    Pizza is largely behind the jump in cheese consumption . . .  


    Dr. Neal Barnard has a theory about why some people are eating more cheese. "It's addictive," said Barnard.

    Cheese appears to be addictive because it contains casein. . . 


    "Casein breaks apart in your digestive tract to release casomorphines," Barnard said. "These are opiates."

    It is shaped like a billy club, about a foot long, covered in high-density fabric. . . 


    "When using as an alternative discipline device for children, do not use a clubbing motion. Skim the skin with an adequate inward force with just the surface of the tip."


    "Testing within the recommended amount of contact with this product did not produce any welts, bruising, chafing or any sign of trauma visible to the skin other than redness." 


    "It's really just a harmless way of getting a small child's attention"










  • With 11th Bride, King Alarms Health Workers


    MBABANE (Reuters) - Swaziland's King Mswati III has chosen a 17-year-old girl to become his 11th wife, alarming health workers . . .


    Ntentensa was chosen by Mswati last year after he reviewed videotapes of semi-naked maidens. . .


    Women's rights activists and AIDS campaigners have criticized Mswati's latest choice of a new bride, which comes despite his own order two years ago that teenage girls should remain virgins. . .

    "The act of taking my own life is not something I am doing without a lot of thought. I don't believe that people should take their own lives without deep and thoughtful reflection over a considerable period of time. I do believe strongly, however, that the right to do so is one of the most fundamental rights that anyone in a free society should have. For me much of the world makes no sense, but my feelings about what I am doing ring loud and clear to an inner ear and a place where there is no self, only calm . Love always, Wendy."
