Fueled by sugar


Posted at 12:01 am by Jessi Loerch, Herald staff

Ghosts and ghouls and candy fools: Halloween is drawing near, which means it's time for the annual ritual of advice from health experts on how to keep your kids from going into a sugar frenzy.

One final piece of advice: Give up. Short of tossing out all the candy (brutal!) you can guarantee John and Suzy are going to end up with a stomachache and the start of a cavity. They'll learn valuable life lessons, though -- such as the importance of eating the best candy before your sister does.

It glows in the dark! Three scientists earned the Nobel in chemistry for their work using a glowing jellyfish protein. The glowing gene was used for important, ground-breaking work, such as painting a colorful sunset scene in a petri dish.

It's not just the stock market that's falling. A Qantas plane plunged dramatically over Australia. Thankfully, no one died, but some passengers were injured. An inquiry is planned. It's obvious, though, what was going on: The pilot was keeping an eye on his market investments and inadvertently went into a dive of his own.
