from the Editors of Soap Opera Digest ONE LIFE FAVE MAKES SCARY CROSSOVER HILLARY B. Smith was thrilled when she was asked to take her One Life o Live character, Nora, to General Hospital. “The fact that she was so beloved and they felt that she still had enough of a fan base to bring her back is incredibly flattering,” says Hillary. “But it was a little scary because there’s some expectation here.

FIGHTING cholesterol has never tasted better, thanks to a new chocolate-flavored pill! Blood Flow+, the first-ever medicine made from cocoa to target cholesterol levels in the blood, also claims to reduce the risk of dementia, heart attack and stroke. Currently on the market in England, the FDA is considering the pill for sale in the U.S. Scientists reveal flavanols, chemicals extracted from cocoa, help limit cholesterol levels while increasing blood flood. They also help increase production of nitric oxide, which allows artery wall muscles to relax. “Maintaining the elasticity of blood vessels is very important,” says pharmaceutical expert Dr. Alf Lindberg. “Even slightly elevated blood pressure in midlife is linked to increased risk of heart disease, stroke and dementia.” While researchers praise the merits of flavanols, don’t go on a…
