This is a good piece of information and shows how very careful one has to be
to suss out the vested, and often undeclared, interests of those opining on
this or that lifestyle.

Yes, what is more, there is a definite money agenda as well as worse behind
the criticisms. Read on. This was posted this morning on another group.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- The late Dr. Robert Atkins is being
smeared for his alleged obesity at the time of his death, by a phony doctors
organization that has been exposed as a front group for People for the
Ethical
Treatment of Animals (PETA) and has been censured by the American Medical
Association (AMA). The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM)
has taken in over $1 million from PETA and the animal rights movement. PCRM
and PETA also share office space, board members, and staff.
The AMA has formally censured PCRM in the past, calling its
recommendations "irresponsible" and "potentially dangerous to the health and
welfare of Americans." The AMA has also called PCRM a "fringe organization"
that uses "unethical tactics" and is "interested in perverting medical
science."
PCRM's attacks on diets including meat, fish and dairy foods, and its
constant demands for a vegetarian America are rooted in an animal-rights
philosophy.
The facts on the late Dr. Robert Atkins:

(1) Dr. Stuart Trager MD, chairman of the Atkins Physicians Council,
told
the Wall Street Journal that Atkins' heart disease stemmed from
cardiomyopathy, a condition that was thought to result from a viral
infection. Atkins' weight was due to bloating and water-retention
associated with his condition, and the time he spent in a coma after
his head injury.
(2) Trager's own release this morning reads in part: "Due to water
retention ... [Atkins] had a weight that varied between 180 and 195.
During his coma, as he deteriorated and his major organs failed,
fluid
retention and bloating dramatically distorted his body and left him
at
258 pounds at the time of his death, a documented weight gain of
over
60 pounds."

Right, he set a worlds record by going from 195 to 258 lbs on a water diet in
just over a week. Fruits and vegetables are bad and bacon cheese is good ...WTF

Are you some kind of a troll? The guy was unconscious from a head injury
and his organs failed. Besides that, before his injury he was on
prednisone which blows you up. Anyone seen Jerry Lewis lately? Same
effect.

Anyone who knows what a low carb diet is about doesn't say that you live on
bacon and cheese. I eat tons of vegetables and some fruits but I calculate
them into my carb allowance.

Trolls...... sheesh.

Glad you asked the question, crapskull. Go read up on comatose
patients who take prednisone and who are on life support. Then you
won't post such wonderfully stupid trolling notes. So you won't post
such world record clown notes.

Your friend

Atkins espouses heaps and heaps of good vegetables.
and I don't eat bacon or cheese.

Troll.

However, I do wonder if the hospital did overdo the IVs. They were
obviously pumping him full of fluids, but when do you say enough is
enough?

Here is a link to some info about Neal Barnard, the head of Physicians
Committee for Responsible Medicine. This is the organization that is
propagating this nonsense about atkins.
