UNC Star Gets good news

Marshall at Wednesday's Send-off Wednesday the University of North Carolina star Point Guard, Kendall Marshall received some good news. He was able to get his cast off. He had been wearing a cast since he broke it in Sundays round of 32 match up against Creighton. He received surgery on Monday and has been questionable for his Friday game against The University of Ohio. Marshall Is Crucial in UNC's run to the NCAA final four in Basketball.

airplanehttp://www.delish.com/food/recalls-reviews/airlines-study-airplane-food




             Have you ever wondered why food on airplanes tastes different then food on the surface level? A recent study shows that do to the higher altitude and drier atmosphere the spiciness and acidity of a food or drink changes. Also some of your tastes buds your favorite food all of a sudden tastes like a pile of ash. Tomato juice for example has a higher acidic level at lower altitudes, but when you take it on an airplane it becomes sweeter and more enjoyable to passengers. Now competing airlines are trying to create the best meals that would taste good at higher altitudes to help the satisfaction of their customers. even though they are finding new ways to make better foods the way the food is prepared is still a problem. The food is cooked on ground and then is blast freezed before being put on the plane. when it is being prepared to served the food is generally dried out because it is warmed up with a conventional oven. some companies would like to get steam oven so that certain foods can be moist when served. if you have found that airplane foods taste like garbage then think no more as this dilemma is getting fixed ASAP.

Deadly Cola

http://www.delish.com/cm/delish/images/IH/lg_coca-cola_classic_bottle.jpg                     A recent study shows that an ingredient in dye that gives cola its color is linked in an increase of new cancer cells. Scientist tested this on lab rats and the rats showed an increase in cancerous cells. This group of scientists want to create a petition to make these cola companies to put a warning label on the cans or bottles to warn consumers about this risk. The FDA has fired back at this response by saying that one person would have to consume over 1,000 cans a day to reach that limit. Coca-Cola is now asking their caramel manufacturers to lower the dosage of that ingredient so the risk isn't as high. It's not saying that have soda everyday is bad for you, but how much you drink a day might kill you.
