(Yeah, I'm pretty computer illiterate.

So through that thread, I learned that Dr. Wolfgang Lutz is alive and well, at the age of 95! (He's the author of Life without Bread.) Yay! That made me really, really happy.....at least there is one person who I can point to as an example of living to a ripe old healthy age while eating low carb!
However, Dr. Steven Byrnes, who wrote the introduction to the Life without Bread book, died suddenly of a stroke at age 41. Um, yeah, pretty scarey, and the exact opposite of what I need when I try to explain low-carb to close friends or family.
Also, Blake Donaldson and Alfred Pennington, both low-carb advocates and doctors, both died pretty young, too....
So even though I'm happy about Wolfgang Lutz, I'd have to say that for all the healthy eating most of these famous low-carb advocates are doing, they actually seem to have a shorter lifespan than the average person......
