...During last week’s football game, unruly Brown fans harangued butter-fingered wide receiver Kevin P. Huff ’05 with the taunt that he “couldn’t even catch syphilis.” The events of Saturday night proved them wrong...

...building blocks of dietary fats, an essential part of the human diet. Dietary fats contain a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids (the difference: saturated fats carry a full quota of hydrogen atoms in their chemical structure, and unsaturated fats do not).

Saturated fats are associated with increases in LDL cholesterol (the bad kind); unsaturated fats can bring that number down...

With the latest resurgence of the Atkins program, the clash of the two theories is sharper than ever--low fat vs. low carbs, Ornish vs. Atkins. But here is what...
