Re: Three Medical studies lend weight to low-carb-diet claims

A study by Robert Eckel, from the University of Colorado in Denver, found that a high-carb, low-fat diet helped people lose weight only if their bodies were engineered to burn the carbs rather than store them as fat. Consequently, obese people who had the inherited propensity for fat storage were not helped by the high-carb diet — even though thinner folks in the study sometimes ate a high amount of carbs and kept off extra pounds without increasing their physical activity.

Now this is interesting, since Dr. Robert Eckel was the author of the AHA's anti-Atkins announcement last March:

In addiition to being quoted by the PCRM and the Ornish gang against low-carb diets, quite often!
