- -01-03-05 Low Fat, High Carb Diets Not Effective (ABC News)
"Older women who ate less fat and more carbohydrates lost about 2 pounds over seven years, a large study showed." 01-06
- -03-14-07 Another Atkins Diet Study (ABC News)
"Several recent studies suggest that overweight people might have more success with weight loss when they follow a diet lower in carbohydrates (and higher in fat and protein) than by following the standard guidelines for a lower fat, higher carbohydrate diet."
"These findings have surprised and concerned many nutritional experts. Critics have correctly pointed out that these studies didn't involve enough people and were too short in duration to draw strong conclusions or to change standard recommendations."
"Most experts agree that, more important than specific diet composition, are the following recommendations — not only for weight control, but for overall health:" 03-07
- -04-09-08 Diets that Have Always Promoted Health (US News)
"The focus is on finding the overall combination of foods that are associated with better health, without necessarily pinpointing individual elements of the diet that are responsible. That may involve studying how people in different areas of the world eat or, here at home, using statistics to study which foods the healthiest among us consume. 'You find out who's healthy, then ask what they're eating and how much they exercise,' says K. Dun Gifford, founder and president of Oldways Preservation Trust, the Boston-based food issues think tank that developed the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid. (More later on the exercise element, which often gets lost when people try to adopt a healthier diet.)" 04-08
- -04-15-07 Study: Diets Don't Work (CBS News)
"A new study published in the April issue of the journal "American Psychologist" finds that for most people, dieting just doesn't work."
"Why should we believe the findings of this survey? Won't another study come out in a few months that debunks this one?"
Samantha Heller, a nutritionist with Health magazine: " 'Probably not. If 'dieting' worked then obesity would not be at epidemic levels in this country and now around the world.' " 04-07
- -11-14-05 Oil and Water Diet (ABC News)
"Seth Roberts says he lost 35 pounds in three months by drinking tablespoons of oil and glasses of sugar water in-between meals to quell the urge to continue to eat."
"Roberts calls it the Shangri-La Diet, and suggests it works by suppressing a basic 'caveman' instinct from days when access to food was intermittent. The diet tricks the body from thinking it needs to eat every last bit of food before an impending famine." 11-05

"Inflammation is at the basis of age-related diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, auto immune disease, and wrinkled, sagging skin. The wrong foods—such as sugar, processed foods, pasta, breads, pastry and baked goods—can increase levels of the pro-inflammatory peptides."
"Sugar is the number one enemy. It causes inflammation that destroys our bodies and attaches to collagen, which results in stiff, inflexible, sagging skin. Controlling our blood sugar level and insulin levels will improve our health and give us beautiful, youthful skin."
"The anti-inflammatory diet consists of high quality protein, like that found in fish, colorful fresh fruits and vegetables, and adequate amounts of good fat, like that found in salmon, flax, nuts, seeds and olive oil." 12-05
