I'm not worried...I follow the DANDR book, and everything Dr. Atkins said would happened, happened, and I feel fine.
I think they ARE trying to make the diet more palatable ): to the scientists who can't look a fact in the face and still carry on about too much fat, what kind, etc, when research seems to indicate it's transfats that are the problem.
Yes, they probably are trying to get a larger market share, and while it does get the word out, makes doctors more comfortable recommending the diet, I hate to see people lie in a good cause.
It's all about comfort zones and PR, not the science. So I'm going to just keep on doing what I'm doing. Besides, this could backfire on them...already I've been asked "What does it mean? Have I been doing it wrong? Was Dr. Atkins wrong?"
This is the kind of thing that makes me think they can't back down without looking stupid.
