Wait.

They’re saying that unlimited red meat, cheese, butter, and eggs are bad for your arteries? Who knew?

Next, they’ll say that smoking is bad for your lungs, and a fifth of Scotch a day is bad for your liver.

Will it never end?

I don't believe very fat people can handle refined carbohydrates. When they're not dieting, most fat people ingest too many calories of all types of food, so Atkins at least cuts the most troublesome foods out of their diets. Even assuming this study is valid, its findings may not be relevant to obese people. When people are saddled with hundreds of pounds of fat and addicted to bagels and muffins, the long-term dangers of too much steak don't much matter.
