Heh. > promise similar things (eg, the Atkin's diet ... heh, Dr. Atkins died > recently of heart disease, bless his cotton socks). He in fact died while in a coma following slipping on ice earlier this year: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/2957343.stm The more I read about lipid and carb metabolism the more I'm coming around to idea that diets high in trashy carbs (white bread, pasta, sugar, fructose, etc.) are more responsible for the increasingly fat & obese populations of the UK & US. There's More Than One Type of Fat, too. As you say, essential fatty acids are quite a different beast from transfats, etc (e.g. in margarine - why do people even consider eating this shit? Ignorance? Don't care about themselves? Laziness? Habit?) Sigh, Darwin... P -- Paul Makepeace ....................................... http://paulm.com/ "What is jack?
