Dieting does not work, report UCLA researchers report who analyzed 31 long-term studies on dieting. "You can initially lose five to 10 percent of your weight on any number of diets, but then the weight comes back," said Traci Mann, UCLA associate professor of psychology and lead author of the study. "We found that the majority of people regained all the weight, plus more."

1. Scientists find missing link to understand how plants make vitamin C
   04-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Vitamin C is possibly the most important small molecule whose biosynthetic pathway remained a mystery. That is until now. A group of Dartmouth and UCLA researchers, who normally work on genes involved in aging and cancer in animals, discovered the last piece of the puzzle, they report in a study published online April 26 in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.

2. MIT reveals the tangle under turbulence
   03-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Turbulence is important in virtually all phenomena involving fluid flow, such as air and gas mixing in an engine and ocean waves breaking on a cliff. Now MIT researchers report that they have visualized for the first time a convoluted tangle underlying turbulence. This work may ultimately help engineers design better planes, cars and more.

   11-20-2006 · EurekAlert!
   In new work, researchers report that the ability of plants to defend themselves by accumulating high levels of a toxic element can be overcome by some insects, and that such adaptation potentially echoes in the food web as other predators and parasites may in turn evolve to deal with high levels of the toxic element.

   01-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
   UCLA researchers report that for patients hospitalized with acute heart failure, a higher body mass index (BMI) was associated with a substantially lower in-hospital mortality rate. The finding offers more insight into an observed phenomenon in chronic heart failure called the "obesity paradox."

7. Why women get more migraines than men
   08-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
   New UCLA research suggests that women have a faster trigger than men for activating the waves of brain activity thought to underlie migraines. If the theory is correct, this triggering mechanism may be a new target for migraine treatment. In a separate report, the researchers report preliminary success in preventing migraines using a drug that blocks these waves.
