hCG 'Diet' Controversy: Dangerous Diet Or Healthy Hormone Treatment?
 
The Huffington Post / Dean Praetorius / 02/22/11

The hCG "Diet" has been stirring quite a bit of controversy after Dr. Oz took a closer examination of the already controversial weight-loss program.

While the wildly popular doctor said the treatment requires "further examination," many doctors don't approve. However, some dieters disagree.

The program, which has dieters consume less than 500 calories per day, is supplemented by "daily shots of a hormone produced by pregnant women called human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG)."

But the question of whether it works or not has raised a lot of questions about the "diet." While hCG proponents claim to lose up to 30 pounds in a single month, those results aren't unexpected on such a restricted diet.

Perhaps most importantly, the FDA deems hCG shots illegal and fraudulent.

From Dr. Oz's Website:

What about the hCG injections -- doesn't that make the diet more effective? No. Promoters of the hCG diet claim that when people are injected with hCG hormone they don't feel hungry even though they're not eating. The idea of using hCG injections to curb appetite was introduced over 50 years ago and has been carefully studied in over a dozen well-done trials. Every single well-done trial showed that the hCG injections were no better than injecting a salt-water placebo. In other words, people injected with hCG lost the same amount of weight as people injected with a salt-water placebo.

According to Dr. Oz, the shots don't even make the restricted diet any safer.

Israel appoints gay activist as labor court judge
22 Feb 2011 / by David Taffet / Dallas Voice

While Israel's executive branch has become quite conservative, it's judicial branch always has been very liberal.

This week, LGBT rights activist Dori Spivak was appointed to the national labor court in Tel Aviv, according to the Israeli newspaper Ma'Ariv. While other openly gay judges have been appointed in the past, his appointment is being hailed as the first appointment of someone who has advocated for LGBT rights.

Spivak, a graduate of Harvard, is best known for serving as chairman of the Association for Civil Rights in Israel. In 1997, he won a case in the Supreme Court that allowed Israeli television to air a program about gay teens.

Ma'Ariv, a moderate Israeli newspaper, opens its coverage of the appointment by saying, "The appointment of attorney Dori Spivak as judge to make waves."

But the concerns the newspaper details have nothing to do with Spivak's sexual orientation. They worry about his appointment to a court that has ruled in the past that a company doesn't have a religion so that forbidding work on Sabbath is not relevant. They also voice concern over how he might rule on cases brought by settlers in the West Bank.

"Nevertheless, controversial political views should not disqualify a candidate for judicial office," the newspaper concludes without mentioning anything about his sexual orientation.

All of Israel's LGBT rights have been gained through the courts, including pension benefits for same-sex partners of military personnel, recognition of same-sex marriages performed elsewhere and adoption rights.
