Prison grub never had a high culinary reputation, but now some inmates say its not just the taste they dont like.

Illinois convicts have gone to court, claiming that too much soy in their diets has left them with severe health problems, including heart issues and thyroid damage, along with allergic reactions and gastrointestinal distress.

Eddie Martinez, 50, was released in September after 4 1/2 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections, where he says his claims of gastric distress - belching, pain, cramps and constipation - and his fear that they were connected to his soy-rich diet there, were not taken seriously. He continues to see doctors for problems that he says will not go away, though he takes many medications.

At my age, my health is a concern, says Mr. Martinez, a native of Puerto Rico who came to the U.S. when he was 8. I keep reading about cancer risks, and obviously this is upsetting.

Now, Illinois is the target of a lawsuit filed by attorneys for the Washington, D.C.-based Weston A. Price Foundation on behalf of several Illinois inmates.

The foundation argues that inmates in the Illinois Department of Corrections regularly consume about 100 grams of soy protein, when just about 25 grams is recommended as part of a healthy diet. The lawsuit seeks to stop the use of soy in prison recipes, a common tactic that cuts food costs at many correctional facilities around the nation.

Sally Fallon Morell, the foundations founder and president, said prison diets in Illinois changed under then-Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich in 2003. While meat patties served to inmates used to be filled with very nutrient-dense organ meat, the new burgers changed to 70 percent soy protein and about 30 percent actual meat.

They started using soy cheese on macaroni and cheese, soy nuggets in spaghetti sauce, soy flour added to all baked goods, she said. The first thing that shows up is digestive disorders. Soy is extremely hard to digest, so you get vomiting, chronic constipation and horrible gas. You can imagine the effects in close quarters after eating this.

In recent years, the $4 billion soy industry has seen its products receive acclaim as part of a healthy diet, helping to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, relieve symptoms associated with menopause and reduce certain cancer risks.

But scientists acknowledge that many people suffer from soy allergies that can contribute to gastric symptoms similar to those described by Mr. Martinez, including abdominal pain, nausea and diarrhea.

AURORA, Colo. One in six couples has a hard time getting pregnant, some with no real explanation as to why.

Now some are looking at their diet, because doctors say what you eat can affect your chances of having a baby.

The Wootens are believers. The Aurora couple went through three rounds of in vitro fertilization before they got pregnant, and they think their diet may have been what finally did the trick.

I think it played a huge factor, said Kelly Wooten. She bought a book called The Fertility Diet by Sarah Dobbyn, and she followed the advice of her doctors at the Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine.

Dr. William Schoolcraft, the director of the clinic, says diet can affect fertility in both good and bad ways. He says first make sure you avoid smoking, alcohol and caffeine, and stay away from saturated fats.

He says do not go on a high protein-low carb diet if youre trying to get pregnant. Weve done a study showing that impairs fertility, he said.

Dr Schoolcraft says women should eat lots of vegetables, and fruits with antioxidants like blueberries. He also suggests taking supplements to boost nitric oxide levels and improve blood flow.

Blood flow to the testicles and ovaries would improve sperm and egg production, he said. Lean meats will help boost iron levels, and while some experts suggest giving up dairy, Dr. Schoolcraft suggests two servings a day.

Kelly Wooten ate a lot of nuts, avocados, and sweet potatoes, paying attention to the omega-3 fatty acids. She also ate a lot of lean organic meats, grains, vegetables and fruit. Now she has a beautiful baby girl named Ava, and she is glad she made the effort.

I think you have to take care of your body first, so that your body can take care of a baby, she said.

Diet changes helping more couples conceive

MIAMI, Feb. 28 (UPI) -- People who drink diet soft drinks daily might have increased risk of vascular events such as stroke, heart attack and vascular death, U.S. researchers said.

Study leader Hannah Gardener, an epidemiologist at the University at Miami, and colleagues at Columbia University Medical Center in New York, said artificially sweetened soft drinks are marketed as healthier alternatives to sugar-sweetened beverages, but their long-term health consequences remain unclear, she said.

