Re: Atkins Diet Has Long-Term Dangers, Researchers Warn
blah blah blah. the same old tired arguments, without any actual data to back it up. just 'it seems to suggest'. or 'in the long term it might'. blah blah blah.
what's particularly galling is the mention of a 'minimum daily requirement of carbohydrate for an adult is 150g a day'. exsqueeze me? there is no such requirement, at all. there is *no dietary requirement for carbohydrates*. you can completely eliminate carbohydrates from your diet, and you won't die, and you won't suffer from a deficiency for it. it is quite fantastical that they suggest that there is such a dietary requirement.
classic scare mongering. "new research could reveal hidden risks". well duh! just as new research could reveal hidden benefits! adding that sentence provides no scientific evidence, and is purely pandering to fear.
junk science. discard. next!
