MSNBC article on Atkins Diet

Atkins diet beats low-fat fare

Happy to see a mainstream study on the Atkins diet. As I've been saying here for awhile, they should actually study the diet BEFORE saying it's unhealthy. Unfortunately, the people conducting the study approached The Atkins Center for funding. I think that taints the study but you may not hear that from the establishment because they may not be too happy to discuss how almost all of the medical studies are funded...

Israeli Builders want to build artificial islands off the Mediterranean Cosat

The New Scientist reports on this latest Artificial Island. This is a growing trend and I think it's great. But then I always enjoy being around water.

Apparently HALF the people with heart disease have normal cholesterol levels!!! This is shocking news...how did we just notice this now? And doesn't this mean the establishment used a bit of overkill in their recommendations?

50% of World Plants near extinction

Yahoo! News - World Plants Near Extinction Close to 50 Pct.-Study

Although I tend to be extremely skeptical of these types of figures, I could believe this one. I read that there are 22,000 varieties of edible fruits in the world, most in the tropical rainforests. Too bad that our diet only consists of about a dozen.... But even moreso, too bad about what is going on there...