Gardener and her team examined the relationship between both diet and regular soft drink among 2,564 participants in the Northern Manhattan Study, designed to determine stroke incidence, risk factors and prognosis in a multi-ethnic urban population.

After taking into account pre-existing vascular conditions, including body mass index, diabetes, high cholesterol and hypertension, the researchers found individuals who drank diet soft drinks daily were 43 percent more likely to have suffered a vascular event than those who didn't drink any.

In addition, those who drank diet soft drinks irregularly -- between one a month and six a week -- and those who chose regular soft drinks were not more likely to suffer vascular events.

"Our results suggest a potential association between daily diet soft drink consumption and vascular outcomes," Gardener said in a statement. "However, the mechanisms by which soft drinks may affect vascular events are unclear. There is a need for further research before any conclusions can be drawn regarding the potential health consequences of diet soft drink consumption."

We realize there's only so much time one can spend in a day watching new trailers, viral video clips, and shaky cell phone footage of people arguing on live television. This is why every day The Atlantic Wire highlights the videos that truly earn your five minutes (or less) of attention. Today: Jimmy Kimmel's post-Oscars special now features more star power than the actual Oscars, a Diet Coke about movies made us tear up, and revisiting Sacha Baron Cohen's red carpet ash-throwing.

As with the actual Academy Awards, your appreciation for Jimmy Kimmel's annual post-Oscars special depends in large part on how forgiving you are of leisurely paced, star-packed television. Case in point: the centerpiece of last night's show was a 9-minute-long parody trailer for a movie called Movie: The Movie. Nine minutes! But it also had the likes Matt Damon, Meryl Streep, Helen Mirren, Tom Hanks, George Clooney, Jessica Alba, Charlize Theron, Jason Bateman, and Gary Oldman showing what good sports they could be. On a night in which a black-and-white silent movie from France won Best Picture, we were willing to swap brevity for an extra dose of star power. [ABC]

Considering that Sacha Baron Cohen spent a major chunk of last week in character promoting The Dictator and showed up on the red carpet last night carrying an urn, it's remarkable how much being covered in the purported ashes of Kim Jong Il seemed to frazzle Ryan Seacrest. What did he think was going to happen? More pressingly, what did Seacrest think was in the prop urn? If you're going to be talking with Sacha Baron Cohen on live television, these are really questions that are worth asking, especially if you're going to get upset when your suit is covered in soot.

Despite swearing never to be moved by a Diet Coke ad, we were moved by the Diet Coke ad that aired during the Oscars last night. It's all about Diet Coke and how much people who make movies like to drink it, but it wormed its way into our heart with a lovely orchestral score and a behind-the-scenes look at how what Martin Scorsese would call a picture is made.

There was a major event in astronomy over the weekend, when Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and the moon lined up to form a "triple conjunction" that was visible on both Saturday and Sunday night, assuming you live in a place where light pollution isn't too severe. If you live in a place where the view of the night sky is fuzzy at best, Stephen Ramsden of solarastronomy.org took some of his slides from Saturday's sky and turned them into a jaunty, timelapse video that made us jealous of what we missed.

Diet Soda-Bad for the Heart?: Diet soda may not be great for your diet after all. A 10-year study published online in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, found that the daily drinking of diet soda was linked with a higher risk for stroke, heart attack and death. Even after controlling other risks, including diabetes, the researchers found that drinking diet soda daily could still be linked to heart problems and death. (7:11 p.m.) via New York Times

New Eggs for Women?: Dr. Jonathan Tilly is at it again, proposing that women have the biological capability to replenish their eggs, much the way men do sperm. He presented his earlier findings on the subject in 2004 without success, as other scientists could not verify his work. Now Tilly, director of the Vincent Center for Reproductive Biology at Massachusetts General Hospital, says he and his team have identified stem cells in adult human ovaries, possibly enabling the growth of new eggs. At DNews, we have our doubts and will wait for further tests before putting any of our eggs in his basket. (6:00 p.m.) via i09

Rough Seas: As we approach the 30th anniversary of the Falklands War, the Argentine government is ratcheting-up tensions in the South Atlantic region after denying the docking of two cruise ships at Tierra Del Fuego, on the country's southern tip. The reason? The ships had paid a visit to the Falkland Islands, an archipelago that remains under the protectorate of the United Kingdom (around 3,000 Brits live on the islands), yet the Argentines claim as their own. Tension has been rising in recent months as the UK dispatched its most advanced warship to the islands and Argentina has prevented any Falkland-bound supply ships from docking in its ports.

