Subject: The Atkins Diet: Fat or Fiction?

...........................................
*THE ATKINS DIET*
In the last few years, the Atkins diet has lost people pounds and gained notoriety because people lose weight by eating foods high in fat and virtually no carbohydrates. Incredibly, it also claims that the high fat diet actually reduces cholesterol in the body. Horizon investigates whether these claims are founded, and reveals that its followers might lose weight for a reason that not even Dr Atkins had seriously considered. Horizon, Thursday 22 January, 9pm. Go to:

*HUBBLE TROUBLE*
Sad news came when the US revealed that they were not planning to repair the Hubble Space Telescope in the future, following safety concerns after the Columbia disaster a year ago. The telescope has revolutionised astronomy since its launch in 1990. The good news is that even without regular repairs, it is thought that the telescope will still produce beautiful, awe-inspiring images until 2008. For more about the Hubble telescope, go to:
