I caught the piece on MSNBC his afternoon. Very good coverage. It was followed by an in-studio interview with Bonnie Brehm, who did the U of Cincinnati study. She said she was very surprised by the results of her AHA-sponsored study, which paralleled the Duke study results. "It wasn't what we hypothesized," she said. But she wouldn't recommend Atkins because the studies have been short-term.

Yes, and what about the long-term studies of low-fat dieting, none of which brought the predicted results?
