Their mindless scare tactics are really getting old. I wonder how many people have lived well into their 60's and beyond without any sort of heart issues while still eating meat. I'm sure the numbers are staggering.
Quote:
Jody Gorran, a 53-year-old Florida businessman, personally experienced both ED and cardiovascular disease while following the meat-heavy Atkins diet. After two years on the diet, Mr. Gorran needed his first Viagra prescription, and six months later, underwent his first angioplasty after having developed a 99 percent blockage of a major coronary artery. Mr. Gorran says, “Erectile dysfunction was the least of my problems. After my cardiac procedure, I refused to continue on the Atkins diet. I switched to a healthy, low-saturated fat diet. Within 60 days, my cholesterol level dropped from 215 to 146, and much to my surprise, I didn’t need the Viagra anymore.

Maybe they'll be willing to release Mr. Gorran's medical records to help prove their case.
