A modified version of a popular low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet is nearly as effective at controlling seizures as the highly restrictive ketogenic diet, Johns Hopkins Children's Center researchers report.

"Our findings suggest relatively good efficacy compared to the ketogenic diet," said Eric Kossoff, M.D., a pediatric neurologist at Johns Hopkins Children's Center. "With 20 patients, our study wasn't large enough to say patients and physicians should replace the proven, but highly restricted ketogenic diet, but the results are encouraging and intriguing."

The common elements in both the ketogenic and Atkins diets are relatively high fat and low carbohydrate foods that alter the body's chemistry. The ketogenic diet mimics some of the effects of starvation, in which the body first uses up glucose and glycogen before burning stored body fat.

Putting a square peg into a round hole may be the best way to describe trying to fit research in acupuncture into the Western medical model for determining its effectiveness in treating physical ailments. So when it comes to evaluating acupuncture for the treatment of mental health problems the peg fits even less. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) does not share the same perspectives on these mood conditions as Western medicine.

Acupuncture is the best-known aspect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the West. The term acupuncture, however, can be misleading, as it is understood by many to imply a coherent and uniform model of practice.

If the kids haven't started to complain about the food in the school cafeteria or the lunches you're packing, don't worry. They probably soon will.

In "The Family Kitchen" by Debra Ponzek (Clarkson Potter, $25) are 125 recipes to break the monotony — many of which the kids can help you make. The chapter headings are a bit unconventional. There's "breakfast," then there's "breakfast in bed." There's "desserts" and also "bake sales." You'll find "snow days" and "lazy winter weekends."

But get past the cute titles and you'll find some kid-friendly favorites, such as smoothies, pasta and burgers — many with a twist. The turtle brownies are too messy for the lunchbox and won't earn any nutrition points, but they are a decadent treat both the kids and grown-ups will enjoy.
