Right....now only were they giving bad advice on weight control, they were
also making it harder to sick kids to get proper treatment, all because it
was too hard to believe that removing carbs could have benefit. So, in
addition to not doing further research on LC eating, they failed to do
further research on ketogentic diets (which is what Atkins is, BTW) for
epileptic kids.

Well, I guess I agree with you. Better late than never.
