But recently the group of the American scientists from Bimolecular Chemistry Institute “has rehabilitated” chocolate and cocoa: it has appeared, that concentration in them of unfortunate connections is lowest, besides their majority decays in a stomach, not reaching our brains.

Today in USA the brand «The Spiritual Water» under which 10 kinds of water are issued uses huge popularity. There are images of Christian sacred and symbols: Jesus, his mother Maria, the Sacred Cross on labels.

Manufacturers of water have simply added something new to an ordinary product; have found an original way of struggle against competitors. Each bottle is supplied by a pray in English and Spanish languages.

Release of the first set of water in the end of the last year has not caused anxiety of religious groups and the big attention of mass-media. Thus religious groups are not excited by names of water (for example «Jesus’s Formula»), by images sacred, but they are excited by that this water is bottled. “Water is a life, — Sister Mary Zirbes, nun Sester Frantsiska speaks. — And it should not be on sale”.

Some religious groups confirm, that «The Spiritual Water» simply deceives consumers, making profit on their religious feelings. On what owners of the company, businessmen from Florida, answer, that mark do not maintain feeling of consumers. “We try to connect people with God, but no to deceive them”.

Participants of Donetsk expedition to the Everest have suffered from the unknown thief who has stolen their dried fruits, block of chocolate and all stock of macaroni. Products were gone from tent with the supplies, installed at height of 6500 meters.

According to Sergey Kovalev, the head of the expedition, climbers have found out foots prints which “are very similar to traces of the yeti which were show on TV”. Participants of the expedition reject the assumption that the representative of any other climbers team has got into their tent. “Mountain sports is a business of gentlemen, and larceny at mountains tops is excluded”, — speaks Kovalev.

Now climbers have decided suit an ambush on the thief. “We shall take cameras and we shall watch”, — the head of group has declared.

Food stuffs today are not capable to satisfy the need of person of vitamins and microelements as the quantity of useful substances in them constantly decreases. Such conclusion follows from the data presented by the USA Agriculture Ministry according to who for last 30-40 years vitamin A completely has disappeared from beef, and its contents in poultry was reduced at 70 %. Critically (at 85 %) the quantity of calcium has decreased in sheet cabbage, before considered the basic source of this element. The maintenance of magnesium has decreased in a parsley and fennel more than at 30 %.

Now, to receive a daily doze of vitamins and microelements with food stuffs, a person should eat about 5-7 kgs of various food a day. Naturally our organism can not stand it. Therefore today a person is not managing without reception of vitamin-mineral complex. Scientists connect the situation with a universal exhaustion of ground, and also that today they remove a crop, not waiting its maturing that it has sustained long transportation.
