God bless Dr. Atkins. He saved my life. Other authors, doctors, and experts have taken up his clarion call.
The Center for “Science” in the Public “Interest” have successfully de-fatted a lot of foods, which has caused the obesity and diabetes epidemics in our country.
Things like canned meats and fish are so bone-dry and cardboardy that I can’t even get my cats to eat them.
And (I’m convinced) it was all to enhance their profits from their participation in the “weight loss” industry.
But remember, “It’s Better With Butter!”
And I agree that it was a stinking lie to bandy about that Dr. Atkins’s death was from his diet.
Another lie they told was that he died very fat. No, he had edema from the drugs with which they were treating his severe head injury.
I was a member of the Atkins Diet forum at the time, and we got the truth from the Atkins Co. people about that tragedy.
So many interesting spinoffs from his research as well, such as the “almost all fat” diet that radically limits seizures in epileptics that get no benefit from anti-seizure drugs.
And just within the last day or two, it was announced that there really is no cardio benefit to lowering total cholesterol, and that saturated fats are likely quite good for you.
