  • ( ) Diet experts compare salt to a global plague

    But like so many things we love to eat in excess, such as foods prepared with saturated fats and refined sugars, eating a diet high in salt is hazardous to your health.

    "Worldwide, added salt almost certainly is killing more people than AIDS, malaria, terrorism, obesity, high cholesterol and tobacco," said James J. Kenney, registered dietitian, nutrition research specialist and author of continuing-education courses for registered dietitians/nutritionists at foodandhealth.com. "Yes, we like the taste of salt, but is it to die for?"

    Added Dr. Nicolaos E. Madias, professor of medicine at Tufts University School of Medicine and chairman of the Department of Medicine at Caritas St. Elizabeth's Medical Center, "If we live long enough, virtually all of us will develop hypertension [HTN]. More>>

  • ( ) Will stone-age saga be next hit?

    While publishers inevitably cast about for the "next J.K. Rowling," most aren't holding their breath.

    The odds-on favourite might be Michelle Paver, author of Chronicles of Ancient Darkness, a continuing, six-part saga set during the Stone Age.

    Paver, a 47-year-old graduate of Oxford University, received a $3.5 million advance in 2003 to write the books. Ridley Scott, director of Blade Runner and the forthcoming American Gangster, opening tomorrow, has optioned the entire series.

    Mind you, Paver has eschewed all comparisons to the creator of Harry Potter.

    "I'm not the next J.K. Rowling," she told England's Guardian newspaper earlier this year.

    "We've got one already. It's flattering to be compared to her. I like her books and loved the first three particularly, but apart from the fact that they've got boys as heroes, they're very different."
