The founder of the site:

Dr. Greger is a graduate of the Cornell University School of Agriculture and the Tufts University School of Medicine.

Agriculture... or, in layman's terms, a special interest against low-carb ways of eating. His agenda will foment people eating more of what he studied... grains, corn, etc, not less. I take what he says with a grain of...well... grain.

Agriculture also includes livestock.

But, after doing a search on this guy it's plain to see that he is pushing a vegan lifestyle. Many vegetarian web sites carry his articles. He's done a few articles on Mad Cow Disease. And he says that SARS is "Another Deadly Virus From the Meat Industry".

It's true that a risk factor for colon cancer is the high consumption of animal fat.

A diet mostly from animal sources: A diet that is high in fat, especially fats from animal sources, can increase your risk of colorectal cancer. Over time, eating a lot of red meats and processed meats can increase colorectal cancer risk. The American Cancer Society recommends choosing most of your foods from plant sources and limiting your intake of high-fat foods such as those from animal sources. The American Cancer Society also recommends eating at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every day and several servings of other foods from plant sources, such as breads, cereals, grain products, rice, pasta, or beans. Many fruits and vegetables contain substances that interfere with the process of cancer formation. http://www.cancer.org/docroot/home/index.asp?level=0

Physical inactivity and obesity are also risk factors. As are smoking, aging, diabetes, alcohol intake and on and on.

So, IMO, get on the Atkins WOL and follow the book exactly as it's written. Climb the rungs and lose the weight. Exercise. You're cutting out two risk factors right there. And don't forget to get a screening for colon cancer after the age of 50. http://www.cancer.org/docroot/ped/ped_5.asp

But, thanks for posting the article. It was quite entertaining.

Re: Funny!

sadie the world is full of folk with agendas and they misrepresent the facts. The teen did die and there was an uproar but she was doing her own severly restricted diet and the doctor issued a warning to ER docs for teens presenting with symptoms like hers to ask if they were doing a diet like Atkins so they could be given electrolytes and live. It was discussed on ADBB as well when it happened but Atkins wasn't the cause.

And as Pisabird pointed out any constipating way of eating can be a factor in colon cancer and if Atkins is eatten poorly and wrongly it can be very constipating as we have seen on ADBB but that doesn't mean Atkins is the fault nope it is the dieters poor choices of veggies.
I'm glad it angered you and you are passionate about your Atkins all we can do is distribute Atkins correct info and ask for specifics when folk tell us Atkins is bad.
I can sympathize P I S S was banned to and that is what folk call the post induction stall syndron so you can imagine what my post looked like with all the **** in the why has my weight loss stopped topics by folk after the 14 day period until I realized it was banned and spaced it.
