A bunch of hyperbole for those who really care nothing about nutrition.

Speaking as a Ph.D. in Human Nutrition/Nutritional Biology from the University of Chicago, I can say that the story is not hyperbole and is far closer to nutritional sanity than something like the Atkins diet.

Do you think setting up straw men and knocking them down is sanity? This article contributes to confusion regarding dietary understanding, not sanity. I am sure we could have a reasonable debate about Atkins. I am not a devotee, but see hysteria in the reactions to its popularity. IMHO this would be in that category.

Atkins has brought many to the understanding that what one eats changes one's hormonal balance, directly influencing one's sense of hunger. This, in and of itself, gets one from lack of willpower as the reason for failing weight-loss diets to what or how one eats. An obvious improvement .
