14. The Case against the Liquid Protein Diet A weight-reducing diet heavily promoted some years ago required the daily intake of "liquid protein" (soup of hy- drolyzed gelatin), water, and an assortment of vitamins. All other food and drink were to be avoided. People on this diet typically lost 10 to 14 lb in the first week. (a) Opponents argued that the weight loss was almost entirely due to water loss and would be regained very soon after a normal diet was resumed. What is the biochemical ba- sis for this argument? (b) A number of people on this diet died. What are some of the dangers inherent in the diet, and how can they lead to death?

21. The product CREON (pancrelipase) contains 3000 units of lipase, 9500 units of protease, and 15,000 units of amylase in delayed-release capsules. The capsules are to be swallowed whole or the contents added uncrushed to food immediately prior to administration. The dose should not exceed 2500 lipase units/kg of body weight. If a child weighing 24 pounds ingests five CREON capsules, has he exceeded the maximum dose?

Part I - Geographical Variation in Tolerance to Dairy l.i - Survey of Dairy Intolerance Björn: Linda: Wait, so are you saying that where you're from, people are generally not able to digest milk? At home in Sweden, we eat dairy products like milk and cheese all the time and everyone I know seems to tolerate it well. That's so interesting! I'm curious to see how that maps to the world and if what you observed could be generally true. Let's do a survey in the international dorm and find out who is tolerant to dairy and where they are from. I'll put a black dot for a dairy tolerant person in his or her home country and a white dot for a dairy intolerant person. I'll start with Xiao-Ma-one white dot in China!
