I saw the whole show and I'm really disappointed
Here was Dr. Ornish, with his malnourished features having the audacity to state he have read
hundreds or studies showing the dangers of low-carb diets, and
no one asked him for a single study or refernce to the such! ..........
True, the host was fair and balanced, but no one of the
other side's guests was able to call Ornish's bluff to cite any of these so called studies he claims to have found. I'm not sure if the Atkins rep. was qualified, all he was able to say was "Duke" and a few other univesitiy names, but with no content or elaboration!
Atkins could have done a lot better, coming himself or by sending someone who is aware of
some of the research on low-carb, and the low-fat myth.
I could name a few of our none MD members who could have wiped the floor with Ornish, and shown him as the true clown he is!
Sorry, but the strength of the LC argument was not represented. Yes, a few LC followers showed their remarkable success, but so did the vegans! All that was left, was Ornish's unchallanged claims of the dangers of low-carb diets and no one was able to stand up to his bogus claim.
Wa'il
