It's actually the perfect analogy to what you were saying.

No, it is not. Read my post. I was responding to numerous people who were wanting the links to adverse publicity re Atkins. I simply told them, i.e., how to do their own homework.

Then I said, "The resulting webs sites will give you plenty of info on both sides of the issue."

I wasn't slanting to one side or the other on the posts.

Then some moron criticized me for an "ominous" blessing. He then relegated the entirety of his proposition to a personal attack on me. What an idiot!

If this is your caveat , viz., that I'll have a coronary if I continue to read from this forum, then I would have to agree.

After all, if a political action forum is this juvenile, you're right, it's not worth my wasting my time.

You are a relative newcomer so I'll try to explain why debate is heated on this particular topic. The low-carb diet plans have been discussed on this forum for years now. All the pros and cons have already been addressed. You seem earnest in wanting to point out what the critics of this diet are saying but we have already been down that road many, many times. In fact, I used to be on the other side of the issue myself. I was a real skeptic.

But as I read more about this type of eating, I came to realize that the critics were wrong and that this is not an "all-you-can-eat-meat" diet at all. In fact, it is the most balanced diet imaginable. So, having been about a hundred pounds overweight most of my adult life, I decided to give it a try and within six months I had lost nearly all my excess weight (and I'm working on the rest right now).

Contrary to the skeptics, my cholesterol has actually dropped. I now eat more vegetables than I ever ate before in my life. This is because I am not eating processed foods and refined sugars. No high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated vegetable oils and bleached flour. I'm eating all the good stuff. Meat, vegetables, fish, nuts, olive oil, cheese, yogurt, eggs, berries, etc.

While I'm not proclaiming that this diet is perfect for everybody, it is very beneficial for a lot of people who have become addicted to our sugary processed and refined food products.
