| HDL Cholesterol: Low Carb vs. Low Fat |
| A new study published in the August 3rd issue of Annals of Internal Medicine shows that low carb diets are more effective at boosting levels of HDL (good) cholesterol in very obese people (those with a BMI of 36) than low fat diets. This is good news for low carbers, as it bolsters their claim that eating low carb is not only an effective way to lose weight, but a harmless one, too. Naturally, the media are all over this study, and that's understandable. In response, dietitians from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) issued a statement noting that the people assigned the low-fat diet were in fact eating a calorie-restricted diet rather than a strictly low fat one. Their fat intake was limited to 30 percent of calories, which for many doesn't meet the definition of low fat. The committee also notes that more low carbers dropped out of the study than those on the calorie-restricted diet, and that in the end those on the low fat/calorie-restricted diet actually did a bit better in terms of triglyceride levels, LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol levels. Weight loss was about the same in both groups. Still, raising HDL cholesterol is a good thing, yes? Indeed, but the PCRM quotes low-fat guru Dean Ornish thus, "You don't need that many garbage trucks (HDL) if you don't have that much garbage (LDL)."HDL Cholesterol: Low Carb vs. Low Fat originally appeared on About.com Low Fat Cooking on Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010 at 16:53:14.Permalink | Comment | Email this |

| Easy Fat-Free Strawberry Freezer Jam |
| While strawberries were at their seasonal peak, I decided to make the most of their relative cheapness and buy fresh strawberries in bulk at the farmers' market. I've eaten so many of them this summer, I'm amazed my skin hasn't turned a permanent shade of red. Other than tossing them into a bowl and topping them with deliciously thick nonfat Greek yogurt, drizzling them with a lemon syrup, or macerating them in balsamic vinegar, I've made quite a lot of strawberry freezer jam. This recipe for easy strawberry freezer jam uses a particular brand of powdered pectin. If you use a different brand of pectin, you will need to follow the instructions on the back of the box. And if you want to make a jam with less sugar or a sugar substitute, you must buy a pectin that allows you to do so.

| Maiden Flight of the First US Airship (1923) |
| The USS Shenandoah was the first American-built rigid dirigible. Its design was based on a German zeppelin downed during WWI, and it was the first ship to be filled with helium—making it safer than hydrogen-filled crafts. A year after its maiden voyage, it became the first rigid airship to cross North America. While on another tour in 1925, it passed through a storm and was torn apart. Thirteen crew members died in the crash. How did those who survived the disaster manage to do so? |
