before he died atkins was ill. his diet produces a state of ketosis, i suggest that you DO YOUR RESEARCH, before you blindly adhere to any system or man. by the way what about the rate of cancer among atkins people. you know that the levels of pestesides are 100 times more potent in meat than in vegetables. what is your problem? Have you invested in the atkins biz? Is that what its all about? you are hostile and defensive. Again DO your REsearch. Man, I cant educate you. you have to examine the facts.I guarentee that many of you atkins people, will become seriously ill, because, AGAIN, the meat supply is seriously contaminated.
Atkins IS dead and not just because of a fall. He was ill DUE TO years of his diet. god i need a vacation from people.
