The Twinkie diet works, Stephen Harper gets chatty, and bilingualism delays Alzheimer's
Who says Twinkies are bad for you? Kansas State University professor Mark Haub lost 26.2 pounds in 10 weeks. His secret? A diet of nothing but Twinkies, Doritos, doughnuts, and other foods high in saturated fats. Haub's cholesterol levels also improved and his body fat percentage went down by 8.5 percent. The professor says he wants to show dieters they can eat treats and still lose weight, but does not advocate an all-junk-food diet. Shame.