Anchor Kills Internet: The Internet is not as infallible as we have come to believe.

Honest Diet Pills Announces New Website Design to Improve User Experience

With one in 30 of the UK population now classed as morbidly obese, the NHS is spending increasing amounts on weight-loss stomach surgery.

Figures released by the NHS Information Centre last week showed there had been a 30-fold increase in bariatric surgeries in a decade - up from 261 in 2000/01 to 8,087 in 2010/11.

While some NHS trusts continue to fund such surgeries for people with life-threatening obesity, others prefer to take a different approach.

In Leeds, teenager Emma Jane Money has recently undergone a gastric bypass operation.

She lost more than two stone in weight in the two weeks since the NHS paid for her to have the surgery at the private Thornbury hospital in Sheffield.

'Potentially dangerous'

The 16-year-old, who weighed more than 21st (133kg) before the operation, said she had tried to diet and exercise more but had been unable to lose weight on her own.

She told the BBC's Inside Out programme: "With constant images of rib cages and bones and bony elbows and things like that it is hard and people do get this idea in their head that this is what every person is meant to be.

"It's really hard when someone then looks at me and thinks 'they're not right, that's not normal'."

People shouldn't be desperate to have bariatric surgery, they should be desperate to change their life around and to work to lose weight”

End Quote Dr Tim Allison NHS East Riding of Yorkshire

Emma said she was "excited" about losing weight.

"I will get to wear all the new fashion trends with my friends. I will get to go anywhere and I don't have to worry about people saying things or judging me."

About 1% of patients die after weight-loss operations but consultant surgeon Roger Ackroyd, who operated on Emma, said the benefits of the surgery far outweighed the risks.

"It's extreme, it's potentially dangerous but it really does work," he said.

"People come to me and say... you are spending hard-earned taxpayers' money treating people who basically all they need to do is eat less and exercise more. That's a very valid argument.

"The only thing I would say is these people such as Emma would in time go on to need a hip replacement, knee replacement, she'll go on diabetic medication, she'll go on blood pressure medication and cancer is much more common in overweight people.

Mandy Bennett is going through the Live Well programme

"If we can invest in this type of surgery now then it saves the NHS money in the long term."

In the East Riding of Yorkshire, people with a body mass index of more than 45 are being referred to a programme where they are given a personal trainer and nutrition advice.

Mandy Bennett, from Driffield, is one of nearly 50 patients signed up to the Live Well scheme and has lost three stone.

She said: "I have been maintaining my weight for three or four months now which is a big part of it. Learning to maintain your weight is as big an issue as losing the weight."

She said that without the help of her personal trainer she would "still be sat in front of the TV eating the wrong things, getting bigger, getting more unhealthy and probably not anywhere near as happy as I am".

Dr Tim Allison, NHS East Riding of Yorkshire's director of public health, said: "We have seen the number of surgical operations drastically go down by about 80%.

"The levels of bariatric surgery had been increasing quite considerably and we didn't have the services in place to give people the opportunity to have that dedicated six to nine months of intensive diet and physical activity.

"We felt it would be far better if we could put that in place rather than simply have people go forward to surgery.

"People shouldn't be desperate to have bariatric surgery, they should be desperate to change their life around and to work to lose weight."

Inside Out Yorkshire and Lincolnshire is broadcast on Monday 27 February on BBC One at 19:30 GMT and nationwide on the iPlayer for seven days thereafter.
