I don't understand your post at all.

It's not as though Mercola has sided with Ornish or something. He has preached the low carb way of eating for years, and if he disagreed with Atkins on some points, he has also had many good things to say about him. It's funny that since Mercola has decided to preach the gospel according to 'The Metabolic Typing Diet' his dietary views have become even closer to Atkins, at least for his own 'type'.

His anti-grain book has been in the works for many months; it is not something thrown together to take advantage of Atkin's death in some way. And as for marketing his wares, well, Atkins was a one man corporation for many years, what with all of his products and many books. And have you caught the Eades infomercial?

All of these people are trying to make a buck, not just Mercola.
