[PHNUTR-L] "Diet Wars" on Frontline on April 8

[Christina Stark]

Dear colleagues:

PBS's Frontline will air a program entitled "Diet Wars" on April 8, 2004. 
Check your local listing for times.  A brief  description from their 
website is below. A longer press release can be found at 
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/press/2211.html

Americans spend $40 billion a year on books, products, and programs 
designed to do one thing: help us lose weight. From Atkins to Ornish and 
Weight Watchers to the Zone, today's dieters have a dizzying array of 
weight loss programs from which to choose--yet the underlying principles of 
these diets are often contradictory. Is low fat better than low carb? Is 
Atkins the answer? And has the USDA Food Pyramid done more harm than good? 
In "Diet Wars," FRONTLINE examines the great diet debate.
