Trying to stay healthy
It is not easy to have a healthy diet these days. That is the conclusion drawn from research by “Science Express” reporters after examining the substances that are added to our foods.
Chemicals, hormones and pesticide residues are found in most of the fresh fruit, vegetables and meat we eat. Allanah James will show the dimension of the problem and the possible effects it may have on our health, on “Science Express” tonight. Another item will present the inside story on microfossils. These tiny structures, no bigger than grains of sand, are providing an invaluable source of information about the Earth’s his-, tory as well as assisting in oil exploration. The mighty microchip will also make a guest appearance on the programme, in the form of a new computer which will help foresters avoid making expensive management mistakes. The SILMOD computer model is the brainchild of the Forest Research Institute in Rotorua. It is claimed to be the most comprehensive forest-man-agement programme of its type in the world.
