    A good article! Thanks for posting it! It is interesting to me how through the whole article they are saying things that Atkins says but they never mention the diet. I bet people reading the article and agreeing with it are some of the same people who think Atkins is wrong!

        A great story, thanks for posting.

        I can't believe they mention low-carb bars and low-carb yogurt (and egg salad, and full-fat peanut butter, etc) and don't mention Atkins. Phooey!

          It sounds to me like they are encouraging eliminating sugar and refined starch independent of a weight loss program. I'm sure Dr. Atkins would give this 2 thumbs up!

            I completely agree. My hubbie's best friend has an overweight aunt with very little knowledge of HOW food works in the body, like many Americans. I guess as kids they swung by her house and she was downing a jar full of liccorice, under the premis it was fat-free and therefore OK. I'm glad to see a lot more articles coming out showing the links between high-carb and high-sugar typically ruining the concept behind a "lowfat/healthy" food.
