Then came surprising new studies showing that the diet not only works (pound for pound, up to 100% better than low-fat diets) but also appears to be good for the heart, lowering triglycerides and raising HDL, the "good" cholesterol.

The strategy spawned explosive growth. By 2000, Enron was the seventh largest company in America. The '90s were fat times for Enron, and the corporate culture oozed in excess. The company rented ski condos in Beaver Creek, Colo., and stocked each with a personal chef. Christmas parties were multimillion-dollar, black-tie affairs with ice sculptures...
