Re: 50% cholesterol drop and 30% triglyceride drop after 1 year on Aikens' Diet

Atkins did not die of old age! he mysteriously fell on ice and hit his head and died! At 70 something Atkins was in good health working long days starting early in the morning and often traveling and doing tv talk shows!Granted Atkins was no health freak he discovered the concepts of low carb diet to not only help his regular patients who where suffering from heart disease and diabetis, etc. but also to help himself from heart problems and obesity, which his education in cardiology offered nothing in the way of finding or returning to good health! Atkins was not the Jack Lalaine of low carb diets and probably not the best example of what a low carb diet has to offer in the way of good health! Atkins brought awareness to the fallacy that fat is harmful and that processed foods are deadly! These concepts alone can return one to good health with a little imagination and keeping up with what good nutrition is ! I think Atkins one failure was to not emphasize enough the importance of fruits and vegetables and how important uncooked foods including raw unpasturized dairy products are to go along with the cooked proteins and fat!
