Turns out most mainstream doctors and professional dietitians. They're attacking these latest fad diets on CNN and making Leeza seem like the McLaughlin Group. Last week 9,000 of them met in Atlanta for a conference of the American Dietetic Association, and even though the organization hadn't scheduled any Atkins talk for its seminars, it blasted low-carb diets as "a nightmare." JoAnn Hattner, a clinical nutritionist at the UCSF Stanford University Medical Center who attended the conference, worries about the high levels of protein and fat in many of these diets, as well as their lack...

...Summers, a British chain of sex emporiums, and things began to change. The 23 Ann Summers stores scattered across Britain are on main shopping streets and geared specifically to women. Brightly lighted and decorated in pastels, the shops manage to make the selling of erotic lingerie and sex aids seem more naughty than nasty. And 70% of Ann Summers' sales last year are estimated to have come from females. "We're the acceptable face of the sex industry," boasts Jacqueline Gold, managing director of the chain...
