How much $ are they getting from this study?

I don't see any mention of a study. Just the opinion of some medical bureaucrats. I did read a big article in the British press from a "nutritional expert" saying the exact same thing. Again, no study, just opinion. A follow-up story revealed she had received 25,000 pounds from the British flour manufacturers association for her "research". Of course she denied that in any way affected her opinion.

Yeah, I posted faster than I could think. I knew it wasn't a study, or they couldn't have come to the conclusion they did.

I counted four mentions of "high fat" in the article. THey seem to want to imply that if you are on Atkins, you're just gorging on sausages dipped in lard.

The reality of the diet is to rearrange one's eating habits to something more sensible. Like the poster above mentioned, one fattens livestock with grains. Just like the "nutritional" pyramid scheme for people. This helps explain in layman language why Atkins works and the food pyramid doesn't.

A book my bro-in-law recommended to us is Natural Hormonal Enhancement. It takes Atkins, somewhat, and adds proper exercise. Interesting to me is how one must eat protein before and after exercise to prevent muscle depletion.
