Medical Establishment Giving Atkins Diet Another Hard Look
There's a growing cadre in the medical community who says the high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet recommended by both the government and most of the medical establishment in the past 20 years may be what's responsible for both the rampaging obesity epidemic and the spike in adult-onset diabetes. Five recent studies showed that subjects on some form of the Atkins high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet lost twice the weight as the subjects on the low-fat, low-calorie diet.

FDA Takes Close Look at Bioengineered Food
