Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic tested four wristmounted heart rate monitors against the medical gold standard, known as an ekg.

What they found those wrist monitors were notably less accurate than the chest strap version when compared to the ekg . Sometimes off by nearly thirty beats per minute.

Its a push to get more vitamins and minerals in peoples diets. We look at the agribusiness report. And people can now bring back cuban cigars when returning to the us. We look at what the lifted restrictions on the communist country could mean for tobacco farmers, next on tv nine. Welcome to the agribusiness million children die each year because of mineral and vitamin deficiencies. Missing out on Something Like iron. Can cause cognitive problems in children, fatigue for adults, problems with childbirth. One way to help is to give out supplements. But thats expensive. And you have to do it every year. So the winners of this years World Food Prize. Decided to take food staples and build in more vitamins or minerals. Using a process they call biofortificati on. They combine varieties that are get those out to the farmers. Like high zinc rice. Or high iron beans. In africa. A staple food is the white sweet potato. But families there suffer from vitamin a deficiency. So the prize laureates. Worked on an orange sweet potato. That is fortified with vitamin a. Dr. Howarth bouis. One of the laureates and the founding director of harvestplus. Says a hurdle for the project is the potatoes are a different color and taste a bit different if you just give it to them and you dont say anything, theyll just see its a strange color and they wont adopt it. So you have to give them a reason, you have to say, this is what happens when your children suffer from vitamin a deficiency. These things go wrong with their health. But if you substitute this Orange Variety for the white variety, you can protect your family from that. bouis says when farmers get information they tend to switch. Though it does help that the biofortified crops will yield crop. He estimates four million farm households are using biofortified crops now. Or about 20 Million People. Our vision is that 1 billion people will be eating the biofortified crops in 2030. So Going Forward we have a huge job to scale up. Weve identified 32 countries. If we can capture 20 percent of the staple food supply in those countries as biofortified, then we will have reached a billion people. Bouis says it takes about 10 years of work for a new variety to be distributed to farmers. His fellow World Food Prize winners work with the International Potato center. Doctors. Maria andrade. Robert mwanga. And jan low. The last two days of last week. Grains managed a bit of a rebound. Which has some market analysts thinking theyve finally hit the bottom. I was not involved in the grain market for quite some time, and now im heavily im long rough rice, im long wheat, and im long corn. Theyve all broken out. I think theyre all going higher. Next week i probably will be long soybeans as well. But currently im long corn from 3. 40, im long wheat from 4. 16, im long the oats from 1. 82, and im long rough rice from 10 dollars. I think the grain market has more room to run. I am still not bullish cattle and i have short positions in hogs. I think were still headed lower, the expansion situation is still a problem. I 80s, you know, 87, 86. Its got more room to run. Today its up 160 points. Got more room to run, prices are way too expensive. They could really, really go down another 20 30 percent from todays levels in my opinion. I think hogs are going lower, im in the december contract, i think theres going to be a three handle soon, were at 44 right now i think youre going to see 35 by christmas. I just, theres too many hogs and now you have grain prices going up. Theres problems around. And again next time well post a video every day in the agriculture section of kcrg. Com.

But they say they cannot speed up the production while meeting the rising demand in the us. And as more economic sanctions are lifted on cuba, it would allow for the sale of cuban cigars in the us. David savona, executive editor, cigar aficionado theres obviously built up demand and excitement for people to smoke cuban cigars. They havent been able to smoke them legally for more than fifty years. I think all cigar smokers in america are going to want to give a legal cuban cigar a try. Executives who sell cubas embargo, they could control some 70 of the us market for cigars.
