...does liposuction reduce the size of any remaining fat cells; large fat cells appear to produce more harmful proteins than do small ones. Some doctors believe the results would have been better if the patients had been only a few pounds overweight. In any case, the best way to shrink fat cells is still to create a negative energy balance by - you guessed it - eating fewer calories than you burn. Disappointing as this study might be, there is hope for folk who struggle with weight. It's becoming increasingly clear that even modest weight loss - even as little...
...reticence, or whatever, came from both our parents but from my mother most of all," Kerry's younger brother Cameron told me a few weeks ago. "She was vehement about civic duty and personal correctness. Once, when I started talking about winning a ski race, she said to me, 'Shrink it down'--meaning my head. That was one of her expressions.

Most of the newly approved drugs work in only 10% to 30% of patients, but in those patients, tumors routinely shrink to less than half their size. The number of new drugs that have been approved is small, their cost is high (at least $20,000 per cycle), and progress is slow. The five-year survival rate for all cancers is 63%, up from 51% in 1975, according to the American Cancer Society. But most of that improvement is attributed to the effectiveness of antismoking campaigns, not to better drugs...
