A chip a day keeps the doctor away

Article Abstract:

Recent debate about the development by Procter and Gamble of Olestra, an oil which has had its molecules altered so that it passes straight through the gut, leaving no calories in the body, has highlighted mixed views on the health impact of fat in food. It has been widely accepted for some time that a high fat diet can be damaging to the health, and a number of leading food manufacturers have been working on reducing fat while ensuring that the food is still palatable. However, recent research has found that low fat substitutes are not effective in prompting weight loss. The only way to really lose weight is to turn to foods which are naturally lower in fat.

Tackling a fatty issue

Article Abstract:

There has been growing emphasis over recent years on the importance of eating a low-fat diet. This is in fact a misguided approach, as fats and oils are a vital element of a healthy diet, along with whole foods and fresh vegetables. Consumers are receiving many confusing messages about dietary fats, and most are unaware that the two essential fats are Omega 3 and Omega 6. Most fats and oils which are currently widely available are much too highly processed, and this is why efforts should be made to encourage the wider availability of real oils.

Voyage to the centre of the mind

Article Abstract:

There have been significant advances in research into the detailed workings of the brain over recent years. Indeed, some researchers believe that it could soon be possible to identify the parts of the brain responsible for apparent intangibles such as feelings and dreams. There has been particular progress at the Maudsley hospital in London, England, where researchers have been able to take pictures of the precise area of the brain which is activated when a person experiences disgust.
