The dolphin was spotted in a channel of the Bolsa Chica wetlands, circling in shallow waters as crowds grew along the banks and TV helicopters flew overhead. Lifeguards on paddleboards entered the water to test the dolphin’s reaction, and a decision was made to let the strong and fast dolphin try to find its own way out. ‏(Associated Press‏) A4 | HAARETZ News Features4VOEBZ

Baracke Halva

Classic Vanilla-Flavored Calories: 430 Carbohydrates: 54 g Fat: 32% Price: NIS 14.90

Sugar-Free Calories: 430 Carbohydrates: 54 g Fat: 32% Price: NIS 17.40 ‏(‏+17%‏)

Which is better? Neither is useful for a diet. The regular product, being cheaper, is a better choice since both have the same amount of calories and carbohydrates. “Halva has a healthful image since it’s based on sesame seeds, which are classified among the healthy fats,” says Mazor. “This may be true theoretically, but halva as a processed prod- uct is loaded with fats, including trans fats associated with heart and vascular disease and the onset of diabetes.” Suk- man says the only advantage in sugar-free halva is maltitol, an artificial sweetener which breaks down differently and more slowly in the body than white sugar.

Heinz Mayonnaise

Real Mayonnaise Calories: 608.8 Carbohydrates: 4.56 g Saturated fat: 9.6% Sodium: 480 mg Price: NIS 12.85

Mayolight Calories: 381 Carbohydrates: 8.2 g Saturated fat: 3.8% Sodium: 410 mg Price: NIS 12.85

Which is better? Mayolight could be more helpful to a diet, but both are a problem with their high carbohydrate and fat content. “These products, processed with a long list of ingredients and high sodium content, are just meant to add flavor,” explains Mazor. The big difference is in the ratio of vegetable fat to water, she says. Low-cal products have higher water content and are therefore preferable.

Hotpop Microwave Popcorn

Natural Calories: 540 Carbohydrates: 51 g Fat: 30% Sodium: 1,060 mg Price: NIS 15

Natural Low-Fat Calories: 330 Carbohydrates: 67 g Fat: 7% Sodium: 1,260 mg Price: NIS 15

Which is better? Neither product helps in keeping trim and healthy. When unavoidable, the low-fat alterna- tive is the better choice. “The high amount of sodium is worrisome,” says Mazor. “An adult’s daily sodium intake shouldn’t exceed 2,400 milligrams.”

Exports contracted during only five years. The sharpest annual drop − 17% − was in 2009, during the global finan- cial crisis. The second sharp- est drop, of 13%, was in 2001, when the high-tech bubble burst. In 1950, Britain was Isra- el’s top export market, with the $11 million in goods and services exported to that country making up 32% of all exports. The United States was sec- ond, at $8 million, but topped the list by 1970 − when Iran was No. 10, with $22 million in Israeli exports.
