McDonald's Hasn't Switched To Healthy Oil Yet
If you've been eating McDonald's french fries because they were going to switch to the healthier oil, don't stop counting the calories just yet. McDonald's says it's put plans to switch cooking oil on hold. It wants to better analyze and review the new oil before making the change.
The lighter, healthier oil is designed to cut the trans-fatty acid levels in half while increasing the more beneficial polyunsaturated fat. Trans-fatty acids increase the body's level of bad cholesterol.

1,000 mile marathon tests endurance
Six runners set off on a marathon attempt today to each complete 1,000 miles in 1,000 hours.
Making the challenge even harder, the runners will have to complete one mile every hour to avoid disqualification, reducing sleep to a minimum, said the race's official website www.1000milechallenge.com.
The four men and two women aim to reproduce a feat achieved almost 200 years ago by British army captain Robert Barclay for a wager of 100,000 pounds, equivalent to 40 million pounds today, the website said.
