Just a thought but...
Now that Atkins is dead do you think this company will take on to the idea,
as the Scientologists have, to sell future editions of Atkins books with the phrase, Based on the teachings of Robert Atkins... etc? Only they will add new information or Tech, in Scientology parlance, specifically when they find new products to shill? I mean Atkins himself was selling out in the end, the last version of his book was the first to accept "sugar free" sugar alcohol products as safe for the low carber, coincidentally just before releasing his own sugar free sugar alcohol products. Now that it's more a corporation rather than a living person's reputation on the line, should we expect a major push of products down our throat ala Dr. Phil... oh wait... Dr. Phil is living isn't he, I guess we should debate if he's a person... no matter ya'll get my point. PJ -- "The very aim and end of our institutions is just this: that we may think what we like and say what we think." - Oliver Wendell Holmes "To be loved is to be fortunate, but to be hated is to achieve distinction." - Minna Antrim "The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously." - Hubert H. Humphrey "The idea that you can merchandise candidates for high office like breakfast cereal--that you can gather votes like box tops--is, I think, the ultimate indignity to the democratic process." - Adlai Stevenson |

Research on the effectiveness of the Atkins diet and similar ones is increasing. Results are showing that the low carbohydrate approach to losing weight is effective for many people. Assuming the research continues to show the Atkins approach is effective, then, obviously, people will develop and market new products to satisfy the increased demand for them. That's fundamental economics. martin |

You're a troll, I think no matter what I post you've made it your mission to
auto-contradict anything I write, so I think you should get cancer of the cock and have it removed without anesthesia. You are killfiled.

Lying to you doesn't really count as lying, considering you're not really a
person.
