...enzyme without causing disastrous side effects. That won't be easy, and, as Citron points out, it won't happen overnight. Nor will the Amgen scientists lack for competition. Even as their Science paper appeared, other drugmakers indicated they were hot on the trail of the enzyme as well. And while Alzheimer's researchers offered the usual caveats, they seemed almost unanimously agreed that the identifying of the shadowy enzyme was not only a potential bonanza for drug companies but also the first really encouraging sign that there may yet be a light at the end of that long, dark...
...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 of fiber. "Removing fiber causes constipation, fluid dehydration, weakness and nausea. It's a great strain on the kidneys," she says. Keith Ayoob, a professor of nutrition at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, warns about other "very unpleasant side effects--sometimes really...

Last week the Hellers had books in the No. 1 and No. 2 spots on Amazon.com's best-seller list as well as the No. 10, 13, 23, 70 and 87 positions. This Oprah apparently has some pull...
...medical evidence for many of these diets is flimsy, but you can find an expert somewhere to support almost every one. Though Atkins' high-fat regimen has drawn widespread criticism in the medical community, it has vocal adherents as well. Dennis Gage, an endocrinologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, immediately takes his patients off relatively nutrient-poor pastas and white breads. Like many of the diet gurus, he argues that naysayers are using outdated science. "Some of the registered dietitians trained the old-fashioned way, saying you have to have 50% carbohydrates. The government is always behind...
...tried the low-carbohydrate diets on a few patients for whom nothing else had worked. To my surprise, they did well. I chose the more cautious Zone and Heller systems, with moderate-to-low fat intake, though I noticed that the patients who were experimenting with the Atkins system of high saturated fat and ultra-low carbohydrates seemed to lose weight even faster...
