5 Things: About Fat
08/06/2007Much maligned, fat is here to stay. Here are 5 things about this macronutrient that you should know. Listed in no particular order, here goes:
1. A gram of fat contains 9 calories. In contrast, carbs and protein only have 4 calories per gram. In other words, you can eat twice as many carbs or protein for the same amount of calories.
2. The RDI for fat in adults is 20%-35% of total daily calories. That's about 44 to 77 grams of fat a day if you eat 2,000 calories a day.
3. It is recommended that saturated fats (animal fat, butter, coconut and palm oils) should make up less than 10% of your total calories per day. For a person eating 2000 calories a day, this would be 20 grams of saturated fat or less per day.
4. A pound of body fat burns 2 calories per day where as a pound of muscle burns about 50 calories per day.
5. Fats are vital to your health. They transport oxygen to every cell in your body, and they are the basis for every hormone, brain, and nervous system function.
Ukrainian crowned world's tallest man
Ukrainian Leonid Stadnyk has now officially become the world's tallest man standing at a towering 8ft 5ins in tall. Measuring an impressive 8ins taller than the previous record holder, Mongolia's Bao Xishun, it has long been suspected that Stadnyk should hold the official title of the world's tallest man. The towering giant who lives in Podoliantsi, a tiny village in Ukraine has called his height 'God's biggest punishment for me' and refuses to look in the mirror. His extraordinary growth spurt started at the age of 14 after surgery on a benign brain tumor stimulated his pituitary gland, which is responsible for generating the hormones that boost growth.With more photos.

Man videotape inappropriate shots of a young girl
Videotape of girl destroyed
Man warned after taping inappropriate shots
August 08, 2007
YORK — Police urge caution and a sharp eye, after officers last week asked a man to destroy a videotape he had taken of a girl at Short Sands Beach. Police said it is not a crime to videotape people, and so the man was not arrested.
During the afternoon of Aug. 1, a woman notified police that a man was videotaping her daughter at the beach. According to police, a 50-year-old male was taking video of the girl as she was talking on her cell phone. When police officers viewed the video, they noted that it contained inappropriate close-up shots of portions of the girl's body.
Officers asked the man to destroy the video, which he did. They also warned the subject not to return to Short Sand Park.Police Sgt. Thomas Baran said that the girl's mother acted appropriately by reporting the incident.
"We would encourage people to report this type of activity," he said.While there is no law against videotaping, Baran said any seemingly suspicious attention given to children could be cause for concern. He also said that the lifeguards at York's beaches are being trained to recognize behavior typical to pedophiles."It is important that we can identify these people," he said.
Second Opinion
A man runs into the vet's office carrying his dog, screaming for help. The vet rushes him back to an examination room and has him put his dog down on the examination table. The vet examines the still, limp body and after a few moments tells the man that his dog, regrettably, is dead. The man, clearly agitated and not willing to accept this, demands a second opinion.
The vet goes into the back room and comes out with a cat and puts the cat down next to the dog's body. The cat sniffs the body, walks from head to tail poking and sniffing the dog's body and finally looks at the vet and meows. The vet looks at the man and says, "I'm sorry, but the cat thinks that your dog is dead too."
The man is still unwilling to accept that his dog is dead.
The vet brings in a black Labrador. The lab sniffs the body, walks from head to tail, and finally looks at the vet and barks. The vet looks at the man and says, "I'm sorry, but the lab thinks your dog is dead too."
The man, finally resigned to the diagnosis, thanks the vet and asks how much he owes. The vet answers, "$650."
"$650 to tell me my dog is dead?" exclaimed the man...
"Well," the vet replies, "I would only have charged you $50 for my initial diagnosis. The additional $600 was for the cat scan and lab tests."

Your kids will eat veggies if you put them in a McDonald's wrapper
August 07, 2007
Does the same exact food taste better when it’s in McDonald’s packaging?
It sure does, according to preschoolers.
A new report in the August issue of Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine found that preschool children preferred the taste of food in McDonald’s packaging to the taste of the same exact food in unbranded packaging.
“Food marketing to children is widespread. The food and beverage industries spend more than $10 billion per year to market to children in the United States,” according to background information in the article.
The article says that by age 2, children may already have beliefs about certain brands and 2- to -6-year-olds can recognize brands and associate them with products.
"You see a McDonald's label and kids start salivating," said Diane Levin, a childhood development specialist who campaigns against advertising to children. She had no role in the research.
Levin said it was "the first study I know of that has shown so simply and clearly what's going on with (marketing to) young children."
