Not to be a wise guy but isn't Mr. Atkins sick? I had heard he had heart problems? I am being serious here.
It could be intentional or careless incompetence. One a telling sign of intentional dishonesty the later a matter of ignorance and denial. IMO, considering your claim of not being a wise guy I'd say it was intentional dishonesty. For a person stating they are serious to refer to a doctor (Dr. -- a doctor that has been mentioned several dozen times on this thread) as mister (Mr.) has been one or the other -- intentionally dishonest or, ignorant of your own denial thus simply incompetent -- you chose.
I heard a bit back, he had heart problems, so I asked the question. I dont use titles often, so I guess you got me there but do you really think I am dishonest or incompetent because I asked that question?
I myself love CG Jung and talk about his work in philosophy and psychology forums. I also talk about Sigmund Freud who I dont really care for but did you note that I do not use the term Doctor or Professor for either of them?
I think you are taking my criticism of Dr. Atkins a wee bit personal. You can go here and request a brochure by the American society of Spports Medicine... http://www.acsm.org/
However, they are a lot more harsh then myself in analyzing the low carb diet. Since I seem to be a bad person, then they would have to be evil incarnate.
