Well, where do you want to discuss it, since you mentioned it here? We've heard it all, from damaging kidneys to spontaneous combustions, as a result of following Atkins, and eating meat and low-carb. Fortunately, they're all stories, not medical research.

Fear tactics are quite useless, in face of all the research that has been done. Eating choleterol is essential to your health, and the fear of it, is similar to the fear of eating fat, wheather nuts, dairy or meat fat.

So if someones's mother in law said that her niece's cousine died because they ate meat while doing Atkins, or something like that, why don't they sue the Atkins Foundation? Or at least report that case to Dr. Ornish, he'd be glad to publish something about it.

Wa'il
