Kidney Gets Donated—Twice

Surgeons recycle organ being rejected by first recipient

(AP) - It turns out you can recycle just about anything these days—even kidneys and other organs donated for transplants. In what is believed to be the first documented case of its kind in the US, a transplanted kidney that was failing was removed from a patient while he was still alive and given to somebody else. The donated kidney lasted just two weeks in the first patient, a 27-year-old Illinois man. The same disease that ruined his kidneys started to damage the new kidney, given to him by his sister.

Extreme Diet Cures Type 2 Diabetes

Volunteers cut food intake to 600 calories a day for 2 months

(NEWSER) - British researchers say obesity-related type 2 diabetes, previously considered a lifelong illness, is curable—if you stop eating. Eleven people with diabetes participated in the extreme experiment, slashing their calories to just 600 a day and consuming only specially formulated drinks and non-starchy vegetables for two months. The volunteers' blood sugar returned to normal within a week and, three months after returning to normal eating, seven of the 11 participants remained free of diabetes, reports the Guardian . More»

And the Best Diet Is...

DASH is tops overall; Weight Watchers best for losing pounds: US News

(NEWSER) - The best overall diet is the DASH diet, US News & World Report says in new rankings—but if weight loss is your specific goal, go with Weight Watchers. So what's DASH? It stands for Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension and it's generally meant for adults looking to curb high blood pressure. It's big on "whole grains, fruits, vegetables, low-fat and nonfat dairy foods, lean proteins, nuts and limited amounts of fats and sweets," explains the Los Angeles Times , which writes about it for a different reason: A new study suggests it slows weight gain in teen girls.

How Drew Carey Lost 80 Pounds

Comedian credits 'no bread,' 'lots of cardio'

(NEWSER) - Have you seen a picture of Drew Carey lately? You might not recognize him—the once-portly comedian has dropped a striking 80 pounds from his 5-foot-10 frame and now wears size 33-34 pants. How did he do it? Most important was motivation: "It sucks being fat, you know," Bob Barker's successor as host of The Price Is Right tells People . "I was sick of being fat on the camera. I was diabetic with Type 2 diabetes. Now I'm not diabetic anymore." More»

White Rice Linked to Diabetes Risk

Brown rice lowers risk of developing disease; more study needed

(NEWSER) - People who frequently eat white rice are at greater risk of developing Type 2 diabetes than those who eat less than one serving a month. But rice isn't all bad: Eating the brown variety lowers the likelihood of developing the disease, new research shows. Replacing white rice serving-for-serving with brown rice lowers diabetes risk by 16%, and substituting whole grains—unprocessed grains such as wheat, oats, and barley as well as brown rice—cuts the risk by a whopping 36%.
