Britain and Spain have the highest
proportion of cocaine users in the EU, according to a pan-European drugs survey
published today. The European Monitoring Center for Drugs and Drug Addiction
2004 report found 2% of all adults in the UK and Spain reported recent cocaine
use, close to figures for the US, compared to less than 1% across the EU as a
whole. It reported that cocaine use was increasing in Denmark
and Germany and that more Europeans were seeking treatment for cocaine-related
problems. In most countries, treatment is demanded for the use of cocaine powder
rather than smoked crack cocaine--but in the Netherlands around two-thirds of
cocaine treatment demands were crack related. Crack use was
increasing in a number of cities in Germany, Spain, France and the UK, the
survey found. Heroin use is relatively stable in many EU
countries, with new users failing, but limited data from the new member states
in central and Eastern Europe may mask localized increases. Deep
concern surrounds the continuing HIV epidemic in some of the new EU member
states and their bordering countries, where heroin injecting is more common than
it is the western states. Estonia, Latvia, Russia and Ukraine are the countries
with the fastest growing HIV epidemic in the world, though 'there are signs it
is stabilizing in the Baltic states. The director of the EU
drugs agency, Georges Estievenart, identified positive signs in the downwards
trend of drug-related deaths and better access to treatment and care but warned
of future problems. "There is a risk that some of these positive
trends may be short-lived and real concerns surround potential drug epidemics,
particularly in some of the new members of our Union." "And we
should not forget that drug use in general remains at historically high
levels-many countries are reporting rising cocaine use and more people are using
cannabis and ecstasy in parts of Europe." The Home Office
minister, Caroline Flint, said the report was based on old data and the British
Crime Survey showed that crack and cocaine use had stabilized.
"We are not complacent about the drugs situation in Britain," she said.
"Drug use is still too high and we are planning new legislation aimed at getting
more users into treatment--including testing on arrest--and strengthening police
powers to tackle drug dealers."

单选题Fried foods have long been frowned upon. Nevertheless, the skillet is about our handiest and most useful piece of kitchen equipment. Stalwart lumberjacks and others engaged in active labor requiring 4,000 calories per day or more will take approximately one-third of their rations prepared in this fashion. Meat, eggs, and French toast cooked in this way are served in millions of homes daily. Apparently the consumers are not beset-with more signs of indigestion than afflict those who insist upon broiling, roasting, or boiling. Some years ago one of our most eminent physiologists investigated the digestibility of fried potatoes. He found that the pan variety was more easily broken down for assimilation than when deep fat was employed. The latter, however, dissolved within the alimentary tract more readily than the boiled type. Furthermore, he learned, by watching the progress of the contents of the stomach by means of the fluoroscope, that fat actually accelerated the rate of digestion. Now all this is quite in contrast with "authority". Volumes have been written on nutrition, and everywhere the dictum has been accepted--no fried edibles of any sort for children. A few will go so far as to forbid this style of cooking wholly. Now and then an expert will be bold enough to admit that he uses them himself. The absence of discomfort being explained on the ground that he possesses a powerful gastric apparatus. We can of course sizzle perfectly good articles to death so that they will be leathery and tough. But thorough heating, in the presence of shortening, is not the awful crime that it has been labeled. Such dishes stimulate rather than retard contractions of the gall bladder. Thus it is that bile mixes with the nutriment shortly after it leaves the stomach. We don't need to allow our foodstuffs to become oil-soaked, but other than that, there seems to be no basis for the widely heralded prohibition against this method. But notions become fixed. The first condemnation probably arose because an "oracle" suffered from dyspepsia, which he ascribed to some fried item on the menu. The theory spread. Others agreed with him, and after a time the doctrine became incorporated in our textbooks. The belief is now tradition rather than a proved fact. It should have been refuted long since, as experience has demonstrated its falsity.
