On October, 4th in the city of Chernovtsy Ukrainian culinary specialists have baked the 360-kilogram torte. They have treated all visitors who are taken part in celebrating of the city day.

On manufacturing of the real culinary creation it took 80 kg of sugar, 50 kg of butter and flours and 1250 of eggs. Thus 300 kg of the delicacy consists of the biscuit and about 60 kg make sweet ornaments in the form of the most significant buildings and constructions of the city.

During 2 years Israeli scientists have lead comparative test of efficiency of popular diets for growing thin. Test was spent on 322 employees of a nuclear science centre in Dimon, who were suffering by excess weight.

During 2 years approximately equal groups grew thin by means of 3 diets: the diet with the low maintenance of fats (it is recommended by the American Heart Association), the Mediterranean diet and a diet with the low maintenance of carbohydrates — so called the Atkins diet. First two diets assumed the restriction of calories, and Atkins diet did not provide such restrictions. By results of research the diet with the low maintenance of carbohydrates has appeared the most effective: patients have grown thin for 5,6 kg on the average, on the second place is the Mediterranean diet — about 4 kg, on the third place is the diet with the low maintenance of fat – 3,5 kg. Besides a lot of metabolic parameters was better at the people who were followed the Atkins diet.

The supermarket network in Germany has started to spend ultrasonic processing of sausage by classical music. As the owner of this supermarket network approves, it improves flavouring qualities of sausages whereas techno or rock have the negative effect on production. However, there is no any information about it on the product package.

One-two times a month 4 young musicians from East Giessen go on meat factory. With a view of hygiene they change their clothes into overalls and carefully cleanse tools. And the quartet plays for sausage products.

Under the influence of classical music process of sausages manufacturing should pass better, approves Wolfgang Gutberlet, the owner of the supermarkets network in Foulde. It can become a sensation. In the past it were already spent experiments on ultrasonic processing by music of vineyards in Germany and in other European countries. Nevertheless, at present there is no scientific acknowledgement of positive influence of music on products. Though it is known, that cows, for example, give more milk under the action of classics. It is owned to the strengthened development of hormones during sounding music.

Men, who have no risk factors for heart attack, can achieve additional protection of heart, drinking daily one glass of alcohol. The moderate consumption of spirits will allow to lower probability of intimate problems from 40 to 60 percent, and it is no matter which alcohol the man prefers — beer, wine or spirits, doctors of the Harvard University approve.

Bases on the results of 16-years inspection almost 9 thousand men physicians assure, that no more than two portions of alcohol a day become the addition to correct care of own heart.

Canadian scientists have found out the new mechanism of interaction of medicines with the fruit juices, testifying about inadmissibility of their joint reception. It consists in infringement of intake of some medicines under action of juices components.

Till now it was known only the influence of grapefruit juice on metabolism of some preparations. It consists in that bergamottin, containing in grapefruits, suppresses activity of enzyme which splits about 50 existing medicines. Thus, the concentration of these preparations in blood plasma raises and their deducing is slowed down.

Scientists from the Western Ontario University investigated interaction od grapefruit juice with antihistaminic preparation feksofenadin. For this purpose they have suggested to accept feksofenadin with grapefruit juice, a solution of naringin (substance giving bitter taste to a grapefruit) and pure water to three groups of healthy volunteers.

It has appeared, that at reception of the medicine with juice only half of that quantity which is intaken at reception with water is intaken. The same concerns orange and apple juices.
