Re: Osteoporosis Hits Younger Women - And Men

"Don't believe anything you hear, or anything you read, and dam little of what you see." I don't remember who said that but it certainly applies to medical literature and anecdotes. Even if I found a quote, someone would come up with an earlier one.

But whatever works for someone to get to nominal weight has to be good. It may not be the best or the only way and it may not be applicable to everyone. I used to have some friends that used the atkin's.

I see Eat Fat, Grow Thin, Dr. Mackarness, preceded Taller's book, by 2 years (1959). Interesting that Banting shares the name of the Nobel prize winner for insulin:

A brief biography of Dr. F. G. Banting

Frederick Grant Banting completed his medical studies at the University of Toronto and established a surgical practise in London, Ontario, supplementing his income as a medical demonstrator at the University of Western Ontario. In London he conceived a technique which might permit isolation of the anti-diabetic component of the pancreas. He returned to the University of Toronto in 1921 to conduct experiments on the pancreas at the labs of Dr. J.J.R. MacLeod. By the time the summer had ended, he and Best had isolated insulin. Dr. J.B. Collip developed the process by which insulin was able to be refined and processed in sufficient amounts for clinical trials. Fame came quickly to the soft-spoken Banting who won the Nobel Prize for Medicine because of his discovery. Many honours followed, including knighthood, and Banting continued to work on further research and coordinated the National Wartime Medical Research effort. His efforts were cut short by a fatal crash in Newfoundland in 1941.
