...nine-pound chunk of buffalo hump, which Lewis and Clark considered the best part of the animal. This is because it's the fattiest part. Lewis and Clark loved the fat. "The general rule on the hunt was, the fattier the better. They were on the original Atkins diet," Leandra says.

...studies offer a new definition of brain food. Chicago researchers say a diet rich in vitamin E, found in grains, nuts and egg yolks, can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. A Dutch study seconds that notion and adds vitamin C, found in many fruits and vegetables, to the list of neuroprotective nutrients.

More serious problems--overly aggressive dogs, compulsive lickers and tail chasers, cats that urinate all over the house--are often treated with well-known antidepressants (Paxil, Zoloft, Prozac). Not surprisingly, some pets end up on the same medicines as their owners. That fuels some vets' criticism that...
