FromVA, expect to see *more* of such public bickering from the entrenched, misinformed forces... their ill-gotten reputations and careers are riding on it to the extent they refuse to compromise and adjust to the new medical studies chiming in. As more data accumulates proving the health benefits of controlled-carb nutrition, the Fumento's, Ornish's et al will potentially resort to even more desperate measures, from character attacks, topic-deflection, rumors, etc. since, after all, they'll have even less of a leg to stand on. Their authority wasn't based on serious research, so they don't have much of a leg to stand on - with any luck, we'll see their house of cards crumble someday - but not without the Mother of All Battles.
