Anyone else watch The Biggest Loser?

I watched it some last season, but only caught the finale of this season that aired last night. Unbelievable! At least a couple people on the show lost over 50% of their original weight. The winner, Erik, went from over 400 pounds to under 195. Look at these before and after photos: www.nbc.com/.../erik_before1.jpg www.nbc.com/.../erik_finale10.jpg Hard to even believe this is the same guy!

    I guess I'll have to jump in on the controversy. So, are there no benefits whatsoever to vegies that are loaded with antioxidants? That's not what I said. What I said is that supplementing your diet with antioxidants (like CoQ, Vit E or C) is of no proven benefit. Raising HDL (good cholesterol) was supposed to be a good thing; it turns out that may not be the case.
