Bear,

I believe that your diet is healthy. What I have a hard time with is that VLC is not. You have stated that people around you eating carbs are in poor health and dying. We all know that's the case with the general public. But can you honestly say that you know people who have intentionally reduced their intake to only 50g of carbs or so/day for an extended period of time who are still in poor health?

Dr. Wolfgang Lutz experimented for 40 years putting patients on low carb diets and determined that they remained healthy (and existing disease disappeared) as long as intake was below 72g of carbs per day. He saw no significant difference even if carbs were totally eliminated.

Another question: Do you get calculus on your teeth?
