Thank you, Christie,

I find it a bit interesting that Colette Heimowitz was not mentioned in the

rebuttal.

This is the Official line from Atkins Nutritionals,

quoted directly from their newsletter:

" We want to assure you that when you follow the Atkins

Nutritional Approach

(ANA), the consumption of all forms of natural fat is

perfectly safe. Let us

also remind you that despite numerous studies that

have supported the safety

and efficacy of the ANA, the conventional nutrition

community has no

scientific research to back up its claims that

consuming fat (including

saturated fat) is bad for you in the context of a

controlled carbohydrate

lifestyle.

The fight goes on-and will no doubt continue. The

latest attack comes in the

form of an outrageous article in The New York Times,

claiming that we at

Atkins have changed our position on fat consumption.

Loud and clear, with

the notable exception of man-made trans fats (which

Dr. Atkins long ago

identified as dangerous), all fats are a healthy

component of the Atkins

lifestyle.

Atkins has not changed its basic tenets in more than

30 years. So what is

new? Well, Atkins is changing the way people around

the world eat and that

should keep us in the headlines for years to come! "
