British Medical Journal: Previously secret documents reveal the truth about the tobacco industry:
"Previously secret internal tobacco industry documents - now publicly available - form the basis for three studies in this week's BMJ. They provide a unique insight into an industry determined to protect its commercial interests at the expense of world-wide public health:
Do candy cigarettes encourage young people to smoke?
"Operation Berkshire": the international tobacco companies'
conspiracy
A day in the life of an advertising man: review of internal
documents from the UK tobacco industry's principal

Schwarzenegger.com: Trailer för The 6th Day online! 4 augusti 2000
Se trailern för Arnolds nya rulle som har premiär i USA den 17 november.
"Directer Roger Spottiswoode (TOMORROW NEVER DIES, NORIEGA) has created a world of the very near future in which cattle, fish, and even the family pet can be cloned. But cloning humans is illegal -- that is until family man Adam Gibson (Arnold Schwarzenegger) comes home from work one day to find a clone has replaced him.
Taken from his family and plunged into a sinister world he doesn't understand, Gibson must not only save himself from the assassins who must now destroy him to protect their secret, but uncover who and what is behind the horrible things happening to him. THE 6TH DAY is the story of Gibson's struggle to reclaim his life and his family."
Schwarzenegger.com: Toasted & Roasted: Augusti
"Each month we'll post a humorous, insightful, or inspiring video clip from celebrities, dignitaries or anyone else whom has something to say about Arnold.
During an August 22, 1985 visit with Johnny Carson on NBC's THE TONIGHT SHOW to promote his film COMMANDO, Arnold was joined onstage by his former STAY HUNGRY co-star Ed Begley, Jr., who shared with the studio audience some little known facts about Austria's favorite son, including his early days as an actor."
Schwarzenegger.com: Information on Inner-City Games:
"It's no secret that Arnold owes so much in his life to his early involvement in athletics and physical fitness. As a kid, Arnold's desire to become the world's best at weight training made him focus on a specific goal while keeping active and constructive. Arnold feels very strongly that this type of committed focus can be of great help to kids who are at risk of becoming involved in gangs, drugs, and violence in their communities."
Du kan även se videoklipp från Arnolds besök i Philadelphia för att stödja Inner-City Games från den 3 augusti. Alltså igår - snabbt jobbat av schwarzenegger.com.
Webbloggen sväller...
För en vecka sedan delades webbloggen upp veckovis, annars skulle dokumenten ta för lång tid att ladda hem. Guess what - om jag ska börja lägga in bilder och logotyper så får webbloggen delas upp per dag i fortsättningen.
Eller så optimerar jag html-koden och bilderna för hastighet... Don't think so, too much work ;-)
Well, jag antar att så länge navigationen är logisk och sidorna laddas snabbt så är det ingen som protesterar, eller? Skicka ett brev till om ni har synpunkter.
"Vadå, jag tycker om er... Alla fyra."

Weeklywire: Powerlifter Mona Overstreet prepares to break several world records: 12 juli 1999
"It's half past 9 on a Sunday morning, the Lord's day of rest, but at the World Gym, Mona Overstreet, powerlifter, is hard at work. Instead of an organ, Axl Rose belts "Sweet Child of Mine" over the stereo. Instead of a robed choir, there are men in muscle tees, a sort of G-string for the torso. Instead of stained glass, there are mirrors everywhere. Yet in spite of this seeming sacrilege, in spite of all the neon and narcissism, there is a sense of serious work being done here. You don't get pecs or calves like this without commitment."
Themestream: Artiklar om soja:
- Should we be Scared of Soy? PART I
Research and other evidence suggests there's a dark side to eating too much soy. Take the study linking tofu to dementia. (Please!)
- Should we be Scared of Soy? PART II
There are credible biochemical reasons why soy could pose a threat - ironically, they're the very phytoestrogens that make it medicinal too.
- Should we be Scared of Soy? PART III
It's not just the threat of dementia. Soy can promote hypothyroidism; and an excess of plant estrogens could pose unknown developmental dangers to children.
- Should we be Scared of Soy? CONCLUSION
Soy, it seems, is a medicinal food that should be "used with care."

Themestream: The Easy Way Out (Healthy and Happy): 3 augusti 2000
"After 45 minutes of torture, I decide I haven't had enough and move to the next room to do 15 minutes of abdominal exercises. I am so out of shape that each time the teacher tells us to move our shoulders off the mat, my entire body shakes in a desperate attempt to please her.
I've been doing this horrifying schedule daily for six weeks and I haven't lost a pound or an inch. I don't feel energized and I'm definitely not hooked.
But I keep going.
Why? (Some might say it's called masochism, but I have a more sophisticated answer. At least this one makes me feel better.)
Nothing worthwhile is easy."
HealthCentral.com: NIH launches initiative to curb steroid abuse among teens: 14 april 2000
"The media view of steroids is that they are powerful and sexy. Kids are just not getting the message that steroids can be hazardous to your health. The best remedy is a 'team approach' with education through teachers and coaches," said Dr. Linn Goldberg of Oregon Health Sciences University, during a press conference here."

MSNBC.com: All you can eat: trouble at the buffet: 21 april 2000
"What do humans have in common with mice? Trouble at the buffet table. You can’t make a normal mouse overweight on regular lab chow – they automatically eat only the amount needed to maintain a healthy weight.
But scientists have found one way to make usually normal-weight mice overweight: the Cafeteria Diet."
Nerikes Allehanda: Kranar ska lyfta Idrottshuset: 4 december 1999
"Lyftkranarna från USA, Ryssland och Ukraina är på plats i Idrottshuset. Nej, det är inte så att det ska läggas nytt tak på anläggningen utan det handlar om världens bästa styrkelyftare. Möjligen kan det bli tal om att laga taket efter lördagens Mästarmöte. För om bjässarna bjuder till rejält, vilket de med all säkerhet gör, så kan de nog med hjälp av ett fullsatt idrottshus få taket att lyfta..."
