I don't have my copy of my book handy right now, but I do remember reading that Dr. Atkins discouraged its use, not recommended it.


It is discouraged, but as for the rest, that's the kind of misinformation and rumor that urban legends are made of... Kind of like getting breast cancer from wearing a bra, or antiperspirant giving you cancer because you can't "sweat out" waste..nevermind the millions of OTHER sweat glands still functioning...<sigh>
