Dubya at a press conference too. They should do a split screen when they televise these things. One
camera at W and one at Karl Rove cringing in the corner ;-)
As for the diet thing, the February issue of Discover magazine has a good article about diet based
on real science for a teaser see:
http://www.discover.com/issues/feb-04/features/science-diet/
Chairman of the department of Nutrition a the Harvard School of Public Health, Walter Willett wrote
a book "Eat Drink and Be Healthy: The Harvard Medical School Guide to Healthy Eating" based on the
research. The Discover article includes a comparison of the Harvard, Ornish (vegetarian) and
Atkin's diets. All three look to limit blood glucose spikes, but the Harvard diet sounds (IMO) like
a more sensible long term diet. For me, I'm working on the "No Corn" diet, not particularly of my
own choosing. This last year I realized I'm allergic to corn. I don't get a rash or asthma, lets
just say its more GI related. Corn chips, corn on the cob, popcorn. Obvious right? Add hominy,
pollenta, most breakfast cereals and baked goods, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup (no more
Power Bars or Coke), corn starch, modified food starch (they don't tell you if its wheat, potato,
or corn starch on most labels) dextrin and dextrose-both derived from corn, and caramel coloring
also from corn. A lot of high calorie processed foods are made with corn products. No more cooking
from a can. Gotta watch it at restaurants too. I even had to change my chocolate chip cookie recipe
since baking powder has corn starch as the first ingredient. Still lots of junk I can eat, but its
harder now. Its just easier to grab a few carrots or a V8. Probably wouldn't be a popular diet in
Nebraska or Iowa.
