According to a new study from the Cochrane Collaboration, an independent health-research
organization, people on diets that call for fiber-rich, complex-carb-loaded foods
like lentils, sweet potatoes and apples lost a little over two pounds more in
five weeks, compared with people on low-fat or other types of diets. These foods
rank low on the Glycemic Index (GI), which means they’re less likely to
cause blood sugar spikes and leave you feeling hungry.

A horse named Molly
Meet Molly. She's a gray speckled
pony who was abandoned by her owners in the wake of Katrina. She spent
weeks on her own before finally being rescued and taken to a farm where
abandoned animals were Stockpiled. While there, she was attacked by a
pit bull terrier, and almost died. Her gnawed right front leg became
infected and her vet went to LSU for help. But LSU was overwhelmed, and
this pony was a welfare case. You know how that goes.
