I think they (the establishment) know the Atkins diet works, but they consider it "unhealthy". Also a rumour going around that Dr.Atkins died of a heart attack due to his diet..which is untrue, but you know how rumours work..next thing you know people are believing it. I personally know it works..did it over 28 years ago, and going to do it again.because I do not want to be hungry and dieting.
This whole article smacks of "what came first..the chicken or the egg?" Obesity- high cholestrol - slimming down - lower cholesterol. More amazing is people are dying of heart attacks with "normal" cholesterol levels and in perfect health..what about that? Maybe our high stress society has something to do with it??
