Question
4. A weight-reducing diet heavily promoted some years ago required the daily intake of «liquid protein» (soup of hydrolyzed 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 pounds in the first week. 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 basis for this argument? For the answer: a) a number of people on this diet died. Explain some of the dangers inherent in the diet, and how it can lead to death; b) enumerate essential components which are shortened in such diet; c) present particular schemes to confirm your answer.
