Amber, that was a great post. I'm going to go read your journal.

As to the rest of the thread, I'm really quite amazed at how nice you guys are to some schmoe like Toner who just wanted to get a rise out of anyone.

Whoever that was, probably some bored 12 year-old girl (and probably Canadian or from some other place where British chocolate is for sale - Aero bars are British), was only interested in honing some manipulative techniques, giving out some abuse, and throwing in a few logical fallacies. TomX, you caught one easily - the Appeal to Authority, with the AHA as the authority. Although if you actually check the article the Toner entity linked to, the AHA didn't say anything too conclusive about Atkins, just that they don't endorse the diet and they feel it lacks enough vegetables and fruit.

Poofie, I have PCOS as well. Has your sister visited Soul Cysters?
