Atkins appeared in public constantly and was on the Larry king show to challenge the american diabetes association for their failure to cure diabetes, a few month later he was found dead ! how convenient! I find it incredible that he could have hidden his obesity in his open everyday life under scrutiny from the establishment press! Atkins veiws damaged the profits of the food processing industries and the credibility of the of the medical establishment. His alternative theories have finally been tested by Science and prove to be valid! However it made very little press! But the lies make front page and network t.v. ! Who to believe Science or the media? I wonder! Grog
