TOTAL NONSENSE. There are numerous low carb vegetables. "We have known for many years that there is a minimum intake of carbohydrate necessary to maintain the normal function of your body and that is approximately 150 grams a day," he said. "But, if on the Atkins diet you go down to 20 to 30 grams in the induction phase, then maybe go up to 100 grams, still you are far below what your body needs." Comments? gtomey Twenty years ago, one could have written "We have known for many years that stomache ulcers are caused by too much stress inducing too much stomach acid which eats away to cause the ulcer... and buttermilk and toast are the proper diets to treat the ulcer. NOw, it is knonwn that many ulcers are caused by bacteria and the treatment is anitbiotics.... with buttermilk and toast pretty much forgotten. The phrasing "We have known for many years....." is almost a setup for "We have been telling each other for many years....." and telling isn't the same as really knowing. Then too, since Atkins was a backstabber to the cardiology profession when they were first pushing the low fat thing, anything you do to discredit a backstabber is fair. Jim |
