Raylene Reimer worked with a team of researchers from the University of Calgary, Canada, to carry out the weaning experiments in 18 litters of rats.

Thin, crunchy, high in protein and low in fat, the packet of crisps is made of pulverised beef or turkey crisps, reports The Telegraph.

It has been believed that formula-fed babies, who tend to be bigger, are "programmed" to store fat and so have a higher risk of childhood obesity. Now, an international study of 1,000 babies, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, has suggested that protein levels in formula should fall. The study, which was carried out in Belgium, Italy, Germany, Poland and Spain, included babies born between 2002 and 2004....]]> http://www.medindia.net/news/High-Protein-Levels-Make-Bottlefed-Babies-Grow-Faster-Study-50451-1.htm http://www.medindia.net/news/Omega-3-Fatty-Acids-can-Prevent-Weight-Gain-47487-1.htm According to a new study, diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids protect the liver from damage caused by obesity and the insulin resistance it provokes. The findings are important to clinicians for providing education to obese patients about how to prevent medical complications of obesity, while guiding weight loss.

But fat isn't necessarily bad, argues Gary Taubes in his "Good Calories, Bad Calories," published in the US recently. The notion that fatty foods shorten your life began as a hypothesis based on dubious assumptions and data and attempts to confirm it have failed time and again, Taubes, a correspondent for the Science magazine, says.
