...warily, close to a publicist, wrapped in folds of black that effectively hide a figure that once ballooned so much that paparazzi competed for photos as though they were getting paid by the pound. Yet she's looking better these days, down 40 lbs. thanks to a high-protein diet (this evening's menu: carpaccio, swordfish steak and hot milk for dessert). Her weight, of course, is hardly the only thing that has made her a star of the gossip pages. There were the slew of canceled concert appearances, the reports of erratic behavior, a faltering singing voice...
...representative of the U.S. meat and poultry industry, I was both dismayed and insulted by Ayres' doomsday article. Modern agriculture and meat production are among the miraculous accomplishments of the 20th century. Today our livestock and poultry convert feed into nutrient-dense protein with phenomenal and increasing efficiency. Cattle graze on rugged, mountainous lands that can be used for little else. The agriculture and meat industries should be commended for embracing--not avoiding--the science and technology that have enabled Americans to have the most nutritious and wholesome food supply found anywhere.

...heart can, in response to a drop in the level of oxygen-rich blood it's receiving, grow extra blood vessels. But the process, called angiogenesis, is often too slow and not extensive enough to stave off a heart attack. About 10 years ago, scientists started identifying certain proteins, called growth factors, that the body uses to build new blood vessels. The proteins act like foremen at a construction site, making sure that all the pieces of the project come together smoothly. Animal experiments showed that there were several ways to get growth factors into the heart. You could inject...
...high-protein diet were the solution to long-term weight loss, it would not need to be reinvented every few decades. Losing weight is easy. The challenge is to achieve and maintain a healthy weight for life. This requires a commitment to physical activity and a nutritious diet that includes a wide range of foods eaten in moderation. Contrast this approach to the risks of fad diets. Rather than showcasing the insanity of magical diets, you should report on the science of health and nutrition. MARY JO FEENEY, R.D. Los Altos, Calif...
...your hair long and get real pale"--yes, that was my real hair in the movie--and I also gained 30 pounds. Gaining weight was actually a difficult thing for me. I'm a health nut, so it was hard. I ate eight meals a day and had four protein shakes a day and two weightgainer bars a day and I cut out cardio. It took me three months to gain it. (Afterwards I became a total vegan for six months and I lost it in a month and a half). I got four copies of Sleepy Hollow, I wached...
