Some may say that race does matter, although it shouldn't, and therefore we have to discuss it in order to diminish its impact. But this leads to a case of the chicken or the egg. Sure, we may need to study other ethnic groups to further assimilation, but in doing so we automatically stigmatize those groups we're studying. We study race because race matters, than we deny that race matters, then we study race more because we want to make sure ethnic groups aren't excluded by oversight. It becomes a never-ending cycle...
...those egg-white omelets, and for what? A new University of Washington study of 141 people who ate two eggs a day for three months shows that the effect on their cholesterol level was negligible. The report has prompted many scientists to reconsider the common assumption that eggs contribute to high cholesterol levels and, indirectly, to heart disease. "Ultimately, the most important thing is is to maintain a low-fat diet," says TIME's Janice Horowitz. "That means staying away from the butter and the bacon." So, by all means, have that eggs benedict--- just skip the hollandaise. The study...
...Medicine with German Christiane Nuesslein-Volhard. The three were recognized for work on genetic studies that could help explain birth defects and miscarriages. All three used that classroom staple, the fruit fly, as the basis of their experiments. "They found the genetic master control system for taking a fertilized egg and turning it into a fruit fly embryo," says medical writer Christine Gorman. Because the system exists in other species, she adds, "it explains a lot about the development of human embryos as well...
...comes to women's rights, there is no single "evil empire" that can be isolated and embargoed. Thanks to religious conservatism and official indifference, misogyny is making a comeback everywhere. Which is why the Beijing conference deserves to be treated as something more significant than the latest spot of egg on China's face. "Women of the world--and men of goodwill," should be the message from Beijing, "unite to defend women's rights...
...population. How does a woman decide what path to take in a sea of changing and conflicting information? Evidence strongly indicates a longer disease-free life-span with sustained independence in women on estrogen-replacement therapy compared with those who do not take estrogen. It seems there is an egg-size risk (breast cancer, uterine cancer) compared with a watermelon-size benefit (less heart disease, less disabling osteoporosis). One should never take a medication that has theoretical benefit in the future if it decreases the quality of life in the present. But seeing a hunched-over, frail woman shuffling behind...
