Thanks for the link to the far more rational recap of the research. I liked this: "It's like a game of telephone: you can actually trace the account from the sober science paper to the enthusiastic press release to the web account with its extravagant claims of a simple, cheap cure for cancer, and see how the story is gradually corrupted. It would be funny if the final result wasn't going to dupe a lot of desperate people."
- Ken Gidley
I don't know if it will affect big pharma's bottom line that much. Unless dichloroacetate is proven to be magnitudes of order superior to existing treatments such that it completely obsoletes them, it's probably going to be used in addition to, rather than as a replacement for what we already have. And monotherapy is not typical for treating cancer anyway. The problem is that because...

Wouldn't US insurers have an incentive to fund studies?
- Andrew C (✓)
I don't think a health insurance company has ever directly sponsored a pharmaceutical study. I mean, clinical trials for FDA approval cost millions and millions of dollars, and I'm not sure that dichloroacetate will necessarily save health insurers millions of millions of dollars right away (assuming it gets approved.) Cancer is common, but not everyone gets it. It would surely be a difficult struggle to keep their stockholders happy if they invested in something with such uncertain returns.

"Anyone who has ever dieted knows that lost pounds often return, and most of us assume the reason is a lack of discipline or a failure of willpower. But Proietto suspected that there was more to it, and he decided to take a closer look at the biological state of the body after weight loss."

"It was almost as if weight loss had put their bodies into a unique metabolic state, a sort of post-dieting syndrome that set them apart from people who hadn’t tried to lose weight in the first place. “What we see here is a coordinated defense mechanism with multiple components all directed toward making us put on weight,” Proietto says. “This, I think, explains the high failure rate in obesity treatment.” "
- Tudor Bosman
Most of these studies are RAPID weight loss studies, and severely calorie restricted diets. It doesn't seem like there is much data related to more gradual weight loss programs. I don't plan on regaining the weight I've lost, period. If that means I have to be 'hyper-vigilant' about my food intake/exercise, so be it.

It does appear that it's the amount of weight loss, not the rate, that is switching the body into post-diet mode.

How To: Adjust Your Mirrors to Avoid Blind Spots - Feature - Car and Driver - http://www.caranddriver.com/feature...
Iván Abrego, Iphigenie, Winckel and 9 other people liked this
"For the past few years, various carmakers have been offering blind-spot detection systems for their cars’ side mirrors. Often complex, these systems employ cameras or radar to scan the adjoining lanes for vehicles that may have disappeared from view. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) published a paper in 1995 suggesting how outside mirrors could be adjusted to eliminate blind spots. The paper advocates adjusting the mirrors so far outward that the viewing angle of the side mirrors just overlaps that of the cabin’s rearview mirror. This can be disorienting for drivers used to seeing the flanks of their own car in the side mirrors. But when correctly positioned, the mirrors negate a car’s blind spots. This obviates the need to glance over your shoulder to safely change lanes as well as the need for an expensive blind-spot warning system. The only problem is getting used to the SAE-recommended mirror positions. The cabin’s rearview mirror is used to keep an eye on what is coming...

My wife adjusts her mirrors as C&D recommends, but I haven't been able to make that adjustment. I need to have my own car in the mirror as a frame of reference for my spatial awareness. 30+ years of driving and that habit isn't going to change anytime soon. I tend to check all my mirrors quite often, so I'm almost always aware of when cars are approaching my blind spots and I take that...

While the simple equation "Eat Less Than You Burn" is essentially true, it requires more that just a mantra to work. It requires effort from those around you, be it Rach looking after Georgia for an hour while I'm on the tread mill to changing the diet of your family etc. It requires assertion and confidence, often from a person who do not have a overflowing supply of it. Losing weight is extremely simple yet extremely difficult at the same time.

Good job Johnny! I calculated earlier this year that just by kicking my soda habit (3 cans a day), I was saving over 53 lbs worth of calories per year! (365 * 3 * 170 kcals/can) = 186150 kcals/year / 3500 kcals/lb = 53.18 lbs/year! O.O
