"This paper is a response to “High-Protein Diets--Are You Losing More Than Weight?” by Monique Gilbert. The article appeared in the American Naturopathic Medical Association’s quarterly publication MONITOR (vol.5, #4, 2001) and is posted at http://www.anma.com.

In the December issue of the Monitor, there was an **unreferenced ** article by a self-styled “health advocate” named Monique Gilbert that deserves considerable comment for the large amount of errors and misinformation it contained. “High-Protein Diets--Are You Losing More Than Weight?” is little more than a vegan and soy propaganda piece. If the propaganda were accurate, one could forgive Ms. Gilbert for her zeal. In this case, however, it is not and inaccuracies cost lives. "

These are the opening paragraphs by Dr. Stephen Byrnes {PhD, RNCP} in an online article entitled High Protein Diets: Separating Fact from Fiction ; see full text, **including references ** in his case, at http://www.powerhealth.net/protein2001.htm .

Nice to see both critical thinking and speaking up, counter to the politically correct stream, by a Nutritionist because, admittedly, it is rare for me to run across it... note that **emphases ** in the above quote are mine.
