Who do they think they are!! Idiots!! We have the same Doctor and He's 100% behind us on the Atkins Diet.
At the same time they have just this week started stocking their shelves with Atkins products.
They are not just morons but total Oxymorons!!!!

Are you sure the warning was about the atkins diet period? Are you sure they weren't warning people about ketoacidosis, or the danger of going on atkins without getting a gtt, and possibly as an undiagnosed diabetic (which could technically result in ketoacidosis)?
You know, when you buy drugs from a pharmacy they give you a little sheet which gives all info about the drug and warnings, maybe your friend misinterpreted it.
That seems VERY illegal if they were just disseminating anti-low carb propaganda.
