Free fatty acids levels, which when elevated are associated with heart arrhythmias, are doubled. (J Am Diet Assoc 77:264 - 270, 1980). <> Just today a student of mine who has lost over 20# on Atkins sent me this link. http://www.msnbc.com/news/836726.asp#BODY <> ....Westman studied 120 overweight volunteers, who were randomly assigned to the Atkins diet or the heart association’s Step 1 diet, a widely used low-fat approach. On the Atkins diet, people limited their carbs to less than 20 grams a day, and 60 percent of their calories came from fat. “It was high fat, off the scale,” he said. After six months, the people on the Atkins diet had lost 31 pounds, compared with 20 pounds on the AHA diet, and more people stuck with the Atkins regimen. Total cholesterol fell slightly in both groups. However, those on the Atkins diet had an 11 percent increase in HDL, the good cholesterol, and a 49 percent drop in triglycerides. On the AHA diet, HDL was unchanged, and triglycerides dropped 22 percent. High triglycerides may raise the risk of heart disease. While the volunteers’ total amounts of LDL, the bad cholesterol, did not change much on either diet, there was evidence that it had shifted to a form that may be less likely to clog the arteries. CALL FOR LONG-TERM RESEARCH “More study is necessary before such a diet can be recommended,” Westman said. “However, a concern about serum lipid (cholesterol) elevations should not impede such research.” No single study is likely to change minds the issue, especially since an initial weight loss is hard to maintain on any diet. <> I would agree with the closing of Westman's study...more study is necessary...no single study is likely to change minds on the issue.... I am doing Atkins under the suppervision of my Doctor, because I am already under her care for EXTREMLY HIGH Triglycerides, which have reduced with Tricor, and low HDL's (even though I train 4 days per week?) For others who are considering Atkins you MUST read his book He admits constipation maybe a problem..and suggests fiber supplements....personally I just do a Hooter's Salad or Peanut Butter Celery for lunch and that with a lot of water seems to keep me in balance. He admits that you won't get a lot of fruit and/or other minerals but suggests a good Multi-Vitamin while you're on the more aggressive phases of the diet. Personally I am adding some fruit back into my ongoing weightloss phase.... I will share again with the list when I get my next blood work and consultation in December/January Be Well, Charles R.

Re: "Lo-Carb" ... issue is not just the low-CH2O content of some "diets" ... issue is the high protein aspect. Without going into detail, a a number of physiological pathways get 'deranged' by excessive protein intake. End results can include proteinuria (protein spillover from the kidneys [which is NOT good for the kidneys]), kidneys stones and gout. The "middle-of-the-road" approach is to follow the natural pattern which is closely-related to the most highly available fuel sources: carbohydrates and oils. Examining our physiology and that of other primates you may find it obvious that we are not designed to consume the protein-rich "foods" of the ecosystem ... other animal critters. Carnivores are: shredding teeth, straight-line GI tract, etc. These are complex arguments which can be twisted all kinds of ways to define things that we can manage to "get away with" but are not necessarily a part of our pattern by design. For example, yes we can metabolize alcohols, but alcohols are NOT a primary fuel source for creatures like us. When we take in concentrated (i.e., not naturally-occurring as in old fruit/vegetables/etc.) we poison ourselves because we are not by design able to metabolize it that way (as concentrated fuel source). We can metabolize alcohol for fuel "on-the-side". To do otherwsie throws off the dynamics of fluid balance via aldosterone/antidiuretic hormone effects. So we have to look a little further to find out what's right there in front of us ... the simple plain old way of natural patterns. Civilization itself began as a result of our ability to cultivate what? Grains! . . . and civilizations have managed to take hold and continue because of what? The combination of grains and legumes to yield complete proteins! Look around the world and you'll see it: wheat/lentils/chickpeas; rice/soy/mung beans; etc. At 51 years of age, I still weigh the same as I did at 21, I can exert for a greater duration than my 28-year-old all sports MVP son, my BP and HR are the same as they were when I was 21 ... I could go on ... and my MD doesn't understand it because they were taught that BP increases reliably with age. Modern medical science with all of its clinical trials and claims of omniscience doe not know everything. Even with our successes we are still unable to comprehend the full impact of frickin'around with the subtleties of physiology. Hey, how many people think that heart is just a pump? Ask your doctor and see if s/he'll tell you about the heart's other side as an endocrine gland. See what I mean? Just because someone expertly reels a story for us does not mean that they've got it all worked out ... so caveat emptor always. Bottom line is still that we run on glucose. Glucose is the "go" for every system in the body. Some of us mess up the supply of "go" to the body and our physiology gets deranged. If we balance the intake of "go" with "goodies" there would be very few weight problems outside of things caused by organic problems. This directs our attention towards other things, like why/how the heck do people take refuge in "comfort" foods? Just have to buckle down and put more "go" into the process. In fact, exercise is far better than "comfort food" any day. When I heard my ex-NFL sibling talk about comfort food it took my breath away. Like, say wha'? Food is fuel. That's all it is, unless it's medicine :-) Be well. __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.

