another convenience store clerk at gunpoint, forcing him into a car and driving

A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association says eating fish
may help keep your heart healthy.
The research finds eating fish can help hearts from beating irregularly and
widely out of control-- a phenomenon that can contribute to cardiac arrest.
The University of Washington team found even eating one fatty fish meal per

Two servings a week cut the odds about 70-percent.

Fish oil supplements are NOT being recommended as part of today's study--
because of their potential side effects.
And lastly-- a cholesterol-lowering drug could delay a form of heart disease
in women, at the same rate it slows the disease in men,
Connecticut researchers say the study into the drug Lovastatin is important,
because even though heart diseases are among the leading causes of death for
American women-- they haven't been included in studies of cholesterol-lowering
