Any of you obesity buffs will probably like the latest issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Apart from the publicised review of low carbohydrate diets, there is a plethora of other articles on drugs, behavioural techniques and the likes on obesity.
Very interesting reading.
There is also a short interview with atkins, ornish and wadden. The low carb review is relatively boring, with lots of stats and the likes (unlike what other whiners on mfw have said, its not a meta-analysis). The more interesting read is the associated editorial commentary by George Bray.
I do like the comment in the low carb article, which should annoy a large number of JAMA readership as well as a lot of dietitians out there.

(emphasis mine)[b said:Quote[/b] ]There is currently insufficient evidence to make recommendations for or against the use of low carbohydrate diets, particularly amongst participants older than age 50, for use longer than 90days, or for diets of 20g/d or less of carbohydrates
