Now that is one crap study I say. Imagine people having been spoonfed and brainwashed to believe fat is the root of all evil, then told they can follow this high-fat diet to the extent they want... yeah I can absolutely see them all being very enthusiastic about it.
As a side-note, I doubt very many followed the Ornish diet either, lol!

Yeah, but just think how those poor schmucks sentenced to Ornish felt when they heard they only had to follow it to the extent they wanted! Woo-hoo! Yeah, baby!

Oh, I don't know. It will probably cut more ice in discussions on fark.com, with my friends, or my sister than other studies, like the Atkins-funded study a few months back.
