I don&#8217;t know why. I don&#8217;t have kids. I first got interested in this stuff ten years ago when I worked for a dotcom start-up set up by Miriam Stoppard. In the Times last week, I stumbled across an article about NutureShock. Written by journalists Ashley Merryman and Po Bronson, the book says parents are wrong to praise children for their innate skills. So telling a child they are bright, a legacy of the 1970s self esteem movement, could actually result in them becoming risk averse and complacent under achievers, argue the authors. Ashley and Po base the book on the research of Stanford professor Carol Dweck. How many doctors, I wonder, were praised relentlessly as children?<\/p>\n<p>Talking of praised children, I&#8217;m currently reading, Personality, (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Personality-Andrew-OHagan\/dp\/0571217753\">http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Personality-Andrew-OHagan\/dp\/0571217753<\/a>) by Andrew O&#8217;Hagan. The novel is based on the life of child star Lena Zavaroni, (<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lena_Zavaroni\">http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lena_Zavaroni<\/a>) who died aged 35 in 1999 following a long battle with anorexia. Its hero Maria Tambini is catapulted to fame after winning Hughie Green&#8217;s Opportunity Knocks and is uprooted from her chip shop home in Scotland to the vast Primrose Hill villa of her London agent. Tambini is certainly praised, but only really from people with a pecuniary interest in her success, including a ruthlessly ambitious mother. I&#8217;m halfway through and Tambini&#8217;s eating disorder is taking hold. The most poignant passage to date is am epistolary chapter between Maria and her childhood friend, the daughter of the local (Indian) doctor. The friend talks of pop music, teenage crushes and exam subjects. Maria, who has never read a book in her life, has less and less to say, despite sharing a stage with Liberace and singing for Ronald and the pencil-thin Nancy Reagan (who tells her to watch her figure). All we get are make-up tips from a disengaged lonely teenager with an increasingly negative self-image.<br \/>\n<strong>David Payne, editor bmj.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jama.ama-assn.org\/cgi\/content\/full\/303\/5\/448?home\">http:\/\/jama.ama-assn.org\/cgi\/content\/full\/303\/5\/448?home<\/a><br \/>\nThis commentary in JAMA suggests we should be cautious in urging universal sodium reduction. The author points out that the data in support of this strategy come from observational studies and are conflicting. He reminds us that the 1980 US government recommendations to decrease dietary fat are now suspected of contributing to the ensuing obesity epidemic and that &#8220;trans-fat consumption and postmenopausal hormone therapy are other examples of how well-meaning interventions, based on insufficient science, can have hazardous consequences.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jama.ama-assn.org\/cgi\/content\/extract\/302\/22\/2477\">http:\/\/jama.ama-assn.org\/cgi\/content\/extract\/302\/22\/2477<\/a>\u00a0<br \/>\nThis commentary, also from JAMA, nicely summarizes the unanswered questions about the long-term effects of artificial sweeteners on satiety.<br \/>\n<strong>Elizabeth Loder, research editor<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.supportmfm.org\/index.cfm\">http:\/\/www.supportmfm.org\/index.cfm<\/a><br \/>\nI am going to become vegetarian for Lent, so I read about this initiative to persuade people to have \u201cMeat free Mondays\u201d with interest.
