If the Taubes article was biased or inaccurate, yours is even worse. You seem to have such an axe to grind that you exceed the bounds of reason. In all this arguing over minute details I have yet to see any so called medical intellect out there relate the faulty and unnatural high carbohydrate diet they are recommending to the evolutionary development of homo sapiens. We are not an old species, and the radical changes we have made to our diets in the past 10,000 years do not seem to have helped us at all. Anyone who recommends a high starch diet is simply not in touch with the species.

Like it or not, followed properly, Atkins works; and leaner is better.
