Here's a whole new piece of idiocy from the 'experts'.

"But because Atkins is high in saturated fat, allows few high-fiber foods and eliminates most dairy products, researchers worry that it might lead to other health problems."

'eliminates most dairy products'??? Where do these people come up with this stuff? Frankly, the ignorance that the scientific and medical establishment shows when it comes to low carb nutrition has made me doubt all areas of scientific knowledge. I now take everything with an extra large grain of salt. If they can't understand a very simple way of eating, which is out there in millions of copies of Atkins and others' books, how can they possibly understand the really complicated questions? Sheesh!
