| Traditional Chinese Medicine | | 2008-08-17 06:53:00 | | Traditional Chinese Medicine stands strong on thousands of years of history, yet it only arrived in the U.S. in the last thirty years. In the early 1970's, following Nixon's visit to China, acupuncture became popular in the U.S. for a brief period, specifically for use in pain relief. But the response from skeptics was swift, with an effort to outlaw it.There were no empirical data, no double-blind studies, no scientific proof, they argued, and therefore acupuncture had to be simply the placebo effect at work. As of the turn of the millennium, however, there is a threshold level of research showing such a significant benefit of Traditional Chinese Medicine over placebo that it is even being integrated to some extent into allopathic practices.

| Chinese cheating | | 2008-08-13 04:04:15 | | Made in China now includes fakes and faking. The news that the Olympic organisers decided to use the voice of a young girl deemed to be "unattractive" but put a "pretty" girl before the audience to mime the song is very distasteful. The musical director Chen Qigang said that "the reason for this is that we must put our country's interest first" which implies that only beautiful people can go on TV.Does Mr Chen think that anybody outside China would have thought "blimey, what an unattractive little girl!" as they sat glued to the spectacle before them. He must be mad, because nobody would have thought other than "what a lovely voice" or something similar. All he has done is make China look petty and pernickety and rather nasty. And did he think that this would be kept quiet for long? Not whilst the Olympics are on, as all manner of news is moving around.

| Young Chinese Olympic Gymnasts Reduce Olympic Games To Childsplay | | 2008-08-12 15:22:00 | | They bring serious threat to the U.S. gymnastic team, yet they have everybody talking for a different reason: China's Olympic gymnasts looks young... very young. They may not only young, but be young too, according to sources.The New York Times' Harvey Araton questioned the seemingly young girl's age and went on to suggest what is happening: "When in North America, do as the North Americans do (overreact). When in China, do nothing. For better or worse, these are the shrug-and-don’t-tell Olympics, undoubtedly because it would be considered impolitic to embarrass the Chinese after they went to such great expense to throw the world this lavish party."MSNBC's coverage of the events suggested that the girls began to train for this Olympic quest when they were only 3 years old. What country or parent would drive their children to this kind of success?

| The Chinese Are Getting Fat Too! | | 2008-08-11 00:08:00 | | Blame it on the heavily anticipated Beijing Olympics or the summer fun-flick Kung Fu Panda, all things China have been thrust into international spotlight.
While China is doing all it can to feed the rest of the world, back home it is obesity and excess weight that is making the Chinese rethink their menu. Fat has become a national threat with analysts suggesting that the dairy and meat-rich diet could pose a serious problem to many Chinese.
With more than a quarter of the adult population of China overweight or obese, the country is a few notches away from Mexico on the developing countries list. Nutritionists blame these rising levels on the disappearance of the classical Chinese diet that was rich in carbohydrates and veggies and low on animal products.
Looks like this is one country that needs to spend some serious time and money on exercise or liposuction surgery.

The rice-heavy meals and fatty meat dishes are thought to lead straight to obesity and heart disease. But properly prepared, says Chinese food expert Lorraine Clissold, the very opposite is true: the Chinese way of eating is healthy and fulfilling, fights illness and prolongs life. She also insists, in her book Why the Chinese Don't Count Calories, that a real Chinese diet won't make you fat, and that the rising levels of obesity observable in China are in fact caused by sugary, overprocessed Western food. Here are some of her Chinese dietary secrets – and the verdict of two Western nutrition experts, Patrick Holford and Ian Marber.1. Stop counting calories The Chinese don't have a word for "calories".
