Atkins ( and the low carb case ) actually has 150 years of valid research under the belt. Low carb diets used to be the standard of care for type 2 diabetes until we figured out how to produce insulin. You can find 'diabetic cookbooks' from the 1800's that basically end up describing a low carb diet.
I can show you a variety of papers on this if you are feeling open minded ( doesn't sound like you are, you probably just think it's unscientific because you heard something else and prefer to believe it ).
This lady has been part of a group that's been fighting the federal government dietary policy for decades:

It's actually low fat diets and the demonization of saturated fat and cholesterol that's new. Ancel Keys' scientific fraud and George McGovern began this in the 1950's, shifting our agricultural policies towards pushing for a high sugar, high grain diet... which is ideal for livestock, but not us..
The government for 6 decades has actually been on vegan and vegetarian's sides this whole time.
Agriculture in this country is completely messed up for both plant and meat eaters. If it's not pesticides and herbicides you have to worry about, it's factory farming and hormones you gotta worry about. The entire system is screwed, but that's another discussion for another time.

tomjasz said:WHOA! Accepting my government hasn't a vested interest in supporting conventional ag? Nope. I also have to look at the studies and see where they are funded. Atkins and science in the same sentence? Nah! Let's look at who serves on the Ag committees and heads the Dept. of Ag. Stuffed with former Monsanto shills.
