Did you all see that NY Times Sunday mag article: GOOD GRIEF!

[Guest guest]

Hi all!

Did anyone here see that Times article that shocked me so?!

Every Sunday i try to read the New York Times. i love their magazine

that is part of this Sunday paper. In this issue, July 7th, i saw ,

on the cover, covering the whole page, a huge steak slathered with a

melting pat of butter: the headline says[more or less] " Dr Atkins is

right!! "

---seems that a group of researchers are finding some very very

disquieting news: that it is the low fat 'healthy' diet, that ALL the

nutitionalists are now pushing, that is making America have this fat

epedemic! even now, the writer says...'he looks at a breakfast

scrambled egg and bacon as if he is looking at somthing like a viper

[my words]!! but he has to admit that the theories of 'dr Atkins " is

right...a carbo diet is not natural to Man!

--i cannot, with my AUTISM and my 5wpm typing skills, go into all the

technicalness of the " insulin resistance' and all of that!

Point, perhaps, of this rant...is that tis amzing how all the experts

seem to get it all so so wrong. if this writer is right: ALL the diet

advice for the last 30 years is *UTTERLY* wrong!

--maybe they WILL, in 20 more years, find Nictotine to be

life-supporting, and we all will be urged to smoke ot take nicotine

pills! [Woody allen... " the Sleeper " !]

I might try to find a net copy of this article and post it here!
