On the main health page, it says it's a 5 part series, so it' ll be on all week.

Yes, they've updated the page with the week's schedule. Looks interesting. Too bad the week starts with Low-Carb diets, and the last word goes to Ornish and low-fat/starvation diets.

What happened? I watched Monday and saw Dr. Sears. I tuned in yesterday and I think I watched all of Connie Chung's show, but no Atkins. No mention of it. Tonight she has Ornish listed as a guest. Did I miss something?

Some balanced look at diets! She was very sarcastic about Atkins on Monday when she announced that he would be on.

Oh well. What ever they say, Atkins is right, low-carb is right.
