...hard to predict whether another toothless, albeit public, scolding will effect much of a response from the IOC, which has proved itself one of the world's most inept bureaucracies. The White House report advocates sweeping modifications: Creating an objective drug policy administrator, comprehensive out-of-competition testing, new labeling for dietary supplements and intensive international research.

Tuesday's report advises parents to wrap protective gear around their kids' limbs and to insist on helmets. Of course, the extra padding may not add to the all-important "cool" factor, but it could be the difference between a fall and a fatality...
...better diet: women are eating less red meat and fewer high-fat dairy products while chowing down on more of the good stuff, like fiber. The fact that more of them have kicked the smoking habit helps too. That's not to say the battle is over. Doctors report that if obesity were licked, heart disease would drop even further...
