Last time I went to the store, I spotted these doughnuts in flavors such as Hawaiian Punch, Orange Crush, and Dr Pepper. At first, I was curious and somewhat puzzled: Why would anyone think to pair soda flavors with doughnuts?
Ultimately I'm not sure what to think of this concept; I'm inclined to believe that food and beverage companies are running out of novelty ideas.

To me, the screwdriver is a pretty boring drink. Vodka mixed with orange juice is plain, unoriginal, and dull. However with a little innovation, it can be turned into a deliciously complex concoction.

Last night in London, Kimberley Walsh attended The 2009 Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women of the Year Awards wearing a beautiful crystal and white peep-hole dress and her hair styled elegantly in loose waves. However, what I liked most was her contrasting smoky eyes and nude lipstick. A few days ago, we saw her at a BBC event in bright tomato-orange red lipstick, and last month, she was spotted at a fashion event in a crushed creamy cranberry lip colour.

Cancer
Growing evidence suggests that vitamins and micronutrients, especially from foods, may play important roles in the prevention or treatment of certain cancers:
- One study found that the risk of prostate cancer risk dropped as consumption of vegetables high in vitamin C, such as broccoli and bell peppers, rose.
- A diet high in cruciferous vegetables has been found to reduce the risk of kidney cancer; low consumption of cruciferous vegetables increases the risk.
On the other hand, high amounts of folic acid (a B vitamin) may be associated with colorectal cancer, and beta-carotene supplements are associated with increased lung cancer risk in smokers and people exposed to asbestos.
Macular Degeneration
In 2007, the National Eye Institute recommended that people with intermediate or advanced macular degeneration in one eye take a vitamin formula shown to reduce the risk of macular degeneration in the other eye by 25%. The formula contains vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and zinc.

I have a new girl crush. Not only is she the brand ambassador for one of my favorite West Coast brands, Hurley, I'm sure you saw she won the title of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover girl of 2009. How jaw-dropping gorgeous is she?

Connection to endometrial cancer
Excess estrogen appears to play a role in the development of both gallstones and endometrial cancer. One study found that women who had undergone cholecystectomy (surgery to remove the gallbladder) had a 50% increased risk of developing endometrial cancer. The connection was weaker in women who developed asymptomatic gallstones.

Angioplasty Versus Drugs
Angioplasty works no better than drug therapy (high blood pressure, cholesterol, anti-platelet, and other medication) in preventing heart attack and stroke in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD), according to an important New England Journal of Medicine study. Experts still recommend angioplasty for patients with unstable or severe CAD.
Stents
- Stents coated with drugs may have a slightly higher risk of causing blood clots than bare metal stents, according to FDA meetings held in late 2006.
