My mother (a new convert!) saw a news show which she says made the statement that Ornish and some other low fat guru(McDougall?) are in a sense partially responsible for the diabetes epidemic.

Has anybody else seen this broadcast?

In the last issue of Time magazine in the milestones section they had a blurb for Swami Satchidananda who passed away at 87, of whom Ornish is a devotee. So it seems to me that Ornish's science is biased by his religious beliefs.
