Re: hostile article in this morning's paper
Quote:
One diabetic patient, John Lyle, lost weight after being a patient at The Atkins' Center, and his diabetes did improve, but his creatinine, a marker of kidney function went from 1.2 pre-Atkin's to 2.3 when he stopped one year later. This represents a loss of 95% of his kidney function in one year while on the Atkins' diet.
He was not informed at The Atkins' Center that a plant-based diet of natural foods would also cause fast, effortless and permanent weight loss and cure his diabetes without causing him serous health risks. John was angry he wasn't given such a choice.

I expect we will hear something from the Atkins Center in response to this piece of propaganda.
It's interesting rehtoric, patients at the Atkins Center are not given a choice? Can you sue them for not offering you the FDA-approved diet plan, or a "plant-based" diet that got you in trouble in the first palce....
