[Dont Mention the War]

Remember, ANYONE can say, do and write what they want in the field of nutrition... Even if they know next to nothing. While you would never ask a mechanic to do brain surgery, folks seem fine with having their diets written by folks of the same ilk.

Are you actually attempting to imply that Robert Atkins was just some random guy off the street? He was a real physician with an MD from Cornell.

Yep,
he was a 'medical doctor' whose field of experitize was in medicine...

He had, at Cornell, the basic nutrition course that all pre-med students get..

Probably taught by someone like me...

I am NOT implying he didn't do further research...
but it still doesn't make him a nutrition expert...

To the professionals, he is a joke...

Sorry folks.
