I don't know what happened with me because I neglected to have any bloodwork before the diet. But, the reason I felt comfortable with doing this diet is because the American Heart Association did a study on this diet where they discovered that overal lipids improved with this diet. I just took for granted, because of this study, that my results would be good. Well anyway, I have had bloodwork done twice in the 1 1/2 years that I have been doing this. As of December my HDL=77 LDL=59 triglycerides=59 glucose=98

I am very leary about this news of the lawsuit.Why aren't health officials falling all over themselves to make restrictions on this diet like they did with ephedra? I have heard two different amounts of money that the victim is seeking ( $15,000.00 and $28,000.00 ). What kind of lawsuit money is that?!? That will be just enough to pay all dem lawyers. Why is this even getting any press? I think it is BS.
