	American Heart Association
		Heart disease is the leading cause of diabetes-related deaths, yet many diabetes patients do not understand this risk or its cause.
		Insulin resistance is a core metabolic dysfunction associated with type 2 diabetes and an increased risk for heart disease and stroke.
		Insulin resistance is associated with blood lipid imbalances, such as an increased ratio of small low-density lipoprotein (LDL or "bad" cholesterol), low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL or "good" cholesterol), and increased levels of triglycerides, which cause atherosclerosis.

		Importantly, most American adults are dieting.5 Thus, the popularity of diet books promoting high-protein intakes with emphasis on some form of carbohydrate restriction is of concern to informed health professionals because of the lack of scientific evidence to support their claims and their long-term adverse implications for overall health.6,7
		The current average macronutrient composition of the American diet is 12% to 16% of calories from protein, 34% from fat, and 49% from carbohydrate.15,16,24 The majority of dietary advice has focused on the fat content of the diet because fats provide '9 kcal/g, whereas protein and carbohydrate provide '4 kcal/g.
		As the diet is sustained, loss of appetite associated with ketosis leads to lower total caloric intake.33 High-protein diets of $30% kilocalories from protein also can promote negative energy balance due to significant restriction in the type and amount of foods eaten.

	More CPR, less shock for cardiac arrest, heart group urges - CNN.com (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab-6.cs.princeton.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		It is the standard first aid response to someone suffering cardiac arrest, in which the heart stops contracting, sometimes fluttering, or fibrillating, instead.
		Previous guidelines have also stressed the need to give urgent shocks from a device called a defibrillator, which would normally be administered by emergency medical personal after their arrival at the scene.
		"The idea is that the CPR prepares the heart to better accept the shock and have the shock work," Rea, an associate professor of medicine at Harborview Medical Center at the University of Washington in Seattle, said in a statement.
