Study: Men should limit egg consumption

RAMOT HASHEVIM, ISRAEL - MARCH 14:  Freshly-laid eggs are collected for delivery to the local packing plant at the Aronheim family's egg farm on March 14, 2008 in the farming community of Ramot Hashevim, central Israel. World food prices are soaring in the face of what some analysts are describing as a perfect storm of circumstances; increasing demand from developing economies in Asia, rising fuel prices, severe weather impacting recent harvests and an economic shift to biofuel production. All this leaves the consumer paying more for basic staples such as bread and milk and is likely to have its hardest impact on poorer nations.

Who's your daddy? Answer's at the drugstore

A technician takes a swab of a childs dummy for DNA testing at a laboratory of Labgenetics in Madrid, 20 November 2007. The business of DNA testing is growing at a rapid rate in Spain partly thanks to its illegality in France. In France it is illegal for a parent to ask for a paternity test without a judge's approval. Spanish firms are cashing in on the market by sending paternity kits which consist of taking two swabs, one of the parent and the other of child. The kits are then returned to Spain for testing. The results which have a 99.9% success rate are then sent to the parent.  AFP PHOTO/PIERRE-PHILIPPE MARCOU (Photo credit should read PIERRE-PHILIPPE MARCOU/AFP/Getty Images)Starting this week, do-it-yourself DNA paternity testing kits are available in more than 4,300 drugstores, offering the promise — and problems — of genetic identification.
