#Experts rate 25 diet plans DASH Diet is best diet overall. The U s. News & World Report rated the Best Diets for 2012 this week,
including 25 different diet plans. The DASH Diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) was the winner.
The DASH Diet is a plan to prevent high blood pressure and it took the top spot in the Best Diets Overall category.
Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC), a diet that s high in fiber and low in fat,
developed by the National institutes of health, took second place. Mayo Clinic Diet, the Mediterranean, and Weight watchers all tied for third place overall.
Mayo Clinic Diet includes foods with low energy density such as fruits and vegetables, and allows dieters to eat more while eating fewer calories.
The Mediterranean plan includes whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy fats such as olive oil, and red wine in moderation.
Weight watchers focuses on portion control and encourages plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy.
A panel of 22 experts also rated the plans six other ways, such as best diabetes diet, best commercial plan,
and easiest diets to follow. David Katz, MD, MPH, founding director of the Yale university Prevention Research center,
and a panel member noted that, The diets near the top of the lists are sensible.#
#Those on the bottom we wouldn t recommend you choose.##Diets on the bottom of the overall list include the Dukan Diet, a high-protein, low-fat, low-carbohydrate plan,
and the Paleo Diet, which encourages eating like ancient hunter-gatherers, with fruits, vegetables, and animal proteins.
Those diets tied for last place. Before choosing, think of your priority, says panel member Andrea Giancoli, RD, a spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
Do you want most to eat better? Lose weight? Prevent or manage diabetes? The experts rated the diets in six other ways.
Easiest to follow: Weight watchers Jenny Craig Mediterranean For best weight-loss diets: Weight watchers Tied for second place were Biggest Loser, Jenny Craig,
and raw food. Biggest Loser focuses on weight loss and includes fruits, vegetables, lean proteins,
and whole grains. Jenny Craig is a commercial program that uses consultants and portion control, among other measures,
to help people lose weight and eat better. Raw-food diets focus on eating plant foods in unprocessed or uncooked states.
For best diets, commercial plans: Weight watchers Jenny Craig Biggest Loser For best diabetes diets: Biggest Loser and DASH tied for first place.
Mayo Clinic, Ornish, and vegan were tied next, all. The Ornish plan is a very low-fat diet for weight loss and prevention and reversal of health problems such as heart disease.
Vegan diets exclude meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy products. For best diets that are heart-healthy:
Ornish TLC DASH Best diets for healthy eating: DASH TLC Mediterranean Before picking a plan,
think about whether it will fit your lifestyle, Giancoli says. If the diet calls for you to prepare food,
think about whether you like or hate spending time in the kitchen. If you don t like it,
or don t have the time, a plan that doesn t require extensive food preparation may be better.

#Parasitic flies attack honeybees turning them into zombies Zombie#fly parasite causing decline of honeybee population.
A pile of dead bees was supposed to become food for a newly captured praying mantis. Instead, the pile of bees ended up revealing a previously unrecognized suspect in colony collapse disorder a mysterious condition that for several years has been causing declines in U s. honeybee populations,
which are needed to pollinate many important crops. This new potential culprit is a bizarre and potentially devastating parasitic fly that has been taking over the bodies of honeybees (Apis mellifera) in Northern California.
John Hafernik a biology professor at San francisco State university, had collected some belly-up bees from the ground underneath lights around the University s biology building.
A fly (Apocephalus borealis) had inserted its eggs into the bees, using their bodies as a home for its developing larvae.
Courtesy of John Hafernik The parasitic fly lays eggs in a bee s abdomen. Several days later, the parasitized bee bumbles out of the hives often at night on a solo mission to nowhere.

The goal of food security was achieved in 2040 and Qatar is now more than 85 percent self-sufficient in food production
and self sufficient in water thanks to an affordable osmosis from salt water technique perfected by a young Qatari student at Texas A&m University in 2028
Food in Qatar is assembled commonly by nanomachines. This food is externally indistinguishable from natural food.
It can be made more wholesome as production can be controlled at the molecular level phasing out the crude genetic modification.
This technology decouples food production from the availability of natural resources. It saves a huge cost,
enabling restaurants to spend more on high quality, tasty ingredients and gourmet cooking techniques. The assembly method also improves hygiene,
