Comment The Post Below...
Readers:
It may be extremely hot outdoors, but I still need to get
some exercise. I usually take a long walk or play basket-
ball in my yard, but it has just been too hot.
I've taken to running up and down the stairs with wrist
and ankle weights on. I remember doing this when I was
younger. Before I had the weights, I held large soup cans
in my hands as I traveled up and down those stairs. It
worked great. I never got dehydrated like I would if I had
done this outside. It was a great way to get some exercise
without having to spend a ton of money of face the
unbelievable heat.
Even if the weather isn't cooperating that doesn't mean you
can stop getting a healthy dose of exercise.
Regards,
Steve

Scientists harvest insulin from safflower
CALGARY, Alberta - A Calgary biotech company says it is
has developed a method of producing large amounts of human
insulin from genetically modified safflower plants. The
Globe and Mail said the innovation could change the
economics of the diabetes market. Worldwide demand for
insulin is forecast to soar by 2010 because more people
are developing diabetes and are being diagnosed earlier
in their lives -- and because of the development of new
products such has inhaled insulin, which requires five to
10 times the amount of injected insulin, said Andrew Baum,
president and chief executive officer of SemBioSys Genetics
Inc. SemBioSys says it can make more than one kilogram of
human insulin per acre of safflower production. That amount
could treat 2,500 diabetic patients for one year and meet
the world's total projected insulin demand in 2010 with
less than 16,000 acres of safflower production, the
newspaper said.
Baum said the company's plans to demonstrate by the end
of the year that its product works as well as insulin
currently on the market to control blood glucose levels,
setting the stage for a request to the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration for approval to begin human clinical
testing at the end of 2007.
