(Fatec - 2002) Potatoes are supposed to be one of the worlds greatest foods, filled with calcium, niacin, iron, vitamin C and plenty of carbohydrates. A diet of milk and potatoes, the textbooks say, will provide all the nutrients the human body needs. But there is trouble lurking beneath the skin. According to a controversial new theory, potatoes, eaten in large quantities by a population increasingly sedentary and overweight, may be a major contributor to Americas alarming rates of heart disease and diabetes. The problem, according to Meir Stampfer, a nutrition professor at the Harvard School of Public Health, is potato starch. When you eat a potato and that starch hits the saliva in your mouth, its tightly bundled molecules immediately get turned into sugars, which make a beeline for the blood. You ate a potato, says Stampfer, but your body is getting pure glucose. The flood of blood sugar sets off a chain reaction. Insulin pours out of the pancreas. Triglycerides shoot up. HDL (good) cholesterol takes a dive. lts a perfect setup for heart disease and diabetes, says Stampfer. This is not just a potato problem. Its also a problem with white bread, bagels and most white rice. But couch potatoes dont have to give up their spuds altogether, as long as they eat them in moderation. Or they could switch to sweet potatoes and yams, which metabolize less rapidly and wreak less havoc with blood sugar. TIME, January 21, 2002.

(FATEC - 2002) TEXTO PARA A PRXIMA QUESTO: O texto a seguir a transcrio de uma parte da entrevista que a CNN fez com o Dr. Steven Marans, em 13 de setembro de 2001, a respeito dos atentados ocorridos nos EUA dois dias antes. Dr. Steven Marans: Talking to children about violence Dr. Steven Marans is the head of the National Center of Children Exposed to Violence at Yale Universitys Child Study Center. He joined the CNN.com chat room from Connecticut. CNN: Dr. Marans, this incident has presented many challenges for parents and teachers. Can you give us some guidance as to how much we should be talking to kids about these events? Wont it greatly depend upon the age of the child? MARANS: Yes, it does depend on the age of the child. But perhaps the most important issue is that children need to have adults who are available to listen to what is on their minds. That it is the greatest importance that teachers and parents are able to demonstrate to children that they can tolerate hearing about all sorts of ideas and strong feelings. Parents and teachers need to listen carefully to their children in order to understand the issue that are uppermost in their childrens mind. The other issue is that for all of us, children and adults alike, there is no great fear than that of losing someone that we love. And that there is no greater fear than being frightened of damage to ones own body or to the bodys of people that we love.
