announced in front of God
and everybody:

Any opinions about whether or not what this guy has to say as being true
as well as the whole story?

I was interested in what he had to say, up to the point where he
wrote:

"This situation can lead to a harmful increase in the acidity of the
body fluids, a condition called acidosis or ketosis."

Ketosis and acidosis aren't the same thing. Ketosis is merely the
process of burning stored fat.

When somebody's presenting themselves as an expert but gets something
that fundamental completely wrong -- and present that incorrect
information to strengthen their argument -- I find it difficult to
seriously consider anything else they have to say.

He also gives incorrect information about protein sparing, makes
bizarre, false statements like "not eating enough (carbs) can lower
your energy level and make your muscles feel softer" and is completely
wrong about current research regarding fat consumption, parroting the
old, false belief that eating fat -- any fat! -- increases the
likelihood of heart disease and cancer ... even going do far as to say
that he thinks the American Heart Associations recommendation of 30%
dietary fat is *too liberal.*

In other words ... he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

I think he means ketoacidosis, which means that he's a complete idiot.
