Leave a whole category of foods out of your diet and there'll be consequences. Common sense.

Nonsense. Human beings DO NOT NEED SUGAR! And that's all that refined carbohydrates are.

Also, human beings do not need bananas or any other high-sugar fruit. Berries, apples and low-glycemic fruits and non-starchy vegetables give the human organism everything it needs.

Humans also don't need dairy, of any kind.

The Atkins diet has been around for nearly 35 years, and there is no medical evidence that it is detrimental.

"Nonsense. Human beings DO NOT NEED SUGAR!"

Maybe so. But without it you end up with some pretty droopy people.

I agree that humans do not NEED dairy, but it is hard to enjoy a good cheeseburger without the cheese.

I don't know about the "no dairy" thing. I've been pregnant or nursing since 1996 and I think I'd have an awful time getting enough calcium naturally without milk (I don't like "fortified" OJ or calcium supplements).

Maybe MOST people don't need dairy but for me drinking 3 glasses of milk/day is much easier than eating spinach all day long.