Forwarded message: Several new books on Korea have appeared from UH Press over the past several months. For a cumulative listing of recent titles, see: http://www.uhpress.hawaii.edu/journals/ks/koreabooks.html Yang Kwija; Kim So-young, Julie Pickering, trs. A Distant and Beautiful Place Set against the backdrop of South Korea's breakneck drive for industrialization and economic development in the 1980s, these compassionate and often humorous stories capture the essence of modern South Korean life-including the ubiquitous atmosphere of violence and fear that clouded the country prior to democratization in 1987. Michael J. Seth. Education Fever: Society, Politics, and the Pursuit of Schooling in South Korea In the half century after 1945, South Korea went from an impoverished, largely rural nation ruled by a succession of authoritarian regimes to a prosperous, democratic industrial society. No less impressive was the country's transformation from a nation where a majority of the population had no formal education to one with some of the world's highest rates of literacy, high school graduates, and university students. Louis Baldovi, ed. A Foxhole View: Personal Accounts of Hawaii's Korean War Veterans "A terrific read. A Foxhole View tells an important story of fear, heroism, brotherhood, and courage. It is at one and the same time a gritty, horrible, and glorious story. I found myself awed by the everyday, humble, matter-of-fact valor of these men." --Dan Boylan, University of Hawai`i--West O`ahu Choon-Hak Cho, Yeon-Ja Sohn, Heisoon Yang. Korean Reader for Chinese Characters Korean Reader for Chinese Characters will help students of Korean master basic Chinese characters that are frequently encountered in everyday situations. More than five hundred characters are targeted in exercises that aid in the efficient study of the forms, meanings, and sounds of individual characters and their compounds. Although the primary goal of the Reader is recognition of basic Chinese characters, students are encouraged to learn to write them properly by inclusion of a section on stroke order. The Reader is also designed to reinforce skills in reading and writing in Korean while studying Chinese characters. Michael Finch. Min Yong-hwan: A Political Biography The diplomat and scholar-official Min Yong-hwan (1861-1905), described by one contemporary Western observer as "undoubtably the first Korean after the emperor," is best remembered in Korean historiography for his pioneering diplomacy at the courts of Tsar Nicholas II and Queen Victoria in the late 1890s. Furthermore, he is considered to be the foremost patriot of Korea's Taehan era (1897-1907). This pioneering study of Min Yong-hwan is long overdue and provides us with a new perspective on a period of Korean history that still casts its shadow over the region today.

November 2002 ITFHQ VIENNA Dear Members In order to reassure you, we reiterate that Mr. Russell MacLellan is the legal President of the ITF, and Master Tom MacCallum, the legal Secretary General of the ITF. Chang Ung is not the legal president of the ITF. Georgios Stylianides, Yuri Kalashnikov, Jong Jae Hun, Pak Si Ung, Son U Chol, Hwang Bong Yong, Hwang Jin, Jong Jae Hun, Rhee Ki Ha, Hwang Kwang Sung and Park Jong Soo are all suspended, legally, by the ITF Disciplinary Committee. All of the above have formed a new organisation with a new website and they are holding their world championships in North Korea. We refer to an e-mail sent out to members, about a Board of Directors meeting held in Vienna on 16th. November. Strictly illegal. A man called Chang Ung called this meeting. The ITF is a NON-POLITICAL organisation as per the wishes of GEN. CHOI HONG HI. In his lifetime he strongly advocated this and he fought for it. Will you now betray him by making the ITF into a political organisation or will you vote to retain your freedom from political influence? A democratic decision was made to hold our World Championships in Poland in 2003. The group, who now clearly demonstrate that they are separate from us and making their own plans without consultation of the membership of the ITF, have stated that the next world championships will be held in North Korea in 2003. We are legally registered in Austria and we are working through our lawyer but the fact is that it takes time. They are taking advantage of that. It was perfectly obvious some time ago that the present situation would arise. While in Pyongyang an unconstitutional and illegal meeting was held. How can the tenets of TKD and the constitution be so abused? The President of the ITF, the Secretary General, The Chairman of the Consultative Council, and various other of the senior ITF masters expressed a concern about the ITF funds. Master MacCallum was authorised to find a way to secure the money. When The Secretary consulted with the bank manager it was found that any account opened in the name of the ITF could be accessed by any of the authorised people of the ITF. Therefore it was decided to open the account in the name of Master MacCallum. Master MacCallum withdrew $60,000.00 and put it in another account. This was notified to the ITF President, the ITF lawyer, and various other ITF officials. Following a meeting between the treasurer and Secretary General in the presence of their lawyers it was agreed that the Secretary General would repay the money, minus what was used for legitimate ITF business and that they would not interfere with the work of the ITF. The police had been called in twice by the Secretary General when he was assaulted by Pak and Son. They did not keep their part of the bargain. The Secretary General took a computer and printer to his home so that he could print out certificates which the treasurer refused to print. There was no intent to keep these items and they were returned. They are preventing the Secretary General and secretary from doing the ITF business and, once again, we ask you to send all mail, certificate applications and payments to the Secretary General at address Brunner Strasse 190/2/16, 1210 Vienna, AUSTRIA, Fax:+43 1 2941752 or E-mail t.mac@chello.at. We guarantee the service which you are entitled to without interference and it has been approved by our President. Yours in Taekwon-Do Master Tom MacCallum Secretary General on behalf of the ITF --__--__-- Message: 9 From: "Mac" To: Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2002 19:35:31 -0600 Subject: [The_Dojang] Congratulations Master Hodder Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net I too want to publicly add my congratulations to Rich and Rosemary.
