...have become a convert. Carbohydrates in the amount we commonly consume them (particularly sugar and other refined carbos) are often prime saboteurs of our weight. What's more, cutting back on them--especially on wheat--seems to produce improvements in energy, mood and sleep for many patients. It is hard to do--our culture is carbo- and wheat-driven. But of all the diets I've seen over the past few decades, the moderate-fat, lower-carbohydrate ones are the most successful. They stress not how much food you eat but what kinds.

We don't need it, and our grandchildren will have to pay for it, and I won't do it." Voters approved and conservatives cheered, but once in office the rebels seemed to forget the gospel they ran on--forgot their promise to serve only three terms, or to fight pork-barrel spending, or to forswear the politics...
...article on the beneficial effects of soybean products [HEALTH, June 7], you showed a photo of little plastic packets of soy sauce. They contain the sensory equivalent of diesel fuel. This "soy" sauce is an American aberration born during World War II food shortages. Naturally brewed soy sauce contains wheat, soybeans, water and salt and is fermented and aged like wine. If the label reads corn syrup and caramel color, it's not the real thing. BARBARA TROPP San Francisco...
