Gary Taubes was on some debate show w/ other doctors taking about low fat vs. Low carb diets. Not just about weight loss but about health risks over long term.
How this other doctor did a study on blood flow to the heart after one & 5 years of eating Low fat & Eating Low carb. The blood flow increased in the people that ate Low fat..but the blood flow to the heart decreased in the people that ate Low carb.
They also talked about how Dr. Atkins has never done his own studies.
The doctors couldn't even agree about weight gain. Two, one of which was Gary, said it was people consuming more Simple Carbs than ever. But one said it was the introduction of cars, computers & such...
They talked about more but I am crossing my fingures that someone else saw this show so that they can explain better than me.
It was quite interesting.
Just wanted to know if anyone else caught it & what they thought.

Thanks
Candice

I tuned in late to the Charlie Rose show on our PBS station one night last week and found Staubs, the notorious Dr. Ornish (huge low-fat promoter, in case you didn't know), and another doctor whose name I don't remember. I missed most of it -

sorry I can't add more...
