florida by hiding it under his hat.
Passengers spotted the animal when it climbed out and perched on the man’s ponytail, Spirit Airlines spokeswoman Alison Russell told reporters.
Children with diabetes need to eat the same nutritious food that other family members should be eating.
- They won’t be on a “diet.”
- They can eat everything in moderation – including foods containing sugar.
- Special diabetic and dietetic foods are not necessary.
But people with diabetes need to watch:
An international team of astronomers has discovered the largest known planet orbiting another star.
The “transiting” planet – meaning one that passes in front of its parent star as seen from Earth – is about 70% larger than Jupiter.
But the new body has a much lower mass than Jupiter – the biggest planet in our Solar System – making it of extremely low density.
Women who are obese when they conceive are more likely to have babies with birth defects than are mothers of normal weight, a US study suggests.
The relevant birth defects include missing limbs and malformed hearts.
Smaller scale studies in the past have suggested this link, but this is said to be the largest and most comprehensive study to date.
There are both good fats and bad fats.
We’ll commence this section by pinpointing the major “fat faults” in the typical western diet today (not listed in specific order), then look at how to address these faults in your diet:
The truth is, and ongoing research is proving this more and more almost by the month, that the human body actually requires fat for health and longevity. Lack of fats, and lack of specific types of fats, are complicit in many, many diseases and ailments afflicting modern man.
Every cell in the human body requires fats for metabolic function.
Low fat diets, low fat recipe books and manufactured low fat foods are everywhere these days. Yet probably nothing in the area of nutrition, diets and weight loss has been so misunderstood as dietary fats.
The confusion is understandable. More is known today about different types of fats than was the case even a decade ago. The ideas about fats that were accepted by the experts twenty or thirty years ago are now largely recognized to be seriously erroneous, yet it takes many years – maybe even a generation or two – before new scientific knowledge becomes common knowledge.
There is no shortage of ‘old wive’s tales’ regarding diets. What may have come to seem like common sense through repetition over the generations, or through product marketing, are commonly nothing but diet myths. Some of these well intentioned diet myths can, in fact be very harmful to not only your weight loss goals, but more importantly to your overall health. Some of these diet myths are addressed below:

If you enjoy reading your morning paper while sipping a cup (or two) of coffee, it seems there’s no reason to stop. Mounting evidence suggests that, for most people, drinking coffee does more good than harm.
It wasn’t long ago when coffee was linked to heart disease, osteoporosis, infertility and pancreatic cancer. Now research suggests that if you drink enough of it, you’ll lower the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, asthma, gallstones, Parkinson’s disease, liver cancer and possibly colon cancer. And you’ll feel more alert and work out harder at the gym.
Nissan – We Detect Whether A Driver Has Been Drinking
05 Aug
Posted by Inna Korshunova as Amusing news
Japanese carmaker Nissan has unveiled new technology designed to detect whether a driver has been drinking.
It includes odour sensors that monitor breath, detectors which analyse perspiration of the palms, and a camera that checks alertness by eye scan.
If the system thinks a driver has drunk too much, the car will not start.
