This article is absolutely true. I have felt that we were told to eat a low fat diet simply because the animal rights people don't wamt us to eat meat, and the medical profession wants to remain politically correct.
However, a low fat diet increased my cholestrol numbers, weight and blood pressure. I went on the Adkins diet, lowered all my numbers and my doctor said, "You are doing great on your low fat diet, keep it up." I said, "OK, and went home and ate bacon and eggs.
By Gosh finally someone who has a smart doctor too? My Cardiologist and family doc. recommend Atkins to me over four years ago to control my outrageous blood lipids. It worked, and My HDL is now 92 up from 32, Tryglicerides are 42 down from over 400 and LDL is 138 down from over 200. In the process I lost over 30 some lbs and am maintaining a weight of 102 for the past 2 years. Thank GOD this is finally getting attention .
