Here is a link to a "study" being done by WCCO, a television station here in Minnesota. They are using 9 people to study the effectiveness of 3 different diets - including Atkins. What an incredible joke. No matter how the experiment turns out, it can have no possible value. This is what happens when journalists, with no scientific training try to play at science.

Who knows; this article might be doing more for dietary research than thousands of scientists <b>with</b> scientific training who've gone before.

Most articles seem to be of the "Three vegetarians we know have low cholesterol, therefore red meat causes heart disease." variety. Or, "Okinawans live a long time, therefore saturated fat causes heart disease."

<b>If</b> the results, progress, and comments simply get reported without being run too much thru the Meyer-Jax filter, it could be a helpful series.

all the journalists will be able to do will be parrot all they have ever done from the same sloppy studies we got the low fat high carb guidelines from
