 "Fruits and vegetables have phytonutrients which fight everything from cancer to heart disease, and you can only get these nutrients from actual fruits and vegetables." .........

DUH! Your mother told you this with fewer words, when you were peeing in your crib!

People shouldn't focus so much on low carbs that they're afraid to eat unrefined carbs "like dried beans and peas, a bowl of lentil soup, or whole grains or a piece of fresh fruit," said Mara Lamb, the New Profile center's licensed dietitian. Nor should they be indifferent to the difference between bacon and butter fats compared with the healthy fats in olive oil, fish oils and nuts. ..........

DUH!   hitting forehead with palm... suddenly a light came on... sheeesh

"For some people," Cohen said, "low-carb diets are the only way they can succeed."

DUH! Why in the hell did it take so long for these morons to admit this?

.........Different people need different foods, Westbrock said. Those with heart disease are especially vulnerable to saturated fats, and refined carbohydrates are worse for the insulin resistant than for others. No matter what fond hopes leap off the best-seller list, he said,

DUH! Stricken with the obvious, but did it take a Ph.D. to figure that out?

"There's no perfect diet for everyone."

DUH! This is the closest thing to an admission that they (the pencil necked geeks) may have caused millions of people to become obese with their obstinate refusal to at least admit Atkins was on to something 30 years ago, even if it needed some tweaking.. Their admission may have come too late for too many.. but not too late for others... but they still won't say it, not without this adolescent escape clause! "There's no perfect diet for everyone."
